So how do you actually participate in a match in community warfare? I signed on with Ghost Bear being my favorite clan out of the invading clans allowed and saw three planets on the list with any sort of activity, clicked enter and I was the only person there. I have more things to do than look at an empty screen so I checked all three and had the same response so I went and played Skyrim.

It can a bit of pain - I tend to minimise and do something else and restart the search if it takes more than 10 mins

I managed to get into a few faction games over the weekend. It can be a wait. I love the Mad Dog, that thing is a beast for only being 60 tons. I want another one but I guess it will be awhile since grinding C-Bills takes forever.

Did you even wait a full minute? It can take up to that long to just link you into a group let alone get you in a game. You need a bit more patience to play CW.

What factions or clans are you guys fighting for in CW? I've started playing MWO again after a longer break and thought it might be cool to drop with some of the dakka pilots once in a while.

Steiner - for the Archon - Melissa iirc. She's lovely.

Ghost Bears on the odd occasion I drop in.

I'm with CI, so it's whatever is voted on whenever the contract is up.

I think we're Kurita atm, all I know is I can get awake enough to play I get to use IS mechs in CW.

Our Merc group just changed from rassalhog (how the hell do you spell that) to Smoke jaguar to do some research on the clans play style to see how they do so well. So far I've only been able to conclude - because their mechs eat IS ones for breakfast. For some reason that upset a lot of people in my merc group.

The Free Rassalhague Republic.

As to clan mechs, in some ways they are better, but others IS is superior.

IS are faster and have more focused firepower.
Clans are more durable and boast more overall firepower.

It's all about knowing how to play them and how to face them.

Hrm. You know, that means I'd probably do better in a Clan mech, then. I'm more about the slow, steady war of attrition than fast Alpha-Strikes.

Try a direwolf, horrendously expensive, massively slow, can mount 4-6 UAC5s effectively.

In case anyone is still interested the third clan wave has just been announced.

Mhhmm... May have to get a shadow cat.. I love that mech.

The shadow cat has always been my favorite. I hope they get it right

Enjoying my new Panthers and Enforcers - great fun - anyone else having fun with them?

I am currently using the Enforcer 5D for the weekend challenge and having great fun as well. It's resilient and mobile while still packing enough weapons. I haven't really tried the Panther yet, although jump sniping with a somewhat fast mech should be fun.

Trying Panther with LRM 10 and 4 MPLs which seems fun

So far I have only used the Panther 10k with 2 ERPPCs and the Enforcer 5D with an UAC 5 and 2 ERLL. Both have been lots of fun and work really well with the builds.

The 5D does not have many quirks for the UAC 5 or ERLL but its still a blast using it like that.

I'm still not sure if/when I want to put any money into Wave III...

I love the Cauldron Born, I like the Shadowcat, and the lights a light... but do I put money into it!? ><

People are saying the 3d waves light might just be the most powerful light ever released so far. Basicly a fire starter with ecm in a compact spider sized package. I pray for our souls.

Shadow cats a goodie too. I will probably just get those two and skip the big fellas.

I want a Cauldronbourn but I can't justify spending that kind of money on this. Perhaps I'll grab it seperate when ti comes out, or wait awhile until I can grab it for C-bills

I am in Jade Falcon Prime. Pilot name Prawfut Bludskin

JFP is loyalist Jade Falcon unit (obviously lol)
We are not a competition group but we do train our pilots to be nearly comp level. Something I think any Steiner pilot here would attest to

I think you're in the wrong place there keltikhoa.

A MWO clan recruit post in an MWO thread. Whats wrong with that

I see someone is encroaching on our territory Ovion...

Actually, thought it was a different thread... on the MWOMERCS forum....

This is what I get for having too many tabs open at once, and not paying complete attention.

Carry on.

Lol I am there as well

I guess it would have been better not to throw up a recruitment as first post in this thread but whats done is done.

Nice to meet you. When is CI coming back to Steiner so I can meet you on the battlefield

No idea, I just go where the boss man tells me.

We're what... CGB? (Yes, CGB) at the moment.

Means I drop CW in Clan Mechs, but I go where I'm told.
(Or PUG.)

I have always been Steiner but may drop a few times with some of the other IS Houses to get the free Mechbays
