Hello again... I'm back! Actually, I never left but whatever. Having just today unlocked my first set of Elite I thought I'd post again. Sorry for starting another this is how it is to be a Newb thread today.

Mechs Purchased so far: SDR-5D, SDR-5D, DRG-5N, TBT-5N, TBT-5J, TBT-7M
Mechs I still Own: TBT-5J, TBT-7M
Elite unlock on the TBTs!

1) I want to strangle the designer of UI 1.0 for many reasons. All of which have been posted at one time or another by about 5000 different people previously.

2) I have to keep reminding myself the game is still in Beta

3) Lack of actual penalties for failing at Heat Management makes me want to take a day trip to Canada for some serious Canuck Game Designer beat down :D OK it isn't management if failing to maintain control doesn't result in godawful penalties!

4) Whoever thought it would be a nice idea to include the TBT-5N in the game is in fact an evil b@stard! Having to grind that stupid thing through Basic nearly made me quit. Seriously, nearly made me quit. No Joke! Because I'm stubborn I spent 4 days in it unmodified as if to prove the point that it is woefully inadequate on the MWO Battlefield. Hell it was woefully inadequate on the TT Battlefield with the only useful purpose being BVSink. I do hope many extra Assault mechs ended up on my team because I brought that total suck, bullet magnet, garbage! 6 days of hell in that chassis. Whoever you are who thought it would be nice to have in game I hope the rest of the Dev Team will do all us TBT pilots a favor and duct tape your a$$ to the seat and make you play that thing for 2 hrs a day for a week. See how much you like it!

5) I have developed a special place in my heart for HGN poptarts, 6PPC Stalkers, and the 4ERPPC Cataphract. The poptarts don't worry me so much really... OH HAI LEWK @ ME all up here like a big fat bottle rocket breaking cover and becoming the instant focus of so many eyes. How pretty! PEW PEW PEW! HGN lands again leg falls off. However you PPC toting high alpha zombies... yeah... I really really really hate you guys. You have any idea how much you made these last two weeks suck? Da de dah dah dah... whups broke cover... ZAP BOOM... I'm dead! Having never even seen what shot me.

6) To above mentioned Stalkers and Cataphracts... yeah I have learned your ways. You might still skull screw me in a blind alley in River City but I'm on to you now!

7) To Soy, Koniving, Lordred, Koreanease, and many many more... thanks you have made these last two weeks entertaining and educational.

Special Moments during the last 2 weeks (some of them repeated more than once)


To the Commando pilot who flung himself off the edge of one of the Craters in Tourmaline at 100kph yesterday while trying to do that circle pew pew stunt. I LOLed so hard! My only regret is that the Devs haven't invented double back flips yet. Watch your step and all that ;) Seriously dude you caught some crazy air but the faceplant at the end was just epic!

Muhahahah! I have snuck around the entire enemy army... all I have to do now is jump over this ridge and I can shoot them all in the back! YARROOOHHHSHEEEEEET they are in fact all over on the other side of the ridge. Facing me!

No arms TBT... come closer and I will bite you!

Muhahahah! I have snuck up behind them! They have no idea I am here! AMS starts going off... curious the Atlas turns around... FADE TO BLACK!

To the many many many Assault pilots who have tried to shoot me while I was up at the radio tower in Alpine. Those numbers to the right of the cross hairs are range. I'm almost 2 miles away. Not even you can hit me that far away. To be fair though I stood still and amused myself while you tried until one of your brighter team mates on TS pointed out just how far away I happened to be. GJ guys!

You have two Spider-5Ds???

I thought the Trebuchet-3C and the two jumpers (7M+5J) were the optimal buckets. Of course, if you needed some ballistic love, the 7K would be alright.

Anyways... congrats?
