HELL YEAH!

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

This whole anniversary celebration announcement is just a big old hug from PGI. It certainly helps me to feel good about my purchases.

AH, how I missed you (well, really, one of my friends missed you more, but welcome back anyway).

And seeing the news about a new Atlas and the King Crab (King frakking Crab, people!) just made my day.

But....but but....but.... King Crab T_T

As soon as I saw that this thing was coming back I knew you'd post about it.

Really looking forward to trying it out since I missed it.

Don't worry sweetie, once you get older...

Definitely will give the AH a try with permanently opened missile doors. Loved the mech in Closed Beta, but hated the doors and the mech got taken out of the game before manual doors got added.

AND they gave it the 30% Hero's bonus!

Well this is great! Another AC/20 Centurion, look forward to seeing it again.

So, before my time and I'm not a big TT guy (and I want to give Bishop a chance to squeal): tell me about the AH? Arm mounted 20 but missiles too? Is that right? Thanks.

it's not the Deputy Dawg, but it's the closest thing MWO has done yet for my satisfaction level (though the SIB paint job is pretty high on the list)

[Oderint dum Metuant]

It's good; but it's hardly work.

It was here before and is essentially just recycled content.

Stock, AC20 with LRM10.

I forget if it started with 3 slots, and got nerfed to 2, but 2 Missile Bays, 2? Ballistic. Anyhow, in the days of SHS, Closed Beta, packing an SRM10 and ac20 was a vicious combo for those of us who didn't buy into the HBK hype (as in CB it was firmly believed the Centurion was inferior.... yet many of use discovered it's zombie toughness long before the mech was popular with Metas)

Is it a game changer? Not now, but it was a great fun mech. I might even keep mine stock for SMM.

It has a RA that could carry an AC/20 and 2 missile points in the LT. Back in Beta you could jam a 350XL engine in it and have some serious fun, but now it will be slow.

Still that big AC and 2 SRM6s with a very tight shot pattern and the legendary Centurion tankyness will make for a good brawler.

Between this and Coke announcing the return of Surge I may have a heart attack from too much giddiness.

Yeah, so I should piss and complain that PGI is making a gesture for loyal spenders.

Tell you what, it's a free forum and all, but how about pisisng all over some other thread already full of negativity?

Seriously.

I couldn't play Mediums back in closed Beta thanks to 4 FpS. Having one gifted to me for being here is quite cool. Just don't make me get used to it!

Congrats on the KC Bishop. You deserve one!

[Nathan Foxbane]

Joy, now I have yet another medium to master. Haven't even started on my Griffons, Novas, and Stormcrows. Got a Blackjack that needs love too, and the Wave 2 pack will add another three to that list. And that is just what is in my bays. T_T

The 3xSRM6 was more popular than the Sp yea even with crap SRM detection

eh, won't be based on my design, so nothing for me there, though I am hoping it very different than the old sketch alex made of it. Loved the crab in it, but the KGC well, hitboxes would suck on that one AND it looked....meh to me.

No you should try reading. The gesture is good; especially things like the KC.

Putting in content that didn't need to be taken out anyway... not so much.
