I was really needing the mechbay sale, thanks!

'Mechs that had Quirk updates in the June Patch.

Funky pink theme from the Vitric Station; MWO is really taking things in stride

You can try contacting support and seeing if they'll refund the difference. They're usually pretty kind about refunding the sale price of purchases made 1-2 days before a sale on that item/mech.

I just bought 6 engines right before this.

Does anybody have a good loadout for the UM-R80?

[Tamblecat]

Try A7=820U0|4dpI0|i^|i^|i^qI0|^<2|i^|G@r00sD0|G@|G@|G@|i^tF0|PGuF0|PGv00w303030

4 LPPC and ECM. Lots of fun - similar to a build by Brios which he featured on his channel

DATA just posted a video on R80 with 2xSNPPC + ECM + JJ.

As a MWO Comp top player, DATA said this R80 build felt...overpowered...

I guess for the sake of consistency they cannot be left out but I have to laugh at the irony of putting on sale all those nerfed lights and the Viper... if you didn't have them before why would you pick them now that they're worse? LOL.
Mech bays though? Those are very welcome...

..PIR-A...it will be sunny two weeks with low chance of LRMs

Assault snipers will always wish to nerf anything that challenges them

Now, as far as calling this "science"... hasn't "science" suffered enough these last 2 years.

Please stop trying to be cute with "science".

You aren't following "the science" when you follow "the meta".

You ARE:
1. doing what you are told
2. using a style of play that usually most benefits someone else, instead of maximizing your own strengths and individual style
3. Not learning to build your own mechs, which is an essential skill (builds, tactics, technical skills)
4. relying upon statistics, styles of play, tactics and relative power that changes at the whim of a few players

Most importantly, you can have fun developing your own mechs. That is a big reason to play MWO.

It is nice to see other people use your builds, granted. However, thinking there is a BEST mech for everyone, is one-size-fits-all silliness..
