Any reason to keep the free Centurian-A if you've got one mastered?

    Bang for when your arm gets blown off immediately by any player who knows it is held together with Rice Paper and Wishes?

    Sigh. I don't want MWO to die. (At least until Star Citizen comes out.)

    While I still feel their upper management is borderline mentally-challenged in their communication, design approach, design implementation, mech/weapon balance...pretty much everything, in spite of itself, MWO is still a fun game part of the time.

    Since they're sorta trying lately to be better, I felt the need to recognize their efforts and actually threw money this weekend to the clan package. Much like puppies, PGI needs to be trained and rewarded after good behavior. A tear is starting to form in my eye from Grimm's comment above.

    No, you just change your name to Sun-Ting-Wong and zombie on.

    But yeah, unless they give YLW a little bit of extra upgrade, the current status isn't too good. An extra slot of Energy or Ballistic in each side torso won't hurt.

    They gave away a free mech, and did a 50% sale on all of the hero mechs. Both of which I'm sure was more of a test to make sure the mechanics worked in U.I2.0....

    Still though it was a free mech, with a free mech bay, and a sale that saved a good chunk of money if you were going to buy the assault hero mechs. That being the case I picked up some more MCs as a friend of mine just started into the game, and is enjoying it, and I don't hate it as much as I used to.

    I started thinking that, but recently, with more sales, i started thinking that they want us to use up the MC. With clans and maybe community warfare coming, MC will be required again. ( i might be thinking too positively)

    ^ He's got a point, they have a history of putting mechs on sale right before they add a new mech that drops the bottom out of the demand for the older one. Maybe they're milking the last of the money they can get out of the IS mechs before Clans and CW (Cynic: I wonder how they're going to use that to charge money?).

    Well if ya hate it then no sell her especially if ya need a mech bay. The boosted XP is a bit underwhelming adn mostly worthless once maxed out... could convert if wanted but ehh.

    Personally having a second would be nice to have different weapon loads but its a luxury.

    I got the Yen with 50% off so getting this free was a nice boost just gotta get a 3rd and finish the mech off. Both it and Yen I am enjoying,

    Yen is a great escort mech for other bigger targets, I try to stay near Atlai etc and support them they take the hits and I help them pound enemy to paste.

    A(C) I first though good god no but after upgrading to SRM6 with Artemis actually finding it can be quite a beast love how people go after the worthless gun arm, tried throwing a Machine gun in it just for grins but wasn't worth it, SRM's are a bit to hungry for ammo. / to open missile bays and viola some butt kicking in coming. Single volley doing 36 damage thats without Mediums too. Centurion is a good fun mech.
