So my friend gifted me the urban mech bundle..... Spent almost a week eliteing them out, sold the 2 urbies I would never use and kept my one elited urbie that I do really well with. Love me some laser vomiters decided to buy a hunchback 4p. I hated it, meant to sell the hunchback but sold the urbie instead.[redacted]

Message support. They are very helpful and often times do a one time reversal, for mistakes such as this. They will probably restore your lost mech, and inform you to be VERY careful about future mech selling deals.

It may take a while though, they are backed up last I knew. Don't be surprised if it takes them a few days (or a week) to respond. Be patient.

Ok so I tried going into the support tab to submit my problem, I cannot enter any of the links they have.

Create a support ticket by sending it to accounts@mwomercs.com and explain to the the error of your ways. They will consider it as long as you include an Oracle.

Oh, and btw, u need to send an email, not click on the "links"

[bad arcade kitty]

as they said you can try to contact the support and explain them this

also never sell anything, selling stuff and then re-buying when you realize you need it again hits your c-bill earnings hard

Try contacting MWO support, and see if they could revert it.

In the mean time, we can help you make the most out of the HBK-4P. It's a solid mech that can do some serious damage once you get the hang of it.

E-mail Account@mwomercs.com and general@mwomercs.com asking them to help you get back your Urbie, that you accidentally sold.

Be warned, it takes them an average of 8 days to resolve an issue (I haven't needed their help with something like that, but I contact moderation for reporting players, and that usually is handled quickly).

While you wait, how about telling us what it is you have on your HBK?

I recommend something like this (armor placement is accurate to what you should have):

HBK-4P Meltinator

I assume you are unfamiliar with Ghost heat?

Explanation in Spoiler:

Spoiler

Ghost heat is a system that triggers when too many of one weapon are fired at the same time. With Medium Lasers it triggers once a 7th ML is fired within 0.5 seconds of the 6th. So on that hunchback, if you fire 6 MLs you generate 24 heat. If you fire a 7th with 0.5 seconds of the previous six you generate a total of 31.20 heat, instead of 28.

It takes some trigger discipline, and learning when to shoot how many weapons, but it's not as big an obstacle as it may seem. After all, as soon as 0.5 seconds are gone, you can fire more Medium lasers without penalty.

You don't go to the links. Those are e-mail addresses. E-mail account, and General.

Once you get the Hunchy, or any mech for that matter, fully elited it becomes much easier to and more enjoyable to drive.

Just a question for you though, did you master the Urbies all the way, or stop once the one you wanted was fully elited?

Why would you give up on a mech before eliting it.. Out of all the HBK's this one needs elites the most.. It runs hot, but has lots of different builds that work, and is considered one of the better energy boats in the game.

Don't sell mechs.

It's a shame that everyone goes around impatiently expecting to use every mech they own at full effectiveness on their first run. This is part of what PGI actually did right with MWO: the subtle differences in handling, geometry, weapon position, and other little effects make each mech unique and really make a difference in matches. The flexibility of the mechlab means you will almost certainly not have a fully optimized build on your first try. So try it again!

Also, don't sell mechs.

[Nightmare1]

You didn't like the HBK-4P?

Dude, that's one of the most fun Mechs in the game!

The other posters appear to have you covered on Support. Just e-mail them, politely describe the situation, and then wait patiently. I've had nothing but good experiences with Support and am confident that they'll do right by you.

If you like Laser boats, you do the Urbies roughly like this.
R60 - 2LL, max engine, fill leftover tonnage how you want (MGs, heat sinks, AMS, whatever)
R60L - 3LL, max engine, fill leftover tonnage how you want (MGs, heat sinks, AMS, whatever)
R63 - 2LL, ML or MPL, max engine, fill leftover tonnage how you want (MGs, heat sinks, AMS, whatever), you could do 3LL but it does not handle heat like the R60L.

Hunchback-4P has several different builds going for it.
