I finally had more time to play and the game's more stable than ever for me so I managed to get my Hunchies their elites, work on the Jager on my free account to get all basics, and max out my Founder's Jenner (1 efficiency to go). In the past I could not drive any mech pas 100 kph due to rubberbanding, but it's running fine now and my Jenner's doing 138 no problems!

Once state rewind for ballistics and missiles roll in, I'll have no more issues playing light mechs with the lag shield advantage removed. I'll probably need to buy more mechbays soon though. :D

If PGI releases enough items that need GXP and combine their double XP weekends with the conversion promo, it might be a decent boost to revenue if done at the right times. Right now the modules are looking better, but we probably need a lot more options to unlock before the GXP train starts rolling.

Also consider using GXP for other things like merc corps, CW, and others. It's something that free players can earn and can be monetized with conversions and premium and based on how the Coolant module issue was addressed, it appears to be a very acceptable option for the majority. :wacko:

Well, off to grind that last basic efficiency on my Jenner~

Yeah it was a fun weekend. Got to grind like 10 Mechs through Elite, Thanks to a lil premium time added in, I had a mostly pleasant time grinding.

I would actually like to see something that Mech XP could be spent on besides efficiencies, perhaps unlocking special Mech quirks.

Or maybe it could unlock unique variants, camo or colors for that chassis.

I think they need to be careful about how much power you can get from stocking up XP.

I don't think it would be healthy for the game to have things that take months of grinding to make you fully competitive, so these quirks or variants would need to be flavor and not power based.

I would like a toggle switch for XP to appear on mastered mechs. Just makes sense to me that i should be able to turn off, or redirect, XP once a chassis no longer needs it. My founders HBk is on its way to 40k XP. And NO don't tell me i can convert it, i want another option.

Agreed... thanks for the double XP Weekend. Didn't get to play as much as I'd hoped..but the time I was able to play was more useful.. got a bunch of XP on a couple different chassis, and had fun doing it.

Managed to complete the Commmandos, basic an ECM spider, fully elite the jump spider and master the lousy spider (K).

Without 2x this would have been so much more painful.

Yes, thanks for the 2XP weekend. I played quite a lot and had fun. I mastered some mechs, so I'm ready to purchase some new ones.

Just FYI the DXP weekend doesn't end until 10am PST tomorrow.

But yes PGI, thank you. You helped me master my Trebuchet 7M, Catapult K2 and my two remaining Jagers.

Indeed, thanks for Double XP Weekend-- made me realize how pointless the XP grind in MWO "broken beta" really is!

So I'm resolved to play as Lone Wolf/PUG and not pay a thing, until they actually COMPLETE this game... And as for all you Pugstompers out there-- no need to thank me for providing another PUG for you to stomp on!

Mastered mechs so fast this weekend, I drained my cBill account purchasing new ones....maybe that was the point. Regardless, I now have a shine trio of tricked out centurions to go along with my stalkers, ravens, and cats.
