The Great Grind is over.

Just got the Master Module Slot Proficiency for the Hero Awesome.

56 mechs sitting in mechbays.

Each one has been skilled up to and including the Master Module Slot proficiency.

I have all the pilot modules unlocked, and 4 each of most.

Every mech has its own engine.

So my question is:

WHAT DO I DO NOW?


I ask this, simply because I know there should be players out there who have hit this same situation (Tech support was very familiar with the 32 mech master module bug). Do I just save up for the Clans, play a minimal amount to keep skills up?

I like to keep going forward, so I'd like some in game goals.

Getting all the proficiencies and owning all the mechs before my Founder's premium time ran out was my own personal goal. It started as lights and mediums, then I added Dragons, then heavies, and finally bit the bullet and started on assaults. I got carried away.

For those who think there is little hope. Average latency was 280ms, and it was 99% PUGged.

To all those who have set in game goals, my best wishes that you achieve them.

So, ideas?

You do what Raoh did.

You should probably ascend to a higher plane of mechwarrior.

Congratulations on the achievement, I don't think I'm even a quarter of the way there yet. I don't have that kind of time to sink into this game ;D

[Mazzyplz]

spend all Cbills by selling and buying stuff over again, sell all chassis and start grind to buy them all one by one

I think you should take a break for a few months, otherwise you will burnout. Come back when Community Warfare is released, which will give a constant reason to play the game, rather than buying/mastering things. There will also be couple of mechs released by then.

Well. You're obviously a hardcore fanboy... Why not branch out?
Start a fan site?
Make some videos showing newbies WTF to do?
Start a competing podcast to NGNG that comes out more than once a month and maybe has some real info every time too?
Get a job/life/girlfriend/other hobby//go to school/watch a sunset/etc (sorry, I had to)?

TL;DR: The game has enough grind; don't **** it up for the rest of us who haven't/won't play 16 hours a day every day til death do us part (oh, and I have before, this game is just nowhere near good enough currently for that kind of fanatical dedication).

Masters don't teach or slow down. They conquer.

Get up, stretch, shower, change the dressings covering the bedsores on your ***, apply some Lysol to your computer chair and keyboard, do a load of laundry, head to the store to pick up some more mountain dew and hotpockets...

[Broceratops]

damn thats crazy. i only have 3 of each chassis moduled out and I think I've played almost 4,000 games

how many games did you play

[Kristov Kerensky]

I've done the same with everything but the Hero Mechs, I have the Yen Lo but not the others, just don't like most of em and won't spend real money on something I won't use. I just keep playing, building up cbills and gxp, finding what Mechs I'm most comfortable in and which ones I have the most fun in(NOT always the same thing).

I'll grab the Trenchbucket when it's added and Master that, then whatever they add after that and so on. I just love getting in a Mech and going out and trying to blow up other Mechs, I don't NEED a reason for doing that.

If you need a reason to do that..you are probably playing the wrong game.

Yeah. You're likely right. MWO came along as my last job fell apart. I've never been a social person, but always been a Battletech fan. Odd thing is the last game I bought before this was the Mechwarrior 3 Gold Collection (still have the t-shirt).

Fan site? Too many out there, and I'm opinionated enough.
Tutorial videos? No thanks. I actually kind of suck, and my builds are for the current high latency lagshoot.
Getting a life sounds kind of nice. asn't work well in the past, but try, try again.

Just so you know, my playing was going to drop drastically anyway (too cheap to pay for premium time). I just wanted to know if there was some little in game thing to work on.

Yes, I know the game has enough grind, probably more than many of you, and it was never 16 hours a day.

hehe, you really need to ask!. 1 million years dungeon-no trial...

That's actually one thing I did make sure I did. Taking regular smoke breaks (I only smoke outside) and walks. Shower twice a day. The laundry was done too. Never got the bed sores. Drink Mountain due occasionally, but do far more Water, Green Tea and Coffee.

What's a hotpocket? (doing a little shop later anyway, mile walk each way, good exercise).

[Broceratops]

but really voidsinger, this is a good thing. you are free. i'm just playing my favorite mechs now and storing up that GXP so i can skip some of the crappier variants that I know is coming.

[Soulscour]

You play to much.

[Joe Kid]

Build a Raven 3L without ECM and only kill other 3L's you find.
I thought mastery of the Spider was impossible with the 4 MG spider being crap.

Agreed.

As I said, first game in ten years.

I guess I hate having things undone. Getting that Master Module Slot means an end to the mech, so move on.

I'll cut back. I'll pilot a Spider (it's a fun mech).

Guess I was practicing for my Doctor Who Marathon....50 years worth.
