At a glance, I don't follow what we're pulling from this. Gift certificates? Fitbit stats? That the Archer is so bad you have to use it as substitute for coal in a stocking?

I guess the teaser was a bit too vague. There will be a live stream with prize giveaways a bit later on today.

The Mech is fine (it's probably the second best Cent chassis). My only gripe is that it's the same chassis anyone who has any kind of Loyalty reward already owns and it's the first giveaway since the Steam release, IE: I came back for the Steam release, got the Cent-AH(L) as a loyalty reward literally 1 week ago and now there's the same chassis (w/o the 30% C-Bills bonus) as a prize. Of course everything free is just gravy, but I would have been more thrilled if that was literally *any* other mech.

To be fair we could still have won if I had realized I only had one SRM shot left, not just spewing missiles randomly past the Marauder and instead headbutting him before firing, his center torso was open by the time he killed me and the only other thing left was the Spider with no weapons. I think you did warn me of that over voice comms so pretty much entirely my fault.

Got my stalkers elited a few days ago then sold them off. Great hardpoints on those things but not quite for me.

Wished they could either go faster or spread damage better. I swear 70% of incoming damage always goes into LT/RT.

A Rhino 3F is a very good mech. I just get bored of running the same thing all the time so I threw 4x LL and 2x ER PPCs with an XL 325 and as many heat sinks I could find so that I could realistically have a "sniper" mech. It's a terrible concept, but it worked fine in the random matches I played because pubbies are also terrible so it all works out. I'm going to try ERLL instead of regular LL probably tonight. I'm hoping I explode into a mushroom cloud when I alpha everything.

Half the time when I log in I go into the mechlab to find out what kind of an abomination I can create for the night.

Do you already own all of the mechs and mech modules that you want? If not, then no.

A good reason to is if it puts your weapon choices into a closer time sync. But bear in mind Cooldown means they still fire hot, but you can refire sooner, potentially increasing your heat accumulation. Range increases are percentage based so affect longer range weapons more.

dear whoever Psyonic is: I'm sorry I shot up your King Crab. I hope in time that we can be friends.

Also how does this Stormcrow look for someone who only has the B-variant for right now? When I can afford to I'll be picking up the other variants so I can use their parts/master the thing. The UAC/20 chews the gently caress out of heavy/assault backsides and woe betide the medium or light I catch standing still.

Hey, that was the match I dropped in a shitfit Shadowcat just to get my last 250 XP to finish the basic tier on it and died almost immediately!

EDIT: If you were the guy that blew his entire torso and only remaining weapons off, at least.

I'm not entirely sure what exactly I did, only that I got the kill on him and two other dorks, then marched down the mountain pass while the rest of the team died before getting clusterfucked near your cap point. Playing the King Crab for me is a time to just go into a fugue and wildly mash my weapon buttons while pointing at torsos.

I'd move a lot of that back armor to the front. I usually only keep 12 or less in the back center, and 8 or less in the sides.

Though that is in group play, if your uncoordinated pub dropping it may be a good idea to keep your own rear end covered.

Do endo instead of ferro if you can, and reduce your back armor by about half. could also take out the CASE as well and use weight savings to up the engine

otherwise not too bad. maybe something like this?
