Hey all, new player here just finished the 25 rookie games playing by myself.

So far I have only used the trial banshee, here are some stats:

Maybe I have some aptitude for this? I obviously didn't get seal clubbed, in fact I think I was the one doing the clubbing here... I hope the level of competition will get higher then this.

But after those 25 games I only have like 13 million c-bills. That's all I get? I think that will only buy one mech and maybe a few upgrades, not too sure... So what mech do you think I should I buy now? I really like the large pulse laser.

Stormcrow or TBR if you want continued easy mode.

The real test is how comfy you can be in ELO Hell.

13 mill is about what you get for the cadet bonus...spend it wisely.

metamechs.com - as the name implies it has the current meta builds with the reasoning for running them.

Well, game could use less baddies, so it's nice to see.

They still haven't properly implemented a 'try any mech out before buying' system, so what you want boils down to your preferred weight class and weapons (something rather hard to find out in 25 games with only one mech).

It might be prudent to avoid clans due to their extreme cost, your c-bill rate is particularly low now.

Your elo will now get adjusted. Things will get interesting. 13 million gets you 2 to 3 light mechs, 2 mediums, or 1 heavy or assault. Figure out what you like to play, and buy 1 chassis, see how it goes. If you still like it, get more if the same line so you can skill up.

Please, stop with the misinformation. Clans cost no more than IS mechs once you fully kit out the IS mech with an XL engine, endo-steel, dhs, etc. You just pay it upfront instead of in the mechlab.

Yeah it seems like there is a lot out these out there. I don't need this game to be any easier right now though.

Not bad stats really, was that dropping solo in Puglandia or with a group? If solo, amazingly good stats.

I'd suggest using some of the other Trial Mechs for a bit, both IS and Clan, see how you like the different Classes and Factions and if you can do as well in them. You have a grand total of 3 hrs ingame so far, that's really not much, so try some other Trials for both Factions, see what you like. Check prices too, IS Mechs usually need to be upgraded which adds to the final cost, and then you've got modules as well.

It was all solo drops, I don't know anybody in the game yet. I checked off the 3 game mode buttons however I only got conquest once, and 8 times skirmish on Canyon! Is that supposed to happen? I know there are a few more maps then that.

Dont worry. These are the same people who will buy an IS mech because its "cheaper" and then throw a hissy fit that its not very good without the upgrades...
