Ysa, I saw those prices.....******* crazy....Unless they get both UI 2.0 out (and working well) and a decently developed CW, they will be getting no more money from me.
The state of the game is just absolutely ridiculous considering we are 2 years into it and have gone............basically no where from a development standpoint.
It is definitely a different mech that you have to figure out how to play. I started to reuse mine last night since they buffed SRM's, but I was mostly destroyed because I have forgotten how to play it. Being WAY to aggressive. Also, really need an ECM mech....I HATE not having an ECM mech with me.
New NAIS stuff? I was unaware that things had been changed. Then again, I don't make any decisions there sooo.....ya.... I just like to pew pew things.
Not to take away anything from your performance, but people really overate damage done. You can get ridiculous amounts of damage done if you blow off every component, but its typically much easier to just focus fire and blow out the CT. I actually prefer to look at the score (how many deaths per team) and then compare that with how much damage was done. The lower the damage, the better the focus fire, the better the performance.
Spiders can be ROUGH in a medium mech. Even some heavies can get picked apart if you run low amounts of armor and get off on your own.
I wouldn't be too concerned about leaving Calli on his own. He kept getting himself separated from us when I was playing with them. Died a couple times because of it. Considering what you were running, playing guard and close range spotter for the Stalkers was a better setup anyway.
