back in my day several years ago, this game was worth playing. Now, I lose more often than I win and my level 2 is dangerously close back to level 3. They keep adjusting this and that. I AM DONE spending my money. Will I play? Not sure, I was gone for awhile and thought it would be ok now...NOPE, it's worse than ever! WASSUP with all this missile this and missile that now? UGH.

You mean this was a serious thread?

Good hunting,

... can I join you? I honestly miss Level 3, why the hell would you want to join this Tier 1 nonsense?

Back in my day, you had to calculate damage and flight time with dice.

*old crancky voice* Back in my day, I played them vidya games with tha stompy robits and the missiles fell from the sky like exploding rain drops all around ya, and missed!

I miss lights being able to harass without getting instantly killed because 12v12.

It does seem like the 'flavor of the month' builds were a lot less varied in the past, probably due to how few mechs were in the game. Remember these guys:

GuassCat (because hardpoint design)
ML Awesome (hello engine cap)
Streak Ravens (light mechs were good once!)
SplatCat (not quite ready for ECM)
6PPC Stalker (hello ghost heat)
Poptart Highlander (goodbye jump jets)

I'm sure I missed some. It's weird to think that we've been here off and on for seven years now.

Back in my day events had winners and losers.

If anyone remembers the August 2012 month of ultimate bliss where Super Swaybacks were boating 9 SL with 121 kph engines and absolutely face-melting every other Mech in the game on Forest Colony Classic, you are my main man.

Back in the day we only needed one jump jet on our poptart assault mechs

Those were the days, my archived stats for the 733C are still the highest of any of my 'Mechs lol, after all this time. Can't beat poptart AC 20 PPCx2 wombo combo, with SRMs on the side!

Back in my day, I was talked into playing this game and bought Night Gyr's because there were agile, dangerous and extremely lethal monsters.........

My last game before the Skill tree Change disaster was a six kill nail biter.... The last kill was a fast medium Huntsman that we ended up the last two.........he never anticipated a Heavy that could turn on a dime and had jump jets.........we won.......

And, that was the last match where I had any fun in this game.... Just before this match, the team I was on left MWO en masse and I joined another established team...........and, they left en masse that August of the same year.....

Now, as many other do, I dabble in events and wonder what the game "could have been" if they "just left it alone...."

Back in the day we were convinced the game would get better in time.

Back in my day the Catapult K2 was a ballistic god, the Catphract was the poptart king, and Dragons were jerks knocking people down left and right.

Back in the day, my Dire Wolf was one before being called a Dire Whale.

I remember when Yen Lo Wang hit the scene and everyone wanted to kill them because people dared to "Pay to Play."

I remember when Artemis first was introduced, creating the first and nastiest Lurmageddon. Holy crap, the missile trajectory they used on that was disgusting.

I remember people constantly griping about mech repair/reload bills. Which I never understood. I started tracking my c-bill income/repair ratios and found that I never lost money on a match. And I sucked as bad at this game then as I do now.

I remember the falling scene for a Jenner. As often as I had to watch it, it's burned into my brain.

I remember Gausscats... So many Gausscats...

I remember how expensive it was to max out the skills for a mech. And having to play all those variants that I didn't like to do so.

I remember when Caustic was the only real NASCAR map.

Back in my day i ran a CN9-AH with 8 SHS and ended as stick trying to capture the enemy base.

BIMD we looked on the bright side.
We got to keep all the money.

Back in my day,

My PC had DOS.

Game was young and I/we still believed it when they talked about the vision they had for the game.

Back in my day, we could bend LRMs around corners and over obstacles, while in deep cover.
