I admit, I bought more mechs than I thought I would. The Family'Jizah grows. But now I wonder what to do. Do I have all the mechs? No. I have one of most of the mechs, barring two free assaults.

 

I'm kinda iffy on items. I either forget I have them, accidentally use them, or use them poorly most of the times. As for the mechs...

 

Barring Tech and Reaper, I'm not getting any A-Classes in the forseeable future. I'm more comfortable with slower mechs and my laptop isn't exactly a beast of a computer. I still worry about choppy framerates and considering it can drop in the single digits using a high speed unit might not be...possible. At least with the Reaper I have a sniper unit, so I don't *need* to be all close and mobile.

 

Not getting a Brawler because... eh.

 

Considering a G2 Raider, not sure yet.

 

Vanguard I've also considered. Not sure if I'll get that.

 

I have the Reaper, so I won't get a Sharpshooter.

 

I am not buying multiples of a mech I already have either. Silly Gooses.

 

I kinda wish there were some thick line reticules for me to use. Certainly could use one or two.

 

Maybe I should just hoard all my money. Maybe I'll even break 15000. And then 15001!

 

How was your day?

Search your feelings.

On the serious side, this is your best choice, since you seem to have some sort of distaste for the Brawler. The Vanguard is tactically flexible and while it is the lightest of the C's is it also the fastest. Its only weakness is long-range combat.

 

Still, if you're completely at a loss for a mech, blow money on reticules and HUD colours. You'll be back for more.

Are you sure about this? I have multiples set up for different roles - for example, for Seige I used to run 2 Scouts - one with internals set up for EU running/escape & evasion (extractor/shield/barrier) and the other for combat.  You can switch weapons before you spawn, but not items and internals.

 

I suppose you could save for (wishing upon a star now) the next G2 or whatever.

 

The Sharpshooter has more armor than the Reaper. I don't think either lend themselves to low framerate gameplay, not like something equipped with Hellfires, EOCs, or any other area-of-effect weaponry does (from a distance).

Shouldn't PepeKenobi be the one saying this line? :)

Just not feelin' it's capabilities, bro.

(((I have multiple setups for different roles as well. As separate mechs. Not trying to be smart, I'm just saying, )))

(((I use Slug Reaper and avoid close combat, so if the framerate gets super low... well that usually doesn't happen as I'm not in the thick of things. It was also my first mech after Freddy .)))

Honestly, if this is the case, you're probably better off with the SS. It doesn't do nearly as well in CQC as the Reaper and does even better at range. Watch vids by devotion (karkat on twitch) because he's probably the best top-tier sniper at staying out of CQC and still carrying.

I kinda don't want 2 sniper mechs, really. I already know SS can deal more damage, but I'm fine with Reaper. And I feel like if I did get another sniper mech it would be a waste.

 

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike SS. But as I said earlier, I'd prefer to have separate mechs for different roles, and having a second sniper doesn't sit well with me.

It's just about finding your playstyle. In my opinion your best bet is to get to understand how the different mechs work before buying anything and then compare that to how you want to play. Also don't take anything other's say to you too seriously, it's not about their opinion but yours.

 

Of course your opinion is bound to change once you get more experienced in the game and your 'beginnerishness' wears off (i don't think that's a word but hopefully you'll get my point) I personally thought i would be never be playing anything besides tech after i first bought it. lol.

Worst comes to worse the fact of the matter is we are on standby for more content. I mean, once they do come out with some, likely it will take out at leasthalf of what you've got, maybe.

Alternatively, start using items more often. It will help you progress as a player and they come in handy when you know how to use them. So just start trying to figure out when to use them.

This is a silly question, as it's both one that only you can answer and one that will eventually become moot, as once you have spent enough time and collected all the mechs - you'll realize the order you bought them in was nearly completely irrelevant.

Practice them all to master them all. At least up to the complete mech achievements.

 

Then you 'll know the pros/cons and what are the ones you prefer and what are the best for each map / team configuration.

I have the Pred. Didn't you post in a thread of mine where I explicitly state that I have a Pred?

(((I'm actually not interested in mastering them all. I've even played the Scout during the test drive and, while the speed was impressive, it didn't make me get one.)))

 

At least up to the complete mech achievements.

 

(((I'm also not trying to get all the achievements, or even all the mech based ones)))

 

 

This is a silly question, as it's both one that only you can answer and one that will eventually become moot, as once you have spent enough time and collected all the mechs - you'll realize the order you bought them in was nearly completely irrelevant.

 

Maybe, far, far down the line, maybe by next winter, I dunno... maybe I will be bored enough to buy the mechs.

 

But chances are, no, I won't get all the mechs in the foreseeable future.

Buy holotaunts for the celebrations of the burning chassis of your dead enemies. All the holotaunts.

You made a post like this last week, and this one is even more vague. Just pick whatever you want. You're going to anyway.

 

----

 

I have $10, should I buy McDonald's, Taco Bell, Subway, or Burger King?

 

I had McDonald's for dinner last night, and Taco Bell for lunch yesterday.

 

I'm not gonna eat Arby's because... eh.

 

Wendy's I've also considered. Not sure if I'll get that.

I have Hot Pockets, so I won't get a pizza.

I kinda wish there were some thick French fries for me to eat. Certainly could use one or two.

Maybe I should just hoard all my money. Maybe I'll even break $15. And then $15.01!

How was your day?

Congrats, Kasei. You are the very second person with a post here that I liked.

 

Also the last thread was "which should I get". This thread? This was rambling.
