Actively build a friend base of players outside of the in-game systems.

[Joseph Mallan]

How simple Online players want their games to be.

[TercieI]

The Meta Tryhards ™ are right and the "Any mech can work" crowd are wrong.

Man, I spent months in bad mechs, builds and weapons because of the kumbaya crowd in New Players.

[ShinobiHunter]

I'd tell myself two things: never sell mechs. And stay away from that bloody Victor trial mech.

[BattleBunny]

"Taking damage is a skill"

I played for a good long while hiding a lot and running away trying to live. It took a long time before I saw that "collective aggression" is a beautiful thing...

[InspectorG]

Dont use Commandos exclusively out of Nostalgia.

[GRiPSViGiL]

I wish I knew PGI didn't have the skills to make CW viable or a skill tree.

[SplashDown]

that clan mechs would be so under powered compared to IS mechs

You disappoint me.

that they would eventually remove imperfect convergence and stick us with this lame "Aiming for Dummies" easy aim system we have for mass precision focus fire.

Since about 90% of your "balance" issues can be traced directly to how easy it is to mass alpha fire to any location you want.

in an attempt to stay constructive and non hostile ill go with this, word for word

[kapusta11]

What a huge waste of time it will become.

[Deathlike]

The funny thing is that if you see the list of complaints, half of them are economy related (well, the spending of C-bills).

No, no, it's the pilot not the mech! You just have to play it different, it's totally dependent on preferences only! I can assure you that no mech or weapon has a decisive advantage over any other, and that all of them are viable!

Please keep it constructive - this isn't intended to be a thread to discuss PGI's business strategies or how you feel about past purchases, etc. It's to go back to your day one mech pilot self and give a single piece of advice. Something along the lines of "The heaviest most expensive mech isn't necessarily the best."

So - whatcha got?

Submissions so far
Torgun: Farm CBills and farm it hard
Deathlike: XL Engines are crazy expensive
Kira Onime: GHOST HEAT
Burktross: This game isn't as easy as MW4
Bishop Steiner: Eventually aiming will be too easy
WARKHAN: How different it is from Mechwarrior 4.
El Bandito: Will regret purchasing all those lbx
cdlord: F2P is going to be expensive
Brody319: Don't waste money on Catapult a1 or trebuchets
Mcgral18: Check your armor when you buy a new mech (this is a good one! -Fiero)
Fierostetz: Get a gaming mouse
FrontGuard: you can have long usernames
JC Daxion: The xl-210 that comes with a raven 3l works great in the commando
Tyler Valentine: Money is hard to come by. Purchase mechs carefully.
Zeroaimer: Don't buy Orions
The Atlas Overlord: The money you spend upgrading a mech won't be recouped when you sell it.
fat4eyes: Assault mechs are not the best mechs for newbies.
Kubernetes: A hollow triangle means you can see it but nobody else does. Push R to help the team.
Pjwned: Wish I'd bought a light mech first. Would have learned the game properly.
Dimento Graven: Gaming mice and keyboards are surprisingly brittle and fragile
FupDup: Or headsets!
TLBFestus: If I'd known what ghost heat and quirks would have done I'd not have supported either.
Team Chevy86: But Endo, not FF
illudium q 36: Wish I had understood the delta in skill levels between new and veterans.

You will need to buy 3 different mechs of the same chassis to unlock all of that mech's skill perks, so spend wisely and plan effective builds ahead of time.

QFT. "Like" wasn't enough. That's a huge one that so many players just don't get, new or old.

Oh, I still play stupid stuff, I just do it eyes wide open now.

[Roosterfish]

Bigger is better.

Ghost Heat and Quirks fix everything.

That the Milkway Galaxy can be reduced to 12 maps played over and over and over....

have to keep that tier 1 badge shiny.....

[Uncl Munkeh]

For the love of all that is holy, Torso Twist like you mean it.

[DaFrog]

That PGI would implement quirks to keep crappy players in the game.

[Uncl Munkeh]

Play with at team and play with yourself. Pugging is not a team, it's a bunch of people playing with themselves.
