Is "1.21 gigawatts" a back to the future reference?

Anyway, where's my MC sale.... :|

I'm also looking at those heroes. I like the idea of a Jagermech, but every time I shoot at one, they seem mighty squishy. Same can be said for the Cataphract for that matter. I wonder if those are just bad builds or if they really are very squishy mechs...


Jags are one of best chassis in the game, IMO.

They're very agile and can pack a metric sh*t ton of firepower. But, yeah...they usually have to run XLs to take advantage of that, which makes them rather squishy with their larger sides. I guess it just depends on your play style.

sorry to burst your bubble but catalytic pertain to catalyst wich is an agent who *accelerates* a reaction ...

It's chemistry not car terminology

A Catalytic Converter is actually a car part, but what I think he missed is that they used it as a play on words. The Cataphract hero mech is on sale and they have a sale on EXP to GXP conversions.

A terrible pun though.

Good sale, but the guy who they pay to name these things should be fired in favor of another programmer.

I got impatient and bought a FB last week...

A second pair of fuzzy-dice though, would be a good call :]

Gee... so much UAC5 dakka, and two good platforms to do it with (one of the being exceptional).

It never ceases to amaze how "balance changes" are actually "selling points" for future sales.

Kind of tempted to get a Firebrand. I have a feeling it's as close to the Rifleman as I'll get to in MWO!

Damn what a bad timing....

Ouch! Lesson learned though. Never buy anything on sale day until they announce the sale. :D

If it makes you feel any better, I know someone that spent all their MC converting XP this week. Then they announced the conversion sale. I received a "Damn you for being right" message this morning.

Too bad we are always on the same team. Might have to sacrifice a teammate to the AC gods....

I love how Hero mechs tend to come up on sale when a meta that can abuse them is so rife... UAC boats, the both of them with maybe PPC's or LL on the Firebrand.

I'll just convert more of my Dragon Slayer EXP then with the spare MC, hoping that new modules will come out that are... more unique.

It's ok. I bought the Firebrand when it came out, so I got the Ilya on sale to make up for that. ;D Even though it's so ugly, it's starting to grow on me.

That's what I've been doing, I always convert a {Scrap} load of Mech exp to GXP during the double conversion sales. I like to keep a nice hefty pool of GXP available for when new modules do come out. If I buy too much GXP, I just use a little bit to unlock Basic on some mechs.
