I cant explain it. How the hell can 5+ teammates die in the first 3 minutes of the match unless they are bots and aimlessly run into the other team??


Nobody can be that bad....right?

I'd like to keep my faith in PUGs. I have to believe that players arent that bad... Just had 6 players die befoer th 4 minute mark.. It has to be bots.

Whenever I see a player with under 100 damage, I has a sad.


(Although I prefer to have an absolute bare minimum of 200 damage to not be ashamed).

I don't.. understand sometimes.
I notice it more from the enemy team, but the people that usually die first are lights or fast mediums.
They just run into the WHOLE TEAM and stay there, running around until they die in a few seconds.
Doing like.. 77 damage total. Why? You're not the flash. Stop doing that.

i had a situation where i was following a AS7-S and he just dove into the enemy ranks,
i knew he was a dead and didnt stand a chance, but i tried to get shots with my NVA(12M 12S) ,
well he died, so i retreated(Canyon), and started heading to my team moving across the cliffs,

i turned a corner, to half the enemy team, i was out in the open no cover no back up, they saw me,
it was a rookie mistake, and i knew i was dead, so i kept running and gunning with my ER-SL,

here is how the 5 seconds after i saw the enemy team played out before my death,
(right arm destroyed, left leg destroyed, left torso(and arm) destroyed, CT Cored)

one slip up could cost you, but than again this isnt COD this is MechWarrior,
im not saying its not bots, im saying its likely people made stupid mistakes,
and payed for them with their lives and mechs,

Just run the hell outta there. You'll take some heavy damage, your back will probably be cored, but you'll be alive.

Plenty of times in the past I'd find myself in similar situations and decided to go out fighting.

Nowadays if I get into that situation I just get out as fast as possible. Some of my highest damage games were ones I barely escaped from a bad situation cored, and went on to play the rest of the match.

Numbers matter. You may do a few mechs on the other team some decent damage before you fall, but you're far more beneficial to the team ALIVE.

Some people just suicide rush into the enemy team, disconnect, repeat. I figure they're trying to farm c-bills.

Or some people just like to fight and not hide, I generally rush in, usually get 1-2 kills and 300+ damage then I die.

it was too much, 1 KGC 1 AS7 1TBR 1HBK, and i noticed them just as the lasers started,
it was quick, i was too far up the creak with out a paddle, but my team was playing peka boo,
we lost 12-1, and it was a 13 minute game,

Here we go, I just posted this.. Something is seriously "F"d up...

Hit reg seemed off.. I mean really really off.
Also one mech had a loadout I have NEVER used on it and all of it's weapons were grouped on group 1..??? No I didn't take a trial mech, it had weapons in a place I have NEVER put them.\
Went to mech lab and PRESTO there they were, all "F"d up... huh..?? :blink:

Then, every team I was on seemed to perfom so badly that I had to check my pulse to see if I was still aive in the real world.

Is there some sort of server test going on, balance issue, anything..??
I haven't seen players perform this bad since closed beta when they were brand new.

Also, got the old DAMAGED mech, but no indication that I was being fired upon.
No flash, no impact... All of a sudden BINGO no CT or No side torso.

Saw this in closed Beta, but not for a long, long, long, long time...

I know there was a patch, but magically disappearing mech parts and hit reg going wonky really ruined what should have been a routine set of matches.

Before you chime in... Checked Network, Pinged, tested and NOTHING.
Then went into match and PRESTO... Magical happenings..

MWO game was pinging at normal 38 ping.. Checked that when things went funny.

Please don't tell me that a supposed patch fix has just set game experience back 1 & 3/4 years.
Is this some server test on NA vs Eu...??

Are they getting the minimum match core to collect a stocking stuffer?

Also could just be new accounts farming out their cadet bonus.

Hmmm, sounds like old news that some people like to lemmi-cide, seen it happen often enough without any apparent reason .
But then again some of my own maneuvers look suspiciously like that :P

while it is fun to make fun of pugs, newbies, baddies, or other assorted riffraff, we elite mechwarriors need to remember this game is alot harder to get to grips with than all other shooters. and sometimes people just have bad days, or make a dumb mistakes.

yes. even you.

You can fight a whole lot longer if you don't rush in and die like a jackass however.
