Group of 4 dropping in ECM ravens.

This is becoming a pandemic.


4x(Raven lag shield + OP ECM + small center Torso Hitbox + No tripping) = no fun for opposing team.
All we can do is hope for them to fix these collection of small problems. The raven itself isn't broken

You forgot two other things,
no tripping, and firing delay

[DONTBROMEBRO]

Yeah I really hope they change something to put a stop to this. I'm a pretty new player but already this is getting old. Played a match earlier and watched all of the capture points being capped by the enemy at the same time before we even made contact. I knew the locus swarm was coming soon and sure enough 4 ECM Ravens were soon on top of us. We killed off all of the enemies larger mechs but in the end the Ravens were the only thing left standing.

One group = pandemic? Just take a break and play later when they are offline.

It's not one group of the same 4 people. there's many people doing this. that's the issue. I've always loved the 3L ever since we could play it, but now I refuse to play it because everyone has ruined it for me. I'm getting called "noob player" when I like to play the mech I've loved since the start. It's a huge mass of problems all coming together at one point and it's no fun. I've loved the raven for it's side windows mostly. I used free-look so much to avoid getting tripped.

And now, I see 4 light mechs butt-humping their way to the base, circling one mech, smashing into each other with no consequence.. ****** me off so much at the lack of skill these people need... They don't even care about their surroundings, who'se coming at them on their side, etc. Can't wait till tripping comes back, and makes them hate lights because they fail at piloting.

PGI jacked this game up. It had such promise and now it's a griefer's paradise. It's just a mediocre game from a mediocre developer.

ive only seen this once in the past week.
It was today and we crushed them.. its a pain with the hitbox but its doable.

They don't tend to make the best decisions .but they are getting better.

Lag shield, Mech tripping, Fire delay can all be fixed with the upcoming netcode solution.

Provided they don't **** it up.

LOL what?!

[PiemasterXL]

Whew, thought you were talking 'bout me, but my Raven is black n yellow.

[StalaggtIKE]

Yeah I've ran into them a couple of times. They chatted things like "OMG, ECM!" and "So, pro." That kind of stuff. I took that they were mocking the mess ECM turned out to be. Once they were on my team, won an Assault game through kills in like less than 15 minutes. LOL. I ran COM-2D.

Remember, you can always get some bad luck. I had a game where my 4man dropped 1 3L, 1 2x (leveling) and 2 mediums... got matched up with 3 ECM Commando's and another medium. Needless to say game was under 3min, all 3 of their mediums were grouped and stunned and light mechs were decimated.

I haven't had the bad luck of dropping against 4 ECM light packs, but then I either blow things up in AC20 cat, or hunt things in my 3L to remove enemy light's and support quickly.

I'm by no means optimistic they will ever get the failures fixed. Half the game is crappy placeholders they decided to keep instead implement correctly.

nah bro it was pink and white lol

[JakeTehPwner]

Properly lead your targets and these guys aren't a problem. Lag shield has mostly been fixed for me.

An SRM6x3 volley usually kills/severely damages any scout mech!
