I grinded this out with the Arctic Cheetah and maxed all the skills on 3 of them, unlocking the module on one. Can I just sell the other 2 now without losing any of the skill bonuses (I needs me that mech bay space) or will that kill them?

You don't actually need to master them at all and only need to elite them if it's your first chassis of that weight class.

If anyone in WoL wants to do a few games of CW this evening (US) I could be down, we would need around 10 birds to help lessen the queue times, 12 is preferable because if there are baddies in the queue you will get near instant matches. Anywho, 3-5 matches and even if you are blind you should be able to unlock the first two loyalty tiers and get a sweet and free 'mechbay. e: Don't worry about dropdecks, a mix of the trials is ok especially if we have 12 because communication is KEY and teamwork is OP, plus we probably won't be fighting clans.

quote:Then that unlocks Elite masteries which luckily you don't need to max all 3 in order to unlock the Module mastery unlock. um, am I missing something? I'm staring at the skills panel right now for a mech that I have all the elite unlocks on and it says I still need to elite 3 variants in order to get the module mastery unlock.

That's how it works. Remember how you needed to basic other chassis to unlock elite? It's like that. Enjoy eliting two other variants of your chassis.

That's what I thought, it seemed like he was implying it was somehow different. Also, there is a huge difference between an elited mech and one that only has the basic masteries. that 2x multiplier is huge.

Cyrano4747 posted:That's what I thought, it seemed like he was implying it was somehow different. It's far less than it used to be though since the baseline for basic was nerfed in the recent balance pass. Which was a good thing to stop fresh mech chassis being completely worthless against anything until post skill grind. Mastery vs elite doesn't do a thing other than unlock that extra mech/weapon module slot. Which is nice to have.

Never sell your mechs though, you never know who is going to get nerfed and who is going to get buffed. Bad mechs become OP, OP mechs become crap.

Hey, recommend me some mechs to move into. I've elited most things I have from back when I played. I have: Loads of Atlas -df, 7k, rs and sl Cataphracts: muromets, 3d, 4x Stalker 5s Treb: Lights: Spider 5d, Jenner 7f, raven 3l So far I like playing with mediums. I've had a lot of fun with moderately fast trebuches, escorting goons and hunting lights. cataphracts are okay. Seem to die too easily even with max armor. Can't help but want a better option in that department. So far: I'm going to sell my cataphracts back once the muromets has the module slot. Stalker may go away as well.(builds worth using post ghost-heat and stuff would be helpful) I want to consolidate my lights into one model that's all around useful. ECM is a plus for group play. The ones I have really don't seem to be that good any more. I was looking at other models to buy to work on eliting them out, and the answer ended up being 'gently caress that, work on funner stuff, ditch them all.' Firestarters and Arctic Cheetas have already been brought to my attention: Which first? Any particular model to look at? Could use suggestions on fun mediums and heavies. Shadow Hawk/Cat(i forget which is the 'good' one constantly) and Thunderbolt? Assaults: I kind of miss my awesomes. I'm willing to try a banshee. I like my atlases, a lighter assault to fall back on might be fun to experiment with. WOuld be willing to try a banshee. Are highlanders, victors and zeus's any good or junk? Help me decide what mechs to buy next. I can afford to experiment and find something I like, 20m cbills to work with.

also before I forget holy poo poo don't spend your MC on colors. That's one of the few things that they actually give away somewhat regularly. Just since Halloween I've gotten at least six of them in various events. In the mean time it's not even like you see the color of your mech when you're playing. You don't, right? Because if you're in 3rd person you're doing it waaaaaay wrong. The way I see it there are two good ways to spend MC: 1) buy mech bays. 2) if you're having fun and you want to cut the grind for your 3 chassis of a mech you like down a bunch, buy a month of premium. By the time you run that you you'll probably be a bit bored but you'll have at least 3 mechs of your chosen type in good builds and be well on your way to skilling them up. As a "bonus" you'll have extra MC after you buy your premium which means you can: buy mech bays.

DancingShade posted:Nope. That's how it works. Remember how you needed to basic other chassis to unlock elite? It's like that. Is this a recent change? I've played off and on since closed beta and I don't remember ever needing to elite other variants to master any single one. Re: Lights: Arctic Cheetah is good and fun with 6x SPL. I'm by no means a great pilot and I've been cursed out in mumble for doing amazing things with the 6xSPL build. Firestarter is best played similar to the Cheetah, 6xSPL. Firestarter can't tank nearly as well, but I would recommend playing that before the Cheetah because the lack of ECM and survivability force you to be more clever/cautious. Once you've mastered Firestarters, Cheetahs are easy mode because you're used to being without ECM. Overall, if you can get away with something in a Firestarter, you can get away with it in a Cheetah. That's personal preference though. Ravens are decent, if you prefer sitting back and sniping the 3L is a great choice, although Ravens can do close range fighting as well. Huginn is fun missile vomit but it's a very different mechanic than the more common energy lights. Vorenus fucked around with this message at 21:44 on Dec 20, 2015 |

How else are you going to see your pimp ride. e: for all the fooforaw they did 3pv very well. it's really hard to fight in it, but it's nice for traversal.

No, to unlock the ability to buy elite skills you need to basic out three variants of the same mech. To unlock the ability to buy the master skill (which gives you an extra module slot only) you need to elite three mechs of the same weight class. They don't have to be variants of the same mech. i.e. if you want to master your Atlas and have previously mastered your Awesome you only need to basic out the two Atlas chassis that you don't want to keep, you don't have to elite them.

So am I the only one who hates that river city map? I don't think I've ever done well on it. I'm always stuck on the side where you just get one poo poo building for cover and then the whole team gets picked off by snipers no one can see or shoot at because the get a million pieces of cover and there doesn't ever seem to be a good way to approach it.
