The entire game is carrot and stick. That's how they keep people playing. Your idea effectively says "if you chase the carrot long enough without catching it, here have the carrot anyways." Try again. Adding more ways to arrive at catching the carrot, or different methods of catching the carrot...

Sounds like you shouldn't be in charge of business decisions then, good to know.

Until you have all the best gear, then you never play again?

I good touched him and bad touched myself. Was fun though 8)

The biggest difference between a beginner and a vet aside from the knowledge of what mechs look like and what they are packing is that Master'd mechs have better turn/cooling/etc. Usually stock mechs have subpar engines/weapon loadouts as well.

I'm expecting they will do CW along with adding the Mad Dog, Kodiak, Cauldron Born, Fenris and maybe another clan mech like the Gargoyle at the end of this Summer.

Jump Jets seem to be a requirement for the most part now both to mitigate fall damage and just for mobility purposes. Wish I could fit them in my Timber :[

New patch just dropped. They added leg damage from falling, which was sorely needed. You can still do the "slide" down big mountains but the leg damage adds up, whereas before it was not even a factor. Targeting computer seems like an auto-include for the Mk 1, but can't find a good reason to...

I need more Horus leaders.... I have a nearly maxxed Anubis and nearly maxxed Horus. Add me n stuff. I also have a maxxed Godin and Blodin.

Just ran into a butthurt Rogue named Ozzmosys who was clearly losing but was bugging out my turn by somehow targetting me with his attack (weapon) as he ended the turn. As long as his arrow (the red arrow that shows what he is targetting) was on my screen during my turn I could NOT cast any...

Yea the most I've chalked up is ~810 damage. It really just is a matter of positioning 90% of the time, and letting your assaults and lights take the focus fire. I avoid 1on1 fights if possible, but don't shy away from them unless they out-ton me. I'll engage say a Warhawk at 400m and pop out of...

Playing with mates makes this 100% more fun. Loving the Timber Wolf - typical loadout now is a mix of 2 ER LRG lasers, a smattering of medium and some ARTEMIS C-SRM6s. Devastating close range with a long range option while you close the gap. Coupled with 90kph move speed and 75 tons... oh it's...

Steiner? No one is perfect I guess, I remember Katherine being a royal backstabbing ahole in the novels. If you have a TS I'll hop on though, I joined one of the Comstar HPG 500+ people public teamspeaks last night and met 3 other guys and we had some fun. Had a pretty epic assault match where...

IGN is Nidhogg, I love playing this but not motivated if I'm not playing with mates. Throw your names down so we can hit up some TS and rampage some battlefields.

I'm loving the Timber Wolf - has tons of firepower plus mobility. Finding it way easier to command the battlefield while still being relevant. Question though - what purpose does the command / lance command give other than a way to get PUGs to maybe follow orders? There is no command EXP in the...

Broke down and bought the Timber Wolf pack - didn't want to wait 2 months to start playing a mech I enjoy, plus the 30% perm cbill boost and mech hangars seemed nice, and I can spend my 20,000MC on premium time or something. It gets injected tonight, rah - how can I friend you guys, I think...

Yea, I've learned most of that through trial and error - I haven't much found a good counter to light mechs harassing me in-range, but I'm a support mech so that's not my forte really. I'm torn between saving Cbills and unlocking an XL engine so I can re-equip jump jets or just get a bit more...

Well I played my 25 matches as a cadet and finally had 3 games where I pulled a positive KD:A. Definitely an interesting learning curve. I finally figured out my targetting problem (being in 3rd person screws up your mouse aiming tremendously - and auto-locks onto various parts of a mech. 1st...

I'll give it a go - I mean I literally jump half a inch when I'm moving my mouse around - and I'm running everything at MAX (but capable of playing it of course.) but I still can't figure out why it jumps so much. I'll throw my mouse sensitivity down and see if that helps.

They should have / or will release IS upgraded weaponry/equipment when the Clans officially launch for C-Bills. At least that is what I would do, keeps the playing field even, and gives people a chance to throw away all their old weaponry and buy new stuff! (woo?) Btw is it my mouse...

Well I was speaking from the books, the actual tabletop and what not, is not my arena. The fact that they lost at Tukkayid still baffles me. Consensus is to just collect C-bills till Clan mechs come out for C-bills?

Well that falls in line with how the Clans were originally introduced into the Battletech lore. Superior tech across the board.

I plan on just saving my MC till October when they release the Timber Wolf for MC. Til then though, should I just stockpile c-bills, buy modules, what is a good starting route?

I was a founder for this game but never played it past the beta because it was so buggy. Looks like Clan mechs are in now (woo) but you gotta shell $50 to play em? F that ;{ I do however have 20,000 MC from being a founder, what should I drop it on if I'm just starting out?

Apparently a bot program?

Yea but even Nimrod could be destroyed, it was just mostly futile since he could rebuild himself.

If you need help or want to run some PvP/STFs just add me @Fairchilde

Yes, just expected more from them. I mean, Bobby can be technically immortal and Storm went out like a punk. It's like they forgot their (apparent) years of fighting know-it-all. In tandem they could have made it rain then literally frozen the entire area in a block of solid ice. Storm could...

Loved the movie - my wife asked why Blink couldn't just portal the sentinels into space or rocks. She became my fav when I picked up my first issue of Xmen - Alpha. Sentinels were badass - although it was sad to see Omega level mutants not make an appearance (even though Bobby was there, he was...

I played this back during the beta stresstests. I come back to it off and on when Diablo/whatever the fotm game bores me. I love STO for that. @Fairchilde if anyone ever needs help with STFs or wants to PvP.

Uh, dog isn't dead. Grief-striken Ward shooting in the air instead of the dog. The logical conclusion is that he does a 180 and whips out his sniper rifle to do the dog? Yea right. Garrett had a rifle of his own in the car to see if Ward went through with it. Obviously noted that he didn't. Sets...

I did the ACT5 thing for a night since I was working late and couldn't play. Got about 15 shitty legendaries and my 5th wailing host. 12 Paragon levels or so (298->310). I got an error 3007 with 4 legendaries on the ground on my screen when I got home. Super sad on that one. Fixed now too.

I got in as well.
