Feel free to keep subsidizing poor development or don't. I know I won't.

Yet you continue to feel inclined to visit this piss-hole of a forum and bless us poor mis-guided souls with your never-ending education efforts and pearls of wisdom...

How were we poor miscreants blessed with such luck! :rolleyes:

I don't see the problem. It is the people's hobby which they love. Better than spending money on cigarettes or on Taylor Swift CDs etc

I remember 89 cent a gallon gas, and 2.50 movie tickets too.

What's that got to do with the real world of today?


Eh, I'm going to guess that posting with real account..would still be whiny brat, lol.



I'd have a tiny bit more respect for them, if they did.

When I saw my first Urbie in game I wanted to give him a big hug he was so cute.

The guy got a kill ,a couple of hundred damage and survived the match as well. Good work fellah!

I did have to kill one in my next match though - sorry!

Apparently people seem to be getting the wrong impression from my post.

I AM A FOOL FOR SPENDING $40 ON THESE MECHS.

I don't need the premium time and I could do without the cockpit items.

And before anyone starts saying I don't know how to fight a mech like this well,

I have bought 90 mechs in the nearly 2 years I've been playing.

I still own and have mastered 64 of them. 23 more were elited out before I sold them. 3 were basic before I decided that Catapults weren't for me.

I have mechs from every class and every type of mech. Brawler, support, sniper, LRM/SRM/SSRM boats, laser vomit, you name and I've got it and I do well in all of them.

What I am saying is that once I got these mechs in the garage and started playing with them it became very clear that they are not worth the $40 I paid for them. I am, in fact, so disappointed in them that after I receive the Wave III mechs I have coming I do not see myself buying anymore mechs in the future.

If you bought these mechs and love them then more power to you.

Anyone who bought the Urbie thinking it would be the next meta was delusional. Anyone who bought one as either something fun to kick around, or as a potentially lethal 'joke mech' is an excellent example of the human animal.

So... you are saying that buying the collectors pack, gifting my girlfriend the collectors pack, gifting my brother the collectors pack and gifting a buddy the collectors pack was the bestest idea this year?!?


Where was my collector's pack gift?

Also despite it's ridiculous stock slowness the urbie is a quite a bit of fun, deceptively strong armored because its easy to spread that damage out.

I did hate the shape that urbi come in but after few tweaking :

Engine switch to a 155
Remplace the big gun for machine gun
Small laser for med one.

It have some serious potential for a close in mech

Some 'Mechs don't work for everyone. Win or loose I've been posting at least one kill every match in my R63. Having lots of fun and can be surprisingly aggressive in the wee beastie as long as I do not do anything too foolhardy. Really good line float 'Mech. Look for bigger 'Mechs who need backup, show up, shed anything with exposed internals, and repeat.
