I'll give you one piece of advice right now, don't EVER try to chase these damnable events. It will sap the joy out of your playing experience..oh and there is no such thing as kill stealing in mwo. There is only team win or team lose. You only think for your team's chances of winning.

yep it will suck the joy of playing right out of you. i made that mistake last night. busy weekend with RW stuff and did not get to play till 10pm sunday. well the assists went bang done. but the kills eluded me. i have a very crazy play style. i don't keep shooting at a mech once it is red all over if 2 or 3 other mechs are firing at and there are other priority targets in range. just me. all i care about is they go down regardless who gets the kill. unless it is a stormcrow then i get in it's face till dead dead dead, sorry too many locusts shot out from under me by stormcrows with streaks. ah hm well back to the kills. i got to were i wanted the shiny 24thing as it was shiny and precious to me, so i did what it took to get kills and got killed a lot and lost a lot and got mad a lot, but still no kills. i even almost typed "KILL STEALER" at a light that came under the hpg were i was 1 on 1 fighting a cn9ah in my cn9ah. i had just taken the right arm off of him and was waiting for the cool down cycle to finish him off when this spider runs up and with 1 alpha kills him. i start to type "KILL STE" and it hits me, dough, so i backspace and type what i would normally type which was "thx". took the dog for a walk. sat back down and played my normal game, got into my groove and did not even realize i got the "24th kill" till just now when i took a look this afternoon.
now the 24thing is just another thingy in my inventory to remind me that i play my way for fun. that's it. nothing more. when it stops being fun i will have to hang that 24thingy in the cockpit to remind of this....

Depends on how dedicated you are to playing for free.

If you are playing without paying, then an extra mechbay is near invaluable.

dedicated on playing for free?

1250 MC are not even 7 dollars.
thats 4 mech bays. 8 when you time it right and get them for half price.

i had some serious crap times behind but everyone has 7 dollars.

Surprisingly.
Yes.

I do not disagree on the price of mechbays (I own over 200 of them!) but if you ARE going to play for free...

Spoiler

Or if, like me, are a little ocd about the value of your purchases (in a weird way) and thus only buy the 100$ packages, you cannot always afford to get more

I HATE buying smaller packages, because the cost to value ratio is lower.

That had the side effect of me playing "for free" for a long while between two paychecks - but desperately hoping for events like this because my mechbays were all full.

I got a classic kill-steal this afternoon -- I'd pulled the ER PPCs off my JM6-FB to try in my TDR-9S, so I was looking for something different to run in my FB, and I noticed I had an extra pair of gauss rifles in my inventory. Since the FB already runs an XL engine, I could take the weight without stripping armor, so I loaded them up and set out. I ended up on Tourmaline in a pretty good sniping position on a hill surrounded by low crystal formations in between two groups of my team that were engaging enemies on both sides. I was helping my teammates on the right-hand side with a group of enemies, and we'd either killed or driven them into retreat, so I turned to the left where three or four of my team were engaged with a "reddie" maybe 400m out. I zoomed it, lined up the shot, waited for friendlies to clear the field of fire and landed the dual-gauss. Mech dead. Now, my teammates were probably thinking "kill stealer", but I was in no way thinking that when I fired -- I was just trying to help. Since you don't know who's going to pop up over the next ridge, it's important to put down enemy mechs as quickly as possible (well, you sort of know depending upon whom you've engaged so far). At least for this match, we were outside of the window of the challenge, so I wasn't taking a $1.50 mech bay away from someone. So, should I not have fired? Should I have waited for the targeting data to come up on the enemy so I could see how close to dying he was? Or should I have left him to my buddies and found a different target, knowing that they might have taken more damage before putting him down? Perhaps we need to start a new thread to discuss "kill stealing" .

To say that I'm angry about community warfare is a vast VAST understatement.

To whit. I want nothing...

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

to do with stupid Munchclans anymore. I'd delete anything to do with them from the game and reset the game in 3025 if I could. Worst concept FASA came up with and now I'm even more disgusted by it.

I tried to do an IS v IS drop... Oh wait, the attack lanes are so intermingled you can't tell WHO is attacking. next thing I know, Smoke Jaguar. I just about dropped match right there, but it was Hellebore Springs, and I wanted to see the new map since I haven't played for 3 weeks or so.

Shoulda quit and left myself wondering.

Oh look an entire wave of Timbercheese and one stormcheese against a group of no-com pugs. Game over.

yeah. What a crapfest.

that's the thing i really don't believe there is kill stealing. a dead red mech is a dead red mech. if you can take it down, do so. move on to the next one. but in the heat of the quest for the shiny precious i lost sight of the fact that the light came to my aid and did what needed to be done. the last thing i want to see is mechs rushing up to help then stopping to assess if it is kill stealing or not. shoot the bugger.

maybe we do need a thread to discuss kill stealing

OTH after seeing what happens once the trolls show up maybe not

My experiences with Voip (in many games) have kept me off of TS's public servers completely.
Only time I have used it is when a pre-made grabs me and asks me to join.
(And even then sometimes I do not)

For all the good uses of it there is only so much garbage I will put up with.

Because only a small super highly obnoxious and vocal portion of the playerbase wanted it. The majority of the people-who-refused-to-join-units/group brigade, don't want to speak with anyone or conform/work with others.
Why would they use voip? It means they have to talk to people and not just randomly do as they please! HERESY I tells ye!

Meanwhile the rest of us who have been using voip for the past 2 years just shrug. It's what we already have, just more irritating. If I use it, I have to run TS and it as well.In game voip is only useful for the match-it's awful for social chatter. So you get johnny random screeching at you whilst you are trying to chatter with your mates-not very nice at all. Especially considering the fact that johnny random point blankedly refused to join your or anyone elses unit because they diddn't like anyone "telling them how to play."
