Edit: Logged out/in and resolved issue. All is well.

PGI did something baller, MC bought

[Draal Kaan]

Thanks PGI...

1. I don't have any Cents yet. So: Yay!
2.This i what i call a reward! I gotta say that it might be a bit easy to get... Maybe 10 matches would have been ok.

Great idea!
Well played, i hope the community will take a break on flaming (although i agree there are still important issues with this game.

[John MatriX82]

To those that say "a bit generous", War Thunder puts up similar initiatives pretty often, where completing a few tasks grants you a Premium plane simply by playing the game. During Christmas time they ran an event that granted not one but two premium planes.

So.. similar ideas are those who give out some hope and incentive to play this game. I never thought that PGI could reach similar ideas, unless that we're talking of a (C) mech instead of an Hero. But in future more complex achievements could slip into their minds so that they will give away also hero mechs, hopefully not in a distant future..

[DeathofSelf]

does anyone know how to sell mechs, that would be super useful right now, I know I know, If I can't figure this out with UI 2.0 I probably super ******** cause it is sooooo ******* intuitive.

[daehawk]

LOL no idea. Since the new mechlab Im having a hell of a time figuring what slots a mech has or how to ad some stuff or remove others then save lol. Im a confuseredly person it seems

First 50% on Flame, and now a free champion mech?!
This is madness! I love you pgi <3 <3 <3

[GalaxyBluestar]

for those worrying about the generosity i think pgi can spare a mech bay and a mech when there are currently 140 mechs in game.

8 of which are pack only mechs but still i think giving one away isn't going to break pgi, even if they did it once a month, and we have many more mechs coming.

the mechbays yeah they're only as good as the mechs that fill them so it's an incentive to keep buying and playing the game to give one away every so often.

it can only lead to being a more attractive game.

Home > Inventory
You don't sell anything in the mech bay anymore.

[Sh4nk0h0l1c]

Awesome!!!

I already own that one, but it doesn't matter!

Definetly achieving this with my Cent !!

Thanks PGI, nice move!

Hrm, 5 wins after a day of horror and slaughter (dear gods, I'm rusty). No mech, no bay. Logging in and out didn't fix it.

[Cervantes88]

Can you sell it or is it stuck in the bay like the Phoenix mechs ?

[T3N5H1]

By far, this is now a really community friendly step, after the crap who was done since going to open beta.

All events PGI have done are newb friendly

The cynic in me, is telling me, the community now knows the least popular Medium.

But reguardless, this really is a challenge worth doing

*Currently the least popular Medium - well yes maybe, all it takes is a SRM fix to bring it back to near the top of the Medium pile.

Like you say though, a worthwhile challenge, great for newbies. A great step up from PGI.

[Shadow Magnet]

Thanks alot, PGI! Now I am highly tempted to get 2 more Cents and elite them. A friend is playing the CN-9D with great success (the only Cent that allows a really big engine = Cent on speed).

Looking forward for more challenges, like: 3 wins in a row with 1 kill or more in each game.

[w0rm]

Thx PGI

It's like... you should be dead, but you're not.

The CT is kinda larger after the hitbox change however. Most classic Cent-A builds (try mechspecs for ideas) still work well.

Easiest fix over the &quot;stock&quot; Cent-A Champion build is to remove the pulse lasers and sub in regular lasers. It'll allow you to have better heat sustainability and more armor and the opportunity to add BAP, so that ECM won't hurt the ASRM4s it comes with (as much).

I hate to break it to you but ECM has no effect whatsoever on ASRMx, artemis gives SRMs a tighter spread...and thats it. ECM prevents Streak SRMs to lock targets.

[MarineTech]

Thanks PGI.

I hocked it for beer money.

Seriously though, I'm planning on switching over to Shadowhawks once I finish mastering my Jagers. Selling off the Cent gave me enough dosh to buy my first hawk and outfit it the way I want.

[CrazyTasty]

Thanks, this is pretty cool even for a newer player.
