Months after tanking my K/D as a newbie, first with trial mechs, then with a commando, then a cicada, then a dragon, I've finally pulled myself back up with my cataphracts, catapults, atlas, and stalker.

I know K/D doesn't mean a whole lot, but yay! Anyone else have any silly milestones they want to celebrate?

I've obtained the highest c-bills I've had thus far while playing. 15mil.

I'm edging mine back up towards 0.5 since switching from lights to centurions. I think at one point it was as bad as 0.25

Grats on the 1-1 K/d. It's good to see new players achieving these milestones. Keep it up.

Thanks. I honestly didn't think I would make it tonight, because usually around 5-6 PST is when I start getting steamrolled (pretty sure because that's when premades start happening more often).

Mt efficiency results in me keeping my numbers under 0.33

That means I am one bad @$$

Suck it up all you wanna bees!

[BL00D RAVEN]

But the question is, did you PUG most of the time?

All the time. I have literally never been part of a premade... although I've dreamed of that magical state of play...

Ah, I remember when I just broke even with my KDR.
Not coincidentally, that was about the same time I made it out of Trial 'Mechs, in fact, the ratio increased from 0.34 to 1.04 overnight.

It is... You're very observative.
With such a good head on your shoulders I'm sure you'll make it to 2.0 KDR very soon - for now, congratulations!

So you're going to buy every spider? Every SINGLE one?!

[Haegir]

I mostly pug and have a 2.65 KDR

selling 3 atlas for 3 spiders, i really hate the atlas

[Broceratops]

1 kdr isnt too bad in this environment of pugstomping if you only pug. even mighty broceratops in all his glory could only manage upper 2's while dropping solo. kudos for sticking to it alone.

Cicada and dragon are decent mechs.

Yeah, but they weren't the right fit for me.

[Spinning Burr]

My milestones: 2000 matches, 1000 losses, 1000 deaths, 100 posts to this forum. My KDR is climbing slowly currently 0.5-0.6. I only PUG ever. No lights ever (except dabbled with ECM cicada for a bit). No assaults ever. No hunchbacks ever. I favor centurions, dragons, cataphracts, and catapults. I applaud your KDR as I appreciate how hard it is for the lone wolves.

[TheGreatNoNo]

I remember using trails before ecm and having a k/d of 0.64 while pugging in trails. Also had a loss ratio of 2 over 3, then I got my first C4 and realized how costly artemis ammo is with endo, 145k a death, or 80k cost a win. Those days sucked. Now I have 1.42 k.d and just 80 more wins then loses. I do better pugging or with one other friend then I do in four mans and a world better then eight-mans, where I just seem to be a walking distraction, but still it is a fun way to die.

Certainly is milestone.

[Raz Skullcrusher]

My dream milestone is to finally bring my W/L ratio up to 1.0 from just pugging alone. I'm not into grouping but willing to try it one day. I'm glad I was able to get K/D to 1.9 through pugging. I still remember trying to kill anything during the CB Era against 8man groups smashing pugs.
