Hey guys, just wanted to give you a quick update on some shizz.
First of all, I just released an update to the Competitive Tier List. I was just wrapping it up when I realized that so little is changing (it’s just slight updates to optimal clan builds and placement) that I’m going to wait another week (until the next patch) to do updates for the other Tier Lists. In the meantime, I figured I’d just let you know that the Urbanmech variants are probably going to land in tiers 3 and 4 of the IS Tier List.
Second of all…my computer is cursed. Seriously, the PCIe slots on my new-ish motherboard stopped working mid-comp match the other day, and I haven’t been able to fix it yet. At least I assume it’s the slots, I’ve tried two graphics cards, each on both of my PCIe slots, and no luck. Still on my to-do list are flashing the bios and just opening it up and poking around to see if I can find anything obviously wrong, but I’ve never even heard of anything like this happening – if you have any ideas let me know at [email protected] I’m wide open to suggestions. If I don’t fix it, I don’t know, I’m probably going to RMA it and…I don’t know. Maybe I’ll get a replacement, maybe I’ll try to find something else, maybe I’ll (god forbid) take a break from MWO. In which case this site would have to stop being a one man show which is scary for me. But it just seems like such a shame to do a new build when Skylake is right around the corner, yaknow? Either way, I’m going to be performing some surgery on her so fingers crossed. I’ve tried playing MWO on the iGPU but I get like 17 frames on testing grounds with minimum settings (which is kind of impressive to be honest, but not nearly good enough, particularly not for my purposes).
Smooches
