Looks promising. Sad that we don't get a launch banner. Any screen shots, or initial thoughts from those who purchased?

Hail,

Gyro in the CT ruins it, sorry but IMHO not worth 4500MC.

Seyla,

[Ovion]

Hoboy.

£11 to £15 for this:


I'll pass.

[SethAbercromby]

Well, give it some mean poison green and the thing will look fitting to it's name (Ivy, in case you didn't get it yet. It's not four 4).

The weapons loadout... eh. It seems kinda all over the place but the hardpoint layout is not bad. You could do some nasty builds with it.

[IraqiWalker]

Wait, is this for real?

[SethAbercromby]

Yup, stealth Hero.

[BSK]

Now those are some hardpoints I could get into. It is a bit too clan like and it remembers me of some 3060 designs, but it could get me into one of the mechs I have completely ignored so far ..

I'm surprised it's not on Smurfy's already. Usually mechs are up on it, before they are even released.

EDIT: it's also not on the MW:O website Battlemech lists.

Poor Quickdraw hero. Did anyone even know you were showing up today?

I posted several times about it here and here last night.

QKD get's a hero, one I've been waiting for. And still no love. Where's all the publicity and fan fare it rightly deserves?

I really hope it gets a proper announcement tomorrow.

[Fang01]

I knew a couple days ago

[Forte]

I see some fun being had with this little monster. I agree the paint is a bit weird considering it has 2 name lines (The story associated indicates it is IVY Upsalom's .44 QKD, and the paint is more of an IV blood theme). Paint it black with the veins red tho and it will be very interesting looking.

[GLIZZY GULPER]

Does anyone else instantly think "Dual Gauss"?

Look around - there as much fanfares about new QKD hero as much it deserves. Zero. IMO it's fairly weak and slow.

Proper 2-G requires 36 tons of free space and at least 250XL engine. Answer is 'impossible'.

Its now up: http://mwo.smurfy-ne...b#i=158&l=stock

Todays update took a bit longer as usual, because PGI changed some of it's xml file structure.

[Modo44]

More likely 2xUAC5+ERLL, or 2xAC5+2xML+SRM8. Dual Gauss could technically fit, but it would make the mech assault-slow.

[CCC Dober]

Tinkered a bit with it on smurfy ... JJ + Dual gauss or dual LBX10 seems to be it. Not worth the price IMO.

I agree with you on the slow part. I wanted a 300 minimum, but hoping for a 320.

This might work.

Dual guass is a bad build on this mech. Why do people keep bringing it up? You need arms that are a bit higher mounted for the gauss to work on it. Uac5s, work fine. AC5s, even better. Dual AC2s are hilarious on it. In fact, 2xAC2s+2xLRM5s+2MLs is a funky build that can surprise you.
