Recently my clan has been running 12 mans together and this is what we continue to come up against. We try to stay in the ballpark of the 750 tonnage limit, but apparently we are a rarity. Did you notice the 7 DDC's? Please, don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining. Most of the games like these we manage to out maneuver and out cap the giant blob of Endo Steel very easily. I just wanted to show people what MWO competitive play is like. Very e-sport worthy....

I am going with a Goon Swarm. They sync dropped 3 4 man teams, amazing!

This isn't competitive, I don't see a single 3D or HGN on their team.

[Agent 0 Fortune]

Don't worry PGI is going to add drop limits.
Of course the limit will be 1,190 tons. but that will be enough to really hurt some groups.

I don't think that is possible. We had a full 12 player party. The 1-4 man queue is entirely separate from the 12 man queue because anything otherwise would be very unbalanced. Pay attention.

Oh... Good then, Cause you just brought this back from crazy town. What you ran into was a shenanigans drop by Goons!

I don't mind it. We had fun playing against them in this particular match. I'd just like to say that in my experience that amount of tonnage is commonplace in competitive play. If the Goons were trying to troll it didn't work.

At least you are finding drops, Oceanic companies fielding 12 mans are a rarity and on the night we managed to get 12 people together we spent 20 minutes fighting against "Failed to find a match".

[Stoicblitzer]

this isn't competitive play. it's open 12man pugging. anything goes. HGN > AS7 (except for the K which is OP plz nerf).

who do we have to blame for this crappy game? P. G. I.

buy an overlord package and enjoy your ride to the mainland.

I wouln't call it Trolling. But I have seen 8 man Wang drops, Spartan missile shade matches, and everyone jump in a Jenner drops. It isn't to troll as much as it is to let off steam.

12 HGNs ought to be enough for everybody
Although, my money is on 1200t drop limit and PGI telling everybody who complains that they are on an island.

[Joseph Mallan]

Staten Island?

A few nights back, the lance I was grouped with took forever to have ELO find us something. Then we see the other eight on our team and much of the other side are Marik aligned. Better still, later in the game (on Alpine) we discover that everyone else was in a trial Raven. Pretty cool seeing them crest a hill en masse and then create mayhem.

Nothing too far wrong as long as all involved are having fun.

[Texas Merc]

those aren't goons btw

[Damocles69]

played MWLL for like 5 hours last night and had WAY more fun then i ever had playing this game. there you have to earn you assault mechs. not just roll into a match with 8 of em

Thanks or clarifying. I know they do use the Capellan Flag so I did assume.

[redreaper]

most people on the liao side dont like running such a overweight lance but its the nature of 12 mans without weight limits why should anyone bring anything other then ecm lights and assaults to do otherwise is to handicap yourself and your team which we have done in the past

Earn meaning take an Owens for 5 minutes, provide long range support. Then get a Daishi. Then get Firebombed and wish you were back in your owens lol.

I should play that again.. I made so many people rage over there.

[Johnny Reb]

Different times different 12 man composition! Not to mention just dropping all lights cause the new ppl to join are still in a match.
