it's not. Just lots of QQ, because new mech = lots on the field,so more people dying to them.

I love my kit fox, i use it mainly for support, its not a superman mech.

you forgot Vindicators for MC

Are you buying, by the way?

I'll definitely be buying them for C-bills, even though I don't expect them to be as powerful as my current favourite mediums.

You mean the factory or the jungle / swamp map? If it's the former, then let's pray it's at least eight weeks away, because that map had more bugs than I could count.

actually, for a map that had not even had internal testing and QA, it was not too bad. There were some definite stick points though. Hopefully you actually filed reports for all the bugs you found?

Otherwise, no QQ for you!

great... just what we need.... more ECM kitfoxes and wolves

I like when people get mad about something they know nothing about
None of the stock Kit Foxes comes with ECM
Complain about something else for the time being

probably will. TBH, have not been on my main enough the last couple weeks to get the cbills up. So I will probably MC 2 of them (1X and 1 AA) and carry on. I expect to use the 1AA in normal play, the 1X for SMM.

I don't expect to be wowed, or replace my Griffin, but Blue does drive nice, even locked.

What's the fuzz about the ECM KF? How is it worse than any other ECM capable mech?

Other ECM mechs do not have Triple AMS--which is a big middle finger to any LRM mechs. Let's just say I had enough of ECM mechs during the tourney and the challenges, and many of those were ECM Triple AMS Kitties. At leastI do not have to worry about that on trial Kitties and blow them up.

For all of them? Hell no, that would have taken me more time than I'm willing to spend helping PGI for free. If this was closed beta, I would be more inclined to help.

I did point out one place to them though. If everyone who participated in the test filed one report, that should be more than enough

[Dawnstealer]

Yeah, I'd put the map in solid "maybe" territory. It was cool, but a bit choppy, on the test server: lots of floating assets and drop-through-the-earth points.

I wish they would fix lag freezes you know....

After the PTS Russ stated they had not even begun internal testing yet. 5-6 weeks before Map.

it was 4-6 weeks away (minimum) 4 weeks ago, I wouldn't get excited about a new map yet. Also, we've heard nothing in regards to the whole unit creation thing but today is the deadline so we'll see

Good map, I would rather they fix the most egregious bugs and stick points, and be late, then have my experience tainted further with horrible glitches.

Being able to join a unit, put a tag in front of your name and donate to a coffer that can be spent on nothing, is not CW content.
You'll still hear the 90 days from me & everyone that isn't blinded by white knight syndrome.

Trial version of the Kit Fox won't have ECM so you don't have to worry about that. Also I doubt we see a ton of new Dire Wolves for MC because they are going to be selling for like 8500 MC each. Cheaper just to Ala Carte one and get 3 variants so if you haven't bought one by now, your not going to buy one for MC. Also I don't really think the Direwolf is the one releasing, rather I think that was a typo. The original release schedule says that Summoner is next after Nova, not Direwolf

[Verkhne]

Kit-Fox for c-bills? I guess that means we will see even more running around lacking their sneaky arm!


edit::::bad builds...

oh I love the map, I just don't expect it any time soon and it was too small. Has the best atmosphere of any map yet as far as I'm concerned. Not perfect, but better for sure

I felt the size perfect for such a congested design. Any larger and it would be a nightmare to have to chase a light mech through at end of match. More than later enough for maneuvers

it's no more than having to chase a light down on Alpine or any other map really. If the map were bigger it would make those lights even more useful because with all the cover it's easy for them to recon and scout, even without ECM.

going to be glad today, association and first phase of CW. I wont have to hear that 90 days joke anymore.

Hmmm ... you think unit affiliation makes CW?
