Let's Discuss Alternate Accounts!

I was using my alt purely for m2 xp/bp until i wad able to get m3 xp. Now that i do, i dont need my alt anymore

Got it. Eventually I'll probably drop my alts too when I get the M3 versions on this account. Since I'm not a buyer, I live and die by sales. My Twins alt, Optimus-Kirk is first on the chopping block. Sad too since I love that nick.

well when you do get m3 and its upgraded // and reach gizmo levels then you will want to jump back and play with lower ranks ..i find its fun jumping from gizmo's to recruits..it makes the game more interesting also ..this way if your a weak player like me on rail or insida and stuff then this gives you the chance to improve

I'm actually playing on my alt now. I just jump back to my main once a day to do missions. Then back to my alt. I've started rotating my alts, dusting them off only after they have been idle long enough to collect the Welcome Back bonus. I know that's no way to rank my alts quickly, but I'm really not that interested in ranking them, just playing for fun when I've had enough of play at high ranks.

 

I hear you on turret and hull training on low ranks. That's why I created all of my alts. My first was braxton_walker to test out Freeze, which later changed to Firebird after TO ruined Freeze. Optimus-Kirk was my second to test out Mammoth-Shaft, and later Hunter-Thunder-Twins. Ironically, despite all those purchases (one was Predator kit), this is my highest ranked alt. Most recently, I created Vampire_Medic and Isida-Hornet-Wasp tester.

 

All of these are in the WO ranks, with Optimus being a bit farther along... third Lieutenant. I consider myself proficient with those turrets, although I'm out of practice on Fire and steering M1 Hunter is maddening after using M3+ Viking on my main. Depending on what I buy on my main during the May sale... M3 Twins or Isida, maybe Titan.... I just won't need a M1 or M2 version.

 

I'm toying with the idea of a Dictator-Vulcan alt. What do you guys think? Maybe repurpose an existing alt assuming I absorb the equipment on my main?

 

Edit/Update - instead of the usual supplies and crystals welcome back package, my FireWasp alt got 7 days of Premium as a welcome back bonus. I've ranked twice in a couple days of game play. I might make Second Lieutenant on that alt, and will squat until Firewall comes back. Then it is all over but the burning.

 

- Ok, I made Second Lieutenant. Now I just need to earn about 16k more crystals before Firewall returns to the garage.

 

- Mkay... I'm about halfway through Second Lieutenant and am doing just fine with Firebird M1. Firewall and the crazy price tag are becoming less attractive. Might just wait for sales and buy what I want in pieces.

 

Then again, maybe not. M2s are starting to show up in battles and my stuff can't hold it's own against Boar.
