i have officially mastered every mech you can get for c-bills. not that this means much for long. skill trees have been pushed back, but they will come. and on the 7th the linebacker comes out for cbills. i will then have 2 weeks to master it, and without premium time which runs out here in a few days. i will mostly be in fp stacking up cbills for the trees. but in the end it will be pointless, the skill trees will come and i wont be able to master them again with the cbills and possibly xp on hand. this is what i have to show for 3 and a half years of grind.

Congratulations, that's a lot of leveling. Did you do it mostly in the group queue, or suffer your way through in the PUG queue?

I stopped at 204 Mastered - almost all of it in the PUG queue, ugh - when I saw the new Skill Tree. I realised that any future leveling under the old system would be futile.

Can you post a screenshot? I'd like to see what it looks like with all those Mastered symbols on all those Mechs!

Well. Not to be an a-hole. But now you have to open your wallet and empty its contents into PGIs hand.

But did you get all of the achievements in the game?

[Bud Crue]

Two things...

One, mastering everything is not how you "beat the game"; its getting a x12 modifier on both map AND mode selection, and getting a screen shot to prove it.

Two,

It was pointless in the end, in the middle and at the beginning.

It's actually not usually difficult to figure out what map everyone's likely going to choose and betting against it - getting up to around 8x this way is very doable, I find. (If you're going for multiplier in lower tier queues, it's pretty much always a good bet to place your vote against Polar and Crimson when they come up. Terra Therma or Caustic coming up is basically a free multiplier point, they rarely get chosen.) And if the map choices look like a bit of a wash, simply don't vote, and save your multiplier for a more clear-cut choice.

I know, but still, never managed to get both up to x12. If only I could achieve that one goal, then all of the pain and suffering would be worth it!

If you think this means "beating" the game (or that the game has to be "beaten" in the first place), you are a poor soul locked in primitive caveman collector drives.
Sorry to say that, but there will be no females queuing up before your cave.
No other cavemen will bow to you in awe.
All you have accomplished by that is a MASSIVE waste of your life time.
Cheers!

Nice job.

I'm pleased that ST has killed this idea for me... as there are many mechs I was not looking forward to piloting

Well, it's not exactly emptying it, but I did just open it in Gaijin's direction.

And without cheating (i.e. Death Star).

Only with new blind voting system, old voting 12&12 was too easy. All I ever seem to get now is a 8x mode multiplier before I get grouped with another like-minded vote troll. Map is still an easy 12x, but my mode high score now is only 10x. 1st galaxy problems.

@OP I count this as completing your goal, and do not see this as pointless at all (especially on account of moved goalposts). Congratulations on beating the game, and thanks for the drops!

i actually did a lot of leveling in fp, as i was short on cbills the whole time, regularly having 1million cbill payouts from fp wins certainly helped a lot. there was a lot of quick play too when my side in fp was loosing or when the populations just werent there. i also did a lot of master'n'sell so i was able to do it all with only 127 bays.

And this so how those maps get picked

i dont think so. ive given them enough money. sure i have amassed a lot of hero mechs, some i bought and others i acquired by other means (event mc and sales). but im not about to give up money for heros that suck. besides my wallet is empty.

And thus begin my quest for Escort on Terra. Surely ill need those modifier to get that passed.

unfortunately no, but some of these are insane. i dont think death star is possible without a glitch. i dont think i have liquid metal (i came close once but had too many legs). ive came very close to ace but im just a worthless potato. im about half way to all around helper. but i see achievement systems for what they are, a lame and overcopied attemt to make a crappy game seem more interesting. i enjoyed the games that existed before cheevo systems more than the ones with them.

Without Paigan I would've had no understanding of this thread, or indeed at all, whatsoever.

I still miss that facet of MW4 where the game absolutely never reminded us of all the time we wasted on it. [sigh]

[Davegt27]

wow congrats Lord

that's an amazing accomplishment
