First noticed last night but steam really has killed this game, loads of noobs on one team, people constantly running into one another and shooting each other trying to get a kill, 8 mechs chasing 2 around outside of HPG while 4 get massacred inside. Yesterday an entire assualt lance made of trial mechs. Few years of good fun on here but time to move on now!

Sooo... You don't want to see new players?

Give people a chance to learn, wow.

And running into people happens. I accidentally ran into an Atlas who was one bump away from death the other day and killed him. (was on my team) I certainly didn't mean to hit him and didn't think I was going to. It happens.

If I could change tiers with you I would. Personally I find those matches that you describe to be hilarious.

Hmmm... I had a bad game... there was a Steam launch the other day... must be related!

Off to the forums to tell a bunch of people, who seriously don't care, that I'm quitting!

That's not different from what we had before. You really shouldn't be so dramatic about it.

^ True story. Nothing has really changed with the hundred or so new steam players.

Everybody is new once, give them some slack.

Besides, if you really want to do something about it, take the time and help them (not in a condescending way either), and get the new players up to speed as fast as possible. Then things will get back to normal sooner, but with more players.

LOL. I think this is troll bait.

How could anyone be stupid enough to think that a transient effect like a release on Steam and an influx of new players that will only last so long could possibly wreck a game? These new players will learn the game over time and eventually become either vets or "bitter" vets ... either way the game will be better off in the long run. In the meantime, a few polite suggestions or tips might not go amiss

It is in fact several thousand new steam players.

I've been away a year and didn't bother while I was abroad, been back two weeks and noticed the change overnight. Stupid little things like throttle decay have a lot to answer for (should be off by default) as if you don't know you just accept it !

So true. It is brutal to have to click that "Settings " button and see how the game is configured by Default. Just so brutal...

"New" shouldn't mean "stupid" by Default. Get a clue and help yourself a little.

I love those threads....seriously.

I swear, as soon as he crawls out of the tier5 basement he will then complain that there is so many mean "metamechs" and instagibs and that he get 'rekt all the time by mastered mechs and how unfair life is...everyone had to start at some point and if you my dear OP are such a tremendously skilled player, me wonders how you are even able to see T5, because last time I checked T5 are the pariahs. Correct me if I am wrong.

Noobs are noobs, they gonna lern. But hey, why do you even play with so many noobs? as T3 you should stil have a good chance not to meet them. At leats not in masses s you describe. And if you really drop below T3 ten you are a noob yourself
