So I think the what mech challenge hates me, as I got panthers (which I actually like but never did especially well in) and then victors (which I never did well in). Ah well a challenge is a challenge, so I will be giving it a go anyway.

Opalescent Death - Proud pilot of panthers and victors (shudder), will be joining the challenge as soon as I earn enough cbills to actually build a workable panther.

Why couldn't I have chosen something like a hunchback or even a cataphract?


Welcome! You are really not supposed to take the test for your BONUS mech until after you have completely mastered your original Challenge mechs, but others have been too curious and took the test prematurely as well, so no big deal.

Despite trying my hardest:

I have an amazing .20 W/L with my CN9-AH

I need to git gud I guess Posted Image

(Yeah, I know for real, if 400+ is my measure for good I am not. . . but I am a tier 4 you can only expect so much from me)

Yeah, in the current meta, I find the AH hard to do great in, too, despite CN9s being one of my major preferences.

Yeah, the current meta, at least for Tier 4-5 is LURM-WARRIOR ONLINE again and the AH does not do well in that situation. On the brightside (for IS at least) most IS makes can survive ranged sniping long enough to get into brawling range where their OP quirks really shine.

can't really agree.

Just had another 1000 dmg 5 kill match in my warhawk earlier. UAC20 + 2xERPPC ftw.

And clans have been holding their own in CW.

D.

Definitely the D.

Better quirks, better engine capability. my CN9-D is an all out beast, with a 300xl, AC10, 2x·RM4 and 2x ML. Really nothing the A can do that the D can't do better.

Kay. You do know the point of the challenge is to start a new acct and start those mechs from scratch, yes?

We always welcome new Challengers, but please read the OP and make sure that you understand how this challenge works.

I keep playing my Clan mechs though, even though they frustrate me, because I will not let the IS win this if I can help it! Maybe I will like them better today, I was pretty sick and tired last night and generally in a bad mood.

A very interesting idea.


Right, well, I'm game.

According to the questionnaire, I'm a.... Cataphract.

I find this exceptionally interesting because that was the third 'mech I picked up for MWO (following Cicada and Quickdraws).

Pilot Name: The Phracts of Life

Let's do.

Nope unfortunately the locust isn't on there. You only have Commandos, Ravens, and Panthers for light mechs.

Once you create your account post your pilot name back here and we will get a unit invitation sent out. . . Perhaps Iwannalocust?

Huh...got Centurions...already had mastered them on my main account and while I enjoyed them at the time, didn't really feel like going down that path again, so tried the test a second time with slightly different responses and got Centurions again -- guess I'm destined! Will post pilot name when I think of one.
