    Whaaaat? Enlighten me. I'm in the market for a low end gaming rig. Need a 3rd for my other son so we can roll Terraria.

    Amazon is doing a day of sales on Amazon Prime to celebrate their 20th birthday.

    http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2064750

    They're hyping it as deals equal to or better than Black Friday type markdowns.

    I'm hoping I might be able to cobble together a meager upgrade on the sale.

    Be careful with Amazon- they have a history of marking things way up to make the discount look bigger. "This is 80% off!" *checks another site, where it's $5 more*

    Yep, always have an idea of what the shit costs elsewhere before the sale. Not just prime, but anywhere.

    I'm actually a little surprised amazon does stuff like that; it's at least theoretically illegal and they're big enough that they could draw a real class action

    Thanks for asking the same question I was going to ask @Buttcleft

    An August date would work better for me. Work is stressing me out so wouldn't be able to play around that time this month. Which really sucks since I was looking forward to getting my Arctic Cheetah and being able to play it the weekend they come out. That one day of Oosik scrums allowed me to wipe out all the negativity of this game so I'm fresh again and enjoying blowing up stompy bots.

    Plus I might go over to the Iron Oosiks to help out the numbers if we're going to do a civil war type deal.

    Wait, they are not destroyable? Glad I know that before I play since that was going to be the second thing I was going to try in the map.

    IS Tier List
    Clan Tier List

    My #1 highlight below.
    IS Heavies

    Why? even fully elited it runs terribly hot and as a result does not have longevity in a brawl.

  • GaslightGaslight Registered User regular
    So did they just pick the names and paint jobs for the too new premium 'mechs at random or what? I mean, I don't get them, thematically. Like, I guess the Quarantine is kind of a radioactive color and has the quarantine symbol on it, but the Top Dog is just... purple? Purple and hot pink? Because... why, exactly? I mean, premium 'mechs used to generally have some sort of thematic consistency with their names and paint jobs and stuff and now it's like, are you even trying?

    Hot fix:
    http://mwomercs.com/news/2015/07/1273-hotfix-scheduled-for-july-9th-at-3pm-pdt10pm-utc
    Greetings MechWarriors,

    We will be rolling out a hot-fix today (Thursday July 9th) tentatively scheduled for 3:00 PM PDT (10:00PM UTC), with the following changes:
    • Fixing an issue where the targeting reticle would sometimes not re-flash upon striking a target with a quick follow-up hit, most noticeably when the initial flash is fading out
    • Fixing performance issues for 32-bit clients resulting from the July 7th patch
    • Fixing an issue where components could still function despite appearing to be destroyed

    The estimated downtime required for this hot-fix will be approximately 30 minutes.

    When services are restored you will be required to apply a small patch.

    UPDATE: The map selection weight for River City will be increased once services are restored. It will have a 25% chance of being selected (up from a 16% chance).

    The Tier lists are not saying how good a mech is overall, or even within the meta, its for how well a mech performs at its designated function, so the Treb is Tier 2 for fire support.
