So, how do you like your EXE now?

[El Bandito]

If only JJs were as addictive without being beneficial to the poptarts... Damn I miss CB sometimes.

I have to vehemently agree here.

Just finished speed tweaking my prime, and now 600-800 damage seems reasonable on a win.

Maneuver is so critical in MWO, and adding an active movement ability that you have to wisely micromanage has such a huge reward. I love awkward fast assaults and the SEXE is the new king.

Same for me.
CW drop deck: EXE, SCR, SCR, ADD

After the EXE is dead and I switch to a SCR, every time I wanna combat-maneauver, peak, etc., I catch myself thinking "damn, that SCR is SO sluggish compared to the EXE".

Damn you, MASC, for being so awesome.
Makes me even more h**** for the Shadow Cat

When and if IS MASC arrives to MWO, how will PGI balance its stats against its obviously superior Clan MASC, I wonder.

I been really bored of my mechs lately, I mean *really* bored, the only ones I play for past 2 months are ppc nova and spl nova... can I still ala carte the Exe? $55 seems like a lot, but good ******* grief what am I gonna just wait until September or something stupid? Anyone give me a yes or no on the ala carte for it working right now or is that all over..?

In what way are Clan MASCs superior?

I guess weight and slots.

They are a little lighter (e.g. 4t for 100t Mech vs. 5t for IS).
But PGI nerfed it down already by only giving 18.5% speed boost instead of 20% (not to mention the 25% it should actually give). However in MWO, the agility boost is more important than the speed boost, so I can very well live with that.

In this way they are self balancing because in MWO, higher classed MASCs actually give bigger bonus to speed. I guess this is PGI's idea on how to balance them.

funny how i kept feeling like i was the only one predicting the EXE was going to be as powerful or almost as powerful as the MW4 merc version... yet everyone kept calling yet another Gargoyle with hoverjets.....

almost a week after release.. you fill in the blanks

I didn't!
I always said the EXE won't be able to keep up with a DWF firepower-wise (obviously), but has an interesting combination of armor and mobility.

But it's true. Many people in here whined about it being "DOA". Some even insisted after they had been proven wrong.

Seriously, sometimes I feel like it's like this when new stuff arrive with the mechs.

Hit, I never said it was a bad mech. I said I was disappointed in it. The amount of locked gear and crappy torso twist are still a disappointment.

Sure looks like it. I was able to get "Buy" up on the screen.

I just might..! Prolly not, $55 big waste of money for a stupid mech, but... maybe..!

MASC looks kinda fun.
