Haha I always thought I had too many mechs at 15...That being said I've always dreamed of having all variants fully maxed, just to have the option of making any build of any variant possible in the game. I would say good job but that's an understatement.

Indecision drove me onwards. Always looking for what made me happiest. That, and in RPGs I tend to favour Jack-of-all-trades, Master of none characters. I like utility.

If you've found the mechs you really enjoy in the 15, then so be it, way to go.

In the end it is about fun maximisation, not skills, KDR, win/loss. Some of us just define fun a little differently in MWO.

I have seven mechs, four of them founder's, none at Master. This is a beta game.

Agreed.

However, it is now a Beta game with no more wipes of XP and mechs owned. So, longer term goals with respect to these are now doable.

On the other hand, I will be greatful for the next stat wipe.

You could

1. Go outside.

2. Purchase a better, more fleshed out game which doesn't rely on idiotic upgrades and pilot advancements to keep things fresh.

If MWO wasn't a F2P closed island then you'd have your choice of tons of custom, user-created maps which offer hundreds of hours of fresh gameplay... But it is a F2P death island and you WILL play those same ******* four maps over and over and over and over.

I haven't found a pressing need to constantly master things. I only have a master Jenner, every other Mech I have isn't even an Elite or Master, but I play them far more often. I pick a Mech variant that I like and I just play it without worrying about 'leveling' it up, which in the long run doesn't actually improve someone's skill.

I also got bored customizing min/max Mechs and instead make variants of Mechs that don't exist in the game, using similar weapons, 'tro' loadouts, etc., or I just play current variants in their default config just for a challenge (except for any Mech with terribad useless MG's, Flamers, or NARCs). What is reasonably sad is that SHS default configs approach 'decent' if Elite is unlocked for the 2x Standard modifier. Same goes for Speed Tweak just to get close to actual default TRO speed.

I say, after unlocking everything, it's time to start tinkering. Customize, and go off in search of the ubermech, the one mech to rule them all. If you've come this far you have the potential to accomplish it.

I had a job when I bought the Legendary Founders.

Fortnight later, job went pooft!

For various reasons, I can't drive, never have been able to. Makes finding a job tougher. I look, I live in hope, but if you're over 40, the market out there is tough.

Please note I am in Australia, so employment situation here is different to the USA. Less fulltime out there, more part-time.

It is not much better here in the States I wish is was for SO many reasons.

Yeah, I have Mr Urbie, my cockpit companion. Bought him, because any mechwarrior worth his crust has an Urbanmech of some kind.

Doing a bit of playing everything right now. Finding holes, tinkering, tweaking.

When I build mechs, I also like them to be tabletop playable. Just because this is a computer game adaptation doesn't mean we have to go down the same ultra-optimised builds route of other games. I avoid ballistics due to latency in many cases. Main aim is to get builds that are fun to play and not push-button warrior. I don't want to get into LOL builds though.

I like the Spider, purely as a fun mech, that can be useful.

No game is better than this. Your argument is invalid.

I know.

Problem is I'd be a huge danger to others on the road (and moreso to myself)

I take the responsible attitude, and just don't drive.

[GrimmwolfGB]

I fully understand your concern. I had a drivers license for 14 years without owning a car. I had major problems driving again after that time and was scared to hit anyone (2 years ago I got a car). Then even the thought of driving made me avoid it even though the car was waiting outside. It took some time for me to adjust and now I often even like driving. I drove around 20000-25000km since getting the car, the bad feeling is not as present as before. I have only slightly damaged a parked car, so noone was hurt.
(I got rammed on the autobahn though, but my VW Bus was tougher than the rammer's ford fiesta and he, his cat and me and my passengers survived uninjured.)
Anyway, point is, try to get it done, the anxiety starts to fade after a while.

[LordDante]

go void !

gamers can do allmost everything

my girlfriend/ wife complained that all that gaming will never lead me to anything so she dared me to try somthing that had nothing to do with runnig around and shoot stuff or collect recources or what the hell
anything with gaming
something real !

so when the director of the local theatre asked me to play the" jedermann" i said Yes
( it was late and i was drunk )
just to show me and her that i could do something else.

i never was on stage before nor had any other experiances in that direction.

6 month of rehersals and 60 pages of text ( nobody told me that it was that much ) later
i stood on stage !

if someone had told me that i would dare to do that, half a year earlyer ,i simply would have laughed at him

[Mr Mantis]

Your poor wife/girlfriend, neglect is a serious problem. Are you allowed to play at work too, if so than what do you do for a living and how can i apply.

[Inveramsay]

if I remember my high school german would jedermann be basically average man?

Anyhoo, the trebuchet is out soon which should keep you busy for, I don't know, about five hours?
