I also think that a lot of Founders bought in, but didn't play. I know my brother has a Founder's Jenner that's been sitting and collecting dust - he wanted to wait until a lot of the "beta"ness settled down.

Probably because the "Founder" that posted it is a new player that bought the account of off an actual Founder. I wager this happens a lot, might explain the painful skill disparity I've seen with Founders (either really good or outstandingly bad with almost no in between).

Isn't that against the TOS somewhere? XD

The Urbanmech... but it's so OP PGI refuses to even release it.

It is in every online game, doesn't stop people from doing it.

Makes sense.

And it explains the huge skill disparity between some founders.

[Iacov]

you think skill behaves linear to time, since starting playing this game?

then i'd have to be a massively better pilot than i'm right now :/

[Turist0AT]

God, there are ppl like you in every game OP. Want to get their hands on the most OP thing and get it nerft for overusing.
I know exactly what you want, but i aint telling.

Ppl like you brought ghost heat upon us, because of 6PPC Stalker spam.
Speaking of which, get the 6PPC Stalker.

I've seen Founders that fire SRMs at over 400 meters. That's not even about skill, that's a monumental ignorance concerning basic game play mechanics.

This is the best.

The command console gives you command at the start of the match to have your teammates go where you want them to. Also, the Machine Guns will constantly rock your opponent while the flamers blind them. Have fun with pwning.

Forgot. The Beagle Active Probe is to target stuff further so you can give commands with the command console and to find mechs hiding from you shut down.

I like assault mechs. What's some cookie cutter builds?

Add jump jets if you want.

This was my first Mech and I regret nothing. I love it and even play it today. Such a wonderful mech. Unfortunately I hate LRMs so i never mastered it.
CPLT-K2

Get a C1 and play it as a JJing energy boat: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...d13d8fdbd2a92a0

Get a Jester for more of JJing energy boats. Or if you don't want to spend money, get an A1 and load it with Streaks or SRMs.

Hating LRMs is a pretty bad excuse to play your favorite mech at half of it's potential.

Sadly, being a Founder is just like being an Overlord, it means that the person is capable and willing to spend real money on digital goods. Skill doesn't play any part in it.

But the Founders payed for closed Beta access. Theoretically some that's been playing, even infrequently, for 2 years should at least know a tiny something about weapon ranges.

Because it's absolutely impossible that someone would ever press the wrong button in the heat of a match.

More importantly, it's quite obvious that all Founder's did nothing but play this game since their purchase. Obviously we should all have mastered it by now.

Multiple times? When not being fired upon? Look, I like to spectate until the match is done, I'm guessing you frequently DC after getting killed, otherwise you'd see more of this.

Actually, I stay through the entire match as well, and I see plenty of mistakes. Including plenty from Overlords, as well as Overlords with Legendary badges. (Legendary Badge, driving a Battlemaster prior to the cbill release).

I just don't assume the worst in people when they make one.

When they are a Founder making complete noob mistakes, there are not a lot of different logical conclusions.

I feel you brother. I wouldn't call myself bad, per se, but I sure as hell ain't the cream of the crop. I know why that is, though: I refuse to min/max metabuild my mechs and use whatever the hell I want. My pride and honour mean I will never be as good as a min/maxer in his AC40 cannons. BLR-1g with 6ML, a LPL and LB10X and stock everything else is my current best build, used to be the stock death snail. I think I'm defective.

I work on the theory that as long as my defect is keeping things fun, I'm okay with it. I use a joystick. I run Locusts. I'm keeping all of my Phoenix mechs as 'super-stock'. I think that the primary weapons on a Catapult K2 are PPCs.

So yeah, defective.
