I only own about 18 hero mechs, so it's not that I will make a ton of MC or something but I really welcome a challenge like that. If you got the mechs, get some rewards, if not, just participate in another event another time.
I dont get why people feel entitled that they must be able to complete every single event in this game.

I didn’t complete every kill with Champion mech challenge, but I had the opportunity to attempt it. It’s more about being able to take part and not feel excluded.

The "Dropship Deals" is still missing Hero mech sale?
In fact, it says "There are no Dropship Deals available."

Please help to correct this? Thanks!

Exactly, but also to try and keep the game alive by having active participation. People that have spent a lot of money and own the Hero mechs are either still playing a lot or have long since abandoned the game. New players or casual players don't get enticed to participate in an event because they lack the mechs.

I was wondering that the LTD was on the List at all. It was given out in a promotion somewhen. It even appears on the profile list as a separate chassis.
So, Matt, what's up with the Dropship Deals and will the LTD Grid Iron really go on sale in September?

DAMN! I was hoping to get enough mc for 50% sleipnir by the time another event hits, I'm short about 350mc now. Next time I guess?

Please some more mc challanges before another 50% off hero mech event!

As per the YouTube Hero Tease video -
The Limited Edition version had special branding an cheerleader cockpit item. I'd forgotten the LTD version even existed until they re-did the 'Mechs you own page and called it out. I know you can own multiple heroes, but seriously wonder if people would own both versions?

I thought I DID have the LTD version, when I saw it called out in the Solaris Division listing, but realized I just had two copies of the regular one once they updated the profile page. I think I bought one and got the other one as an event reward.

Have you bought ALL 5 Basic Colors for your palette? If not, since they're a little-known thing, then here's how...
  • 1.) Open the MWO Game Client
  • 2.) Go to the "MechLab"
  • 3.) Go to "Camo Spec"
  • 4.) Go to "Color"
  • 5.) Click the drop-down, and pick "Basic"
  • 6.) Pick any Pattern Color slot
  • 7.) Pick any of those 5 Basic Colors other than the pre-unlocked "Basic Green"
  • 8.) Use your (C-Bills) for one-time permanent unlock purchases on each Basic Color
...and now you're able to start painting your Mechs that you own! Posted Image

Cheers D. V. I have already got all the standard colours, took me a while to realise there were some C Bill paints to buy haha!

just hoping for a discount so i can spend the small amount of MC i've gathered from events on some new shades.


Sure this will help other new players though. all the best, see you on the field!

Aye no Dropship deals.. also why trickle the sales out... so alphabetically last is .. ages away..

EDIT : also OP, the first 'challenge' is the easiest ever to get a week of premium time, and you do not need to do anything special.

Check the rewards, Check the effort
Check the reward to effort ratio and make a discussion if its personally worth it or not.
At least you have the option to do the event, and the option not to do eet. Its up to you and for you if you wish.

The non-hero part of the rewards are happening anyway - basically a gift of a week premium time just for getting shot :P

Getting shot?!?!? I thought it was for DOING the shooting! :wacko:

Don't you know? Events like this "Heroes to the Rescue" (or "HttR" for short) are MEANT to be rare, as doing too many of them could drive people away from this game! If that happens, how would you then play any of these Events that are kindly provided to us? Let us avoid looking the proverbial 'Gift Horse' in its' mouth, alright? :(

Why is Faction Play Clan vs Clan when most event mechs are IS?

MATT?


I bet when most event mechs are Clan, FP will be switched to IS vs IS as that is smart....

I don't know what Matt Newman will have to say about that... But, I had last heard that you can get in on those battles with your choice of Mechs & Drop Deck selected, and all without regard to your Current Faction which you have personally chosen. Therefore, there should be nothing preventing you from using your choice of Mechs on the battlefields. Obviously, if that's not correct, then please tell me about your experience in more detail. I was unfortunately out-of-the-loop for a year recently. :mellow:

Keep an Eye out for Daily challenges that will pop up during
the Heroes to the Rescue Event!



So when should we expect to start seeing those? Just wondering.
