Heya all. Saw MOW and loved it . Dont know how did i manage to miss it and i lament my lost founders. (actually , just like i missed the NS2 ... Getting old prbbl ) Got a bee in my bonnet on a friday evening that i need to play ASAP. Bought digital PC gamer magazine for the code , heh. A few runs of the last weekend of closed beta prepared me for what to expect. Also scaning youtube i realised , MWO is NOT an FPS. Hawken is. MWO is more tactics / semi simulator. Came from work on monday and played untill 1 AM with the echo of Sandy rattling the windows. So its about 7 hours all in i put in it. Now with premium activated and Wang as a primary making bills is easy. Even though i was on a losing team 75%-80% of the time. Pug stomp is indeed in effect. All new lone wolf players who have some money and want to avoid the pain, IMO premium acc is the only way AT THE MOMENT. My biggest concern with the game at the moment is very frequent DCs and inability to join the battle u got DCed from. That is all. =)

PS Just to stress the point. NOT A SHOOTER PPL!! Move in groups , use cover. Also its not like u have to shoot every second u see the enemy or every enemy u see. Predict the movement and think. If u know that walking out of that cover will give u a few shots on several enemies ur buddys are pelting at - weight it against that pesky Jenny thats moving and biting ur team mates ATLAS. Stay in cover from the obvious front and cover HIS back. Worth it =) If only for the Jenners rage.

Ninja edit . Id actually add one more thing. 3 000 000 mil mech to buy , only 300 000 to sell. IMO 10% is bad design. Making some bad purchase choices can bite hard =)

Welcome to the game. Glad you enjoy it!

I've seen DC's happen for a number of reasons but most seem to be stemmed from memory issues. How much ram do you have on your machine?

Nicely put, although Jenner pilots don't rage. We troll ;)

Sidenote:
Before last patch some days ago I really rarely crashed, maybe 1 out 200 games.
Since last patch I crash 1 out of 10 games.

-> My point: It is an issue atm but will be soon fixed.
-> No worries.

Thank you for your input. I hope this goes towards breaking the "New players will hate this game" idea SOME people have in their heads.

Gaming machine. 12 gigs of RAM. Doubt its hardware related. My experience ATM is very similar to Ragors. 1 in 10 , 1 in 8 ...

I had 2 to 3 CTDs today. Which is kinda weird but I hope PGI fixes it along with Phase 1.

A long range AC20 into the Jenny who almost had a friendly ATLAS made him swear =)) 2 shots and puff.

You seem like just the type of person we want in House Marik - interested in joining a house? You can join the main House and take your time deciding on which unit is the best fit. ;)

Ty Brynstar for invite, but I need to read up on the Battletech lore first. I remember reading a book or 2 when i was a kid. Clan related books though , not inner sphere.
