Yeah I know the feeling. I really wanted to buy wave 3 but there was zero chance of coming up with the cash for that. I'm trying to save up for the next IS pack though. That should be fun.


Yeah, I was looking at it all thinking, "Hmm...I can only afford one pack. Which to get?" I went with Resistance. In hindsight, I really wish that I hadn't bought Wave I because I would like to have saved that money to get Waves II and III. I think they were better packs overall. :(

It is going to be tough to get matches with the Urbie :( Will have to take it into CW. Will have to take 3 and then just save the last mech for speed and take a King Crab.

The incessant "whining" about how long the Heavy queue wait times were will be surely missed by all. LOL! ;)

P.S. Beer Fridge check...AOK!

Yeah, a while back I realized that everytime a new Mech premiered, it got played so hard that you just couldn't get into the queue. So, I started doing the opposite. For example, when the Resistance Mechs came out, I waited for the Zeus and Grasshopper to hit the game before trying to level my Enforcers and Panthers. That way, the pressure was gone from those two queues enabling me to actually play those Mechs. :)

Tonight will likely be one of the most entertaining nights in all my time playing MWO.

Any votes on how high the light mech queue will be today? I'm betting 60%.


Oh ****! It's Tuesday! All hail the Urbie!

So I take it now is the proper time for running dual-gauss Jager and King Crab builds, to prey on the hordes of Urbanmechs slowly trundling through your kill zones?

Still patching. i hope i do get the urbs immediately as well. I couldn't bear the party starting without me so I bought them like 4 hours ago.

PS: If you see my any time today, expect a stock urbie just around every corner. It'll be glorious.

Lesson #1: The stock urbie is a natural predator that prefers to stalk tis prey with patience, waiting for the right moment to strike. This makes it rather unfit for competing in NASCAR.
