Where I do my best work. Category Archives: For teh nubz. MWO information hangs out here. Here we go guys, the Japan blog is beginning! Before I can talk about my first impressions, I have to talk about the journey itself. TL;DR: Best travel day I’ve ever had. Clearing customs was a breeze, and I got my residence card at the airport. That meant I was officially living in Japan on my first day there! This entry was posted in For teh nubz. August 21, 2016. Third variant is reader’s choice. Both t...YouR...

Where I do my best work. Since this is the hit topic in MWO right now, let’s define exactly what P2W is and what it means for our future as gamers in this marketplace. UPDATE: PGI has backed off of their earlier consumable plan. To be even more approachable for the non-paying player. My definition of pay to win-. A user who spends real life money has a tangible in game advantage that a non-paying player can never achieve, no matter how much in game currency they accumulate. Founders Mechs are not P2W....

Where I do my best work. Monthly Archives: March 2013. A ‘Mech as powerful as possible, as impenetrable as possible, and as ugly and foreboding as conceivable, so that fear itself will be our ally. The Atlas is a 100 ton behemoth, the heaviest Mech in MWO to date. That means that an Atlas build can have the most armor and the heaviest weapons the game has to offer, with room to spare for heatsinks and ammo. Don’t forget to have fun. Disagreed with my opinion? Want me to talk about a specific part of MWO?

The choreography between Mech and pilot is complex. Without getting to esoteric, stay around 75-80% heat and you’ll be a world class pilot in no time. “But EmCee, why don’t I just use this nifty chainfire function that PGI put in the game for me?

Why PGI is making you jump through hoops | The Basement
http://emceemendez.com/why-pgi-is-making-you-jump-through-hoops
Where I do my best work. Why PGI is making you jump through hoops. I had an epiphany on why I. LRMs today. In a conversation, I was able to write it all down to archive for my blog. I hope this helps anyone who was undecided on whether LRMs are good or not. Let’s think of the HW and projects we all did in high school (I’m choosing this because I assume we’ve all already shared this experience). There are two main kinds of work teachers assign; busy, and everything else. I have to jump through a bunch of ...

Where I do my best work. Monthly Archives: February 2013. Why Long Range Missles are bad, and why you should feel bad using them. As I outlined in my ECM. Post, LRMs are completely nullified by ECM. They can’t achieve a lock at all against an ECM Mech. Period, bar none, any range. You paid for tonnage and crit slots to put that fancy Artemis package on your Mech? Too bad, ECM blocks that too. How could the developers do this to us? Bring ECM on your own Mech: If an enemy equipped with ECM is within 180 m...

Where I do my best work. What do you like to play? Are you a methodical player, who wants to know that when you’ve swept a section of the map, it’s completely clear of enemies? Or do you prefer hit and run, sporadic zig-zag style tactics? While there is flexibility in every chassis, most have a sweet spot that you’ll want to exploit. Do you prefer energy, missile, or ballistic weapon systems? Do you want your primary weapons to be arm or torso mounted? Stick with the plan. Disagreed with my opinion?

http://emceemendez.com/why-long-range-missles-are-bad-and-why-you-should-feel-bad-using-them
Where I do my best work. Why Long Range Missles are bad, and why you should feel bad using them. Long Range Missles, or LRMs, are an integral part of Battletech’s trifecta of weapon systems. They offer one of the most versatile battlefield options; indirect fire. An LRM support Mech can safely hide behind cover, share targeting data from allies, and provide substantial fire support from relative safety. In theory. In practice however, LRMs are next to useless. As I outlined in my ECM. Bring ECM on your o...
