Hey I am coming back into the game after stopping playing right after launch. I have 17k of MC in my account from founders and am wondering what mechs I should buy with it.

Could I get an invite to WoL. I really don't want to sign up for a stupid rear end SC account for this game. Also whats a good wiki for builds?


Also is there still ghost heat for everything?

Is there some skill that causes weapons/items to weigh less?

I'm trying to build this http://mwo.smurfy-net.de/mechlab#i=300&l=8d167ce28e38c7ae3db6596e423f3fc6d968e940 but the weight does not work out at all. I have the right setting for DHS and stuff. What am I doing wrong?

My deck is mechs that I have fun playing. Hero CTF, Stalker, Cent and a GRF-2N.

I stopped playing in beta and just came back a few days ago and I have had top damage in CW a couple times. Play what you enjoy and don't be a slave to grognards who get grumpy at your choices. However make sure that you have a good setup for the mechs you love and don't be that guy with all LRMs.

Wish I could find a group that played CW at the times I do. I'm in Australia but I do shift work so I'm usually playing US or AU prime time depending on the day. Pubbies are just poo poo so poo poo. It's amazing watching a defend match being lost in the first wave.

I played MWO during beta and bought the founders pack, but haven't played since then. According to support "As a LEGENDARY founder you got 4 mechs + 20,000 MC + Founders tag and badges. We also added some mech rewards which will be injected when you log in into the client."

I seem to have 2160 premium hours too. What should I look at spending my mech bux on If anything? Or will the founders mechs be good enough for a while?

I used to play with WoL, do I need to request an invitation again?

Where did it show that you had the 2k premium hours. I should have the same on my account but I can't find them.

Was playing quick matches during AU prime time and heard firing from the start of the match then saw some Krensky grognard crying in chat. When I got to the lance I was proud to see 3 pubbies team killing a gold mech.

I've legit had some really fun matches on New Map, brawling or otherwise

it is the least fun map to fight Team Helios on though

It's easily the worst map in the game. Some maps are crap because pubbies choose to constantly go to one ares and get slaughtered. This map is just bad design. I have been in matches where they enemy wasn't spotted for 6 drat minutes. On top of that there is barley any cover for brawlers to move up so it is just a sniperfest.

Yeah, if they actually name and shame these "large groups of people" that they are talking about, otherwise just more smoke and mirrors from Russ the lying idiot.

Honestly I think he is lying too. The whole point of waiting saying nothing and gathering up data on who cheats is valid. It keeps the cheat devs from changing their program to make it harder to detect. The very moment Russ announced the supposed ban wave he basically told the cheat devs "we can see you"". No reason at all to do that before actually banning people. Unless of course they aren't banning anyone.

I bought the MAL-MX90 and put 5 AC/5s on it

it is very slow but it can stare down anything and is generally super cool and very good

Same here. I spent a few round watching other assaults try to run away when I start unloading on them. The screen shake must be unbearable. I stuck with the stock engine and maxed out everything but the legs. Slowest mech I have but when you have range like that who cares.

I also love that with the 5xAC5 I have to constantly fire through 3/4 of my ammo before I am even close to overheating. It is definitely going into my CW defend deck.

Since I am in Australia I don't get to play with WoL all that often. I usually have to painfully grind out the CW mech bays with pubbies. Some house pubbies and units are ok, but man the FRR units and pubbies are pants making GBS threads retards. These guys make your average MWO pubbie look like some kind of mech god.

Gat Damnnnn!!!!! Just dropped into a pubbie match with my ACH with flamers on Alpine. Another 2 pubbies in light with flamers+ECM teamed up and we looped around and picked off the enemies strung out line one by one. By the time they ran into our main group they were down 5 mechs. It was glorious. Coordinated flamers are loving EVIL.

Edit: I just witnessed Clan CW wave of heavy and assault mech get wrecked by a light/med rush with flamers. It was beautiful seeing so many laser boats shut down,start back up, fire and die. :supaburn:
