Why did I never try the AC20 Raven? This poo poo is hilarious. Plus everyone hates on you for being a slow urby.

Yes but the heat scale in MWO is hosed and the bonus is meaningless.

Oh
I bought an X5 because I missed the sale and it's fun enough (+37℅ missile ROF on twin SRM2 still makes like no net heat so it's like machine guns that actually hurt) but holy poo poo missiles nonreg all the time and it's one of those special mechs with fewer module slots so goodbye target info gathering

And of course the Viper can do similar builds and fly because clan magic doesn't need quirks and

Oh crap I basically paid money for a cbill Jenner

Also isn't the tonnage scale between xl305+ and xl300 strange?

Still I broke 3:1 KDR with it! I will be the publord :smug:

Is that for everyone or just backers? I didn't give them any money because I was between jobs and broke during their kickstarter. :saddowns:

The best Raven was always the one with an LRM20 shoved in the NARC tube so it took about thirty seconds to fire a volley, one missile at a time.

New sale up on Resistance heroes. Seems like they really want to milk this "reskin old mechs" cow dry.

But then again there's an urbie with loving light bars so I guess if you absolutely have to give them :10bux: for something it should probably be this.

I'd hope that the police urbie at least has the lights functioning as a warhorn-style thing, where it flashes on a kill.

I think forever? They don't drop until June so at least that long, but I'm pretty sure since they're hero mechs they'll be on sale until :pgi: finally gets their MLM scheme up and running.

I guess stuff like the Legendary Founder packs and the various mechs that were given away in events (like the Centurion, Atlas, and King Crab with the celtic knot paint jobs) are probably it, huh?

The gold direwolves and timberwolves are completely sold out, there is literally no way they can ever be sold again as stock has run out!

Edit: Hmm can't find the gold mech page anywhere. Maybe they realized how bad that looked. Sorry prospective gold $500.00 kitfox buyers, that ship has sailed!

PGI literally sold palette swaps of clan mechs for $500.

And people bought them.

That's even before considering the ludicrous 'limited stock' of the things.

They probably won't sell the Phoenix pack again. They did a poll a while ago of people who had bought it to ask if they should be able to start selling it again and got an overwhelming NO. Doesn't stop them from doing it but it wouldn't be the smartest move.

Well of course if you poll the people who actually bought the pack they going to say 'gently caress no nobody else should be able to buy what I bought' because people in general are shitlords.

In the MWO Facebook group I'm in, there's at least one :qq: post a week about someone dropping in their gold 'Mech and getting legged or straight up killed by a teammate as soon as the match started.

"Why do I deserve to be punished for supporting the game?!"

Beet Wagon
Oct 19, 2015





Every time I see a gold mech it's always got some insane loadout and the person basically brought it out to have a laugh about how stupid everything is, so I usually just follow them around and we gently caress around and lose the game instead of legging them or whatever, particularly if it's one of the light mechs. There's more fun to be had watching both teams blow up about a gold mech than there is in legging them, I think.

Nah, I'd say the best fun is in legging or blowing out the rear CT of a gold mech.
