Hey Timmy. If you need tips, training, etc. in how to pilot battlemechs you are welcome to come chat with our group of players on Teamspeak. We can drop with you and provide a pretty chill and legitimate training atmosphere. You would start off as a "cadet" until your training earned you enough skill to pass your Trial of Position. Give me a message if interested!

First...

Once you download and run the first install..

From the tutorial "How to start playing the game" (in the list of community tutorials).

Question: HOW DO I PLAY i downloaded the installer and now I'm at the online page but i can't play

Alright.

Step one, this is not a web-based game and does not require the website to launch. Only to download the installer.
That said, if you ran the installer you should have this little guy in your start menu.

Please click it now and say "yes" to allowing it to run in administrator mode.
Now you'll see this screen.


Step 2. See that pretty blue button with the white text? Says "Patch." Click that. When it's good and ready -- some long time later -- you'll be ready to play.

Skipping an hour or three...

Now you'll see this.


Alright! It's ready to go.

Step 3: Hit Play.

You'll find yourself here after the publisher and developer are done kindly reminding you who brought this game to you; which they will do every time you start the game. Hit space repeatedly to tell them "Yeah, yeah, START THE GAME ALREADY!!!!"


Now enter your email and password.
Once there, you'll find yourself on a page much like this....with a lot fewer mechs.


That's the game reminding you that you're space-poor. But don't worry, for your first 25 matches the game will shove LOTS of c-bills (money) down your throat until you've got roughly enough to get almost any mech you want for your first mech. Click one and then click launch.

Or better, click "Home", "Tutorial" if it doesn't already put you there on its own. Then after, click "Home" and "Testing Grounds," to get familiar with things before really mean people in large walking battlemechs (mechanized walking tanks) shoot you.

And that's...

Afterward, return here for any more help.
This following link is a great resource.

also as a tip, DO NOT spend and c-bills until you have completed your first 25 rounds.

...AND don't spend your GXP on Mech Skills. Only use the GXP for Pilot Skills.

Fairly common newb mistake. Been there done that.
