Mechwarriors, Prove your Allegiance [CW Event]

Hmmm.... definitely not enough to get me to play CW. Hell, I'm not even playing MWO with Pillars of Eternity coming out yesterday

 

Amen to that.

 

LT, how is Pillars of Eternity, i was thinking of picking that up...
(Not that i have time to play it, but still)

 

Reason enough to not pick it up yet because it is a massive time sink.

I've never been great at RPGs and it's been forever since I played one so I'm not the best to judge. As long as you know what you're doing in an old school RPG game like this, I'm sure it's awesome. The magic classes are really well done. There is nothing in this game that hold's your hand at all, that is for sure, so I struggle a bit, but that's more of a me in an odd game genre, than the game itself. I actually did better when I only had 3 people in my party, now that I have six it's nothing but chaos and my offensive magic guys are launching fireballs on my own people, my defensive magic guys are buffing the ground instead of my party, and my rogue somehow gets boxed in by enemy fighters

 

May be hard to get the 20 points with all the ghost drops I seem to get.

 

Playing solo as usual, just won pugs vs 12 men in this [352 ] match (wanted to screen but I've been playing steam games recently and so I hit 12 ), pug side, we did have 3 player over 2400 and I had 12 kills but so far playing clans looks a lot easier then IS in CW.

5 matches, 4 wins (9 matches, 8 wins overall since I switched). And the loss was close, on IS it was the opposite usually playing solo as usual (really makes sense after all).

But in normal games the difference didn't feel that huge.

 

Shitty timing really for me as I don't currently have a clan deck and dudes are clan atm ....

 

Currently?

 

Sweet, I'll tip the SweC guys about it. Nice to have company.

 

I only got 2 drops in (we're still Davion side since we're faction jumping for mech bays)...and CW hasn't changed much First one in, I had a 5 or 6 man premade on my side...and neither them nor the PUGs on my side got half my damage/match score >< Second was full PUG, and same thing. Brokeback CW PUG matches for days Gonna hurt getting to 20 hehe...

 

So far, easy. Most have been pug on pug battles, got 8 points, and only 3 of those were 10-12 man drops.
If its an obvious 5+ man drop, I play coward and snipe, try and get an arty in, a UAV, work the point system instead of my usual bonzai dog off the chain tactic

 

Had the fortune (and time) to get 14 points last night through pugging. 20 should be reachable even with less playing time in these next 2 days. You do see some interesting drop decks with all the new people playing CW for this event.

 

classic

Some guy on the 12 man drop was talking crap- the usual...
we lost, badly, I STILL got high damage/score on my side and he missed it by one point, got a 79.
so, naturally, being the dapper gentleman I am, I parlayed taunts until he disconnected bwahahahaha
priceless

 

Another win solos vs 12 men. This time I hit the right key to screen.

 

Priceless!

 

I've only managed two drops so far. Both wins, but I play clans..

Really enjoyable though, both very close games.
