Honestly way more surprised that scouting is a game mode that still exists. I almost miss the 1v1 queues, even if it is even more haphazardly balanced.
Honestly, I find a lot of other CMD models way stronger and even trying this build, I don't find this super good either way. Yes it is essentially a super min/max variant, but 23 alpha on a slow cd isn't exactly game breaking imo compared to some other options.
The real problem isn't it's Damage Output, the problem is the thing is basically immortal. With MASC hitreg + Zombie stick, you can basically take 1000 damage and still keep going.
Holy. Shit. Man I am glad you are back. Bad news, in the last week since your patch vid I've tried posting stuff about the Cauldron needing to be reviewed on the MWO forums, the HPG and MWO reddits and they all get taken down within an hour. Worse during that hour on reddit they get spammed by Cauldron fanbois and bots within mins. Fuck me the Cauldron has become so fucking lame and stupid, and entirely immune to criticism.
Nice lies. Not once have any posts regarding the criticism of cauldron has been taken down by anyone in HPG. If they were taken down, it was because of reddit filters that actively remove posts and comments made by people that they find inflammatory, or, if your account is brand new, you are flagged as a bot account for awhile. No, I cannot stop them, and no, there's no settings to prevent them from doing so.
No, because according to D A T A, the mechs should be balanced for World class pilots, and the rest just have to git gud, or go. Entirely the wrong attitude from the man who seconded HAGs not getting bullet spread, because he likes them. He is simply not impartial enough.
@@axelkolle9994 I disagree... Nerf the quirks. They have gotten out of hand. DATA is not just saying it, he is demonstrating it. It's an old game, but it's all we have. Don't ruin it.
@@axelkolle9994 I disagree. The game is being ruined by these nonsensical quirk buffs. As is demonstrated over and over. Somebody else needs to take over here, and soon. As is, it's a joke.
the best thing about the D03 is that there's no way for newbies to get it, since it's the Crhistmas 2023 gift mech, shoutout tot he absolutely dogshit Viper they gave out this year instead
Eh it's survivable but OP? Your opponents were regarded and let you plink away at them. That 'Mech has basically no heat dissipation and pretty poor range. Pressed it would fold quick.
If they all focused him it wouldn't have mattered, the hitreg MASC bugging plus zombie capable hardpoints means they might not have even killed him 4v1 while his 3 teammates became the ones who they "let plink away at them"
@@kirinashia567 People really don't understand how much effective firepower you can take with hitreg bugs. Then on top of just how much you can "tank" by people legitimately missing due to speed/size/agility and most players having poor aim. Now add in taking full advantage of being a zombie. People just telling on themselves that they don't understand the game very well if they think a mech capable of tanking as much (honestly more than) an assault as a light is ok. A mech like this being abused the way the designer intended is tanking 5x more than the damage taken number will say at the end of the game and with PLENTY of firepower to knife an assault in the back or out duel an opposing light (or even 2v1) and/or it's team kill off what it's distracting. It's "no heat dissipation" and "pretty poor range" are irrelevant here.
My favorite part was losing his side torso and could still alpha strike 6 times before having to worry about heat
The strongest part about it is that the lasers form an interesting shape when all 5 hardpoints are used ;)

if you can't use MASC, you are correct
there are stronger models, sure, but in terms of laser builds and high rof? this takes the cake. 23 alpha is fine for a 25 tonner honestly.

Ty for the video .
shameful cauldron activity
So even if I hit its CT or leg with pinpoint double heavy gauss I won't kill or leg it. That's ridiculous.

To be fair, that is concerning as bias is no good for anybody.
tankiest 25tonner ever
bleeeeeurgh!
This just makes me wanna play this stupid mech lol it was such a dumb idea to add this commando
Wow this is absolutely ridiculous.
Its fun to drive, but 100% agree, this shouldn't be in the game.
scouting is still alive? i thought its long dead
Not even pretending to design a reasonable mech with this. So blatantly ridiculous.
It would be great if PGI could get on the phone with you to at least discuss fixing this game.

What is cauldron doing when they do something like that? It's good they didn't add Jump Jets
Quirk system is why I dropped this game.
LOL on that structure in the legs, what a joke. zero issues with losing a toro. ugghhhh. wish I liked playing lights.

surprisingly I have this in inventory, I've never played it.
The mech is available for cbills to everyone...
It's literally in the store for cbills now
Its not that newbies cant get it, they wont recognize what they staring at and how blatantly it fucks over any semblance of fair game or balance...
@@StalowyZolw Weird that I almost never see it in game. Must be so OP its invisible.

You're just as "regarded" as his opponents if you think the design principles of these mechs aren't blatantly "regarded."

You're beating a dead horse, DATA. It's pathetic.
