I want a Mad Cat MKII but I'm kinda of scared the nerf hammer is locking onto it as I type this...

@InnerSphereNews: Thank you for the news! Minor nitpick, as of right now, both the thread title and the text in the picture have a funny error: Words "and" and "C-bills" are in wrong order.

I wonder which kind of sledgehammer nerfs the big cat/ wolf will get. Whats the worst case nerf, beside losing all of them quirks?

I got most of those heroes except the KW, Shard, Rainbow Crow Virago and Cherbi. But them I dont have, does look good.

Regarding a stock Kin Wolf, I came up with this. Since lurm assaults are "Taboo"

I always try to keep my Clan mechs with stock omnipods, except if I got a collectors pack which have one special variant that I give the best stock config I can get and just totally mess around with the standard variant withouth the cbill boost. My kind of OCD, dont get me started on the color distrubition and patterns...

[pacifica812]

Yes! Gotta get that MkII - B variant with sweet-uh ballistic hardpoints-uh

The MKII was already out for MC in Dec, the dates were revised some time late summer. This date appears corrected based on the revision

I don't think i've used mine since the month they arrived. Now my Annihilators on the other hand... use those every day.

[Ovion]

It's only unlocks, not one shots. Very sad being it says all.

[D V Devnull]

So these have been properly released, huh? Much Appreciated... I guess I'll have to take a look in the In-Game Store.

EXCUSE ME?!?!? That's not sad in any way!!! It's excellent for anyone to be able to purchase the Permanent Unlocks at 50% Off for a few days! That means you can purchase ONCE, and repeatedly reuse it on your MCII Variants to absolutely no end for the lifetime of MWO!

Unless you only buy one MCII and only want 1 camo.
It's fine for people with multiple that want to switch often...

But unless you're going to change it 9+ times, one-shot is going to remain cheaper, and when you just want one, it's bad.

Plus, it's advertised as all patterns, when it's only unlocks.

[Luscious Dan]

If you change your camo all the time, it's nice. Most people don't, and it takes a lot of changes back and forth to justify the MC cost. Especially now that you don't need multiple variants for mastering. If you buy the base+reinforcements pack, you might get enough mileage from permanent unlocks but I suspect a lot of people would be better off sticking to one-shots.

Regardless, Mad Cat MK2 for c-bills is nice. I have had mechbays open for a long time and haven't bought anything new to fill them. I mean, I might get an Uziel because they look nice but it's hard to come up with a new mech that isn't just an aesthetic variation on something already in-game. Only so many valid hardpoint combos at each weight.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

Oh dear, already.

...

It would be the base agility stats. The current quirks are pretty much irrelevant and PGI doesn't do negative quirks anymore.

[Steelmesh]

Bought the Deathstrike and the MC II-4 variant, and I have to say.. technically, the mechs are great.. but visually.. OMG!

1) Broken walking animation (Still, months after release!!) with the leg clipping into the arms

2) Broken decal placement with the decal appearing lower than the desired spot every single time

3) Broken geometry pieces on the back and front that appear over the placed decals

I can't help but feel like this mech was either rushed, or made by a novice Dev.. PGI please fix..

Performance-wise, the mech is great..

P.S.

Your original cbill release post says all MadCat cammos are 50% off.. but that's not true.. one-shot cammos are not on sale..

Looking forward to try this one, seems decent enough

Still can we get besides more maps some game performance tweak? I noticed from launch to game it takes about 270seconds including loading, queue, lobby. Sometimes I feel spending more time waiting than playing... Compared to others free to play games (world of tanks) I wait only 88s. And my PC is fast enough at SixCore AMD, SSD drive, 16 Gigs...

keep up good work
