Who cares what someone elses goal is.

What I do know is that the fact someone can get to 1 billion cbills means there arnt enough money sinks.

Or perhaps it just means that the "someone" in question has way too much time on their hands, instead of meaning that we have to nerf the income of everybody who doesn't have spacebucks up to their eyeballs. Balancing the economy around a few people who play the game too much just ruins the experience for everyone other than the "someones" in question.

I'm not anywhere close to that. I loose all my C-Bills betting on Solaris matches. Who would have thought a Locust 1V named "gimpy" would have been a sucker bet .

Oh well, There is always that huge investment I made in the company that makes Flamers. I have been told they are all the rage on the battlefield.

Quite a lot less.
You weren't around in a Commando during the Artemis Apocalypse at the start of Open Beta? Life expectancy, 30 seconds.
Then there was the Streak Cat shuffle.
We can add the Splatcat lightfest, where splash damage made anything with 3 SRMs totally lethal.
When I pug, I rotate my mechs, so average game time is less than 4 minutes. Most of my games were clocked in the first 4-5 months of OB.

I think 8 minutes per game on average isn't far from the mark, especially if you include the time in-between the matches, like the wait time for matchmaker, time spent in mechlab, or idling while you wait for team mates to prep and ready.

And even if I cut my original estimate in HALF, that still 60 days. That's two solid months in a chair playing MWO non-stop.

Well 1 billion is extreme. But I know plenty of people who play normal amounts of time and have 200m cbills or more banked up. Theres just NOTHING to spend them on.

June should fix that with the Clanz.


(And, CW, when it *eventually* comes around, is highly likely to have special manufacturer equipment. They will probably cost a bit more than normal weapons).

Congrats Void!

I have almost 100Mil, I haven't bought that many mechs because I didn't want to buy all those mech bays. But 100 Mil without premium time.

I may or may not get the special manufacturer equipment. I already have deprioritised Weapon Modules. If I don't have much to get I may get a few, but I love my information modules too much (information is power).

As for the Clans. Only plan on getting a few right now. See how I feel about putting a little money into mech bays then, or selling off a few mechs. I love the Stormcrow and Mad Dog, but the rest have little appeal to me (Might add in the Mist Lynx and the Viper to mechs I like).

As for futzing after you die or between matches, time to browse, play Freecell, make coffee, have a smoke. Not all time is at a chair. In fact always ensure at least 10 minutes of every hour is away from the computer, sustained usage is bad for you.

[GRiPSViGiL]

Very impressive. I am probably on pace for that if the game stayed as it is now for the same length of time it did for you.

Hopefully we get something to spend it on.

Okay, I just cracked a billion C-bills.

Anybody else out there done this?

Have all mechs except the Oxide (I kind of stopped buying mechs due to postgame reload time).

All mechs are at Master (with 75 000XP on top for skill tree updates).

Have I beaten the game?

All this tells me and sorry for being rude but that you dont have a life, I seriously doubt you have a girl friend/married, own a house, or have a respectable career that pays well and can retire to, which I do so I will never have anymore cbills than I do now which is just above 14 million but then I uninstalled the game other day, it's such a waste of my time, there is no reason for me to grind for anything, there is no story no cw, so really it's just a mindless mech shootout where people mostly just use whatever is the most easy to use weapons like ac20 which I got sick of and finally just had enough.

Have a nice day.

Uninstalled but still hanging in the forums? Talk about not having a life...

[T3ac0w]

Impressive, Good Job, or Gz
I have all Mechs on master and 71 of them in my Garage but nowhere near your 1 Billion C-Bill mark.

You including the airline ticket over there?

If you are, 2 billion here I come!

AH!! um, well that may be a bit out of my range, perhaps if I can get to a billion I can arrange for an atmospheric drop ship and take care of it. But the offer stands lol if you get to 2 billion look me up and I will buy you lunch lol (pretty meager in comparison to the achievement) if that means via pay pal or a gift card it shall be done lol, you would deserve lunch.

I think you should examine your life and ponder why you made ignorant assumptions against somebody you don't know who plays a game you admit to no longer playing

Have a wonderful day!

Well, I've stopped counting how many times you've uninstalled. It seems to happen every patch.

Also, you could try being less of a {Richard Cameron}.

Ah awesome, you outed yourself! I was wondering who it was...

[Hexenhammer]

Awesome work Voidsinger regardless of what others said.


And maybe PGI will make a Voidsinger achievement for banking 1,000,000,000 CBills.
