The offical theme song of this event "you tried so hard and got so far but in the end it doesn't even matter!", sorry but neither the Zeus are Exeutioner are that good. Not even Meta. I remember a couple of events ago they had a Ebon Jag as a event prize...now that's a good mech. Please give us meta mechs for all that grinding, not zeus and exe

[DarklightCA]

Are you really complaining about free mechs?

[Kin3ticX]

Im not complaining

PGI has way bigger fish to fry regarding CW then picking which free mech to give us

Apparently he is. Vendor trash for me since I have them as Loyalty variants. The other stuff was gravy though.

Hey, I'm keeping them regardless. Never know when you're going to need 'em.

[JasonIIC]

Free stuff, yo!

No good builds for either one of those mechs at least none that I can find on metabuilds

Than sell them for extra c-bills and buy a mech you do want with them. The Executioner is not the greatest assault but it's not bad either.

Some people just cannot be pleased, apparently. The EXE isn't a rubbish mech and yeah if you don't like it, it's worth a lotta cbills and that good ole free mechbay!

One

Two

Try those? I'm not even sure if those builds have made it onto webpages or whatever. Just some builds Faction Play people run, with very good success.

The Executioner isn't a front line assault in that it charges in and causes mayhem, but it's support brawler is pretty epic with MASC.

The pointpoint damage of the SPL is great. It's like a much tankier Nova. Or combine with the UAC20/ERSL and really dish out.

I have what may be a shocking revelation for you:
You can make more money from the event and free premium than the mechs are worth, combined. I did one scout match to get the premium time and the money I've made since has financed a number of mechs.

As for the Almighty Meta: PGI's interest in Meta's extends far enough to break out the nerfbat when we decide a particular build is broken enough to become meta, that's it. After that, they give out mechs that have some passing relation to whatever event. I believe this one was because the Zeus and Executioner were about to be for c-bills, but I may be wrong.

And last, and least:
Begging for meta's is simply sad.

So true. Same here.

I'm always happy about free mech bays and some extra cash by selling mechs and getting free premium time.

yea, if they have events going weekly, players can actually earn premium time on a regular basis. Not much of course but a fair bit. which is actually pretty cool.

You could always make your own...

[Mech Croissant]

I don't understand.....what is wrong with an Executioner? It's an awesome mech that deals a decent alpha and goes 90 klicks. Show me a 90 ton that does that!
