Just watched the Twitch replays. What is with 4 of the videos showing nothing but those strange wait screens? What is that weird overlay with DRONE ID in the top right and that strange center thing? What teams are TFIW & ZURS?

Got outtonned and outgunned. Was there rules about how much ECM could be brought? Seems weight class rules of some kind were in effect. Second match video, the video quality of the TEAM 1 and TEAM 2 boxes were bad, could not tell what Mechs were used until end of match.

I see even PGI has the problem with Mech IDs missing in matches. Figure I can stop sending in reports on those then.

Well, they tried bringing non-meta Mechs to a meta fight. Except for the HPG fight that appeared to be a Medium/Light brawl, PGI tactics were Find a Spot and Camp, odd considering when I run into them in matches they don't play like that and it is a known losing strategy most of the time.

Have a look here:

The odd screen is only an overlay which was in place while waiting.
Between the matches there is a break, where both teams have time to switch 'Mechs and Pilots, maybe change a loadout and make a quick counceling about the next round. For this time the stream didn't show anything, because your opponents could hear all about your tactics

Every (non Hero/Champion) Mech becomes eligible for MRBC in the match week following the one in which it first becomes available for C-Bills.
Example: If a Mech becomes available for C-Bills during match week 1, that would mean it becomes eligible with the start of match week 2.

Hero, Champion and the 4 Founder Mechs are allowed.

The following list contains estimated release dates of mechs and when they are scheduled to become available for MRBC - if PGI changes these dates the list below may change accordingly.

IS-mechs:
Wolfhound all variants (December 15th for C-Bills, available in MRBC Dec 21st)
Crab all variants (January 5th for C-Bills, available in MRBC Jan 11th)
Black Knight all variants (January 19th for C-Bills, available in MRBC Jan 25th)
Mauler all variants (February 2nd for C-Bills, available in MRBC Feb 8th)
Urbanmech - No C-bills-date from PGI as of yet so not available in MRBC
Cicada CDA-3F - No C-bills-date from PGI as of yet so not available in MRBC
Wolverine WVR-7D - No C-bills-date from PGI as of yet so not available in MRBC
Zeus ZEU-9S2 - No C-bills-date from PGI as of yet so not available in MRBC
Maurauder - No C-bills-date from PGI as of yet so not available in MRBC
Warhammer - No C-bills-date from PGI as of yet so not available in MRBC

Clan-mechs:
Shadow Cat all variants (October 6th for C-Bills, available in MRBC Oct 12th)
Arctic Cheetah all variants (October 20th for C-Bills, available in MRBC Oct 26th)
Nova NVA-D - No C-bills-date from PGI as of yet so not available in MRBC
Executioner EXE-C - No C-bills-date from PGI as of yet so not available in MRBC

Drops may be forfeited for reasons including, but not limited to:
- Using an ineligible player
- Using an ineligible Mech
- Showing up more than 30 minutes late to the agreed time
- Taking more than 15 minutes in-between drops
- Not showing up for the fallback date

Consequences:
If a single drop is forfeited by a team, then the non-forfeiting team gets all C-Bills for that drop, including all bonuses (that also includes the full bonus for handing in a recording of that drop).
If a complete match is forfeited by a team, then the non-forfeiting team gets all C-Bills for all 5 drops of the match including all bonuses (that also includes the full bonuses for handing in recordings of all 5 drops).

The final decision rests with the referees.

This is part of the reason why I just stay in public cue.

Anyway good to see PGI participate. Didn't watch much of it though as it already mirrors every attempt I try at playing CW but shorter and more isolated.

Thanks to DudesClub for the matches, this was rad fun.

Many of us are decent individual performers, but we definitely need to work on our coordination as a team.

Just very happy you guys/gal participated. Like to see more of it if you can manage.

******* had a few real games, and now use their enormous experience to re-balancing. Gr8.

[Raubwurst]

That is a sad thing to believe...
But it dosen't matter what they do, there are always people complaining... "They never played >real< games, how can they make a rebalance?" And when they are competong in a league people are saying they would only rely on this little piece of experience for the rebalance... sorry, but if you have so little faith in PGI, please consider playing another game.
