With the work of the scientist caste so close to my reach, I find it a real chore to log in to drop in Inner Sphere chassis. The interest just is not there, I am Clan bias, not caring of the tech, but the thought of just riding in a Clan chassis.

I find myself twiddling my thumbs until the 17th now. Just a couple more weeks! Just a couple!

I think I may drop in the Kit Fox and slowly work my way up during drops. Should be a lot of fun.

[ChapeL]

Nah, as I have expressed elsewhere I still like to play, amassing as much C-Bills and GXP as I can for the big day. I'm basically just practicing my gunnery until the 17th... and there is much practicing needed.

[Gyrok]

Yeah racking up GXP to get as many at least through basics first.

[Loc Nar]

Twiddling my thumbs till June 3rd. TrackIR being added to the game means a whole lot more to me (and gameplay) than moar mechs to buy.

[RedEagle86]

C-bill and GXP grindage, more just waiting for the 3rd so I can finally choose the correct faction! (Currently have 30k GXP, 5mil CBills... I NEED MORE!!!!)

I suppose what I'm doing could be classed as "twiddling my thumbs"...
I'm very eager to see what the game will be like once the Clan 'Mechs are introduced!

[Keeshu]

Well I still plan to master all the mechs in the game so I have an idea of their strengths, weaknesses, and how they like to pilot their mech.
Example: Playing the Atlas. Losing your right Torso is generally a major cut in your Damage since you'll probably have a Gauss or AC/20 in there. If it's a DDC, take out the left torso first because that's the only place you can put the ECM in the Left torso, and that's also where they'll put a bunch of LRMs or SRMs. Also, Lights are the most annoying thing in the world as an Atlas, and you really need to know where to fight looooooong before the fight ever starts because you are not going anywhere fast.


I will say, MWO has turned most of the Inner Sphere mechs from looking like crap, to looking like some pretty cool mechs.
With that said I'll probably be playing Clan mechs after all the Inner Sphere mechs are done. Perhaps with a couple exceptions like the catapults. If we get the Mad Dog, and the missles behave like Mechwarrior 2's Missles, I'll probably be using the Mad Dog more (even if the Timber Wolf has the same speed, more firepower+heat sinks, more armor)

I'm building a stockpile of CBills to be ready to make a few bills when clan mechs arrive, though my stockpile may all dissapear if I get tempted by a Highlander 733C.

[Kodiak Jorgensson]

I'm so excited i cracked out the older games just to play with my preferred chassis been on pirates moon all weekend

[Thell]

I patiently await the day where I can use my clan mechs and most likely abandon all Inner Sphere junk. What is this June 3rd thing people are talking about? I must have missed it.

June 3rd is when you'll be able to select one of the four main Clans as your faction instead of an IS faction so you can pick from Clans Wolf, Ghost Bear, Smoke Jaguar, and Jade Falcon.

I'm awaiting the arrival of Clan Mechs myself.

I hope that the Nova Cats, Steel Vipers, and Diamond Sharks make an appearance as well.

[Thell]

Oh damn, Smoke Jaguar all the way.

[Pariah Devalis]

Very, very difficult for me to log in right now. A touch under two weeks away. Ugh.

[Javin]

Sadly most of my friend have left or are leaving. The 'invasion' means nothing without CW. With no CW clans only bring in amazing mechs. Which means in a few months you will only see Clans mechs. I still pray for CW but for a couple of months at least, this game will pay to win in clan mechs.

[Mr Blonde]

I'm sort of in limbo...I've been playing since closed beta and I have amassed a lot of time in IS chassis. With no CW to speak of yet I need a new challenge. I'm ready to go on the 17th; I do wonder though if Clan factions will open up on that day as well. I may or may not change, but they should be in there if the Mechs are! Makes very little since otherwise. Realistically, my primary reason for going ahead and making the purchase now (of course all the stuff), was to be able to start demolishing people with what will undoubtedly be the game's most broken weapon, the Ultra 20...prepare yourselves to be owned by the Stormcrow B. Moves at almost 100 KPH, 55 tons, and will deliver 40 damage into your rear CT.

As for GXP, I'm still saving up...I like to use them to buy the cooling upgrades on any new mechs. This will be especially important on Clan mechs.

[shameless]

building up Cbills for all the weapons and pods we'll inevitably have to buy that they don't come with....

[Shepherd]

I'm still playing more or less as much as I ever have. I belong to a Clan, but my favorite era is 3025. I really like all of the IS mechs.

I am looking forward to the clan mechs though. I was a big Nova fan back in MW2, and when it was put into MW4:Mercs (by MekTek I think) I was a very happy camper. 12 cER Medium Lasers is going to rock and roll. I think a trigger for the right arm 6, a trigger for the left arm 6, and a trigger with all twelve set to chain fire.... and probably another trigger with all 12 set to alpha strike just for the hilarity.

I see lots of overheating in my future, haha!

[Lucky Moniker]

right there with you Coffi, that is the reason i have been semi-inactive as of late. I just can not bring my self to drive these mechs i have been driving for the past almost 2 years when the new hotness is just around the corner
