[Flyer101999]

I have an issue. I have won my 5 games but it won't give me the notice that telling me I have a new mech. Also, it's been 1 day since I've gotten my 5th victory and the progress bar shows that I've won 5 games.

So this is telling.

Finally get my Thunder Bolt 9S.

Build it with Dual AMS 3000 rounds ammo, 5 ML 1 LL and 1 SRM 200 rounds of ammo.

Go into game. Dual AMS fails to take out any enemy LRMs. Get slaughtered.

Fail.

Did you forget to put in AMS ammo?
AMS ammo burns off a little too fast, (to the point where the Bitchin' Betty is all but interrupting the "AMS ammo at 25%" statement with the "AMS ammo depleted" statement at times), but it's still eating a lot of missiles.

This is the only 'Mech in which I've gotten an 800 damage game in before basics were even done. That I can remember.
It's like a mobile pocket Battlemaster.

I did not have to redeem. I did have to restart the client!

For those who want to know how to redeem their free 'Mech :

• Wait 15 minutes after your 5th win.
  
• Restart the MWO client.

Edit: Irony is that this post is going to be knocked off the last page by people asking how to redeem their 'Mech.

Spoiler

You know who you are.

Thanks for the new Mech PGI. Since this Mech's selling proposition is dual AMS, I feel compelled to ask for improved AMS performance. The system right now is rather lacking to put it lightly. Again, thanks for the new ride and keep them coming heh =)

Under Modules...
"Targeting" or "Support", whichever has the weapon modules.
"AMS Range Module."
Upgrade it. Twice.
Slap it on your mech.
Eliminate 6-ish missiles per second for 2 to 3 seconds as they come at you.
Watch all volleys disappear from the sky.
Find yourself asking for AMS nerfs after that.

So I earned my 5 wins earlier today it says I have won the 5 games in my tracker, I have since restarted the client and it has been over 15 hours and my new mech still hasn't appeared. Is there some way I can fix t his or do I have to wait for the devs to come in on monday to fix it?

[Sitruc]

and Right after I posted this and restarted my MW client it populated lol, speak of the devil.

[12Breacher]

Got my five wins yesterday and I still don't have this mech.What gives?

[FupDup]

I managed to find a loadout that works okay for now:
TDR-9S

The energy weapons part of the loadout feels underwhelming much of the time, but the dakka makes up for it.


I also tried UAC/5 + 2 PPC + 3 ML but it just didn't click for me even though it's technically "more meta-ish" than the one above.

[Trooper60709]

Might be a reason to check in....but if you said early access to community warfare beta, then hell yeah! Sadly it's not.

Will try. I gotta spend those cbills myself. But it's amazing how many missiles these things shoot down. (Seen them take down single LRM-15s. Though obviously they can't take out every single missile that some of these people use.)

[CCC Dober]

Well, as the man said: seeing is believing. I don't think that AMS performance against single launchers is anything to go by. In reality you are dealing with multiple LRM or S/SRM launchers much more often. Also, don't you find it a bit weird to suggest modules to 'enable' AMS to do its job properly? Basically says it all right there ...

[Rattlehead NZ]

I had to reset 4 times to get it to show, but finally did work.

That's just bad, and you should feel bad.

Hint: XL on Tbolts are a deathtrap. Hitting the side torso accidentally is not that hard...

[Brink Contro]

Thanks guys, this was really awesome. It's worth it for the mech bay alone but a T-bolt with solid hp's and dh's is epic. nailed it! Really helped my mate who's been grinding through after finishing his cadet bonus. I have no problem putting more money into this game if you guys keep giving back like this. Keep up the good work

[Dawnstealer]

This mech, stock, is the most fun I've had in a long time. I slapped an XL in there, flip-flopped a flamer and ML (so one in either side torso), annnnd...called it a day. Having a blast - might have finally found the mech to challenge my Wolverine for fun.

Hi, I'm the Jester, have we met?

No, if you don't spend MC for 'Mechs. It's a freebie dual AMS heavy, which does make it an exception to the normal rule. Go figure, right after noobs screamed "LURMAGEDDON", too...

[Harve McWire]

Hi guys,

first of all I want to greet everyone. This is my first note...
I have a problem concerning the this TDR easter action. The last time with the mech bay and the centurion
I had no problem but this time it seems to be that I cannot get the TDR. I played one Friday... I played on
Saturday... I played to today with many wins but I see no response...
Could anybody tell me what I can do in this case?!

Thanks for support...

Harve

[wanderer]

If you didn't get one and you're showing the challenge as complete in your profile, EMAIL SUPPORT.

[CMDR Sunset Shimmer]

This was a great event. and I want to encourage PGI/IGP to do this kind of thing more often
