This is a really good idea but I see this thread hasn't been updated in awhile...is this still happening?

[xxREVxx]

not sure what you are asking so I'll just wing it...
yes there are people to team with
you should get in comms, frequent groups/clans websites and network with them

[fac3l3ss]

That does answer my question! I just wanted to know if this "Education Center" thing was still happening. Thanks for the info!

yes the education center is still there, quite empty and most people are on the NA server now.
Education Center is a channel on both public servers.
It is community run and requires people to fill it up for it to work.
You could say its dead as a dodo but the service is there for anyone to use.

The public servers are up and running for a long time now, should be still there for a while

Hey, just getting Teamspeak setup for the first time. I've used Ventrilo and Mumble in the past, but never TS. When asked about turning on the in-game overlay it states it might flag anti-cheat measures. Just wanted to make sure enabling the overlay is alright before booting up!

Also, how does grouping up work? If we're in the same TS room, how do we actually get into a game together?

edit: Just disabled the overlay for now, since I didn't want to wait to play

I'm not sure anymore but it was true about the overlay, I just have not heard anyone talking about it so not a clue.

You send a friend request to the group leader in MWO, this will allow the team leader to send you a group invite

[p4r4g0n]

MWO does not currently have an anti-hack tools / app, etc so you don't need to worry about it.

You need to meet up with people in TS, then add them as a friend under "Social" in the client. They can send you a group invite or you can create a group and send them the invite.

Chat in Social is currently bugged but since you're going to be on TS, that shouldn't be a problem

Thanks for the reply, I wasn't sure how the connection between TS and the game was made

Anyone know how to get new channels made in the Merc section? We had one last week, gone now (as is the ability to create)

[p4r4g0n]

PM a moderator?

[Cybermech]

yep pm any mod or server admin and they can make the channel for you.

Hi to everyone - I'm new here. I have an issue with c-bills and dunno how to get round it: my home screen shows some 9 millions c-bills available to me, but when I prompt to buy a mech, my c-bills account is zero...and obviously I cannot buy anything, so I'm stuck with the free mechs. the home screen c-bills field is regularly increasing after each battle. I have a free account. if any help could come I would be grateful. whether should I be off topic, sorry for this - new player area is out of work and I don't know where to post. thanks

[Cybermech]

there might be a chance your looking at MC when to buy a mech.
which you have none and would make sense.
however if this is not the case then you have a problem.

I guess your in the "owned mechs" section rather then the "trial mech".
Your C-bill are always on the bottom even in mechlab.
Some mechs are hero mechs and thus cannot be bought with C-bills.

I'm trying to find something what could be going wrong but if none of this solves your problem
then go to the support tab and send in an email.

[Mangoni]

thanks Cyber - no, I am not looking at MC credits, and unfortunately I am not only looking at hero mechs. when I am in the mechlab, I see the c-bills account on the bottom, and that's where I see my 9 million something c-bills. then, when I co to owned mechs tab, and try to build one, I scroll the chassis options; whichever I pick, I get the tab where you have at the bottom left your MC credit resources, and on the bottom right the c-bills resources - and there I go, no c-bills, no mech, almost no fun...

I bet there's something I do wrong, or do not understand...I cannot think of being the only dumbass that has this issue.. :-(

thank you for your help anyway.

ciao

[p4r4g0n]

Just in case you missed something or I misunderstood what you were saying, specific steps below-

Click Mechlab tab
(edit to include this) Click on "Owned Mechs"
Click on empty mechbay
Click "Create New Mech" that appears on top of empty mechbay that you clicked
In the new window, you will see on the right below the word "Battlemechs" 5 icons marked * (Hero), L (Light), M (Medium), H (Heavy), A (Assault)
Click on the mech class you desire, then click on your preferred mech and variant.
Picture of the mech should appear in the center with certain details of the mech on its immediate right.

At the bottom of the details, you should see "Buy MC" "Buy CB" where the MC and CB prices are displayed. If you do not have enough MC or CB to purchase the mech, the words "Not enough MC / CB"" will appear in red above the prices.

If the CB price is not greyed out and the red letters indicating insufficient CB do not appear and you still cannot make the purchase, please email support@mwomercs.com with a screenshot and ask for assistance.

Hope this helps

Wow, this sounds like a really fantastic idea. I'd love to join in, though I need a better pc first. Sadly I don't see that happening for a good 6 months at least. Real life needs an infinite money cheat >_>

I'll definitely be keping an eye on this to see how it goes
