I'm not sure if people will like it here, but this is a thread that is ongoing in another game that I play. Just post whatever you accomplished today in MWO. It can be getting a new efficiency unlocked, purchasing a new mech variant, trying out a new config, getting a new personal record, have a fun game or drop either solo or with friends, or just anything in general.

It doesn't have to be a huge accomplishment nor does it have to be better than the next guy's. Just a thread to post in what you did if you feel it's interesting enough. Constructive criticism is welcome but no flaming on what another person did unless it is against the rules (still no flaming just report it).

I'll start off and see if more people are interested in doing this.

Accomplished today:
  • Farmed up to 8,000,000 c-bills (had 6m yesterday) then sold the two 300 std engines from my two Atlases to buy the AS7-DDC (which gave me another... 300 std engine).
  • Used up all my XP to unlock Atlas elites.
  • Filled up elite efficiencies on my Founders Atlas.
  • Helped some newbs in the forums.
  • Bought a K2 with MC. Felt evil and put Endo, DHS, 2 AC/20s and 4 Medium Lasers on it after downgrading to a 200 std engine.
My new baby for when I feel like living the simple life. At least it's not a Gausscat, right?

Tested out new builds with the Atlas. Failed due to bad internet. :D

Saved up 2.4 million playing casually. Resisting urge to buy Large Pulse Lasers to test another build because I am saving up for an A1. :)

Well. Today I carried my team through a match with 1000+ damage and 6 kills in my RVN-3L. Does that count for anything?

Unlocked all basic pilot skills on a second Hunchie, then stopped playing for a while as I am sick of Hunchies.

Got pissed that I can't use "Prt Scr" when in full-screen mode to take a vanity shot of the game summary after a match where I scored 7 kills...

Long time ago in a galaxy, far far away...
So it was on caustic. I was rocking in my 1X phract. My whole team died and I was vs 2 centurions and catapult. 1st centurion went down quickly as it was already damaged a lot. 1 shot from dual ppc and he's gone. Problems began when other centurion started capping base, and I was near theirs with lrm/srm6 cat guarding theirs on one of hills. No gauss rounds left and high distance for ppc, and armor stripped off already. Cat was fully armored too. So I started charging back to base through 7 line while dodging missiles behind hills. Team started chatting that we lost and all. At around 700 meters I could see centurion in our base, and bar was almost at the end. I shot ppc and I was like wth when that centurion ran off cap point. After 3 dual ppc salvos he went down, barely adding to mine dmg with his med lasers. 4 minutes left, me with orange internals on few parts of mech vs 2x srm6/ 2x lrm15 catapult. I setup on hill near calderra and wait for him to come over to me, he manages to get me from back and damages further with srms. Almost red torso by that point. After 1 minute I was red on torso, but managed to take off his armor already. Next 3 minutes looked rather hilarious. Shoot, turn so he shots my side, turn and shoot rinse repeat while keeping at ~150m distance so srms are less effective and I'm not in lrm range. 20s left and he starts running with red torso, ts holds breath. At ~3s left I managed to catch him in the open (didn't really see exact time, was focused on firing) and made last desperate shot, coring him. That was craziest and at same time most amazing of matches that I had in a long time.

On completely opposite side of luck:
I failed to record it.

Well, Thursday I proved that my crappy 450$ off the shelf laptop can play MWO beyond just the mechlab... if I like playing at around 5 frames per second! LOL

I so cannot wait to have a full on desktop to play MWO with!

I learned a valuable trick in dealing with "Lag Shooting". Use TAG on every mech. The TAG Laser when constantly fired will turn red when you are properly aiming at the enemy (this saves me shots, heat, etc). So I just keep my TAG on and fire when it turns red. It's well worth the loss of 1 laser if you have latency issues or have trouble shooting through lag. The fact that all our LRM boats get free TAG is just a side bonus. ;)

I managed to break MWO on my husband's computer. Played 4 matches just fine, and then i got disconnected from the server. Closed MWO and spent over half an hour trying to get it to restart, never loaded up. I ended up having to uninstall and re-install it. It's currently patching, and I /really/ hope that it gets done patching before he gets home from work.

So I realised I like playing my raven instead of my first com. I stripped back a mlas on it and still scored a kill.

I realised I'm not so good on chat, when I want to say something to an opponent I instead teamspeak... Doof!

I'm using a xl engine on my rav and getting just on 100kph... road legal mech !!!

1. Brought my total kills up to 12 (from 5), which is a bit rare, since I don't make that many kills in one day...
Mostly done in a modified Raven with very light weapons load. I guess it was just good timing.

2. Also managed to increase c-bills to ~ 3 mil. Saving up for a 200 XL engine and a few other things

3. Ended up getting stuck on top of a roof on River City with one leg and endless shaking...

Posted 25 November 2012 - 08:56 AM

I just had my two best matches ever. I'm grinding the Cat-A1, which is not my first choice but I thought I'd give it a spin. Running 3x LRM5 in the left arm, 3x SSRM2 in the right (this is important).

Got three kills in River City (my average is less than one...) without even paying attention - I spent half the game delivering LRMs from the other side of the river, then got into brawling range. I didn't even know I had gotten my first kill, but the second one was an AWS that I got with an alpha strike at my 270m sweet spot. I ran dry on LRMs, which was good because my left arm got blown off a few seconds later (left arm usually goes first because most players are right-biased). My config paid off and I had full short-range firepower in my other arm, so I mixed it up with an enemy Cat while assisting on another AWS. Killed the Cat to end the match.

Immediately after, another River City match. I was providing LRM support on the south side of the city (delta side) and killed a C4 (which incidentally had the same config as my C4) and an AWS with sustained LRM fire (seriously spent 70% of my ammo on those two, though it was more due to their negligence/preoccupation with the rest of my team) while assisting on a K2. K2 pops up later and I kill him with my last LRM salvo. Two enemies left, try to engage a Cicada and he gets offed by another teammate. Start up the ramp and there's a Centurion right in my way - I jump over him and force him to spin, and he is simultaneously hit with my three Streaks in front, and a dual LRM20 salvo in the back (kill was awarded to me).

I'm on fire this morning! Looks like the A1 grind will be pretty fun after all.
