novaSphere posted:Yes. The heat basics didn't get changed, but every one of the other basic skills did. OK. Yeah, I thought the heat didn't get hosed with. Frankly the heat alone makes eliting mechs worth it unless you're running a really heat neutral build. If all you want to do is chain fire AC5s stock heat is fine I guess, but if you want to get your wub on that x2 is a loving godsend. I've got 3 of my 4 Marauders mastered and going back to the one that's crawling through its basics is loving painful.

 Goon Inhouse Event Post I saw the positive responses to my post earlier so here's the announcement. Show up to the Goonrathi Mumble at this time on Saturday, January 9th (if you're in the eastern hemisphere, then sunday)  We will do most if not all of the suggested gimmicky bullshit for as long as people are still cool to keep going. PS: problem solved! if you have premium time banked or are willing to spend 250mc, please contact me (izov) because you gotta have premium time in order to make lobbies and i'm not giving PGI money.Love Stole the Day fucked around with this message at 23:02 on Jan 8, 2016 |

Off the top of my head, and putting aside the fact that you are blowing this up to be more than only about making a private lobby, which was the original context: Dota 2, Smite, and pretty much all of the other most highly rated f2p games on Steam. edit-- and since when are we defending PGI's money schemes? oh, how the narrative has changed.

I have some banked time I activated but i don't think it will still be active July 9th. On a different note, I recently purchased a Crab and while I was whirling it around in the Mechlab checking out my cool paint I noticed that it sports a little backpack looking thing on its rear. Does anyone know what hitbox this represents?

PGI's money scheme is just a bit weird in that it relies massively on extracting huge amounts of money from the whales for silly things like a month or two early access to mechs. Now you usually get most of your money from whales. The problem PGI created for themselves is that a combination of very little grinding to buy whatever mech you want without having to progress through a tree and a lack of cheap things worth spending money on means that casual players rapidly get bored and move on. Which is death for a F2P game because casual players are the content that keeps whales playing and spending their money. e: or you are Valve and make all your money off microtransactions because at any one time there are upwards of 600k people playing your game e2 \/\/ I know I'm blotting out those last few posts to the last bit of the convo Alchenar fucked around with this message at 23:42 on Jan 4, 2016 |

Are 300XLs good for anything besides Jenners? I've been eyeing that Marauder pack and if it helps me dive into lights then I'll pick it up. Come to think of it, what are useful engines to have these days?

I use 300XLs in all my Cicadas, and even a couple of my heavies (I run an XL in a Jagermech because there's no fun builds if you're not willing to immediately explode when someone pokes your side). Actually they might be my most used engine. Bait and Swatch posted:I thought he just wanted someone with premium to start the matches. How do I donate premium time?

Yeah, there will always be some goon with premium (I can't believe that might be accurate  ), but the reward should be having a drunk Backhack/Ohsh/G1mmel running spectator commontary.Goons are prone to poor fiscal choices tho, one may offer it, but it shouldn't be the default carrot for the event.

Ice Fist posted:It just means Alpine is dying a slow death. Which is exactly what it deserves. If you get that most holy of holies, Skirmish on Alpine, which you inevitably will because the people who vote for Alpine also always vote for Skirmish, just run off to a nice hiding place and power down. Say in chat that your baby suddenly needs attending to or something and that you'll be right back, then go watch youtube or read a book or even post on forums or whatever. Make sure your cockpit is facing a wall or something else to prevent the team from figuring out where you are. Force them to realize the error in their voting as they wait for the match to time out.
