I'd been saving up for the last Jager variant that I need, but now I'm not sure what I should do.

Should I start buying modules for the catapults that are already mastered?
Buy the last Jager and master the set?
Buy additional XL-engines, so I don't need to switch them out.


Then, I thought, maybe I should just save all the C-bills for CW.

The only problem I see with this is how the Clans will be implemented. If it's like the WoT and War Thunder model, money earned from using IS mechs, wont be usable for anything Clan related.

This led to the question of having to grind from scratch to get that shinny TimberWolf, that I would at this point almost kill for. The 5 mechs that I own now just about add up to the cost of the one Clan mech that I really want. This makes me sad.

So now I sit here with wallet on my lap, ready to throw it at my computer screen. I really wish we could get some details on the Clan Invasion. Is there really even any point in playing right now. Maybe I should just take a break until the full game comes out.

I honestly gotten to the point where I don't really make much purchases anymore. C-Bill and MC reated. When you play enough you just have large amount of C-Bills just stacking up. Some people in my clan played so much they have over 250 million c-bills and they own over 10+ mechs.

My personal recommendation is to make smart purchases. I only own Highlanders, Centurons, Commandos, cataphracts, and hunchbacks. I don't buy random mechs for fun. Just buy mechs that are very useful then save up the rest for future content.

I have over 60 million C-Bills saved up and 17350 MC left with my founders with still 2 months of founders premium.

i'm in same boat...it's why PGI needs to release new content that rewards us something other than Cbills, or useless XP. More Pilot Skills and mech efficiencies, Achievements, and please, oh please, CW.

Same here, nearly 65 million Cbills with the next mech I might possible get being the Orion. 21 or 22 mechs, with nearly all mastered and outfitted.

I actually spend all my cbills on modules, motors, and equipment. I just can't be bothered to chase something down whenever I want to change mechs. Keeps me perpetually broke, but I don't have to spend 10 minutes trying to find, unequip, and re-equip something.

[DragonsFire]

I'm back up at 12 million, but I generally have each mech fully equipped and I have duplicates of my most used items (ie 300 XL engine, Seismic module) so the swapping that I have to do is minimal at best. I may end up using that 12 million on the new Orions, still not quite sure on it though.

Problem is I'm a penny pincher at heart, I barely was able to click the button to buy an XL 325 because I already had a 320 and the only real gain was another HS (and this is when I'm sitting on 50 mil cbills)

I search every mech (have 20 something) until i find my 1 copy of my module/engine. When drop ship mode comes then I'll buy more.

[Vassago Rain]

I spend that amount buying XL engines and taking off artemis without thinking.

Every day.

[Whompity]

I never have enough CB.

I've mastered Phracts, Cicadas, Atlas, Jenner, and nearly Trebuchet and Raven, and I currently have about 10 of 12 mechs in my stable. I usually save enough for a new mech and then have to save longer to use it (Endo, DHS) which sucks.

Some day I plan to have one of every engine (Well, increments of rating-25 for now) so I can mix and match more. Most of my mechs share engines.

What about WoT prevented you from using silver on one tree across to another? Nothing for the year and a half I played it ending last October.

If you have 2 Jagers, I don't even understand why buying a third is a question - mastery and 2x basic is unequivocally a great help.

CW nobody knows much about, so hoarding in hopes that you'll need silver there is... a gamble.

Reds taste like cardboard, and why buy XL engines if you're already planning on the jump to clan-tech which will make that expenditure worthless?

Drink more, post less.

[Xandergod]

I guess it's just he xp unlocks that do not transfer countries in WoT.

I want to get the Jagers mastered, but would modules for what I already have mastered be a better investment?

As there isn't a lot of information about CW and the Clans yet, I don't know if i'm going to play those mechs exclusively. I just want my timberwolf asap.

The court says I should drink less. Should probably listen the the judge.
