Mechwarrior Online Mercenary Corps Invitation

So, as you may or may not know, there is a new MMO Mechwarrior game in production that seems to have a lot of promise. The community for it has gotten huge, and for as long as there has been talk about it there have been people splitting off into their respective factions.

For those who don't know, the idea is that people will either join one of the Houses (Inner Sphere political factions...think Countries, except each has a crapton of planets they control), run solo (generally not recommended, but might work for some people), or join a Mercenary Corps (less emphasis on territory control and large-scale strategy, more on tight-knit tactics and strategy, and making the monies). For those interested in the latter, read on.

I would like to formally invite any Icrontian interested to come join us in the esteemed mercenary corps Dargon's Draught. While the game is still in closed beta and factions have not come into play in any official capacity, I want to give early word that Icrontians have a mercenary corps that they can call home.

If you're interested, leave word here or shoot me a PM and when the game hits open beta we'll start planning our moves (even before factions are integrated if they aren't when it hits open beta). If you're not interested but still want people to play with, post your pilot name (mine is midga) and we'll still slag some steel together :)

If you're interested in joining the closed beta, you can do so by purchasing a Founder's Pack which will net you in-game benefits once it goes live as well. If you're already in the closed beta, don't violate the NDA by saying so here. PMs are a wonderful thing.

    The amount of beta applications they actually accept is next to nill, the Founder program exists for those who really REALLY want to get into the beta.

    As the devs have stated MWO is a free to play game but only in the sense that one is only going to pay for something they deem 'worth' paying for.

    In light of that statement I would assume it goes for beta access as well. (Course it'll go open eventually, the closed beta is really just for people who are insane Battletech fans)

    Hunchie is best hunch. Seriously I wish I had grabbed one instead of a cata.

    Hunchie has been my fav for years. It was the first one I had of the awesome toy line they had years ago.

    Clan mechs won't show up till 2013...goddammit I need my vulture...

    Surprisingly easy to set up and jump in. Played a few assault matches last night with my trusty Catapult. Sucked bad, but I had a lot of fun!
  • midgamidga "There's so much hot dog in Rome" ~digi (> ^.(> O_o)> Icrontian
    That hunchie's got two humps! o_o (and I realize the 4SP variant has two humps, but they're missile racks and not autocannons...so there)

    cool toy, though :D

    I played about 10 matches since yesterday. Only takes a moment to get in a game, gameplay is just as I remembered MWLL. Name is Crisis.

    Been playing for three weeks. AWESOME with a crap load LRMs. Really like the game so far. Controls need to be tweaked.

    I could totally make a LoL joke about the newest patch but I wont.

    Simply enough my game appears to be fragged, game crashes right on the login, and despite the supports assurance that a fresh install will fix it the patcher itself seems to love breaking at 4/19 (20 now) so it seems that until they either rollback to 18 or find a way to fix their own patcher I'm stuck. (Also I've tried deleting everything to do with MWO before a reinstall even going as far as using a fresh-out-of-the-box 1TB HDD I had on me to fix it, but alas nothing is working)

    Oh Joy Oh Bliss now its crashing on patch 1/20...

    ...I just want to be an LRM boat again...

    Having two monitors but still notice the lovely glitch of being bounced out of the active game window even though I have it set to full screen. Usually during battle while pressing/holding down buttons and mousing at the same time... POOF, back to desktop with the game still running.
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    I'm getting patcher crashes on the last patch ... tried running as admin and regular, same result. That's some lame shit.

    Yeah they broke everything today, can't even uninstall the blasted thing due to a log error (Have to rip out everything manually)

    That and the devs are being pretty silent on the forums so methinks something's up.

  • UPSLynxUPSLynx :KAPPA: Redwood City, CA Icrontian
    Alright, I'm finna gonna play some of this tonight. Who's in?

    Also, add me - UPSLynx
  • UPSLynxUPSLynx :KAPPA: Redwood City, CA Icrontian
    Can 'mechs go critical and explode real big in this? I've only got one match under my belt, but I didn't see any crits.
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    I have an EVE roam tonight, but if you guys are still on after that concludes I'll jump in. Same name.

    Yes
    No, they just rag doll into awkward poses.
  • IlriyasIlriyas The Syrupy Canadian Toronto, Ontario Icrontian
    I'm up for it just pm over steam or IC or whatever

    Ilriyas, as if it would be anything else.

    Also your mech does sort of 'explode' if you overheat the engine too much but all that really happens is you fall over. Hopefully they add in critical deaths later.
  • QCHQCH Ancient Guru Chicago Area - USA Icrontian
    Oh, the deaths can be fun to watch as ammo starts exploding but not big fireworks.
  • UPSLynxUPSLynx :KAPPA: Redwood City, CA Icrontian
    Patcher is crashing on me befor I even get the game installed :(
  • TushonTushon I'm scared, Coach Alexandria, VA Icrontian
    Try running it as admin, a couple times, etc, and then uninstall, deletee all folders and then reinstall.
  • DocFrazierDocFrazier Gladbrook, IA Icrontian
    I'm in, when I can get into the game. No founders pack for me, but I want a Mad Cat anyway....
