Got to love a number of the comments that were made. Many directed at me.
So tonight I patched my game. Spent a little time before making a list of decals I might want to purchase. Planning on purchasing some with what I get from all my saved Supply Caches now that I see the ones with 50MC have those as "Common". Got 13 keys, and picked the best 13 caches to open. Holding off until they fix Supply Caches since I see many are saying that they are not getting the rewards. Hotfix Thursday?
As usual, I sign on and run at least one game, just to make sure patch didn't break it. First match - Terra Therma. Again, I ask if anybody wanted to flank with me so they don't get shot in the arse by teammates. Surprisingly, a TBR accepted and we went off. As expected, the lights ran off in another direction, and the assaults and others from Bravo all jammed up one path.
We get to the next path over and see a Mauler heading for us, we both take ranged shots (me - 2xLPL) and he runs. Then we do the same to a Cyclops and he runs. We stay low so those in the center don't see us, but my TBR buddy starts to pick on something in the center. Before I can tell him to stay low, I see him getting shot from behind. Turn around, and another Cyclops is standing there. We both back off and start to team kill him. That's when I get a shot from my right, an Atlas. I move so he cannot get a shot on me, while still dumping 4xASRM4s into the Cyclops.
XL check. NOPE! Standard engine. Luckily, both assaults seem to focus on the TBR, who does his best to spread damage. But, I see he is constantly shutting down. Not good. Down goes the Cyclops to a CT alpha of SRMs, Now I turn to the Atlas, who charged past me. FREE BACK SHOTS!. Meanwhile, I start taking shots from behind. Down goes my TBR buddy. But before the Atlas turns I land another alpha of SRMs on him. BOOM! He goes down. I turn just in time to see that it was a SCat getting free shots off on me before I die.
In the end, our efforts paid off drawing others out of the center.
Did I get 2-3 members from the same team on my side? NOPE! But I got a 25% chance of that according to some. Since I've never had that happen to me in solo PUG, I'm due for a massive streak! So I have that going for me!
In the end, I "looked inward", wiped the tear from my eye (Yeah, NOT!), noticed I had top damage and match score, said to myself "Yeah, I do pretty damn well when I have a decent teammate backing me up, even with a non-Mastered JM6-A.", and signed off for the night. Didn't want to jinx it.
Don't believe me white knights? Just ask your buddies to check the logs. One game, one win, non-Mastered JM6-A that I was looking to get my double XP on for the night.
Comment away, I'm sure I've heard it all before. Yawn.
