Prime Time server/mode

[=KoS= Tripod]

Is anyone willing to make a server or mode (once a week or something) where you can only pilot prime mechs?

I find playing with primes very fun (suggested by Zeus) and it fixes many of the things that mess with the game currently (CGauss Uller and PPC Novacat, mainly)
Having a mode where you could play with only primes could be a unique and fun way to play the mod that feels more balanced IMO

Anyone else up for this idea?

This does actually sound fun.
Most primes are fun to play but badly outclassed by their alternatives, might be cool to see how they work if only used against equal opponents.

While you cannot restrict the buy menu to just Primes you could certainly have a gentlemen's agreement between everyone on the server to only use Prime versions of each mech. That might be interesting. CHH will have a 32 man WAR server when the port to Crysis WARs is released. We could certainly set up a Prime only server one night a week if there were enough interest to warrant it.

I predict there will be 13 Warhammers, 2 Ravens, and 2 Catapults. Maybe a Long Tom and one less Warhammer.

The only thing I'll be worrying about would be the Bushwhacker prime, because it's a little underwhelming, but with nearly all of the ROFLStomp variants being gone, it might stand more of a chance

Also, I'm pretty sure that Puma and Scat primes are the best way to take out LTs and missile campers (in my experience at least)

LT counter = BA

Do not forget the tanks.
I think the Demo Prime will absolutely dominate the field in a prime only game.
The Huit Prime would also be very dangerous in such a scenario

I actually think the Uziel Prime would be an excellent mech in this mode.

Primes only server? Excellent idea, count me in! I even think making "primes only" a special option, just like no turrets, would be very nice feature to have in MWLL for hardcore BT fans. Primes are very fun to play but, just as Delta said, they aren't a good match for minmaxed alt configs.

Cool idea!

[=CJW= Namarah (W)]

I agree. would be a lot of fun me thinks.

I totally agree, would really help you learn the strength of the mechs and not the boat weapons.

Sounds like a great idea! I'd definitely play there.

16 Novacat primes.
Interesting thing about that, actually...I have never seen a Novacat prime since the first week after the mech was introduced. Never, not one.

I think that's because it's a true Novacat, not an Easycat like some of the others.   Heat mgmt can be a little tricky, but really it is a great mech.  I jumped on an empty server just to see how easy Novacats are to use, all it did was make me loathe them.  The thing runs around, smooth as a whistle, and if its heat does spike it doesn't matter.  As soon as your weapons recharge your heat is already acceptable, if not wait one more second, then your golden.

Only Ncat I EVER take is the Prime, its the only one I respect. Since the crashcat scandal started though I don't take any Ncats at all.
