Because your currently working for the FRR, who is not a clan, but an Innersphere house. Hence, no clan mechs until you sign up for a Clan faction. Of course, then you can't bring your Innersphere mechs. It is why some units choose to stay mercenary and keep switching.

When I'm in que for a world defence, I have four mechs in the drop ship. Why am I limited to so few chassis and why aren't the clan mechs I own shown for options?

you can use any Inner Sphere Mech, you can chose from trial Mechs or any Mech you own. you can only resporn 3 times, hence only 4 Mechs, as you took a contract with the FRR you can only use IS Mechs, if you took a contract with a Clan you would not be able to use IS Mechs.

That's how CW works. Factions mean something there. And there are no infinite respawns. Death carries a price. Every action you take affects the outcome for you and your team. It's just too bad the significance of taking a planet isn't quite there yet.

So on a double xp weekend, do you get triple xp with premium time ((1000 x 2) + 1000)? Or or if you get 1000xp originally do they add half of your original xp with premium time then double the original xp [(1000 x 1.5) + 1000)? I have banked premium time and was wondering if i should activate it to take advantage of this.

I believe it's match XP + Premium XP x 2

If I buy a level 1-4 weapon module then later upgrade it, does the module auto-upgrade?

Yes they do. I bought my MPL module when it was just tier 2, and when I upgraded to tier 5, so did the module installed in my mech.

It looks.like the base amounts of XP are doubled. Normally you get 250 for a win but this weekend you get 500. So premium time would be an extra 250.

Afaik the boni do all stack the same way (multiplier)

Earned XP subtotal x 1,5% (50% Premium Time bonus) x2 (bonus weekend)
is still the same as
Earned XP subtotal x2 (bonus weekend) x 1,5% (50% Premium Time bonus)


and another x2 for first victory of the day works the same and stacks.

Earned XP subtotal x2 (bonus weekend) x2 (daily bonus double xp bonus) x 1,5% (50% Premium Time bonus)
for a whooping 6 times the xp

Yep.

[bad arcade kitty]

how many weapon modules (i mean weapon only, not that mech/weapon which you get for mastering the chassis) does arctic cheetah have? 1 or 2?

I do not think any Mech has less than 2 weapon module slots, as far as modules go the Artic Cheetah without skills unlocked has space for:

1 Mech module, 2 weapon modules, 2 consumable modules

[bad arcade kitty]

the strong clan mechs like timber or crow have only 1 weapon slot; thank you

There are few: LCTs (hilariously since they rarely have multiple weapon types), BJ-3 and AWS-8Q have 3 weapon module slots.

If you use a consumable (air strike, artillery strike, cool shot, UAV) in the training grounds, does it get used up for real?

[Rogue Jedi]

I do not think so, others have tested it and said it does not.

No, consumables are not spend in testing grounds.
The testing ground is like playing offline.
You don't have any sync with the server, so you will not have the same effect for hit registration (host state rewind runs on the server) and you will not waste your consumables.

Have you changed host servers in North America after EU patch? I have monstrous packet loss from these times ...

PS: your support didn't help me so I have to get info myself.

[Rogue Jedi]

sorry Calebos this is players helping other players, it is extremely unlikely you will get a response from PGI in new player help. if you want an official response try sending an email to technical@mwomercs.com or general@mwomercs.com

To the best of my knowledge PGI have made no announcement about changing the servers but I have noticed my ping to the NA servers (from the East of England) has improved by about 5, it has usualy been between 95 and 100 since the EU servers came on line, before that it was usualy between 100 and 105, so it is plausible that the servers may have moved closer to the UK
