new mechbay challenge

I just checked my MW:O profile and saw, that we are going to have a Marik mechbay challenge this weekend.
Just to let you know - in case you are planning your weekend...

 

Unless the mechs I was levelling for the steiner one are covered by the Marik one I suspect I'm just going to wimp this time and run out a pre levelled up LRM boat or heavy ballistics setup. Not sure I want to bother punishing myself again this weekend just to level up completely new mechs.

 

Good eye. Thanks for the headsup Madgoose.

 

Mechs are already on sale. SHD-5M and RVN-3L, here we go !

 

Is the list of mechs available as I'm at home?

 

Not on the MWO site it seems, but it's already on sales so the list is on Smurfy's.

 

They also did the challenge a little different: a kill is 5 points, an assist is 1 point, gather 100 points to get your free mechbay.

 

so, half an hour of missile boating.

 

The challenge is nicer than the previous one. Last one saw a lot of *MUST GET THE KILL* Stupidity. :unsure: im talking about my self here. :angry:

p.s. i do see these sales as a great way to make people spend their C-bills, and then buy boosters or just buy MC.

 

I like this better. Promotes teamwork and solid gameplay, versus crazy and stupid attempts (of which I admit I was guilty of) to secure kills. It is also much more new player friendly than just plain kills.
My guess is it'll take most average players between 10 and 20 matches to complete this.

 

Soo pretty much the same mechs?

 

And we have a tournament this WE too:

God damn it. From recollection, there are more than few mechs out of the 8 I'm missing that are on this list. I'm going to have to sell spare omnipods for cbills to afford them since the last cbill sale wiped me out completely.

I WILL catch up you to, Remarius!

Oh well, tournament is completely secondary to leveling all these new mechs. This is going to be a shitty weekend and I'll expect to die every match and lose 66% of the time...

 

Remember, YOUR GOAL IS THE MECHBAY.
Who cares about winning as long as you get the kills and assists.

That having said, allowing assist to count really simplify things, which is good I guess. I say 10 matches tops. Most likely an hour.
Spam missile on each target, chain fire if you are winning in a landslide to steal kills. Die quickly if you are losing in a landslide. Oh, remember to quit as soon as you die. Choose weaken target to shoot at to ensure quick kill/assist. You should get around 10 points verage easily permatch, and usually much more.

Then I can go back to leveling.

 

Hm, I'm away from the PC until sunday afternoon. Very short window here but doable.

Glad I'm in Europe timezones now.

 

Everybody forgot the most important:

The purple be with you!

 

Not sure how much time I'll be able to put in, but I'll try to get on some of the boards. For the glory of mechspecs!

 

Who cares? Edo's not on sale and that's the only purple anyone ever needs.

 

Got my bay fairly easily with my 8R, and hit 1000 with 5 kills xD now I have enough bays for my new Vindicators when they come out

 

At least this one lets me use my CDA-3M. I forgot how much I loved that mech
