Ya, I've read his entire Wikipedia article a while back to understand what the whole thing was about.
We got some GAF games going last night. Should work fine unless they somehow fucked it up in the last 24 hours.
To be fair, you still get about 2000 more points to start with, and I never use the Cupcake because it sucks. 14440 points is enough to buy almost everything for every currently released mech, and a bunch of HC/XP boosters. I still have almost 10000 unspent points that I'm not sure what to do with.I was about to drop $100 on MC until I stumbled on that Vanguard Initiative thing. Then I got sad and changed my mind
If really bothers you that much, just don't play. Don't force yourself to like something you don't.
Good news! Sounds like they're adding a snow map soon.
Man I LOVED that map during alpha!
ratio before the match ends...I've only been on since open beta, but every TDM match for me is the same.
1. Load up a cool looking mech (c-class or bruiser or something nifty looking), start match.
2. Begin getting killed over and over by TOWs
3. Glance at the scoreboard at the 10 minute mark and see that I am something like 3k:10-12d
4. Load up the stupid CR-T and catch up my K
seriously, there ARE other mechs in the game. You wouldn't know it, because compared to the idiotic tv with legs everything else is horrible for these tiny phone booth maps with tons of cover.
Thanks, worked for me

I've started using mechs of other classes, and I agree that C-class are a bit too clunky for my liking. In the right hands, though, they can be deadly. Just like anything in the game, it seems. I capped my Assault and started on a Berserker, and to be honest, I think it's a little too frail for my taste. That doesn't mean you still can't do well with it, I just can't seem to do as well as I could with the Assault (about 2-5 more deaths per round).
4800HC or MC? If it's MC, everyone got all of their MC cleared for open beta, and only people with the Vanguard initiative had any to start.
"Just as when humans learned to walk upright! THAT is the real evolution in weaponry!"
The Sharpshooter could definitely use a buff. Maybe not as powerful as it was in the closed betas, but right now it seems a little weak. I've got mine to 12, but I'm not sure I want to keep leveling it. I'm probably going to try the Brawler after I finish Berserker.
It sounds like you're playing Team Deathmatch. The C-class mechs are more meant for objective gametypes. They're awesome at defending silos in Missile Assault, and the AA in Siege. I would try a few rounds of those before writing them off completely.
I played in the Alpha, but never got around to messing with the Closed Beta.
The guy who is 0-18 in that picture has almost a 500 ping. That's practically unplayable in any online game, so his score can be attributed to that rather than skill.
I've had like a 6:1 K/D ratio in every TDM game I've played today. Far more profitable for EXP than FFA. With a 2x EXP boost I was getting like ~3.5-4k EXP per match.
ratio alone doesn't count for much. (I wonder if anyone's broken 3800 XP in one match in here?) Is EXP based upon how much %dmg a player did towards the kill?Not really. K
Either way, I just can't stand TDM, so I won't touch it.
I don't feel like the learning curve is that steep. The skill cap is a lot higher than many modern shooters, but it can't have that huge of an impact, right? Maybe people don't go through training like they should be. It teaches you everything you need to know!
I didn't even think about that, good idea.
Yeah, playing on UK servers late at night is a chore.
Easily possible in Siege and Missile Assault matches. I've broken 5000 before.
Kind of. It's not a direct %->EXP conversion, but some kind of combination of % total and total damage done.
I feel like it's a combination of not playing the tutorial and not spending 30 seconds looking at the keyboard configuration in the options menu.
Those matches also tend to last longer than 15 minutes. I guess I should add that as a qualifier.
