H has always been MEH, IMO. What build are you using?
(For note, the current holy trinity of HBKs is 4G, 4J and 4P)

5ml and AC10, it's not the build it's the matches I find myself in. that particular mech seems to be a derp magnet lol. Nowt wrong with the mech-just the quality of the matches in it^^

the 5 MLs combined with the AC10s rof also tends to run too hot for being able to work great in a furball if things do go south.

Got a good game in with my Commandos tonight, almost 3K xp! Also, added the CHALLENGER BONUS 2 MASTERED rank to the unit, so please let me or 3x know if you have completed any stages of the challenge, so we can promote you to the appropriate rank. BONUS ranks have officer chat privileges (if enough of us are ever on at once for that to make a difference)!

You mastered them very quickly, you should have some pointers. :-)

Alright, faction choosing time again. I think we are down to Marik, Liao, or Steiner.

i think for faction play, to keep it simple, as we are just jumping every 7 days, just goto the next in the list. once we come to the end back to the front and do it again.

ie in faction play they are listed Davion, Kurita, Lioa, Marik, FRR, Steiner. so we do D, K, L, M, F, S repeat. seeing as how we are just farming rewards. maybe just set a time like today or what ever. so once every 5 weeks for the next 70 weeks or so we will be able to work on the list of each faction. each faction will have about 90 days of possible play, so no reason not to collect 3, 4, 5, or more free (well grind) mechbays

So, I've finished mastering my 3 variants of the Grasshopper Posted Image

Posted Image

The 5H was really quick because I got very lucky in one match: 981 damage, 8 kills and 4 assists, 1st victory of the day which totalled 11kXP Posted Image I already had it fully Elite'd it at the time, so it was a great speed-boost in mastering it. Posted Image

Did the Quiz a second time on the same day that I did the first, got the Commando. Posted Image
Just bought the 2D and fully loaded it, won't be new to me since I have them fully mastered in my main account. Posted Image
Will be going with it until it's fully Basic'ed and with, at least, 43kXP to cover Elite and Master. Whenever (WM) joins a faction, and since now that I have 4 challenge mechs, I do believe it's ok to participate in CW to get the mechbays and proceed along with the Challenge. Posted Image

Though, truth be told, I'm somewhat eager to get the COM's done so I can tackle the big challenge for me: to master three variants of the Summoner. Posted Image

You are free to drop in CW anytime As long as you take at least one of your mechs in your drop deck. I will pick up a faction next time I log in, probably Liao.

I like Loopala's idea of just rotating through all the factions. How do you guys feel about it, or do you prefer voting each time?
