In the time it took me to reply to this message I bought 4 more mechs.

Seriously, I will buy each and every Hero they put out. I am anxiously awaiting the next mech pack (c'mon Wolf's Dragoons!). Pretty soon I will hit the triple digits in mechs.

IMHO we the community could have set up our own House and Clan Warfare once private matches were added. What stops the major faction groups from contacting each other, declaring war on planets and setting up victory conditions? Be curious to see what PGI does but we could already be defending the honor of our houses.

After the Phoenix and Overlord packages people should have gotten the hints / eyeopeners already. They're just making it worse encouraging PGI's bad behaviour. Soon as i saw the Invasion and the horrible information regarding the clans i knew people just paying for a stompy 3D model which PGI can change at any will without obstruction regarding balance and gameplay.

I dont tell you were to spend your money on. And i understand if you hoped PGI would improve. But it's a joke when if you spend anymore money on this game after the Founders or Phoenix / Ovelord, endless matchmaking problems, faulty balance and solutions, bad lead design and more. And then i haven't mentioned the huge lists of broken assets which awaits a solution or fix. Also the animation of the current Invasion mechs are horrible done. I mean, it's quality is poor. The current patches so far is to be ashamed of. "Look! Another giant stompy robot available for MC!" with just two small fixes on the end of the list. Mind-blowing.

Current ELO is just wack. Current matchmaking system dividing mechs is cheap.

In the end the overall gamequality is getting worse overtime. We also dont have a stable, respectabele, offering major features and Mechwarrior worthy competitive enviroment. Current enviroment is a joke and i dont take any 'competitive' unit in a broken game serious.

When you honestly think that CW will going change major things, then your mind have carried harder then i though.

They cannot even make the current version of the game in a Mechwarrior, Battletech worthy state. Remember: all they want is your money. Their goal is to provide minimal content, high income.

Since they want you to have as many mechs as you can possibly get your hands on, I wouldn't expect CW to make you take certain mechs, or even if it does CW isn't where you will be spending most of your combat grind.

I buy the mech I want. For shure there will bee still privat matches. The first modul is not full CW. That will take much more time.
As Claner...I will drop with the mech I want. Anyway. I think I schot down enough IS mechs or Clanmechs in IS or Clan mechs to claim that I own them.

I've just been mastering mechs that i know I will probably never use and/or know that non of the factions I plan to use will use them as much as other factions. So I've been avoiding the Jenner, and Dragon even though the Jenner looks like it's really really fun, and I stopped using the dragon (dem dragons are still the hardest thing I've ever used...... I love it!) once I heard that Community Warfare was a thing.
Of course, I still don't know what faction I'll be. Pros and cons for all of them, so I'm looking forward to MWO's interpretation of all the factions (sorry, 1 paragraph doesn't cut it).

I mean, I know I like Kurita (PPCs, Missiles, Dragon, Jenner, Samurai honor), dislike Steiner + Laio, and the other 3 I'm not sure about just yet. I dislike Clan Wolf (too gary stu-ish), and the other clans I dunno enough about (but Ghost Bear uses Mad Dog a lot so I'm leaning towards them since Mad Dog is my #1 favorite battletech design). Perhaps MWO will make it easier for people to understand each faction at some point.

Neg. One should say "I could NOT care less". You speak like a stravag freebirth.
Where is your Falcon pride? :(

I only have 3 mechs more to buy including the hero battlemaster and also don't believe for a second that a pilot in a non-clan faction won't be able to use a clan mech so please provide a recent citation. :(

Now the need to deploy 8/10/12 Davions all in Clan mechs thats a bit different. :P

I roll with changes so want to cover all eventualities Mech/tactics wise. With the new quirks who knows what mech chassis will suddenly become useful.

PS: I actually have marginal interest in CW it has to be said. All I can see is a reason to grind and currently I have a constantly changing game courtesy of all the new chassis I'm mastering so why bother?

Aside from the obvious Clan/IS split, they said a long time ago that the main impact that house allegiances will have on mech choices will be the price you pay. In other words, how ubiquitous a mech is within a faction will help determine its price point. That said, even if this goes in at some point, I doubt very seriously it will be for a while.
