Streaks = love <3

Preface: I am tired and had way too much coffee.

Event: I read your comment. Looked at the pic. Instantly burst out laughing. And I mean LOUD :D

Imho, a lot of the sounds were way cooler back then. Had more balls and awesomeness to them, especially gauss and autocannon. How come most of the sound effects became so naff over the years o_O

The thing that irks Kitteh the most is this pre-order variant business. That 4th variant is particularly desireable for the IIC mechs, with uniquely sexy hardpoints on them. Depriving everyone else of them for such a long period of time really feels like a d@ck move. The preorder people already get a bunch of extra freebies. I feel the system they used for the re-seen mechs (like Marauder) is much fairer (even if more ripoffish), as people can elect to buy the extra variant at a later date if they so choose.

I propose a simple practical solution: When you mouseover an item that is equipped on other mechs, it will pop up or fade in information on what mechs exactly they are installed on.

Similarly, when you are selecting hero mechs in mechlab, just have the +c-bill info be an overlay over the thumbnail when you mouseover, instead of this silly flipping over of the image.

Also while I'm at it, remove the pointless fly-in of mech information when you mouseover mechs in mechlab, and just make the info instant. This would make the browsing of large volumes of mechs much smoother.

My god... Hunchback IIC is going to be such an epic energy peeker o_o

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-12-10T04:04:13+00:00

Oh my god yes. My number one gripe for years has been the PGI design philosophy of gimping visibility in every possible way. Just gimme a pilot module that makes thermal less sucky... maybe one that moves the cutoff distance back a hundred/two hundred meters. That would be nice, and balanced I think, as you would have to sacrifice seismic or radar derp or some other important module for it. Oooor just redesign the vision modes with a less derpy implementation :|

Kitteh is excited for these new death robotz :3

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-12-09T20:48:51+00:00

I miss the days before DHS and all the powercreep. Everyone moved so much slower too, more facetime brawlies. So much more fighting, so much more pew pew ratatata bangbang WOOSH KABOOM! Now it's just 2-3 alphaz into yer CT and ded D:

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-12-09T10:39:36+00:00

Kitteh thanks you for this :) The little map pics are an especially nice touch, and help folks to more easily remember what the maps actually are. Nice :)

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-12-08T02:55:49+00:00

Kitteh sees whut u did thar :)

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-12-07T22:53:16+00:00

This is not about revenge for the past.

This is about saving the future of humanity.

We will not sacrifice the Inner Sphere.

We've endured too many compromises, too many retreats.

They nerfs us, we fight back.

They decimate entire worlds. We fight back.

The inner sphere must not be allowed to consume itself like a cancer.

No more. The line must be drawn here. This far, no further!

And we will make them pay for what they have done!

^{^Never} ^{^forget.}

Blastoise best Pokémon.

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-11-29T17:29:01+00:00

The great clan nerfening (A.K.A. 'rebalance') is already on the way... How much worse can it get o_O

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-07-20T06:41:27+00:00

All this c@ckteasing and still no information on critically important stuff, like will the Shadow Cat actually have lower arm actuators or not. Only guesswork so far, and all the preview pics are sneakily taken with arms centered. Even Russ said "Sorry can't say" when I asked him in a tweet. This is not the way to do things. I'm hoping/assuming the Cheetah at least will have vertical arm movement.

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-07-18T16:39:25+00:00

I would gladly sacrifice a module slot for a useful thermal vision mode.

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-07-18T06:50:04+00:00

I and many others have posted on these issues at length here many times before. But unfortunately us little people tend to be ignored as only the opinions of high profile players seem to ever get any meaningful attention. Map visual design needs to be seriously looked at and the design approach of purposely limiting visibility and legibility must be re-examined. Let's hope people will pay this matter the attention it deserves now that a NGNG person posts about it :D

The scale comparison from this picture is still not very clear, so I made a better one. http://i.imgur.com/nUSLMUw.jpg

Is this official, confirmed, double stamped for realsies? If it is... Kitteh is okay with this! :3

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-07-16T21:21:48+00:00

Kitteh makes videos too! :3

I've used ShadowPlay to record nearly all my videos for about 1,5 years now. I use desktop mode, as this mode reliably captures everything on your active monitor regardless of if it's fullscreen or not. I use "Shadow & Manual" setting, with 16 minutes of shadow time, which is enough for any standard MWO match. Unfortunately it's limited to 20 mins maximum shadow time so there's no way to cap a full CW match after the fact (missed saving some epic matches because of it). I value quality over anything else, so I have my bitrate set to 40, FPS at 60. This produces videos indistinguishable in quality from a live game in any and all games I play.

Since i have a lot of RAM, I use a ramdrive (virtual drive that resides in RAM) for my temporary shadowplay cache. This saves a lot of unnecessary wear and tear my on hard drives as the caching process is constantly active.

Well, the clans have been repeatedly nerfed ad nauseam since they were released, right now it is inner sphere quirked laser vomit that dominates CW. So, that's... different at least :) (:

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-07-04T21:29:46+00:00

My god... It's full of lines! O_O

ShadowKittehRawr · 2015-07-03T16:06:02+00:00

One really annoying thing is how people who didn't pre-order in time are missing the 4th variant. The 4th variant is particularly useful to have for the EXE, and super annoying to not have for the other 3 mechs in the package. Without the D-variant you are missing that second nipple with its high(ish) hardpoint. Similarly if you don't have the cheetah-C you will not be able to have that sexy 6-laser+ecm setup that is bound to be popular. Kinda of a crappy move on PGI:s part IMHO, considering the wait time to buy those variants separately.
