MechWarrior: Online - Catch all

Is there no NDA for founders?

Closed Beta = NDA.

Anyone going to be on Vent tonight? I sure could use some pointers. :roll:

I may be on later. Add SpyNavy to your in game friends list. I did the ridiculous 120 dollar package for the added bennies as opposed to the mechs, but all the mechs are kitted out pretty well.

I really hope this game has less of a grind than WoT. I've been trying to level past my A20 for over a month and I hate it.

Oh and if anyone has an orphaned beta key in need of a loving home I'd be glad to take it in. ;)

Dude, if you ever need help or want a platoon in WoT, look me up -- Biacksheep. We're on most evenings. Yes, it is Biacksheep. I have a few tanks I can run with your A-20. Sadly, I think you're really not going to like the T-34 either.

Would love to see more people playing this and going on Vent. I've been on and off for the past two months so hit me up at TempestBlayze in game.

Will do, is there a way to coordinate to get on same team?

Ya you can invite folks to a group and then join a match that way.

I was on vent for a few hours but didn't see anyone in the MWO channel.

Does the friend you're trying to add in-game have to be on at the time? Trying to add SpyNavy didn't seem to do anything... no message that an invite was sent, or anything. Anyone get friends added successfully?

Do we have a clan or faction? How does that work?

...theoretically that is.... not that any of us are in the beta.

I would love to have access to be able to do so

I think you can send invites out without folks online or at least it pretends to. When i start to play i'll check vent but if i dont see anyone i'll log off unless i know that folks are definitely coming.

The founders package is completely worth it.

I think I'm waiting to try it first. Never really been that big into Mech games in the past, although I think I owned a Mechwarrior game way back.

Plenty of good stuff to keep me busy in the meantime. I'm not opposed to buying a Founder's pack if I like it and they're still available, just like I did for Tribes.

Ok I am going to get in Vent around 9pm to try to coordinate adding to friends list those of us that have Founders access at this point.

Edit: I got Ran and Prop's invites so now we know that works off line. If there are others who have bought Founders - post your name and we can start populating Friends lists. A well coordinated Lance will run the table on the typical game.

I think I figured how to build a group, etc... I will be on this evening most likely - look forward to coordinated match play.

Awesome. I'm in under knight_templar. I'll try to get on Vent tonight. I want to give my modified Hunchback a try. I was able to modify it so it carries 2 A/C 5s, an A/C 2, AMS, and a Med Laser. Took a fair bit of modification (and compromise) to fit all that.

Spoke too soon. Got my issue figured out for the most part, so I'll try and be online this evening and on vent.

Just prepare for noobishness. I haven't played a game like this since MW2.

I think I'm signed up as moondrgn. After putting many days of play into WoT, I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with MWO, but I attribute much of this to the map I first started playing on, my newbness, and the beta UI's obtuseness and refusal to divulge any useful information.

But after reading the official boards for a bit, I think I'm a bit better equipped to actually shoot something.

I don't have Founder's, but I'm in the Beta. I believe my name in game is just Tkyl.

I think I am pretty solid on the mechanics so if we are in Vent tonight I'd be happy to advise. I've been an Atlas whore because I am trying to unlock the requirements to open the elite perks. Ive got one with:
3x LRM 15s
2x ER Lasers
And either an Ultra AC5 or Gauss depending on a tweak or two.

My others are variations on the theme.

An evening worth of matches and I should get my unlocks.

Whats the difference between ER/Pulse weapons?

If you are in the beta this thread is helpful: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/270...

Also ER is longer range and pulsed are usually heavier and have a slightly longer linger time. Pulsed generate slightly less heat as well believe.

Darn, wish I didn't have other plans tonight.

I'm on if anybody's planning on playing some. Don't have anybody on my friends list though.

Do we have a list of id's to add to the friends list somewhere or are we just sifting through the thread?

You know.. while I realize that we're all super excited about the game.. it *is* still under a heavily enforced NDA ya'll. And if you go back and check the forums, nowhere has anyone official said that it's lifted. In fact, there's rumor of folks who have gotten banned from the beta for breaking NDA. So, in the interest of not getting banned, can I recommend we dispense with the NDA violations?

So I was seriously considering pulling the trigger but at the price points listed, it's hard to justify. Can you guys even say it's worth paying $60? Or would you recommend waiting till the public beta to see how I like it?

depends on what you like about mech games. If you want an updated mech game then it's an easy $60. They also have a $30 price point.

Well hypothetically if we played last night we had a helluva good time. Vent is where it is at. I fear I am becoming a huge acolyte of this game.

Ok, you filthy enablers. I'm downloading now.

Good times. You missed a great one at the end.

Anyone on tonight?

Nope, because none of us are in the beta

I would be, but FiOS is down. I got some cool builds I was playing with including an Atlas going 65kph
