Player Profile Spotlight : DarkMatter06

Player Profile: DarkMatter06

Getting started: Meet DarkMatter06!

Why do you play Mobile Strike?

DarkMatter06 has played Cyber almost from the beginning of the game launch. 

Originally from State 855, he gained a great deal of knowledge from his original Mobile Strike (now called Cyber) team fighting for CPs, but admittedly he says he was never a threat at GCP or other title events until he made the move to the Mechanized Division.

His appeal to the game has always been the fun he had as a team. Playing and fighting these early battles in the original game is what has sustained his time playing the game. This feeling is also what brought him to the Mech side of the game when the game transitioned back to “the feel of the early days of the game.”

Do you play Cybernetics or Mech? 

“I prefer Mech division over Cybernetic because it offered a new challenge. I’ve been playing Mobile Strike for 4 years. I started in Cyber and fought for CP’s back there as well. We had a lot of fun back in the day. I guess that’s what appealed to me about Mech. It was more like I remembered the Cyber side. But the Cyber dimension has gotten so far out of hand, I’d be lost over there now. In my opinion, the Cyber side of the game has always moved to fast. New drops every other day, it took the fun out of it. I’m hoping they won’t make the same mistakes with the Mech side.”

DarkMatter06’s Mech story

“My first alliance was DDB$ of 1570 State. I had an awesome team there that helped me grow from just trying to survive to battling for CP. I would not be the player I am without all the support of that alliance. We aligned ourselves with NERA from 1570 State and created a dominant force in that State. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Boston my R5 from the DDB$ alliance and Putz Nutz the R5 from NERA. These two guys had the foresight to come together early and forge an unbreakable mega alliance.”

What are your most memorable win and loss in Mobile Strike?

From those early beginnings in the Mech, DarkMatter06 had sights on taking the Mech “GCP” equivalent Nexus title. 

He knew that he was going to need an experienced team to take his gameplay to that next level to make this happen.

And that’s when he found TMK from 1556 State. 

“DarkDT was the R5 and right away pushed the entire alliance to get behind me and support my efforts to win my first Nexus. I learned so much from those guys. They took me in and treated me like family.”

That support and knowledge has propelled DarkMatter06 into the spotlight in the Mech division of Mobile Strike. As he, with his TMK team, went on to win the next Nexus title event.

“So we went to Nexus and dominated the event. It was my proudest moment in this game.”

But don’t think DarkMatter06 and his TMK team stopped there, they also went on to win the next Bunker battle event as well.

“We would go on to win two more Nexus events and one more bunker battle as well as winning the Vanquisher Battle.”

What are your best memories of the game?

“Following those victories I decided to move to State 1534 and joined the 1L4H alliance. These guys accepted me right into their family. They had never fought for Nexus before. So needless to say we had some growing pains. But within one hour we were working like a well-oiled machine. This alliance stepped up their game and supported me without hesitation. This (Nexus) undoubtedly was my greatest victory!”

“I was so overcome with emotions after the win, because of the competition. And the fact that my guys sacrificed a lot to support me. We all learned a lot about each other during this event. We united as a dominant “TEAM”, (and to me) THAT was the true victory.”

What advice would you give new players in Mobile Strike?

“My advice to upcoming players is to always surround yourself with knowledgeable players. Soak up all the information you can when you see them discussing battles, gear, mods, insignia, etc. I still learn every day. So never assume you’ve got it all figured out.” 

What are your thoughts on the Control Point play right now? 

“It seems that MS has overdone our attack stats making it near to impossible to hold a cp against a comparable base. They are releasing more defense stats now. So this will eventually sort itself out.”

What excites you about the game right now, I mean you have tackled the Nexus, what keeps your interest in the game?

For DarkMatter06, like so many long-time players, it is the people and the connections we have made in the game that keeps the interest alive in Mobile Strike.

There is one player, Dark Sable,  that has been by DarkMatter06’s side the entire journey.

“She has never let me down. Dark Sable will forever be the reason I am who I am and my heart ♥️ belongs to Sable!”

Conclusion

I hoped you enjoyed getting a backstage look at DarkMatter06. I know I did, and I was surprised to learn that he is from my home State of Mississippi. 

He is truly a southern gentleman who has a great deal of knowledge about Mobile Strike and specifically the small intricacies it takes to be a GCP contender base. 

This man also is approachable and willing to help, so if you see him and have a question or two about the Mech division don’t be hesitant to ask him. He will probably answer you before blowing your base off the control point, lol.

Happy Holidays to everyone and we will continue this series of player profiles next year. If anyone has a suggestion for a profile please leave it here in comments or reach out to us on one of our social media sites. See you in 2020!

See you on the battlefield,  Happy hunting!
