Officially... 144 hours in Steam. The number nerd in me is pleased that is an even square (12x12).

Beyond that, I have no clue how many hours I have put into playing, modding, and testing outside of Steam. I would say "many," but I expect it is under 100.

Twenty-three hours. In my defense, I had a lot on my plate at the time and my computer truly didn't perform well enough for me to want to sink big blocks of time into it. I also suck at the PvP therefore I didn't touch it beyond occasionally testing something or building a scenario for others to enjoy. (And making sure it was able to be won with all potential objectives.)

After watching the various campaign streams, I am fairly confident that the strategies used in beta are going to struggle a bit in the campaign. I was shocked how often in the early game that loadout and mech availability forces suboptimal drops and how important bring risk adverse was for long term success.

Man I watched one time a guy took more damage than he was paid, even if he sold his salvage. I was going "oh this is going to suck and I'll love it".

I thought the same thing.

That and when I saw a guy buy a ++ A/C 10 and the see him lose it (and the entire arm for that matter) by rushing in aggressively the next game really sobered me to the delicate nature of weapons and how loadouts are going to be a lot of Best Gear Avaliable...

Loses and damage are really going to hurt a d your “B” mechs are going to get a lot of work much less your alternate Mech Warriors

46 hours.

I enjoyed it, but it couldn’t hold my interest longer without the merc sim and story to tie the battles together. :)

I played me some hours worth of the Backer Beta, both PvE and then later PvP. It proved most FUN. : )

Played only about 12 hours. The game seemed good enough, but lack of mech and pilot customization and low amount of both meant that it quickly became boring for me, so I decided to wait for the full release so I won't get burnt out like with so many early access games.

I wonder if they will upgrade the backer beta prior to release so we get an early taste of the real game, that would be really cool.
