[Feedback] Pot of gold event

The PB is fun, it's just too bad that the 1E is so much better Once I finish this, the PB will go back to retirement to play the 1E instead.

 

yeah the quirks look really great, the PB is really the best way to get that xl190, especially on sale, but looks inferior.

I don't think/hope they are going to mess up with locust quirks again, but you never know...I can wait 3 days for the other 2

 

Will try later - packing for Iceland.

 

They just appeared when I ran a test match with the Gargoyle prime...

 

Dang, I actually have some Ⓒ-mechs.

I'll report monday on how pugs managed to make a very simple concept to win something....difficult

 

Unfortunately the (C) mechs don't get that extra bonus though

 

Ok made me laugh I admit. Am in 26 rounds and all qualified..... it really isn't hard.

 

Stupid question, I got a timberwolf 3 pack last winter, the prime has the (I) behind it, and that centurion we won, the AH, I'm pretty sure those are labeled champion mechs but getting the 150K bonus?

dear mother of god, please dont make me run that pirates bane is my only bonus mech ffs....its thee worse stats mech I have ever owned, and paid cash for, now mentally unable to sell it...

 

(I), (P), (S) and (G) are a hero effectively for c-bills. So is the AH.

 

I get 400-522k in a decent battle in the PB so....

 

40/40 so far - lights and assaults done.

 

I was very busy yesterday (and tired) so couldn't quite finish off any weight class...about 15/20 done on light, with 3 medium and 2 heavy done too. Should hopefully get more matches in tonight...

 

80/80. Thanks to the low match score requirement it wasn't much of a problem at all, the vast majority of the matches qualified. I used five mechs during the challenge: Huginn, Sparky, Gray Death, Timber Wolf Prime (I) and Misery.

Speaking of: I used the Hero Mech sale to buy the Gray Death, and calling this thing the single most worthless piece of garbage and the single most awful experience I ever had in this game would be putting it very, very lightly. I cannot get this thing to work for the life of me. Usually I'm a reasonably average pilot and I get around with Mediums pretty well, but this thing is armored with wet tissue paper and seems to keel over at the slightest provocation. My KDR in it is sitting at a glorious 9-22 which is way, way below all my other mediums. I tried several builds on it (Gauss + PPC, AC20 + 4 ML, 4 LL, UAC5 + MPL, UAC5 + 2 SRM4 + ML) and absolutely nothing clicks. Any of you got any idea on what to do with this thing?

 

Gray Death has some conceptual issues. Mainly, it is one of those hero mechs that doesn't do anything that another SHD can't do on its own...all it has is one extra energy slot over the 2D, and that's not much of a selling point.

 

Sadly, that more or less sums up most of the hero mechs right now. Some are fun, but they just don't really stand up to other mechs. There are some good ones, but quirks have made it so they are outclassed. For instance, Pirate's Bane has ECM, but its firepower is completely outclassed by the LCT-1E. Misery is still good, but the STK-4N and 5M both do things better now. Ember used to be THE light mech, but now the FS9-A and S outclass it. The list goes on and on...and only one of two heroes really stand out for having something special that the other mechs in their chassis can't do. In a way, it's too bad...but if they made them super strong in every way, they would be P2W mechs. Just needs some equalizing on quirks to make the heroes worth playing compared to normal variants.

 

Honestly, I've never liked the Oxide. The Jenner F was always the deadlier Jenner in my hands, I was never able to get the Oxide to work pre-or-post quirkening It's just sitting in my garage gathering dust until the end of time.

 

The Oxide is a great mech but unique playstile, love or hate.

In solo it's a lottery, if the team is static is going to be really boring to use. If it's active you can put up tremendous damage in a few minutes for the weight.

I don't have much time, probably I will do 40/80 but all in bonus mechs
