So I decided to try MWO again and I took out my trusty Dragon (best mech in the game) and proceeded to do more than double the damage of everyone in the game and we still lost horribly.

Oh well.

It's sort of telling that the most fun I've had in MWO in forever was tonight when someone accidentally gunned down the predictably pink Dire wolf of a 'hellokitty' on our team. It set off a chain reaction, random pubbies on our team abruptly turning on us and each other and disintegrating into a brawl that left half of the mechs disabled without having set foot outside the capture area of the base. One can only imagine what the other team thought when they came upon the twisted remnants. We had too few goons to guarantee victories like the old days, but there was at least a great deal of laughter while everyone hosed around and exploded.

That was no accident, I called for everyone to shoot him on mumble :D Best game of the night by far.

e: dude above me, we were using the Goonfleet coms last night. If you were in WoL before your credentials should still work.

I've never seen a man so thoroughly destroyed by way of a video game. I knew it was time to stop playing when I managed to take everything away from him right down to his terrible clan mates who frothed at the mouth to join what amounted to a goon funded prison camp.

I just saw a pair of real live gold Mechs, a dire wolf and a timber wolf. I was pleased that everyone was mocking them, except for one guy who insisted we should protect them at all costs. This game being what it is, I have absolutely no idea if he was being sarcastic or not.

On the one hand, this has actually happened with me in the past. On the other hand, usually it missed/was some Medium lasers at most if I wasn't in my Gauss Phract :v:

EDIT: I played windowed mode like a crazy person, so unthinkingly clicking M1 on the window was a bit more frequent.

Wang called him out as primary, the rest of us fired, I got the kill credit.

I don't know if an accidental shooting started it (since I was probably/totally drunk and not paying attention), but in the end isn't it just more important to shoot blues?

So it turns out I must've sold my cool Jenners for lovely robits when I had an older shittier computer that could barely Jenner. I have 1.2M cbills, and 7 robits. A stalker 3F and 5M, a cataphract 4X, hunches 4SP and 4P, and a Raven 3L. I understand almost all of those are garbage now except maybe the Stalkers since I can make them LRM boats. What should I sell to buy and reoutfit a glorious suicide SRM Jenner?

The good news is that engine in the Raven works great in the jenner, just save up enough for the chasis and you are pretty much done with the work you need for it.

Yeah I'm pretty sure its engine came from my old Jenner, I recall running through light mechs just shuffling the engine around. I'm sure I have enough SRMs divided among them robots to outfit a Jenner, too. I just need to figure out the right incantations to move poo poo around between mechs.

Also you get shitall from selling a chassis and all those you mentioned are not so bad. Jenners are cheap especially in august when alot of them will be on cbill sale.

I ran Rhino Stalkers and the Cancer Jenner all weekend for the mechbay challenge. Sometimes you still get hosed at range, but if you're willing to let the pubbies die as your shock troops before wading in you can still do pretty well with it.

But you're giving them content. The more people play the more robits they can shoot and the people you crushed over and over again will end up buying some overpowered $50 bullshit mech just so they can have an edge.
