Post by: Number One on 28/07/2012, 08:23 PM
PRE-Deployment brief session. THIS IS NOT COMPULSORY!

ok so MWO goes live soon, what i propose is that if anyone who is intending to play MWO with us tune into TS. this sunday night so we can have a chat, figure out what we as a group want to get out of MWO and how we want to approach it as a group.

Sunday 5th August - 7.30pm/1930hrs EST on TS for anyone wanting to play or be in on the action

please post  items you want to discuss, i will add to the list.

Post by: DirtyHarry on 31/07/2012, 02:21 PM
I am pretty darn excited for this. There is actually a mech called "JagerMech." It is my perfect machine, covered in autocannons.

I must drink Jagerbombs in my Jagermech.

Also $60-ing it up.

Hmm to get the catapult or atlas with the $60 deal.. I'm pretty sure everyone will get atlas, but it could just own everything


Title: Re: 1930hrs EST Sunday 5th August MechWarrior PRE-Deployment Briefing/discussion
Post by: Number One on 31/07/2012, 08:37 PM

Title: Re: 1930hrs EST Sunday 5th August MechWarrior PRE-Deployment Briefing/discussion
Post by: Chalice on 01/08/2012, 05:40 AM
Not too bad, mainly used as missile platform...cant hold the same kind of weapons as the Atlas thouhg which just plain fruck shit up..and those large pods on the Cat get knocked off easy as theyre such tempting targets :)


Title: Re: 1930hrs EST Sunday 5th August MechWarrior PRE-Deployment Briefing/discussion
Post by: HellsWarrior on 01/08/2012, 07:14 AM

Lovin the game (when I can play..) and no black marks mate, just a catch to get a battle plan I think ;)

Despite how much I want to, I won't be able to get this game and join you guys until late November onwards, when I finally leave this (piece of !@#$) proxied internet behind...

When I get in I think I'll be wanting a Catapult or Atlas until they add my beloved MadCat...


Title: Re: 1930hrs EST Sunday 5th August MechWarrior PRE-Deployment Briefing/discussion
Post by: sTyLeRock on 03/08/2012, 10:57 AM
hey how are battles setup? is there like a required amount of assault, scout, medium mechs required? or can it be like a team full of atlas vs a team full of catapults, depending on requirements i might not get the atlas since i'm sure we'd need other roles


Title: Re: 1930hrs EST Sunday 5th August MechWarrior PRE-Deployment Briefing/discussion
Post by: BiigMacK on 03/08/2012, 03:34 PM
It doesn't seem like there is a balance yet. I have played a few times where my team had 4 Jenna's VS a team of Atlas's


Title: Re: 1930hrs EST Sunday 5th August MechWarrior PRE-Deployment Briefing/discussion
Post by: sTyLeRock on 03/08/2012, 04:52 PM
can you use your founder mech in the beta? i wanna test out and choose lol


Title: Re: 1930hrs EST Sunday 5th August MechWarrior PRE-Deployment Briefing/discussion
Post by: Number One on 03/08/2012, 05:10 PM
basically yes. but to get in game you have to buy foundsers and choose your Founders mech BEFORE you get to play..

Quote from: Crazy Canuck, OP for the link above, as of July 26th:
Just a recent update that I found without forcing people to read through everything but were wondering if you can change you mech choice after it was already made. Yes you can. Click on the Founder's Banner and then mouse-over/click on the slot showing the 1 Founders Mech. An option to choose again will be given.

Here's the link if you wanted to change it now: http://mwomercs.com/founders

Post by: Number One on 05/08/2012, 08:53 PM
ok well we had a few turn up, it's a start, i think if we do this like once a month it would be good.
i think some of the things born out of the discussion, is we need to know more about the BT universe, whats going to happen with clans,factions,merc' units and so on.  a couple of basic strategies seem to be coming around.  items of note include: wing man(everyone needs one.)
 not bunching up. concentrating fire. recon of enemy forces, and communication.

it reminds me some what of the old PR days... very tactical.

i managed to make it last night to. Had a blast. I stripped a Catapult down and slapped in twin Gauss Rifles. Was a win for me as I score some good hits and did take out a mech (Yay for me)

I tried doing some pubbing this morning, its fucking retarded as the games i had everyone went solo or awol and fucking left you to die in a hole :( So a lance mate is needed for sure with some tactics.
