Which is why I'll never see a Devastator !!

Well there is a part of me that *theorices** about PGI holding the 2x Big Ballistics mechs until they finally set up the max tonnage per lance and premade specially the ones they describe in ATD 45

This way they can ensure there is no more than 3-4 Assaults tops per side so there is less Asault boating in game.

Next hero mech going to be an assault mech? Curious, isn't it ? Why not a light mech ? it has been ages since we don't see a light hero and next month we'll be getting the Locust.

Lights - 1 Hero mech
Mediums - 3 Hero mechs
Heavies - 5 Hero mechs
Assaults - 4 Hero mechs

Ironically... the weight classes that have the most Hero mechs are the one's wich are the most expensive.

Nobody likes light mechs, at least nobody who spends real $$ on this game.

Actually I think we will see it. There was an official poll a few months ago asking which 100 assault mech would you most want to see in the game and the Devastator won by a massive margin.

I'm thinking this is Danielle's Mech!



I've been asking for this Variant since last year, I'm glad it might be finally out!

Probably it's Danielle mech.

She was the captain of Wolf's dragoons Beta regiment a well know hardened elite unit, that even in the worst situations they always stood his ground and fought back viciously causing almost as much dmg to their enemies as they withstood.

Eh it reminds me of a Boar when it gets cornered so somewhat fitting.

I feel PGI it's hesitant to release a big ballistic Assault specially when it means a large part of the Tryhards will go for the 2x Ac 20 without drawbacks mech.

Still i'm curious for the exact ballistic and missile hardpoints in the torsos but y expect 1of each total

Just to raise an important point about the Devastator.

Due to the ballistic hardpoints being in the arms, there is no way that AC/20s will fit on a Devastator, since the arms are only missing hand actuators.

Wow I think I have lost all faith now.

Things must be doing really bad if you are playing your trump card the hero atlas already.

The vocal community is not in a very good place right now and and the real reviews are starting to roll in (I have been following gametrailers for years a 6.0 is not good) and you choose right now to bring out the most expensive in USD hero mech possible.

[XX Sulla XX]

I hope this one takes a 400 engine. Reading about it it says "100-ton scout" is how he played it. I would like to have an atlas that went say 75 or so

Well, I was kinda wrong in a different post... where this was the last assault hero mech for the year.... how about the Battlemaster hero in November or December?

Buy more please?

At least you'll be virtually guaranteed there will be one in the New Years when the regular Battlemaster is on the schedule.

I very rarely say anything as to what is going on in this game because i love this game

....with that being said...

instead of giving us another IS 100t mech ( ... oh IDK, the Fafnir maybe) they hero up a founders mech......

..... still going to buy it (when it goes on sale)...

just kinda gets me how greedy PGI is getting

Just sayin...

its hurting them in the reviews too. people see a single mech in a F2P game costing almost 40 dollars. They're going to have something to say about it.

[Otto Cannon]

I imagine they've been waiting for the gauss and ppc meta to end before they dared release this mech.

Most of my matches today were stomps in heavy mechs.
I like light mechs and i've spent real money in this game. Light mechs are the cheapest so it would be nice to be able to have good fun with a 30% cbills boost.

[Harmatia]

Greed? Really? What do you want, an open source platform where no one gets paid or a sweat shop worker who can barely buy rice with pay cheque? You ******* people and your greed ******** all the time. Grow up and live in the real world WHERE THINGS COST MONEY.

Its too bad that their money model is screwing over their own game the bigger the mech the more the $$

See my thread from a while back here http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__2645218

and this new thread from someone else here http://mwomercs.com/...assaultheavies/


Ignoring all the other problems and complaints (as they are not for this thread) it is simple to see the greed direction that PGI has taken and it is hurting their own game. The locust/flea may be a joke depending on the scaling and everything new and shiny is has come out lately has been on the fatter end of the scale.

might want this argument to be accurate before pinning your hope on it.

OK, let's see, $200 bucks, oh and btw, it's a BETA (ending the argument that "if you can spend real money it's not a bETA)
(more on the model here: http://www.rockpaper...ks-neverwinter/)
or the American M60 in WOT, as 22,500 gold being about 95 USD.

FFS, will we ever have a hero mech release where people don't whine about it? I think the "vocal community" has a very over-inflated sense of self importance.

Here's a newsflash: NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU AND YOUR SNIVELING!!

[Ahja]

And the name of the Mech was what? "Ghost Heat" Oh cool name.

I have spent a lot of money on this game and I love light mechs. I ever own the Death Knell. Hard mech to use too. I would love for more hero lights and would spend money on them. If and when I decide to spend money on this game again. I am waiting to see new game modes before I spend any more money. I would also get this new Hero mech. If there was more to this game, then the same two modes over and over again.

Possibly because there's no light mechs to spend real money in this game? Dumbass.
