What do you even mean by laziness? Are you using words that you don't know the definition to?
Well, if either of you didn't take stuff so personal we wouldn't even have a problem right now. Regardless of how you got your Timber Wolf or your Stalker, I could give a ****. I call the crappy trial mechs, welfare mechs too. Now, since he got all bent out of shape about it, that's why I had such a garbage response to his butthurt. I'm well aware that you don't need to buy anything and I didn't realize people were so defensive and would automatically think I was calling them poor (it's ok to be poor, I'm poor) because they didn't drop cash on a Timber or a Clan package at all. Who cares?
When I referred to them as "Welfare Timbers" what I was implying is that there are going to be so many garbage, stock Timbers with 0 efficiencies unlocked OR people trying out random builds because they don't have a clue.
Hurry guys, let's make a scene and display our low self-esteem and reading comprehension skills. Lets also assume we know what the person means and jump to conclusions and then get mad when they have a ****** response to our poor attitude, instead of just asking what the person meant beforehand, so we decide how we should respond to what the person was saying and what context they were saying it.
I'll make sure I type out long paragraphs detailing every emotion I'm feeling and the context of what I type beforehand from now on, since the common first response from people is to get their panties in a wad.
Ummmm Yeah...... We need to learn to read? What you have suggested and Implied is just so false it's not even funny. If PGI was giving out 1 million C-bills to every pilot, every game, win or lose, no matter how you play than.... ummmm Yeah.. your "Welfare Timbers" would be a accurate statement. However..... even if they gave out that much per match played, it would still take 15 matches just for one of those "Welfare Timbers" as you put it. 46 matches for all three, and in fact would take even the best pilots at least 9.2 hours of game play to obtain them.
Seeing how most pilots right now are lucky to make even 900K a hour with PT, hero mech used every drop.... it would now jump that time up to around 50 hours of game play. Lets say 50% or more of the player base is only making 40-50% of that 900K every hour they play..... now they have to play 100-110 hours to EARN those 'WELFARE TIMBERS". Ummm yeah..... you are so right, there will be millions of those "Welfare Timbers" on the field.....because everyone can afford to pick them up since PGI is just giving them away like candy...
I am not even gonna go into the time it will take to master them all with the XP earnings....
No one is butt hurt or has their panties in a wad from your remark..... I think you just got called out for making a troll comment is all. It happens..... once again, thanks for being the problem, and not apart of the solution. Well done Sir
Back on topic....
As a pilot that has been playing for over a year now, I have only one Timber in my hanger, with only 13 other mechs, 3 of which are Hero mechs. I had to make a choice not to buy the other two Storm Crows right now, so I can master my prime, because of lack of C-bills. After playing god only knows how many hours to save up for the rest of my Crows... K-pow, Timbers got released for C-bills yesterday. I had 14 million saved, and had to sell off a few things in my inventory, (IS command module being one of them for only 500K, paid 1 million for it) so I could buy just ONE Timber.
To all that say or claim the Timber is Over powered I just do not see it. Is it a strong Heavy mech for the Clans....yes it is. Over powering.....IMO, no it isn't. I almost didn't even buy the Timbers after playing them fully mastered and on the test server. This is sad, because Timber wolfs is and has been one of my most loved mechs for over 25 years in the BT games that have come before this game. It just didn't seem to fit my play style at all. I have given it a second chance, and with my prime, 4 clan medium lasers and 4 Srm6 I can put down some decent damage in matches.... nothing to brag about, but decent. I tried 5 clan medium pulse lasers at first, with only 2 srm6's, but decided to blow the 1 million I made in the first hour of game play with the Timber last night on Omni pods, (the S side torso's).
Bad pilots come in all shapes and with all wallet sizes. I have seen in game pilots that have had Gold Timbers that could not pilot them worth a damn. They couldn't hit the broad side of a barn if they tried. One game this happened in the Golden Timber pilot was by some freak chance the last pilot standing on our team, and he was really really bad. One of the funniest and saddest games I think I have ever partaken in.
