What has the player base been reduced to...serious people?
3 Dc's to start off on our team. Only to be met with the enemy actually bolting over to Cap.
When we made it known we would rather fight...the cap speed increased.

Play Conquest. That's the one that's designed for fighting. Assault has nothing to do with fighting, it's about base rushing. I realize the names are counter-intuitive but that's how it works.

Unfortunately the rewards for Conquest are a fraction of what Assault is, so if you want to play to fight you're going to make less than rush to base cap.

Also this weekend is Cap Rush weekend as people try to stack fast wins to rise in the ranks.

Wait until Monday. It'll calm down.

Play conquest, assault is all about that little homebase and the lolcappers.

We're getting closer to actual fair competition. In the past, I might have stepped off the cap if the other team seemed to be coming back for a fight because pubbies are terrible, but now I'd rather take a cap win than risk an unnecessary brawl. The pubbie tears more than make up for the lower pay out.

Also, if your team goes through upper city, you have no right to complain when the other team takes the quicker lower city route and caps you out.

So you were complaining about not getting a fight when you sat there and let them cap? Why not take the fight to them?

What really happened as the OP fails to mention is their team got into a dug in position and the enemy decided to flank around and draw them out by pinging their base. They didn't take the invitation to fight and lost. I mean the only way they couldn't get back in time was if they were going for a cap themselves and too far away. Even in a 8v5 situation, 5 mechs can still focus fire the first mech that gets in range and bring it to 7v5 before taking any damage themselves. Position can make that much of a difference, I know because I've won in similar circumstances.

Course an interesting bit of information was disclosed. 3 DC's off the bat. Well when I see that on the other team I typically will rush their base as normally thats where they will stick around since they have less numbers. I'd imagine thats what this other team did too.

OP you lost, you were outplayed, deal with it.

This is funny. In WoT the conversation goes like this. "OMG we left an entire flank open, we have no one covering base, or routes there to, we got a noob team. You all need to look at the map and react immediately changing your intended strats or we are going to get capped up like a bunchof nub idiots"

The way it goes in mechs "We left an entire flank open and got capped. How dare they. PGI fix this. QQ QQ QQ It is not fair! QQQQ QQ QQQ Q."

Get caught out of position, get capped. L2P.

Scrubs.

[SlXSlXSlX]

Spartans protect their cap. Can you?

[GalaxyBluestar]

at the moment win/loss ratio has an effect in this tourny thing, so the many people who complained about the lack of fighting are quiet happy to cap each match to get their win stats up.

it should go back to the normal amount forum whingers whinging about people not wanting to fight and we need a TDM ranting after this weekend.

for now stratagise against it with defence and good scout, oh yeah the warning all over the screen helps too.

Intrestingly i have seen it in other ways:
We went for the base and conquered it. Capped it on and then Challanged the Enemy Team via
Open Com to not Cap race and that we would stop when we meet in the Middle...
then the foolish still darted for our base when we had already
one Mech in the Cap and 3 other standing around...

Later the blamed us for Cap racing... but we challenged them for a battle, which they avoided and went into certain defeat.

Assault should be changed into a King of the Hill Type Game, that you have to conquer Theta Point and hold to win. But assault is fine and i seldom loose to Outcapping, because.. we use tactics.

Just once, I'd love to hear someone come up with an original way of saying, "I think you're being a sore loser." I know you all think you're devilishly smart, pouncing on the mildest of complaints in feeble attempts assert yourself, vomitting "QQ" while trying to ignore the fact that your tactful verbal parry is about a decade short of witty.

What's the matter? The U, M, A, and D keys on your keyboard worn out already? Or are they just sticky with sweat, *********, and idiocy?

Let's try this one on for size: "get f***ed"

[Thirdstar]

You're being a sore loser OP.

The devs really need to sort out all the disconnects. I'm sorry but there is no possible way all these people can't connect to a game. Its literally every single match at least 1 disconnect before the timer is even done. There really needs to be a ban of 24 hours if you disconnect from a match more than 5 times in a 24 hour period. For the people who just have ****** internet, get better internet. If you can't afford better internet, I hear Mcdonalds is hiring or get a paper route.
