Weekly Blog #9 – Happy (almost) 2-month-iversary


And if you have any actual anniversaries today that you forgot about, go get that shit covered.

 

Anyways, it’s been a great couple of monhts (tomorrow will mark the actual point of 2 full months). The pace has really slowed down the last couple of weeks sadly because of PGI being on vacation and me not being inspired enough to finish any of the things that I started writing, but tomorrow I’ll put out what has basically turned into just the guide to PUG’ing and everything else, and that’ll be my anniversary present to you. For me, all I ask is some of that tazo chai latte mix cuz omg holy shit it is delicious like seriously I don’t even like tea or anything but goddamn it’s just sugar and spice and everything NOICE.

Besides that, there’s really not much else going on; just been playing a smörgåsbord of games (yeah I copy-pasted that shit with accents and everything) from MWO to WoT to SC to WT to LoL to Robocraft and even Minecraft…I like how the ones I played the least are the acronym-less ones. CW really isn’t something that excited me and I’m just looking forward to leagues starting (back) up so that I can get my groove on.

Anyways, y’all are great and thanks for the last two months. And I can’t wait for the next 10. But after that I’m packing up and leaving.

 

I also wanted to take this opportunity to highlight some other community content which you may be interested in.

First is this site that I think is pretttty cool, had never heard of it before but I think it’s definitely worth a look-see. Comstar Chronicles. It’s a pretty dank news site kinda deal that he started a month or so ago for CW but it’s also got some other stuff in there too that’s worth pokin’ around. And I mean seriously, there’s actually a planet called “pomme de terre”? That literally means potato. They’re fighting over a potato.

Second is a “3rd-party” article that Diablo Interceptor wrote and published on the MetaMechs forums: Why do tier lists exist? What do they mean? Do they matter? I think it goes over a lot of the stuff that I sort of just take for granted in what I do since I’ve been almost overexposed to tier lists for the last few weeks (seriously Elementz and Stonewall are my spirit guides). I’m going to eventually make a page for this in particular, but I need to do some work on the main site to make room for it…it’s complicated.

And another 3rd party article that was just posted early early early this morning (I like your style) is a guide on Piloting (IS) Lights by Sai Peregrinus which just has a load of good tips on generic light mech piloting, and if that’s something you’re interested in check it out.

Great stuff guys, and thanks for covering for me 😛

 

Anyways, now for the build of the week:

It’s bad

At the very least, it ain’t good. But hot damn does it brawl. I do mean the hot though, when I say hot damn. I mean it very much. With that cooling efficiency, you’re not going to be able to keep brawling for a while, and you’ll have to sacrifice all of your energy weapon firepower if you wanna cool down. But hot damn, does it brawl. We’re talking about a very respectable 67 (mostly pinpoint) short-range alpha strike, and a whopping 20 maximum DPS, against mostly pinpoint. You keep those super-low beam durations on a CT and it will go down in under 10 seconds for an Atlas without a problem. And then you’ll have to sit back and chill for a little while. I hate using single missile launchers of any kind, but…I had extra tonnage and figured extra DPS is extra DPS, right?

If you feel so…insanely inclined to try this shit out, I wish you the very best of luck. Slaughter some puggies for me and glhf <3
