plz make this trial mechs 50% .

[CycKath]

Champions also count, so Orion IIC and Kodiak from previous events get another run.

I've changed my mind a bit about the event being good; getting kills/KMDDs with those terrible trial mechs is awful. I recommend skipping that part.

The rest of the event is fine though.

Can confirm, it's especially bad on the PPC variants. I have trouble with my mouse not wanting to make small adjustments, so trying to hit PPC shots at long range is a pain in the ***. They should have made it the trial chassis, rather than the Champion chassis. That way we could use the Trials if we didn't have an alternative.

Yeah, because why would PGI make a post with a simple poll and ask, you know, the players of this game when you can let our new overlords decide absolutely everything for us.

Yes it's totally awful that they are giving out good free mechs to new and veteran players alike

I appreciate the free mechs. I wish the mechs were something players actually wanted. They've done drop-down redeems before, that's something they could do with the mech unlocks. Give us our choice of mech within the selected chassis line. A MCII-B isn't really a "new player" mech, neither is a Huntsman or Grasshopper. So the argument that PGI is giving us those specific variants because of the newer players is kind of moot, it's more like those are mechs they see being played often.

I think that's the problem he's got. PGI is just making more sweeping decisions for their players, instead of letting players decide what they want.

April Dev log looks interesting and another free mech event. Okay PGI, the wheel is turning on the roadmap for this year, slowly, but I'm liking that there is some action going on.

I like the alice in wonderland theme and colors.

[K4I 4LL4RD LI4O]

I love MK II's! Thx PGi, thx Matt!!!

[DeadWeight18]

Hey Matt,

what about a ChampionMech and MC sale?

[w0qj]

Try this in MWO game client:
[Settings]>>[Game]>>[Sensitivity] and set it to 0.1 or 0.2 and hope it would help!

1. Dear MWO/PGI, please consider to add additional +20% CBills bonus to all existing Champions, and this will stimulate sales for existing Champion mechs!

Either this above, or bring back the Steam Mech Performance Packs I & II for Light/Medium/Heavy/Assault, and I'll buy these directly from MWO webpage!


2. For those who have bought Champion mechs, you can use your customizable Champion mech to complete the Champion endeavours! For example, I already own WHK-W(C) so can customize mine for this challenge!

Can never have too many Mad Cat mkII-Bs

[w0qj]

A BIG thank you to MWO for such a generous Easter event!!

MCII-B mech + 1x MechBay for free, along with MC and other goodies!!

We especially appreciate MWO's generosity towards new players!
I myself already have my own MCII-B, and a 2nd MCII-B is very nice as this would serve as my backup mech to try out the PTS/Gulag/Cauldron big gameplay changes on/about April 20th 2021!

- - - - - - - - - -
Dear MWO, as an aside, I personally would pay good money for the option to buy MCII-B(S) or convert my existing MCII-B into MCII-B(S) Special Variant with +30% CBIlls bonus. Just saying!

If they did a poll then we'd be getting a free Vindicator, or maybe an Iceferret or something, because most of us would troll the results. Also "overlords"? Ffs.

We've seen Medium, Heavy, Assault - the season of Gemini is coming up. Do you think there will be a pair of twin 20-tonners then?
Like a non-copyright Ant-Man and Wasp duo?

A good event and a fantastic mech for new players.

What do other people plan on doing with a second MCII-B? I looked at MechSpecs.com for some inspiration, but didn't find anything that jumped out at me. I think I'll probably go with an AC2/ERPPC loadout (https://mech.nav-alp...0128db10_MCII-B ) unless I hear of something better.

Dual ultra 20's and dual large pulse. A...brutish build.

You are free to make whatever suggestion you want, and to ask whatever you want from PGI.
If you're worried you're being left out, you can always join the Cauldron's Discord server and see for yourself.

Or you can do neither and complain on the forums instead.

Another great event nice work!

[Snoopy]

Thanks for this kind of events! Keep it up!
