Nothing like an event like this to encourage Founders to play their Founder's 'Mechs!!!!


AAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNDDDDDD then remember how terrible they are and go back to other 'Mechs.

Shrug I still like Forest Colony. My least favorite map is probably Mordor since I like to use weapons.

that just means you need to learn to manage heat, use Chainfire and you know... not stand in liquid magma.

It's a personal thing for me to never run a mech with under 1.2 heat efficiency, and Maps like Caustic (hot), Terra Therma (hotter) and Tourmaline (hottest) are why.

P.S. Terra Therma's only hotter than Tourmaline if you standing IN magma, for anyone who thinks otherwise.

It is a good idea to adopt a different method to rate your heat efficiency other than the number in the mechlab. I run many builds in the 1.1-1.2 range that are "cooler" than others that rate 1.3-1.45. It seems to not take dissipation into account as much as it should.

For example, two 'mechs rate 1.26. One gets that rating from having low heat generation weapons (SPLs and SRMs) but only has 16 DHS. The other has 23 DHS but has weapons that generate more heat (Laser vomit). I consider the 2nd build to be more efficient because builds like the former are awesome for a few alphas then you get stuck at the heat cap for quite some time as they do not cool off nearly as fast.

If you bought a Founder's package, you would have received a Founder's Mech.
Either a:
Jenner
Hunchback
Catapult
Atlas

Or all 4 depending on what package you purchased.

[TrevTheMan]

nope thats is where you are wrong if you bought the Veteran pack you got the MC, prem time, founders tag, and beta access if you got the Elite pack you got all of that and 1 founder mech and if you got the legandary pack you got all of that and all 4 founder mechs, so in terms if you got the Veteran pack like i did you just got ripped off

All Founders better choose Forest Colony... it was the first map we were given, it's only the right thing to do is make that the first map to revamp (with exception to River City changes posted) ...and bring back Glowing eyes on Atlas, and make one Clan Assault with glowing eyes as well for "balance"

The Glowing Eyes would belong to the Dire Wolf. Give it a Champion names Fenris and away you go.

So you were offered all 3 options at a cost of $40, $80 and $120 and you chose to go with the cheapest. Explain to me how you were ripped off again?

My mistake, it's been so long I thought it was similarly tiered to the current packs.

55k reached...

Damn, if I was a guy in PGI. I would be like
"Hey guys, they broke the 100%. Could we replace the 100% stuff with one with crack all over it and a panel with written "out of order" in it? Maybe even add some smoke?"

[Clownwarlord]

YEAH FOR FOUNDERS, what map you picking?

[Uncle Totty]

It would be nice to see the number of votes the maps are getting.

[Stormyblade]

This has been fun...dusted off each of my Founder 'mechs (I bought the Legendary pack) and gave them some time. That Founder Catapult got ganged by a swarm of lights and my 3 ML couldn't swat them away. I've done the best with my Founder Atlas but I'm nowhere close to the top 50. I did get all my challenges met, so that is something.

Ah well, this was/is still a fun event, and I still get to vote after it is over.

Oh, and how come I can't seem to find any place to activate my Founders tag ingame? I've tried logging out and re-logging several times and there's still no option. I am running the 64-bit version if that means anything.

You main page now has a Titles/Badges section. You can set your badges there much like you did for your title.

No.. It would go to the Executioner... It suits it better...

But, yes, Forest Colony gets my vote... As does Glowing Atlas/Executioner eyes!

[Duncan1dah0]

Good job Founders. What are you going to pick?

You'd be surprised how many people had the same issue. The tab is surprisingly well-hidden.

[Vashramire]

Love trying to do the event in my 4G and I keep getting Alpine with teams that want to poke beyond my max range. RNJesus strikes again.

How about we fix matchmaker instead?
