Also your problem is meta mechs.
All the meta mechs get mostly CT-damage from LRMs. If you want to survive LRM boats, go non-meta. Even the Awesome gets mostly arm and side torso damage from LRMs (yet someone hitting you in the side can magically hit your CT).

Thus explaining (in part) why the meta-humpers (as oposed to the actual good players in Meta builds) scream about how OP lrm are

mmmmm, why don't they make the same exact loadouts available. That would have been so much more cooler than this this sale.

Also announcing a sale without announcing the names of the mechs on that sale, is either stupid or premature.

that would be a lot of work like making upto 12 champion/hero mecks at once.

Jenner F is correct, the SHD was a phoenix version, the 2H and I think there was a 5M.

The Shadow Hawk was the 5M variant. And the winning team also had a SDR-5D.

How did an LRM boat get in there? I mean, didn't ACES end up being the only one that brought even modest amounts of ZE MISSILES to a match and won (not that they got past that first win, nor did they use LRMs for the second match)?

There was an A1 in the semis (on caustic, which is where LRMs are best, btw). That team did win, too.

Way to celebrate the problem with the game. You guys are seriously dumber than all hell. You're basically like a parent allowing a fat kid to eat as much as they want, and telling them everything is going to be alright.

what?? something the matter?

[Cimarb]

So we still have 2 more hours before the sale starts? oh the struggle...

[Kassatsu]

Excellent. A sale on the Dragon Slayer for me to ignore.

[Monsoon]

Hmmmm I have 1335 MC, Ember 1312. Sold!

This will be the first Light I've bought with the purpose of really piloting it. (Sarah's, and PP Locust don't really count.)

So I assume the sale has started since it is 10:40 Pacific...so where is the list of Mechs or do I have to go Mech by Mech to find them?

[FORGE88]

This is good , gives other players that enjoyed the performance of such mechs in a tournament state to pilot and put to the test!

Smurfy pulls them from the game itself

I believe what Todd is referring to is that it is encouraging a "problem meta" that rewards the ability to point and click for rapid kills, while making other mechs useless (because PGI has yet to continue the hitbox overhaul paused between November and December or do much to encourage, fix, or otherwise control certain other elements of gameplay and mechanics).

Sale's great and all... but now that the tournament is over we'll have some much needed balancing.

...however, when are we getting back to the hitbox overhaul? It'd be important to do it before the Clans so you don't end up overnerfing the Clans.

[igavemymomkoolaid]

It's on Smurfy's and in store.

JR7-F 580 MC

CTF-3D 1,977 MC

SDR-5D 507 MC

SHD-2H 872 MC

SHD-2D2 895 MC

SHD-5M 1,635 MC

JR7-F(C) 725 MC

DRAGON SLAYER 3,000 MC

SDR-5K(C) 617 MC

EMBER 1,312 MC

CTF-3D(C) 2,472 MC


Finally I got my hands on the Dragon Slayer. I missed the last sale. This is a funny opportunity to get a mech but who cares?

Hey Shar Wolf, thanks for the Link! Figures it would be Mechs I already own or are not interested in owning.
