Aaaaannnnnndddddddd...... I'm done. Once the "Drop Bear" gets here. I have no idea what I am going to do in this game. What does a Poke-mech master do when he catches them all? I have a hard time as it is making sure all my pets get their exercise. So I can't in good conscience buy any more. I would be sad to see one of my poor little metal men, staring at me with there big ole sensors from their dusty mech bays.

Well... Maybe PGI will feed this whale with something besides mech packs.

Play mech roulette.

Pick a mech to play, when you die, then switch to the mech that killed you, and play it till you die, then switch again. :D

once you have all da mechs you need to achieve top rank on all factions of CW....until a new chassis or variant releases :P!

and there's always the search for the impossible "Death Star" (unless you took advantage of the "situation" when it happened before)

Well you could master them all, without using gxp.

Play each mech until you full outfit it with your favorite loadout + modules. (have fun, test new xl engine sizes, also strip them and start from scratch)

I usually just randomly pick first win mechs on ones that aren't mastered, play until I win then do another. If you have them all mastered I guess it would just be an exercise in practicing different mech styles.

Try to get all the mechs have positive WLR and KDR. You may have caught them, but have you truly mastered them? Now that's something to brag about. Unless you play group-queue and get carried by good teams.

And try to have positive WLR on all maps.

Why would they when you show that you will be a shill for more mech packs? Great job doing your part to help them keep this a minimally viable product.

Add some freaking ground vehicles, Demolishers, Manticores and Hovercraft and watch this place blow up.
The Limited vision of PGI just astounds me.

Take a break. Get rusty on this game and have to learn the mechanics alll over again :)

Though TBH, just play something else for now if nothing else here interests you, I recommend Rust, it's quite the game to play.

170? You have another 110ish cbill mechs to still buy and master. You're a long ways away from beating the game.

Do what I did: Get fixated on the idea that you only prefer to play only a few mechs. Sell all of the rest. Then realize that your urge to collect is greater than your urge to focus, and then buy them all back. Not only will you gain a new appreciation for the mechs you once thought you didn't like playing, but the utter stupidity of what you have done will be a constant reminder that no matter how good you are and how many mechs you have, you are still something of an idiot (at least when it comes to this game).

Edit: I sold all but 19 when I was at about 70-ish. I'm up to a 114 now, and every time I master a set, I buy another. Victors are next on the list. 117 here I come!

Its funny how when you got nothing... you want it all.
Once you got everything.... you are bored.

But I'm pretty sure there will be more mechs coming for you to spend $$$$ on.

Originally I just bought the mechs I enjoyed, then last Summer I decided to get "mastery" of three variants of every Inner Sphere chassis (I'm just not a Clanner mech fan). My game time has been cut down but that's generally what I am up to when a challenge weekend isn't going on. I usually keep my favourite variant for each chassis, sometimes two variants, rarely three. Currently I'm slogging my way through the Maulers then it's back to finishing off the heavy mechs as they are released for c-bills. I'll pay for medium mechs but I just can't get excited about heavies and assaults. Posted Image

Do you really need skinner box type rewards to keep you playing?

I mean... shooting big stompy mechs is always fun.
