I have a strong aversion to paying for MMOs. I've played about 5 but have only ever payed for WOW, and that was a huge mistake.

However, this game is a lot of fun in big groups, so I'll be back, under a different name

Yeah this isn't really an MMO in the traditional sense, it's more like a FPS with lots of players.

And wait, the game is free up to BR6??  I thought that you couldn't do that anymore?  Fuck man, I'm gonna go and join this then and use my old Reserves character.  I thought they only had the 15 day free trail and then you HAD to pay.

EDIT:  Well I was on the New Conglomerate, for Glory!  Damn Vanu scum!

Your reservist account wont work, you need to make a new trial account

Yeah but doesn't the trial expire after a certain number of days and force me to buy?

Does anyone fucking read, you can keep making new trial accounts, as many as you want, with no credit card. Yes, you will have a new character you have to use, and start over, but BR 1 - 6 come extremely fast.

You can even make as many accounts as you want on the same email, so its pretty much like the old reservist system, except that you have to make a new character every 14 days.

Ah, hmm... might be interested then.  I don't like the idea of losing a character that I'll have to build back up to BR6 every 14 days though.

I got spore from BR1 - 5 in 2 hours, only 45 min of it being actual fighting

It took me probably... 12-16 hours to get BR6 c.c'  Then again, I average about 1 kill per hour.  At least I'm only instantly dying half the time I pilot something now though.  It's really fun to use flight vehicles with a PS2 controller.  But it's hell getting used to the fact they aren't "planes" per se', since they can hover and pivot in place, and they can't roll.

Inventory loadouts were what I meant, but a cert list is fine too.

Sorry in advance about being loud while playing this, especially toward gunners, to help curb my rage, here's a quick guide for gunners...

• Never shoot at BFRs unless told to or they notice you or you notice several friendlies converging fire
  
• Same goes for aircraft
  
• Reavers that notice you are #1 priority, your driver can dodge tank shells but they can not dodge reaver rockets
  
• Maxes are another priority target, especially AA and AV
  
• When not engaged constantly be moving the turret around to watch angles the driver can not
  
• Use the radar for target finding
  
• Railbeam = sniper rifle, also aim for the lower torso on infantry/maxes
  
• Aim for the cockpit in aircraft (puts more of the silhouette in the cone of fire)
  
• A deployed AMS is something worth sacrificing your tank over, dont be pegging infantry, other tanks, or aircraft if you zone in on one
  
• Call out threats to your driver, voice macro'd or over vent
  
• Leave infantry for last, you are better off not attacking a swarm of infantry who all have AV, because they will get under cover and start hammering you

Sorry I didn't play at all tonight. Downloaded, installed it, and set up my account, but it was going to take two hours to update. So I instead played some Bioshock and some Castle Crashers with Timepants.

But now I should be all set up and ready to go for next time.

[KorJax]

I think we should do an Allegiance day or something too, very kickin' rad free game with a heavy focus on teamwork and battle-strategy.

And even though it might be "quick" to get to BR 1-6 I'm someone who hates grinding at all and will not play a game involving it, so that would be a big no-no to me to grind that.  I'd rather just play the game from BR 1-6, but that would get annoying having to do that every 14 days.  But at this point' I'm just complaining about something free anyways so it's kinda a moot point

inventories, now.

also, should I use the enhanced zoom implant or the enhanced targeting implant while magrider gunning?

Targeting, its the first implant you should get regardless of what kind of character you have

[Versus]

About engineering...I'm at BR6 (on a free account) and if I drop engineering I can get UniMAX instead of just one of the MAX's.  You guys wouldn't mind repairing my ass right? 

[Versus]

have fun not being able to gun anything in a MAX suit.

also, driving mags is not my thing. I'm keeping Engineering though.
