Welcome to the Challenge!

Yep it's still going. A bit slower for me right now, haven't made it past the AS7-RS just yet. Got about 6.5mil in pocket, so getting close to 2nd variant.

Main - cabusha
Alt for challenge - cabusha2
First mech - Atlas

I have a new, personal challenge just for myself. I am going to re-buy every mech that I have sold from the pre order packs that I have bought! I will have to grind an insane amount of Cbills to reach my goal.

[Caesar Octavius]

Wow, I have a .52 w/l right now. I really need to learn to carry harder with a centurion. .87 KDR so my stats are going the wrong way

The Christmas event should be coming up, which will help relieve some of the grind.

You really are a glutton for punishment mastering commandos wasn't hard enough, eh?

I will be doing both still. Commandos are almost done at least. :-)

The one thing you are missin out on, though, is the TDK. It is hands down the best commando and a blast to pilot!

Who knows, if I earn enough MC from in-game events between now and the BATTLETECH release, I might be able to buy it.

Did any Challengers make it to the Steam Launch Party? If so, give a shout out to the What MECH Challenge!

That would be awesome! Unfortunately, I am still here in Pennsylvania waiting to see if any good announcements are made at the party.

It feels really weird down in Tier 4. I swear I could do stuff that no sane person up in Tier 2 (my main account's home) would ever do. Bad builds, poor aim, poor focus fire... oh well, I am clubbing newbies and casuals after all. I have nothing against them, really, just a bit bored.

Anyways, progress report on the Centurions, my Cent-AH is serving me frighteningly well, especially today. Surprisingly so, too... the first time I used it, I died horribly twice. W/L is 9 / 7 = 1.29, K/D is 40 / 9 = 4.44. Build is MetaMechs XL 255, AC20, 3 SRM4, the recent changes really boosted the SRMs from somewhat trashy to actually a huge threat (IS SRM4 even w/o Artemis feels pinpoint enough already)

I don't want to let go of it, but I have to take on the A soon... /bragging (sorry!)

as i have been just getting CT cored in the 1st min or so i am going to my main and play with my AC20 MAD

[Blake Speare]

Finished my Cadet matches, and now Mr. Speare has his forum voice!

Also, about 5 million in the bank towards my 2nd Atlas...what's that old song?

"The Long and Grinding Road"?

[A Thermonuclear Warhead]

On an unbasic'd RVN-4X. I think it's fairly good!

For some reason on my main I have been having really good rounds. Not so much on the WMC

It is because of all the new players at tier 4 / 5.

The funny thing is that I am a legitimate tier 4 scrub (but hey I had to work hard to get out of tier 5...). So I am seeing the same players in both accounts, I just always lose (well literally 2/3 of the time) on the WMC and I am doing just fine on my main, but then again centurions just can't carry like a locust

Ps. I don't mean for this to sound whiny, it is just an observation I felt like sharing.

P.p.s. From anecdotal experience there are a ton of new players from steam. I haven't asked everyone but lots of (c) and 3pv drones and odd builds, so congrats on what looks like a successful steam launch to PGI
