[Mater]

this looks like it will be fun, something to do with the kids

[Keeshu]

Ah PGI, just figured I'd stop by to say thank you for doing this event, such a breath of fresh air. I hope events like this, or similar keep up.

[Ashaira]

I feel bad for selling the Centurion they gave. I was a noob and didn't know how to play it so i thought it was shit :| wish there was an undo button.

Again, we would advise PGI to alter the amount of won games to at least 35 or more.

So you advise PGI to give the free mech only to a minority of players? You look so smart when you write nonsense.

[vash021]

i agree 5 is too less but 35? come on dude we are not free loaders like you

10 would be fair

5 wins for the average person will be 10 games, which is like 2 hours of play on average right?

2 hours of play seems reasonable for a contest. When you get the mech, you'll have to play it a few times and outfit it, and that will encourage you to play more anyway.

The first hit is free.

[Jess Hazen]

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey you guys are unbelievable. lets not argue about what they gave us, the number of 'wins' required is just right.

Sweet! Free mech again! But I think it's a cover up for the group crapy thing...

I have a question say if I win 3 then the game dumps me into desktop and I half to relaunch will it see I have three wins and go on or do I end up starting over ?

If you finished that 3rd game then you go on from where you last were.

Hey, it's got the doable twin AC/5 + PPC option with that weight, so you're even meta-capable, along with a total of six energy hardpoints. Anything with at least two ballistic hardpoints can make a decent mark in the world.

I like how that sounds.

Yea, 35 might be a bit much, but 20 games over 5 days wouldn't be bad. The Centurion last time and the free mech bay could have been 10 games over the weekend.

[Rubidiy]

I like my 5S(P), so I'm gonna sell 9S and use this mechbay.
If you're interested in 9S, check out this build. TDR-9S

With my bad luck it will be like 50-60 games then to score 20 victories.

[Zerberus]

A free new Thunderbolt to wreck face in, with 2 AMS? Why Yes, I think I want one, thank you for not even asking

Those that feel a need to complain about this may seriously need to get one of more of the following: a life /a grip /laid.

[Longarme]

Yes, yes, yes. More, more, more

[Votanin FleshRender]

I had trouble winning the 5 games for the free mech bay a couple of weeks ago... and a does a free mech mean anything to vets? You guys have to sleeping on a bed of cbills every night So this is obviously aimed at newby crappy players like myself that have a hard time grinding cbills for new mechs (though I've already run out and bought a bunch of the hero mech sales for the 30% bonus)

The TBolt was one of my favorites when playing tabletop BattleTech back in the day. Hope the 5 games is easier this time.

[AntharPrime]

Too bad it's not an ECM variant. The heavy class is the only class without an ECM capable mech.

I have 50 ish mechs but only like 7 million Cbills so any new mechs I still have to grind for. The last mech I purhcased was the FIrestarter though which is cheaper, if I had instead gone for the Orion I wouldn't have even made enough CBills to have bought the 3rd just yet I think.

These are really fantastic PGI. Thank you! I got the CN-9A(c) a number of weeks ago and that made me get the other cents to master it. I'm now going to get the other TDR's and master them. These types of events work for you, and they work for the players too. I'm already grinding another TDR in prep for the 9S.

I would suggest to do underused chassis, maybe Dragons or Awesome's next.

[Noobatron x300]

Its a free mech which is awesome since I don't have any as of yet and a bay too ! , Don't know if i'll use it i'll try it if its not my thing i'll sell if it is my thing awesome, I'm sort of indifferent on this giving away a free mech is amazing don't get me wrong or perceive me as ungrateful , But in my humble view it doesn't make the balance issues go away or make the games lack of content go away. Again great job but mores needed.
