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!

Firstly, I'm all for new players, and they have to start somewhere. I'm glad they're here and I try to be as patient as possible.

At least on my Oceanic server, where all the gates are always open, they've been making their way here the past few days. I made tier 1 in a week and it's been about 2 since Steam, so they're everywhere now. They'll get better though. We desperately needed the players.

He must be talking about CW coze wolfs thoses days are really funny ^^

The problem is not the new Players.
It is the broken Matchmaking. People have cried so much about waittimes. Now the "Be careful what you wish" case is here.
I would rather wait for a descent match, then be fast thrown into that current mess. The PSR needs a revamp. And some more "Tiers". At the moment even carrying a team with 5 Kills will often get you on the looser side. So no Rank gain there.

Use the Voip Luke.... and teach the padanoobs the way of the Mech!

Nothing like that where I'm at and I'm far from l33t tier.

Might be a couple mechs looking at their feet here and there but thats to be expected in the mid tier lyfe.

Not being nasty OP, but i'm betting YOU are also one of these "Newbs".
Seriously we just got a massive influx of new players, hows that a bad thing?, Its gonna take time for the new guys/gals to get up to speed.
Maybe offer some guidance hotshot!.

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

[Robot Kenshiro]

You are acting like an elitist which implies you yourself are good at the game (at least it appears you think so), so why is it that you apparently encounter t5/4 players (which is where most new steam players are) so often that it ruins the game for you?

I consider myself an average casual player (high t3-low t2) and i have to say i have not noticed any difference in match quality since the steam release. Something really does not add up with your complaint.

[DirePlayer]

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 !

OP has been playing since November 2012. And this is what made him quit?

[Mechteric]

There are on occasion bad games, like any multiplayer game will have, but the good ones make up for it. This one from last night we had a team that actually turned around to face an enemy rush and ended up beating them back
