That said it is unlikely I will ever use it since I am in the same boat as Rip, small house, odd hours, sleeping kids/wife. (Rip, you guys need a 4th casual pug?) this is also the reason I am not in a group even though it sounds fun.


Of COURSE man!

What you can expect from membership...

A lore based Davion unit concept (been a crazy Battletech fan since 1991, and we're on permanent assignment :P ) with a super casual implementation (like you said, job, wife, kids, small house, inability to truly commit to anything that isn't super casual <_< ). And, while in person I'm known to curse like a longshoreman that stepped on a nail AND just found out he's being audited by the IRS, we keep it clean in game, since hey, kids play this. Also, we have a deep appreciation for craft beer, and slapstick comedy.

We have only two rules:

Rule #1 - "Don't be an Ass"

Rule #2 - "Never forget Rule #1"

Mostly we solo drop, but ever so occasionally (so far, we're talking "Halley's Comet" occasionally ;) ), we manage unit drops. When we do, we tend to get stomped, but we have a lot of fun, mostly because fun is really our sole driving motivator.

Long term goals would mostly be, continue all of the above, add the occasional like minded folks in similar situations as ourselves, and maybe sometime manage to even do some drops with other more serious units in the Davion ranks as friends and allies.

If this sounds right for you...I'll put your name on a bunk in the dropship and clean out a footlocker for you to stow your gear. Be sure to stash all "contraband" near the bottom, since "inspection" is really more of a "casual glance at a barely lifted lid" around here. :D

Challenge still has a few hours left.

MY WHINE:

You know how Afghanistan is the graveyard of empires? Well, Frozen City is the graveyard of all my winning streaks. Whenever I am on a streak, and feeling on top of the world. Frozen City shows up, and my streak stops dead right there. I don't know why. Maybe it's because my machine has ****** performance over all, and Frozen city makes it worse. Or maybe it's psychological.

You know what's the most logical one? Frozen City hates me.


Heh. Same here man, same here.

My worst win:loss ratio is hands down on that map, followed just behind by...Frozen City Night...

It's excruciating.

If I had my way I'd make it so that once you are dead you can only talk to other dead players while you spectate. If you're out of the match you shouldn't be allowed to affect the outcome like some Obi-Wan. In fact I wish chat worked that way.


You know, even though I am absolutely one of those that still chats tactical after I die, I think this is a pretty awesome idea.

What exactly does the playerbase want? My want list is really, really short. It consists of one thing. I want to play mwo with my friends and have fun. So far there seems to be a contingent of people that don't want that for themselves or for me.
So I ask again, what exactly is it that they want?


I don't know if it's possible to consider the "playerbase" as a single entity.

The "wants" are so diverse and all over the place, it's bananas. I feel like I see suggestions/requests on the forums on a pretty daily basis that sound just downright horrible to me, and anytime said people try to lump me into their insanity, I immediately feel like, "who's 'we' Kemosabe?"...

I bought the $40 pack, and I really don't even know if I'll play them. The Urbie holds quite literally zero appeal to me, except as something to shoot at. Call it my lifelong Davion affiliation that has trained me to view them as nothing other than Liao straitjackets with targets on the chest.

But...

I'll admit the purchase may have been motivated by a desire to, 1). support PGI in their efforts to develop an IP I love, 2). support my compatriots who are, against all better judgement and tactical convention, "Urbie-crazy" (some of you included ;) ), and (probably most especially), 3). support my own mech collecting...addiction. :P

I rather go have a good haircut then wasting the money on a urbie. It's a great iconic mech, but it just isn't worth the money unless PGI are planning to do urbie only matches.

That would be a hilarious thing.

Yep... knew it the instant I saw it. My goal is 2400 mc over the next few days. If successful, I will be satisfied.
