Nice... thats a really good start! but also this tool does not show the post I am looking for... (must have been 2014 or so). Is there a possibility to see the complete timeline?

If you search by your user, and limit the date from Jan 1st 2014 to Jan 1st 2015, you should be able to find what you are looking for:

Well wouldn't you know it .. I have a question
I am a little confused .. in the last 'Lootbag Event' (the trick and treat one) I thought you can redeem the rewards (up to) 2 weeks after the event .. what seems to be correct when it comes to the 'Premium Time' and such rewards .. but I still had @ 70 lootbags that I thought of cashing in at the same time and they are locked now and it says 'Event is over can not be redeemed anymore' .. that is too bad !! seems I missed out on quite a few goodies.
So here is the question .. do the 'Lootbags' close the day the event ends?

The next time read the event stipulations:

"The Loot Bags will disappear on Nov 14th 4:00:00 PM (PST) / Nov 15th 12:00:00 AM (UTC)! Redeem your eligible matches on the event page before that deadline or they will be forfeit!"

It seems to me that you missed the deadline by approximately 8 hours and 22 minutes.

[Ulrich von Helfenstein]

Ahhhh I missed it by a few hours !!!! serves me right ... AAAAAHHHHRRRGGG !



Thanks Martian.


Edit: .. actually by about 2 hours .. sigh .. story of my life .. a day late a Dollar shy ...
Edit2: .. Ohh I didn't see the 8h 22m line .. no that was actually yesterday when I checked .. I figured I wait until Sunday before I open the rest of them ... ah poo it is what it is .. next time I know better!

Do not be so sad.Those Loot bags had some MCs in them, but nothing unique.

Try to get that Cauldron-Born. It is a solid 'Mech that can serve you well.

Is that an event too ? I thought the Ebon Jag is on right now .. and I almost have that one in the bag

Edit: .. and yes the MCs is what I am regretting have missed out on .. that is what buys me patterns and colors ..

Cauldron-Born is the Inner Sphere code designation for the Ebon Jaguar.

Well, 150 loot bags netted me 560

So if you did not open 70 loot bags, you lost approximately 260

A cheap camo pattern costs 750 , more expensive patterns cost 1 250 and 1500 . Ditto for colours: Cheap colour costs 500 , better ones 1 000 .

So those 260 does not mean much.

Ohh I see .. I just knew it under the Cauldron-Born name .. learned something new!

... and yes it would not not have been enough on it's own .. but it would have made the balance look a bit friendlier .. but, whats done is done and no need crying about spilled milk .. as I said , next time I know better!!

.. for that matter .. I used some MC that I purchased and had saved up to buy the pattern, color and decals I needed (wanted) ... and of course that MDD-RV that i had my eye on ... so actually I don't need them at the moment .. but it is nice to see a positive balance on the MC account ..

Of course, you are right.

Is there a possibility to "double map" keys? I would like to use the same key for "togglecockpit light" and "toggle bolt-ion" so I can use the cockpit light as indicator wether the bolton (glowing eyes) is active or not.

Yes I can do it with a keyboard marco, No, I'd rather do it ingame.

Thanks a lot!

[Aidan Crenshaw]

you should be able to map both manually in the keymaps.xml in your profile folder

Does anyone know if there is a list of "toggleable cockpititems" somewhere?

I can not remember seeing such list.

If I drop an arty or air strike and take cover (so no LOS), how do I see if an enemy was damaged?

I dont get it, people in videos are making comments that they did damage doing just like that...

[Aidan Crenshaw]

If your strike hit's an enemy, your reticule will flash red as if you had landed a shot. The more flashes, the more hits on your strike, the more damage it does.

You can actually view the old names vs the MWO names here:
https://mwomercs.com/clans
https://mwomercs.com/wavetwo
https://mwomercs.com/wavethree

eg:
Masakari = Warhawk
Daishi = Dire Wolf
Black Hawk = Nova
Loki = Hellbringer
Cauldron-Born = Ebon Jaguar
And more...

You have to watch your reticule.

Normal reticule:



Reticule when your air strike damages enemy 'Mechs:


Do not worry, this was not tested on animals. It was tested on human players.

MadDog -> Vulture
Adder -> Puma .. yup .. complicated

Thanks for the links!

On a side note ... thanks to the 'Mechmas' event I now have plenty of mechbays to explore chassis I had never previously considered .. like the BloodAsp .. actually quite fun that one
... it is all so much fun and thank you PGI for giving us this platform!!
