Just curious what people are trying to get done before the tree hits.. I personally got about 25 to finish off before it comes. All are in various stages of mastered. (got another 15 i'm not even going to bother either cause rule of 3, or i will have some extra points so no need to grind say my Locusts.. )

I got some banked premium, figure it is a good time to use it and power through. So what about you?

[Yellonet]

What's the point of that?

Any Mech on which you manage to get the additional module slot unlocked will automatically translate to a fully-mastered Mech under the new system.

OP has a very strong point....


Should I be caching in GXP to level Mechs right now? That would bypass the CBill cost of leveling the Mechs under the new tree...

(now that I think about it, though, I do have a forecasted 9,300+ skill node refund... I might be good for a while)

Mh 3 I want to skill and an unknown number in differnt states...but I hardly play them anyway.
Still a good point about getting some done. I got some that I didn't master completly as I didn't needed the extra module.

[Bud Crue]

All my mechs were mastered as of the last PTS. So via the last PTS where new "mastery" via nodes came to an XP cost of 15,500XP over mastery, THAT is what I have been working towards.

Now that those additional node costs are gone, the only thing I am working on is to play as many heroes as possible to get as many c-bills as possible, so when the skills tree goes live, I can bid a fond farewell to my 150 low tier IS mechs that are newly nerfed; and hopefully have enough c-bills saved to buy 3-4 clan meta mechs to replace the lot.

I have really 0 that I am going for at this point. I have 10 mechs of my 63 that I could grind out, 4 of which I could take past basic and go to mastery with, but, I don't really have the self loathing drive to run Jenner IIC's at this point in time (says the Phoenix Hawk 1b pilot), outside of that, loyalty cicada, loyalty blackjack, loyalty cataphract, oxide, pirates bane, and a lootcrate jenner k I am holding off on until after civil war tech to play with. I mean I could run the Pirates bane, already mastered my other Locusts, they were fun, but, eh, light piloting is a special kind of piloting that is rather exhausting. Everything else has over 100k of XP just sitting on it even if it isn't mastered at this point due to the rule of 3 so no point to level grinding atm for me.

none?

I reckon to be more than Skill Point rich enough to not need to. Heck even my Assassins I can all master at the moment... and none of them are actually mastered in the current setting.

I'm currently going to hyper-accelerate grinding the KDK-3...

After all, it's getting a buff in the new skill tree!

[Wildstreak]

6 Lights
7 Mediums
6 Heavies
4 Assaults

Of these, 4 Lights can be Mastered, the others are 1 or 2 variants of a chassis Basic'd collecting extra XP for Node unlocks.
I might skip a few though like the 2 Stalkers, they are proving a pain. They have about half the extra XP they need so I could just use GXP for the rest.
Some of the Basic'd are already where they need to be like the Cataphract-0XP.

you hadn't ground KDK3s already? What kind of Comp Player are you?!?!?!??!

[El Bandito]

I am leveling 3 mechs at the moment, but I am not worried about it at all. Once the new skill tree hits, I will gain fucktons of GSP/HSP--more than enough to level my entire stable twice over.

I mean, if the role your team wants you in doesn't include Assaults...

But, the joke is understood.

I haven't. Like Yeonne is saying, I'm a baaaaad comp player.

Well each mech mastered is worth about 4m credits, because no need to buy the nodes. (unless of course you want to change the build, but then you can use GSP) BUT, the more i have mastered the less GSP i will need to keep/save, meaning the more modules i can sell off, so i have more cash when the new tech hits. I defiantly wan't to have some saved anyway, because the GPS will be a nice way to swap some builds when i need to, verse leveling un-mastered mechs.


Some mechs i only need 5-10k, aka in master box already, others are various stages of elites, ect.. So seams like a good use of my Time to C-bill ratio. If i can master a mech in an hour or two because it is almost there, that is like earning 4m c-bills.

Every mastered mech means another module i can sell. Just figured i would see how many others are doing the same thing.

[Davegt27]

Op there was a sense of accomplishment in mastering Mech

After the big cbill nerf took a bit of a different approach to mastering Mechs

I would buy one Mech to see if I liked it and get it through basic
I would continue to build up XP until I had enough for elite
Then I would buy the second Mech

I had a linebacker, and a night gyr I had been working on oh and a Cyclops

The Linebacker has the most fun factor so far and I was trying to figure out a way to get the
Cyclops hero Mech

Oh well it was a fun run with our big stompy robots

[Trev Firestorm]

37, all of which are elited but never got topped off... plus 8 lights but I just don't enjoy them very much so they are last priority (can always just get them with GSP... or ignore them completely)... I think I started this drive to top off mechs with around 60 and bought another 7 during the process... so making good progress.

...Also I have a problem, every time I get to 15mil cbills in storage I feel the need to buy a new mech so... yeah probably not hitting that goal ... and I'm going to be in trouble when the new tech drops for that same reason...

I only have a literal four games across Warhammers and only one Arctic Cheetah that's even made it to Basic.. I was always more of a Firestarter person when it came to tryharding in Lights, until they got big. Pour one out for the only Light that could give the ACH a run for its money...

[TercieI]

None. All 408 mechs are mastered.

Think I'll buy five tomorrow and a few on Tuesday though...
