@Mvrck

So, this was weird. Remember awhile back when I was in vent and you told me to go register on http://theoosiks.com/ ? Well, I forgot the password I used. So, I went to retrieve password. I entered my e-mail and then clicked "E-mail new password". Nothing appears to happen on the page. This was at least a half hour ago, maybe even closer to an hour at this point and no email. Did you flush that database after testing and I just need to sign up all over again? Could this page be broken? Checked Spam folder and it is not in there.

And I haven't been playing at all lately due to be sucked into a few other games recently. I keep meaning to, but when I sit down I inevitably fire up something else.

Mvrck · May 2013

Did you sign up as @Bolthorn? I'm not seeing you on the user list. We've had so many spam bots registering and my trying to get it under control before launch that I may have deleted you by accident in one of the purges.

f3rret · May 2013

So is Geth a user or a bot? Because I've seen him close threads instantly when Roruz Raz asks, and he also awesomed Bolthorn's post above...

It's a bot to allow the mods to close or control threads without having access to the dangerous "Merge All" button. I think he may have trigger words that cause him to agree or awesome a post.
The other option is that he's a bot that a mod can take control over to agree or awesome a post for chuckles.
The last option, that Geth has achieved sentience and a sense of humor, is too terrifying to consider for more then a few moments.

Bot.

He awesomes posts that he is watching....or something.

DaMoonRulz · May 2013

"Dakka" and "Urb-Exo". Well played.

DaMoonRulz · May 2013

Yeah, yeah guys, I'll be back I just have to go to the bathroom...

*closes door*

Elimination · May 2013

I had no idea we had an Oosiks site now...signing up !

see317 · May 2013

Anybody got shots of a Buccaneer Atlas? Just curious as to what they'll add to the mech that already has a giant skull face on it.

Campy · May 2013

Oh god I hope they put a skull on the skull.

I was hoping they put an eyepatch on it. I mean, how can you not?

HydroSqueegee · May 2013

urge to buy an atlas... rising...

Campy · May 2013

Never fear, Campy is home from work!

Sadly no eye patches or infinitely repeating skulls. There does seem to be some kind of scar thing going on though. Hard to see without being able to zoom in.

Mvrck · May 2013

It also says "Big" and "Deal" on each wrist.

CarbonFire · May 2013

Eh, Buccaneer is kind of blah on the Atlas. Skull is ok, but it looks a little too patchwork and scattershot. I'll keep my PC Gamer Atlas skin for now.

I was also sad that Buccaneer looks terri-bad on the 'Phract. They could have had like a giant skull on the whole face or something, but no, just a few checkerboard patterns here and there and that's about it.

DaMoonRulz · May 2013

Yeah the pattern is less buccaneer and more X's and Checkers

Just resigned up then. Thanks for the quick assistance.

This patch seemed to have messed something up with ELO. Maybe they are tweaking ELO values, point is it sucks right now.

Almost half of my matches are crazy out of wack for weight distribution.

Just had a game where it was 2 Assaults on our team vs there 6.

[goosery] Yeah but did either of those assaults on your team have the +2.5% bonus to arm pitch speed? That'll make all the difference. [/goosery]

Maybe it did, was me in a 733P and had a ally STK-M, with a normal kinda build, no 4XPPC.

My back is now hurting from winning that game.

Every single one or my Jagers is getting that paintjob in the brightest god damn PA color combination I can get. I can't fucking wait to do this.

I am so fucking jealous that I can't play for another week.

sounds like elo is working as intended. sorry you had to suffer through that challenge as opposed to straight weight matching with retarded pubs.

Kay · May 2013

So, uh.

No more XP for damage, it seems? CBills, sure. But no XP.

Delphinidaes · May 2013

Had a game last night where it was almost all assaults on both sides. Their side had something like 4 Highlanders, 1 Atlas and a STK-M.

Clearly the STK-M was the tipping point, it was far more powerful than the 5 STK-M's we had on our team.

We managed to kill exactly ONE of them.

It was refreshing to not have a win waiting for me on a platter.

If i had to guess, it was the 4 HGN's that poptartted your entire STK-M's to death. Maybe it was Alpine? God that would suck on Alpine.

The ability to be outplayed on such a massive level...oh wait.

I'm pretty sure they never awarded XP for damage done.

But Bill the STK-M has a 10% acceleration increase. Clearly with such overpowered mechs on our team (All of which Paid to Win obviously) we should have decimated the enemy team in their weakling CBill mechs.

Delphinidaes · May 2013

On a more serious note, the Misery is certainly a lot of fun. It's a bit of a chore to use it right now as I haven't even unlocked the Basics on it, but in general it feels pretty good.

I will say though people absolutely aim for your left torso like there is a gigantic bullseye on it

But EG poptarts. I didn't know acceleration increased the chances you can shoot through terrain.

was i right about Alpine? Pretty sure im right about the HGN's poptartting as thats all HGN's do right now, myself included.

Delphinidaes · May 2013

Nope wasn't Alpine.

What it was, was a coordinated premade of Highlanders (They all had the same paint scheme, and all running Heavy Metals, Black with Green striping, quite fetching actually) That focus fired us down.

You were also wrong about the poptarting, it actually was a gigantic brawl but they had better focus fire than we did and took us out one by one while our team spread it's fire around to individual targets.

BillGates · May 2013

Damn, non-pubs. Can never figure out what they have up there sleeve.

Mvrck · May 2013

@Kashaar got a sneaky scoop on the upcoming Command Post about UI 2.0

BillGates · May 2013

Holy shit that looks amazing.

Kashaar · May 2013

More details will probably be revealed soon. Expect updates on http://www.outreachnews.net as soon as we know more!

Fleeb · May 2013

So what's the trick with LRMs? Is there a key to press to lock on or something?

Just been playing with trial mechs as I don't yet have enough cash to get... anything, apparently.

On the plus side, I actually managed to do more than 100 points of damage last night! Way better than my previous games of "see enemy, explode shortly afterwards".

This is a good trend.

Spoit · May 2013

Press R to select an enemy (that you or a teammate has LoS on), then hold the cursor over it until the circle turns red

Nyah ha! Thanks!

TOGSolid · May 2013

That UI is masturbation worthy. It looks like the lighting engine is improved as well.

Do.
Want.
