Urbiewarriors... we need to keep up the pressure to change PGIs mind about the collector's variant. It can still be...

Why would we want the collector's variant to be Deputy Dawg? When we can have DD be the hero variant?

I thought they were one in the same. Guess I'm mistaken then.

Got my collectors urbie preordered. Finding the loadouts that fit my playstyle are going to be interesting. I look forward to it.

As for the phoenix pack discussion going on above. I LOVE THE LOCUST. I admit i didn't do anything with it at all until about last november, but when i did, wow.

It's not the most competitive, not by a long shot, but to learn how to use it well teaches you so much about how to pilot light mechs. With such low armour and firepower, it forces you to play clever, to really think about what you're doing. It's such a thrill to get those 100+ score games with it, a joyride every time you drop.

<3 Locusts, now let's bring on the urban mechs!

(Click my sig, for pilots who regularly post high numbers with a Locust.)
Let's review my post, shall we?

1- I said the Locust is a decent mech. You said it's a POS. Now, could you point again where I said the Locust was competitive?

2- Did I say the meta was poptarting? I said that despite the JJ nerf, the SHD is still okay with poptarting.(try running a Gauss + ERPPC + JJs set up. It's fun, and still works.)

3- I said that it can ridge hump better (it can also corner peak better), and nowhere did I state that THAT was the meta.

You tried saying the Shadowhawk has advantages over the Stormcrow, it really does not, at all. Even the Griffin usurps it.

But I guess my competitive meta mindset isn't welcome amid Locust pilots so i'll see myself out.

But if anything, my fully mastered Locust 3M is practice for the Firemoth.

I love my Locust-PB. It's fun and challenging and I have some of my best matches, of course living on the knifes edge of death by single shot can make you play smarter. Victory is sweeter in a Locust when taking down a dire Wolf. I agree that taking it into CW is next too suicide. It just can't take sustained direct fire... But mostly because it can't jump a gate as part of a light rush and turrets go through it like it is made of tissue paper. It's actually made out of paper mache, not tissue paper.

Nah, this guy would be like the SHD-2H(P), or the LCT-1V(P). It's the pack variant with the 30% C-Bill bonus. Not the same as a hero mech.

Nothing is NOT welcome. I was just trying to say that my posts were not focusing on the competitive side. Feel free to stay.

You and I can disagree all we want on the SHD vs. SCR thing, but that's all that it is, just a disagreement, not a fight.

why am I only allowed to buy one package?



...my dream of 6 Urbanmechs is dashed



So what does the Urbanmech horn sound like?

Dukes of Hazzard?

Super Mario Star song?

Bicycle bell?

So is anyone giddy about having a 4 ballistic arm?

[zeninsight]

Ooohhh the ATlas killer is here

[Grendel408]

I'm gonna get an Urbie! <stoked>

[ZnSeventeen]

Got it, can't wait to try it. I imagine a strange first match, with a lot of head spinning.

[Lan Pyrelight]

I came. I saw. I rotate 360 degrees. Curse my impulsive clicking!

[Drake67]

still disappointed that all the variants are ballistic oriented, wanted the R80 with ppc and ecm, and the 68 with missles. as for max engine 120 sounds good.

[Harathan]

So if you put two LL's on the Urbie, you've basically got a CW turret.

Although I think the turrets are faster and have more armour.

[KafkaSyrup]

There PGI, was that so hard? You puts out dat honey and we gives you da dollah.

~~~~~~~~ SQUueeeeeEEEEeeeeeeeeeee ~~~~~~~~

In for one collectors, up in my trousers, and down for some serious mass urbie love. The refinery area on caustic, I'm looking at you. We have a date on April 7th,

[Dino Might]

How have we only gotten 1/3 of the needed pre-orders for this thing to be green-lighted? Day 1 is pretty much over. I thought we would have hit 150% of threshold by now. I expected urbie orders to exceed expected value like the MWO heat scale exceeds that of TT.

[ATM87]

where is the needed pre-orders listed?
