    Personally, I'm kinda happy, since now I can pick up my TDK and start buying Commandos ;) I may do a bit more MC as well, haven't decided.

    Heros 50% off??? There are too many I want to buy and not enough MCs in my account...

    I think, I`m going to get Misery and Pirates Bane, maybe more if I grab some MCs. I was hoping that they would brind MechBays on sale too, I don`t have any at the Moment --> have to get one for every Hero I wanna buy^^

    Really like how they did a 35% off sale, then a couple weeks later a 50% off sale,

    right after I dropped ~$80 to build my pay 2 lose dropdeck.

    Fucking PGI didn't even reply to my email where I said "can i get hooked up this is wack i just bought these mechs 3 days ago..."

    w/e... suck my ass, universe

    This probably is the best sale they ever did. Black Friday style of bonus MC + PT 30% off and 50% off of all (!!:confused:) hero mechs all in one sale.

    Too bad I also bought 2 heroes at 35% off because I thought we won't see 50% sales again.

    My current recommendations for buying hero mechs:
    - Misery (strong assault hero, can go toe-on-toe with most clan mechs)
    - Golden Boy (awesome both at LRM5 spamming and for SRM brawling)
    - Sparky (IS laser vomit with JJs and +CBills)
    - Yen-Lo Wang (sort of an all-time favourite of mine, fast AC0 with + Cbills)

    And to a lesser extend
    - Firebrand (unique and probably 2nd best JM6 overall)
    - Huginn (unqiue play style including SRM4 face hugging)
    - Pirates' Bane (ECM scout with + CBills)

    I for myself am a sort of a collector here and am only missing a few one. I am looking at Anansi, X5 and La Malinche for this sale, any recommendations here? Gray Death sadly isn't very special among the SHDs, StIB has the best camo (Stormtrooper!) in game but not much else going for it and for the BLR hero... I still don't understand it. :confused:

    Ok, I'll be getting the Huginn, as that little bugger has been staring a me for a while now.
    However seen the high discount I will be getting one other as well.
    Thinking,
    Misery - I suck at assaults except Stalkers,...
    Sparky - Not a Griffin fan but I hear good stuff of it,...
    or
    Firebrand - I love Jaeger.

    Help me out here!

    Can anyone recommend any Hero mechs to me? I have enough MC for any of them. I generally play heavy and assault classes the most, but do not mind mediums either.

    I currently only have the Firebrand.

    My problem with hero mechs atm is I don't feel they have a place in my personal CW deck. They're superb c-bill generators but their quirks aren't as good as the current meta normal mechs as if PGI are terrified of having them being competitive and therefore being accused of P2W . Some are very useful like the ones @Aylek mentioned but if I wanted to go all out C-bill in CW I'd still go clan due to the omnipods as I have lots of "I" versions I could use and lose just a small % in effectiveness. Its interesting that they still have no way to do Clan Hero mechs from the last town hall as clan mechs are so fluid.

    On the other hand who knows in 6 months as maybe the quirks/meta will have changed again - look at the once ubiquitous ember that was sidelined for better quirked firestarters due to the quirk and pulse changes.

    Tempted to pick up a second Oxide or Hugin I have to admit as they're heavy hitting survivable mechs, or a second Firebrand/Sparky due to the hardpoints and decent quirks.

    @PyckenZot : Let's talk about it on TS this evening

    @WhoopieMonster : See my post above. If you like heavy and assault mechs you should get the Misery. It's worth it.
    About the other options: the Dragon twins are for fans only; IV4 looks nice, but not convincing; Muromets is too big of a target in my opinion; consider the Protector if you like Orions; Pretty Baby got awesome quirks but still has bad hardpoints; Dragon Slayer suffers like all the VTRs atm; BLR Hero: wtf?; love my Heavy Metal, but assault JJs suck and quirks aren't very good; La Malinche is on my short list, but not sure yet; Boar's Head works for me, but...

    Hmmm. I've always wanted an Orion.. I might give the protector a go! Time to go look at prospective builds! :)

    Thanks @Aylek.

    @WhoopieMonster The Orion is a monster,... Put 2 LB-10X and 3 ML on it and run Rampage,...

    Sparky is nice. If you haven't invest in Griffie then you can get this, then the 2N and choose another one.

    @enileph I have all resistance griffins elited, but haven't liked them so far. Am thus a bit sceptical but open to marketing stunts ;)

    How do people feel about the Grid Iron? Hunchbacks are an iconic battlemech and I don't actually have any yet.. :cry:

    For starters, it is seriously fun. A Gauss Machine gun of sorts,... I sadly enough am only able to give mediocre performances in it.
    Daelen Rottiger, an old MWO buddy, on the other hand, does miracles in that mech.

    I might get both, I do like Guass mechs :)

    I was saving for a Clan Hero, but I suspect that I will be waiting a very, very long time.

    Dang! Been saving all my free MC for a mechbay sale, and just about everything but mechbays go on sale!

    The Grid Iron can be nasty in the right hands...but I've only had a few stellar matches in it. The HBK is just not my mech ;)

    I've settled on getting the TDK for sure, and I will likely grab some extra MC and pick up the Huginn as well. That means the only light hero I won't own is the Anansi, and honestly, I don't really want it. Only want TDK because it's the fastest thing in the game, even over my Locusts, so I might as well ;) Plus I wanted to master Commandos for fun anyway.

    @Remarius Getting a second Sparky was an idea I just had as well. Would mean my future drop deck for CW would consist of 2x Sparky, 1x Griffin 2N and either Battlermaster 1G or Stalker 4N... not sure about that one yet, though.
