Just finished the cadet drops and made enough cbills to buy and Super Stock both the VTR 9S and 9K with a few 100k left for wine women and song. i guess now the real grind starts, need almost 10m to buy buy and SS the VTR 9B. with no PT left the grind is real. so if you see a VTR singing in the street be kind and put a cbill in the cup,

Brother can you spare some Cbills???

bro, I done did that before the last 2 events so I feel your pain..only got PT and boosts for the last mech. That did help me by a XL 360, too though.

I like the thought of an Unseen for pt 3. But perhaps, it should be one voted on by peers or such, so we don't just grab our kneejerk favorites?


Once we get a better idea of how many unseen mechs PGI is going to launch in the near future and which ones, we can vote on it. We will also need to take into account the Cbill release date for the unseen mechs as well.

On a side note: I will probably play some MWO again this weekend if I am still in my current state of mind.

Bahaha!

Yep, realizing that XLs are ONE thing that I DON'T have to buy to trick out fresh Atlas mechs, is a bit of salve on the old wallet-burn.

Glad you like Ravens, but read the OP, you need to start out fresh if you want to join the Challenge.

Welcome, I am taking a break this week, but Caesar should be able to get you into the unit.

Looks like it is going to be time to choose the next House we will contract with soon, start posting your choices.

Mastered RND2-Thunderbolts through the event. So stats cant be shown -.-. They are completely useless (the stats, not the mechs^^). In "Quickplays" i usually s*ck. So my K/D is mostly around 1,1 for all 3 variants. Would be nice if we get some CW stats in the future.

Like I had pondered before, I will refocus on my What Mech Challenge account primarily, since paradoxically, this challenge does not irritate me as much as other aspects of MWO. :-)

I think I will post something about this challenge on Steam (when I get a chance) since this Challenge would be a great way for new players to test-drive MWO.

Also, I am going to work on making forum sigs for our Challenge account profiles and I will try harder to get around to getting us a spot on the NGNG TS server, for Challengers who can't get their in-game comms to work properly.

OK, updated and cleaned up the OP, will add some graphics eventually (need to renew my Photoshop license). I played a few games tonight (on my Challenge account), won one and lost two; I got at least one kill in each game though!

Not a build that I ever ran, but might be OK.

It is a lesser version of my Griffin 2s, but with the srm buff I have really liked the way they are working. I really need to just save for the xl275 and go with a 2 LPL 2 ml or mpl but I need something to earn those cbills :D

I am a firm believer in the Zombie Centurion, my AL was 2 LL and 2 ML w/ standard 275 and tons of upgrades, no ammo that can explode anywhere!
