Why no Tempest?

And what is top dog not even sure I heard of it.

Im guessing because the Tempest isn't available for MC yet? Same with the Spirit Bear

Legend-Killer is incredibly fun with its LB-10X quirks. Bounty Hunter II also works really well as a mini-Misery, with 6 medium lasers, AC20, and jumpjets.

Btw, this announcement lacks some order. All Classes are kinda mixed up and my ocd starts kicking in seeing the oxide right next to a jester or a grid iron.

It's the exact order the hero mechs were released the first time.

Sorry Koniving, but I found this response really funny.

I find it to be a mix of irony with a dash of fairly understandable ignorance (there's plenty who by some miracle haven't seen my name despite the frequency of my posts helping new players.

That's understood but it's less than two weeks away for MC. Shame this couldn't wait til then.

15,000 plus posts...and years playing the game and no clue how things work yet? Wow...just...wow.

Pat. Pat. It's okay.

Anyway, in all seriousness I haven't seen or heard anything about the Top Dog or seen it in game. Though having looked it up, I can see why I haven't seen it in game (laser vomit isn't as good if it isn't clan laser vomit). Was there even an announcement?

[Desintegrator]

Nice sale - 50% off is fine...

[Big Tin Man]

So as for everyone chasing the hero meta...

The point is not to be catching up to the meta, the point is to predicting the FUTURE OF META. This begs the question, after the next patch with rescaling who will be the meta hero king?

Will the Oxide survive rescale and requirk?
Will the Jester become a small jumping laser vomit nightmare?
Will the Shadowhawk rescale make the Grey Death worthwhile?
Will the Anasasi/St. Ives Blues/Loup De Guerre actually do anything?
Will the Awesomes become awesome and create a Pretty Baby meta?

Don't ask what's good today, for today is nearly over. Look to those on the sidelines. Personally I think a Death's Knell meta would be hilarious.

It came out with the mediocre Wolverine hero a while back. The 5SS pulseboats were king at the time so there wasn't any point in paying MC for an inferior energy platform. I think I've only seen it once since its release.

I've actually seen quite a few of these in game.

I know some have said that it s a solid mech, but how it compares to other Thunderbolts (especially the 5SS), I have no idea.

It is mid-tier 2 on the metalist and in tier 2 on both the extreme range and medium range on the competitive list (build dependent obviously). Take that info for what it's worth.

I personally do not own any of them to say one way or the other.

Used to be used a lot in FW due to range quirks.

Anyone else notice that the bonus to cbills and xp is not adding up? I have been in my St Ives and I am only making around 150k per win. That is standard. Even with 1 - 2 kills, 7-11 assists and around 400 dmg. Earlier this morning I was cranking out around 400k for the same stats.

See them quite a bit in FP still. In fact, now that IS range quirks for lasers have been mostly homogenized, it is more popular as some of its hardpoints are fairly high compared to other tbolts with similar quirks. Throw in the 30% cbill bonus and it almost becomes worthwhile....

[Nightmare1]

Will the (S), (I), and (P) Variants get that extra 20% bonus too, or is it just the named Heroes?

Edited by Nightmare1, 27 May 2016 - 03:36 PM.

[jaxjace]

so this bi yearly sale is the best sale and everyone should buy the misery and the bounty hunter right now,

but, the thing said event, and i'm not seeing an event. I don't mind if there isn't one but i mean it does say event.

Same as you, usually with 700 damage and kill other 2, I receive about + 300k cbill but since the so-called 20% and more, well I get less.
now with the bounty hunter hero + 50% + 50% + 10% premium support package, I only get 280k for the same score cbill WTF !!! this is the scam or the bugg ?

and I just 380k cbill with a simple mech for 650 dammage and 1kill .I am okay that damage and kill not any background, but all the same it is the unbalanced !
