[Nemesis One]

Greetings, longtime Mechwarrior and Battletech fan here, played every game from Mechwarrior 2 Mercs onwards, Mech 3 was my favorite. Got almost all the tech readout books too, even the 1986 one with the "missing" mechs in it. I prefer the pre-clan tech and mechs. I played the board game once or twice, but really got into the simulators when they came out

I've played Mechwarrior 2 and 3...and I guess I never really got a chance to hone my skills, cause the netcode in 3 was terrible, and when 2 came out I didn't have internet. When MW4 came out I was excited...but the game just didn't feel right to me. I actually enjoyed the first MechAssaut (a guilty pleasure of mine). When I heard that Mechwarrior Online was happening, well I just had to check it out. Basically I've always sucked at piloting Mechs in the previous games, and I would like to actually get decent at it. Nice to meet all of yous guise.

Has someone reached out to help you guys? This isn't the right place for this particular question, but I wanted to see if you've gotten what you need or not.

Hey all, I haven't read through the 22 pages of replies. But I think it might be worth putting something on here mentioning the Beta guides and also that you need to be logged in to view those subforums.... or maybe I'm just stupid.

Thanks, the info is useful.

Hey all... I played the original Mech2/Dos wireframe on Kali back in the 90s and haven't really played much since. I think I'm going to give this a go, relive some of the glory days as it were...

I was whitefangs (the original) there, but alas, someone's taken it, so this is me now.

Look forward to meeting you all on the field!

Thatnks for keeping this updated. Lots here has been helpful. But I have a lot of catching up to do. I wuld like to petition for a "skill equalizer" of sorts. You know someting that compensates for fact that my old man reflexes cannot possibly keep up with the younger generation, and equipment. I would also like a hookup for either a helmet periherpal that allows me to have a spatial awareness, or multi-moniters for 360 degree viewing.

either that or grant me invincibility......I'll stilonly win about 50% of my battles....sigh

For those with issues running the game (which strongly sounds like gfx issues and/or minimum requirements) please see the BETA forum support section (must be in Closed BETA to access that forum).

Sadly I cannot cross link BETA forum posts on this guide, or it would be more awesome (and like twice as long).

Also bardlord, if you run with a good enough group, they will compensate for your old man skills, then you can sit in the back and tell people where to go

[1nfamous]

Hello,
I was recently invited to participate in the closed beta and i have to say i am liking what i've seen and played so far! I can't wait to see the game in DX11!! Now here is my problem,i tried to purchase a $60 founders membership and when i clicked on the buy tab it brought me to a screen that only allows me to purchase mech credits. I don't see an option anywhere to buy into any memberships? Is this not possible now?? Is their something i am doing wrong? Please help as i would like to get access to the founders mech!

updated the NGNG beer mech and devs podcast (check it out), also playing with the spacing a bit on some of the older posts (trying to shrink the wall).

Hi all!

Hello, welcome to the forums.

[Derby McAllister]

First, to Kaemon, this guide post you have established for us newbies to peruse to get us up to speed is awesome, and I thank you.

Second, as so many others it seems, to express my dissapointment at missing out on purchasing the founders pack as just discovering this game yesterday ( A move I am fully willing to recitfy if given the oppurtunity *hint* *hint* )

Third, to express my absolute excitement waiting on this and realizing it is so close to release (the advantage to arriving at the end of a process).
From my intoduction to BattleTech through Crescent Hawks Inception (yay for blowing a hole in the arena to run away with the chameleon) on an Apple IIE followed up with Crescent Hawks Revenge on a Hyundai computer (yes the car guys) 8088 chipset in 88 and then Mechwarrior with it's stunning EGA graphics where I lost the anti piracy sheet that had the pass word for the log in screen and could only recall one matching pair Same year I was introduced to the Minatures game which I took after like a fish in water (and don't get me started on when they went from lead figures to pewter) which I as recently as last year brushed some off for a quick jaunt, It's nice to let people know some of the Third Crucis Lancers are around ( FS Paint jobs not FC ). Love the back story and tthe novels so much that the thought of Starleague still makes me a bit nauseated Anyhow, Light Mechs rock, Asault mechs are just for target shooting, and I look forward to proving it in a few weeks/month when ever they open the game back up
