Lol, happy now Thalamus?

Looks amazing guys, can't wait to pilot it.

As for the new map, Si bellissimo, looks like I'll have to get more low-grav training in on extremity

Also, nice tease of the TC

If you take this seriously, you're some kind of mouth-breathing fappwit that shouldn't have survived infancy.

Finally something to rival the price of a Novacat. That Blood Asp is going to be a beast. Good work on getting it all together, that split movement torso is a cool design feature.

That map is really achingly pretty. What are your settings? IIRC you use CCC right? I should try that out.

Can be as many disagree with me, but the Blood Asp by Pawel Czarnecki was much better placed (more one-piece and a nice-looking).

The render that has been present in our media library was unfortunately derived from model geometry that was not appropriate for use within the game engine, despite being very impressive in both layout and detail.

I even have that model and i can say that from up close it looks even better. Pawel Czarnecki is a great artist to look up for any artist present an our team let alone less experienced ones like myself, no two ways about that.

However I DO know how this game works/requires and if you at least thought why this model exists for such a long time and its not in game yet, if not read on the frontpage what KingLeerUK stated about Pawels model you would not have to waste time putting such a shamelessly stupid statement/comparison on a media release thread.

*Edit*
Thank you Gouty.

Gotta second Vlaad there. You should rather appreciate the effort put into the model than just comment on it like that, never having seen or piloted it.

As for the mech and the map: You guys are in for a treat! I am not going to go into detail here in order to keep the suspense, so stay curious ;).

Don't feed hobbits to the trolls!  Awesome media release.  It's such a beautiful mech and the map looks sick too. Grats guys!

Lol, happy now Thalamus?


Yes, Thalamus is very happy with this media release :)




@ Blood Asp:
Awesome model! It's a little bit sad that the Blood Asp has to use the standard MWLL weapon pods, I liked the modules of the original design a bit better; the MWLL weapon pods tend to 'stick out'  bit, imo. But that's definitively not the modeler's fault, he has simply done an outstanding job :) Blood Asp really looks like a beast.


But I'm curious about the loadout of the Blooad Asp in the video linked, regarding its load-out: does that actually work out?

It fairly resembles the sarna-CBT-load-out, but why is the MWLL version "weaker" (I saw the extra ammot tons) when most MWLL mechs are a bit stronger than CBT?


Also:  2 Gauss and 4 MHLL, are their weapon ranges actually compatible? I imagine that it takes some time to get within MHLL range which; during that time, you'll struggle with the enormous reload cycle of the Gauss while the enemy has already noticed you and can run away (firing at you). And when you're finally in the 400m range, it remains to be seen if Gauss Rifles are really that effective.  I'd prefer loadouts like "2 Gauss + 2 HLL" or "2AC20 + 4 MHL". So, question is: how well does that Blood Asp perform in an MWLL-battle? And can you give some clues about other load-outs?







@ Hel's Gate:
Niiiiice. It looks like the best parts of Extremity and Death Valley combined: deadly atmosphere, gleaming light, cold (Heavy Large Lasers ftw), vast plains... I've experienced both very crappy and very great matches on Extremity and Death Valley, so I'm really looking forward to give it a try!






Thanks devs! You're doing great!

Also, judging by the video,  does the HUD radar now include sky directions (north, west, south, east)? That'd be awesome!! :)

Important MWLL media releases always happen when I'm at work and the front page of this site is blocked by the office firewall.

Every. Goddamn. Time.    >:(

That has it's reasons.
First being that the Devs usually work on this stuff when other people are at work,
Second being to annoy you. :P

I blame myself for failing to get my priorities straight. I'm quitting work to play MWLL exclusively.
