Actually, when Matt Newman said it on December 3rd, he was correct.

I just chose to change the status quo.

Well, Vegemite is currently $AUS7 for a 600 gram jar. I just need the conversion rate of Australian Dollars to C-Bills to find out.

Not really a feat, but pig-headed stubborness to be decent at something in this game (I love Battletech). My ping sucked, so that left endurance tasks.

My advice if you want money. Avoid the Hero Mechs. They are way too expensive. Get as much premium time as you think this game will hold your interest for (or place your bets on when it will collapse). 50%boost beats the 30% boost of a hero. That, and the 50% XP boost is going to be much needed.

Okay, I just cracked a billion C-bills.

Anybody else out there done this?



I've never broken over 40 million (my highest so far)....and always seem to hover around 15-20 million because I'm a habitual module and XL engine buyer.

But congrats!

21,600 matches x 8 minutes = 172,800 minutes in MWO

172,800 minutes = 2,880 hours.

2,880 hours = 120 days.

120 days of playing MWO.














wow

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.

Did this person actually mean to say he thought you were not good at this game? startling really. I've played with you plenty Void and I would call you a good hand at the game, bad karma to this person much bad karma lol. Haters gonna hate say I.

Wow A C-billionaire, I know plenty of guys with 200 million or so in the bank, but that is just incredible, way to make us in the 30-40 million range feel slightly...less..

Congrats, well done <S>
(now if you can get to two Billion I will buy you lunch!)

Yeah, a little bit of a backhander.

Maybe the C-bills have changed me a little.

Then again, maybe the issue is more of a case being that the game hasn't, in spite of many deadlines coming and going.

I wonder if they'll make Achievements retroactive?

Probably this on his dashboard?

The goal is whatever you want it to be.

If your goal is to find the chassis you sync with, and have excellent gameplay in it, then that's fantastic.

I set my own goals and achieved them.

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.
