There was alot of incentive in WoT to milk your stats. Basically good stats meant you could get into good clans which meant free gold.

Theres no pay to win gold ammo equivilent here though so any MWO clan based war should at least minimise that tendency since you do not have to pay 10 cents per shot if your clan has no land/resources.

That's really a nice theory but eventually clan activity will give you CB.... the in game resource. I don't think it will be any different in terms of competition for clans. If the planets aren't lucrative no one will go after them. And since they will be that means that clans will want the best pilots to make sure they take and hold the land.

Quick speculative example... if a planet is worth 12 million per day wouldn't you want to fight for it? Everyone on the team gets a 1 million CB boost for a single 15 minute fight. There's no way you are going to get 1 million by playing 1 game during any other part of the day (maybe a few hundred thousand at best). It's not the same as mech credits... but literally it will be turning your time into money. BTW the top 2 founder packs give you $80 in mech credits in case I lost you there. You can turn those into CB premium and mech slots presumably.

That sounds like a reasonable explanation. And I do hope you're right.

But for now, I must be going. Time for whisky and steak.

Of course, but for any clan not getting free CB or whatever they will not have to pay real money vs entrenched clans that have gold everything. You will still have your top clans and the like and probably some of the same problems if they get defeated. SOme clans tried claming that you didn't need gold anyhting in WoT clan wars but I fought a few of those clans and watched them bounce shots while gold ammo mowed them down.

My name in MWO is Buck Rogers, yo.

My name in WoT is Buck_Rogers, yo.

4681 battes. 5128 tanks destroyed. 54% victory ratio. Ace Tanker status in my 6 favorite tanks. 65 Top Guns, 25 Confederates, 19 steel walls, 97 Sniper achievements. Highest tier tank is a Pershing, but I'm most of the way towards getting my Patton.

100% Random Battles. Never done clan wars or even gone out with a buddy.z

Edit: I'm well aware stats can be a joke, and can be a silly way of gauging competency. They can be useful though.

Personally I hated gold ammo. I used it because it was there though as clan wars required it.

Good timing for Founder's Release, I feel like 7.5 is going to kill the game.

Power creep? 7.4 was bad for me. Gamemodes were alright in TCs, awful in pubs, lag, crashes etc. Alot less rage and frustraiton over the last 3 days. Still I wanted to grind the tier 10s out and I got the paton, E50 and Stug E100 done and 60-70k+ on the others and 20 million credits grinded.

Well I dont hate gold rounds or love them...But I do use them for any clan battle and company battles...as I do not pay anything for them. Its good to be in gold making clan, but unfortunatley it not a level playing field because of it.

Will be nice to be playing a game where the only advantage I will have is running a founders mech and earn some extra cbills. Thank goodness there is no plans of gold ammo for gauss or ac20's and the likes...!

Making friends already eh zard?

And I shouldn't need to add anything else to my name to show who I am in wot.

Yup, another elite forum warrior makes his entrance..

Btw someone with some artistic talent really needs to make up some mech themed avatars like we had tank themed one over in wot.

I kid you not! That's the perfect example of the power creep that's getting out of control over there at WoT. I'll stick with MWO.

What's funnier is the new tier X medium runs around with the 260+ pen guns.

Oh Yeah!!!!!

[Riceygringo]

Hi Zard, great to see you here. WoT: Riceygringo (PBKAC)

Still deciding on whether I should look into this game, I'm kind of reluctant to get into another MechWarrior game after the disaster that was MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf.

Anyone explain to me how this game would be awesome?

Google up the mechwarrior 4 mercenarys free download and install it.

Play around with it and see if you like it.

If so then apparently this game is going to be very similar to that only with all humans instead of ai.

Well also vastly improved graphics etc etc but thats kinda a given.
