I've played thousands of matches in my Jenner-F. I think I have over 2 million XP for it. I still play it all the time, because it's fun as hell.

For some, variety is the spice of life. For me, running around in a Jenner-F and pissing off pilots in heavier 'Mechs, is all I'll ever need.

Thats a mindset I truly dont understand, I dont care if I win aslong as I had fun and got some kills.

More power to you then. Unfortunately, there are not many guys like you out there. Granted, I worded that quoted sentence a bit harsh. It should read "For some people winning is more fun than the game itself." or something like that. It's actually the same reason people cheat - because they can only have fun when they are winning. Not to set power gamers and cheaters on one level, but the principle is the same. Just that one bunch sticks to the rules while the others don't.
Ever wondered about those jump snipers? They come to a game like Mechwarrior to sit behind a hill essentially doing nothing than playing Duck Hunt. That's just their way of having fun, winning at any cost, even if that means playing the game in a way most other people would find boring.

OP this is just one of those things where different people enjoy different things. Some people enjoy practicing and fine tuning one or two mechs of choice. Some people enjoy going from one mech to another from one loadout to another. Neither way is wrong, it's just different.

From my point of view, I can't understand why people need to collect every mech they can and are constantly grinding new ones. Then as soon as they master it, they move on to a new one leaving the old one untouched for months.

It's called HOARDING or OBSESSION COMPULSIVE.

It could be neither or both, but the simple fact is... some people like going back to their toys mechs they haven't played in a while.

Playing around with my 39 Mechs, but it never get old, to drop in my Wang and try to make it work with 2 AC2, well till the Patch, now iam try to get the Gauss to work. Hell this Preloadthing is some sort of $&%$%&, anyway ill get it work. Iam sure,


Cant tell exactly why, but it is some sort of relaxing, like meeting an good old Friend.

I'm in the same boat as a lot of the people in this thread, I need some mech variety. By the time I get done grinding a mech to elite for the double efficiencies I usually feel ready to switch to something else even if I've tinkered with the build on numerous occasions during the grind. The tinkering does help keep things interesting though.

That being said I'm at a point where I know what my preferred playstyle is and which mechs I have the most fun with. There's nothing like getting back in my Hunchback after a long grind with another mech and because of that it has generated quite a bit XP overhead.

[Roland]

Many people get enjoyment from the game due to the actual combat, rather than just putting random junk onto their mech.

This is mechwarrior, not dress-up barbie.

People take weapons which are effective.

Post-drinking real Osaka street Ramen at 2am in the winter is a borderline religious experience.

Ugh. No desire to wed.
Wed rhymes with Dead, Married with Buried, for a reason. Matrimony leads to Alimony, lol. It's not that I have commitment issues, I have merely committed to being uncommitted.

I have 70 mechs (soon 71; SHD-2D) so I love variety. Sometimes, some guys in TS will be like, let's all run X so we all load up and run X. Of course some X's I don't own so

[East Indy]

Every session is a different 'Mech with an at least slightly different playstyle. It's funny, because I'm pretty routinized in real life.

[Nik Van Rhijn]

I played Hunchies almost exclusively from CB until I got the Phoenix pack - mainly for the Shawks which I love. (my "first" ride in the PnP Mechwarrior). Not the best person to advise you on beemers Joe - I've managed some fun in this; http://mwo.smurfy-ne...dfac27076b56108 but unlike you I'm not an Assault pilot.
Just clocked up 32 years married.

I can't cause I saw these before I could! goofy as heck would be a blast to hag out over beers with them!

[Adiuvo]

Gameplay is what makes the matches interesting. Build is only one facet of that.

This is also why I find competitive 12man play vs. top teams the most fun. Yes all the builds are mostly the same, and that's what really lets differences in tactics and skill shine through. Everybody is trying their best - no mucking around in SPL Jenners or AC2 Shadowhawks.

[Clit Beastwood]

Personally? I switch out to all flamer builds to "reboot" myself.

http://www.twitch.tv...stetz/c/4118969 - 32 flamer lance (472 damage 1 kill)

OR we make up our own gamemodes.
Here's "The Bodyguard" - we pick someone to protect.. If they live, we succeed! If they die? We fail!
http://www.twitch.tv...stetz/c/4106755 - success! (772 dmg 6 kills)

I'm all about having fun... this is a game I play to unwind after work, on weekends, etc... gotta keep it fun!
