Heroes never came with mechbays when purchased with MC. If you buy on the gift store with real money you get a mech bay these days but imho you have to buy the base pack first. But those are no options for us anyway according to the rules.

I sit on 2693 MC currently and wait for a hero mech sale so I can finally ad the Yen-Lo-Wang to my stable, then I have them all.


By the way, I managed to get Ace of Spades in a 3 ERLL Cent, what a glorious mech that is

Yay for the Yen Lo. I learned a lot about shielding and skirmishing from my primary's Yen Lo experience. I suppose you could say I learned the "Yen Lo Way."

You're in luck on that upcoming sale, by the way. There's a 50% sale on heroes and champions every year on Thanksgiving weekend (in the US), along with a double XP event. You're sitting on enough MC to get your YLW in that sale, with enough left over for 2 full-price mechbays.

I won't hide that I'm a little envious. I'm hoping the Resistance 1 heroes get introduced sooner than Soon™

My 680GTX is just fine, did you overclock yours? Also, the card manufacturers usually put either too much or too little heatsink compound between the heatsink and the chips. Too much compound becomes an insulator and too little does not transfer heat effectively because it completely dries out. Also, your fan may be dead, so check that. But if you already ordered and upgrade, then great, but the 680 gtx is still one of the best cards ever.

Yes i love my 680 too. Great card. But its about time This thing is 3+ years old. It started with light graphic bugs/flickering, then kind of rubberbanding happend, recently it just crashed with blackscreens and weird sounds. I cleaned it every 2 weeks.

And Cathy, the smell definitely comes from the card, not my feet

After switching to the new 1070GTX i will check if i can renew the heatsink compound. Has anyone invented DHS for graphiccards yet? I would even take IS ones

You can setup a liquid cooling system in your PC, but it is a pain to setup and the components can be fairly expensive (also if you do it wrong you can ruin your PC).

[Mike McSullivan]

I have an liquid cooler for my CPU. works great .
Years ago, i "constructed" everything on my own. But im out of time, due to my job

back to topic:
You said, the Stockmech is a "standalone". Do you mean, its not allowed to buy 2 other variants of it, or is it?

Woohoo! It's about time.

The Halloween event was nicely profitable - two bays from the loot bags and another from a free Supply Crate opening. Unfortunately karma then struck: I somehow screwed up when moving cockpit items around and ended up with 500 MC burned on duplicate bling I still have enough for 3 bays in the sale, however, so that'll tide me through a while yet.

Darker's Adders are elited and moving towards mastery. At least I don't need to grind C-bills for the next part of the challenge!

Question

I have an account i play nothing but trials on. no buying or skill leveling of any mechs. at the moment this account has over 14 mil cbills, of which it has no use for. now would it be ok to join the WMC unit, deposit say 10 mil into the coffers plus recruitment costs then leave the unit and come back at a latter date rinse repeat. i know right now our coffers are in ok status (7.4 mil or about 3 recruits) but every cbill helps...

I did not anticipate for anyone to "pre-fund" a WMC account. Really though, Trials are not stock mechs and not as hard to play as a brand new, stock mech that you did not pick yourself, so I would have to say no.

For clarification: you are not trying to play with this account? Just using it to donate extra cbills to the unit?

yep this account will join donate cbills then leave. maybe to join donate then leave at a latter date. this account has no use for cbills as i only play trials. the donated cbills are for the unit coffers to help cover the cost of recruitment

Ed, I think that this would be ok, just to help keep funding the challenge, as long as he isn't entering an alt. as a challenge account. But, I will leave the final decision with you.

I want the Challenge to remain pure. Only Cbills earned by Challenge accounts should be donated to the Challenge coffers. I know that at the time that the Challenge was started, you did not have to pay Cbills to recruit CW members, so this is a problem...or "challenge" to overcome. My decision is still no.
