So, I know there is silver and gold currency, like in WoT, but how does the xp system work?
Xp are earned at the end of the match, depending on your performance. They can be used to unlock a number of rather minor skills ( 2,5% bonus, can only be unlocked once, so no skilllevels 1-5 like in eve ) for each mech.
There's free and specific exp. used on each mech to buy skills that give % bonus to certain attributes. Three tiers to the skills, unlock them all to move up in the variants.
A pretty good post: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/171...ies-and-trees/
Subject to change, of course. For example, there's been talk about role-specific XP bonuses, such as XP for capturing enemy base and XP for spotting targets for the team.
Thanks for the info.
"When a pilot unlocks a skill (some skills may require more than 1 Pilot Point) the module to use it becomes unlocked at the store. You must go and purchase the module(s) at the store and equip them in an open slot on your mech."
So, Modules =/= Weapons. Those are freely available for mechbucks, right? I like that.
Pilot skills are not implemented at all, and we have no idea how they will work, or what pilot-related modules will exist.

...but yeah, nice damage, nice range, and does only about ~20 points of damage when destroyed. (If and when that gets implemented. Though it assumably is a good deal easier to hit with a crit than ammunition, but a ton of ammunition is supposed to be ~200 points of damage. Of course, game values may differ from tabletop values.)

One of the things that was awesome about MW:LL was the ginormous mushroom cloud from fusion reactor breaches. No other mech game has done it right like this!
Have gone on a bug MechWarrior buzz now and am playing mw4: mercs. FINALLY got that fucking free version to install and run. Had to disable antivirus (mse) and xfire.
Think they stated there will be no reactors going critical.
After a game you will have to repair your 'Mech, players may think it looks cool when someone goes supercritical but they sure as hell won't appreciate having to buy the entire 'Mech and all modules again when it happens to them. So yeah, no going nuclear.
1. use cryengine for your game
2. don't implement destructible environments, or cool explosions when mechs die
3. ???
4. Profit!
That said, the game does look great. I like how hits visibly heat up parts of the enemy mechs. Of course gameplay is priority #1 so fancy graphical frills come later (want to stomp trees tho).

I'm probably going full retard but I don't think I've managed to damage anyone else yet. I know I hit a motherfucker but they just seem to no the fuck you didn't me in the face. Son I am dissapoint.

When the armor heats up, the next shots will go right through it and damage the inner components. It's not only eye candy.

If it was an Atlas it's worth noting only the left side of it's face (your right) counts as the head hitbox as that's where the pilot is, if not then make sure you're not using PPC's at less than 90m or LRMs at less than 180m because you won't do damage.
Wait seriously? If so, that probably explains a lot of the times I've taken an alpha to the CT for like 90% armor damage, then was instakilled on the second hit.When the armor heats up, the next shots will go right through it and damage the inner components. It's not only eye candy.
Most of the mechwarrior games are like that. The key is not spreading damage across multiple sections in a single shot. You might try running a fast SRM boat and trying to blow away peoples rear armor until you get the hang of it. I've had really good luck doing so with a 300XL centurion + 16 SRM launchers and a few tons of ammo. Also gauss rifles and large bore ACs are great when fired from the same section.

Not sure if srs... the colours on your readout of their armour correspond to the amount remaining, it goes green-->yellow-->red-->black (disappears, it's a black background) Then the internal sections follow the same pattern, heat does not effect armour. If you mean on the actual models then the heat bloom is left by impacts/burns and again does not directly indicate that section is heavily damaged but shows that it has just taken those hits, if don means use the thermal vision to better asses where you hit with the first salvo then try to concentrate on that section then that could work, but it's not as accurate as locking them and using your HUD info. Who told you heat affected the protection afforded by armour don?.When the armor heats up, the next shots will go right through it and damage the inner components. It's not only eye candy.
