Funny guy, but you misunderstood my meaning. All weapons, all mechs, all tech should be viable in the meta. not just a few.... or too few...

May the elders have mercy on my soul QFT

By Loki's forked tongue I feel there is something off about the world.

I have agreed with M.A.L.I.C.E. and Teralitha in the same week.

Either the world is becoming more reasonable or i'm going crazy.

most likely, been spending a lot of time in K-town but that can't possibly have any ill effects.

Eventually the forums make you crazy enough that you pass out the other side sane.

Moving thread. Lacks proper productive discussion.

I assumed as much when you made the OP Live.

I have to disagree with the meta game statement though. If you are going ingot combat (ie dropping into a match) You have to be as ready as you can for any situation. If you don't you are handicapping yourself. My primary ride is the example, I have Gauss and ER PPC for max reach & hitting power, 3x SRM6 for close quarters, ECM for extra cover/Counter, and AMS. My Ilya has Gauss, Mediums and AMS, My FAtlas has LRMs, Larges, AMS. The only time I am at a real disadvantage is when I am facing more than one opponent!

You realize that you are suggesting only your choices are the viable ones? As in your mech choices.... So the meta should only contain mixed ranged atlas ddc, hero mid ranged cataphract, or an LRM boat atlas ddc.

But there are so many other mechs and varients in the game..... surely all of them can have a viable place in the meta? Right? No you said using anything else is handicapping yourself. So PGI may as well take everything else out of the game because its garbage. Im serious! remove them from the game. If its not meta approved, its trash.... take it out.

Bad game design maybe?

Sad, ain't it.

Not really. A fact of game play I guess. The point being, if you don't take it, then you cannot legitimately gripe about the Team that doesn't have any....

Doing so is what is sad really.

[Agent of Change]

good point... good point.

HEY LOOK PARROTS!

Could you clarify? Because I'm actually starting to think you might be serious...

I did further down. Keep reading. Wait! Damn, my bad, I thought you weren't being serious.

Sadly I think he is.

If ECM is required, it's broken.

You guys are brutal. ECM is in the game. Some players equip ECM. Your Team drops without any and it is "everyone" else's fault? Really!

Perhaps they should bring along some extra ammo for you as well, just in case you didn't bring enough yourself. Wouldn't want you running out. Bad Team, bad...

[Livewyr]

um Maddmaxx, following your logic, only bringing ECM mechs is viable in order to ensure your team has at least one...the maxim of that school of thought is that people only bring 1 of 5 chassis to a random match and PGI could have slipped the rest. so you see the flaw yet?



mallin, we had 1 ECM advantage and 65 tons, but they had far more long range weapons. the reason we win was that we communicated to stay behind a hill and force them to come to us, to neutralize that advantage. (ergo my ac20 kicked serious butt on alpine)

Didn't read.

Looks like a dull thread.

Looks like a whining thread.

I've read too many of these in the past weeks.

Can't somebody come up with some original content?

[Ryvucz]

I hear a piano.

[Agent of Change]

what kind? is it close?.... oh god is it falling!?

[Willie Sauerland]

No.

It is not a piano

which is falling

but the sky.

[Agent of Change]

no that's just the lrm's

[Willie Sauerland]

Same difference?

Thanks to the random map assignment, that's all you can do. You guys are slowly learning how random map assignment kills build diversity and ruins balance no matter how complex a matchmaking system is developed to attempt to fix what is really the fault of random map assignment.

Definitely. What we need is a pre-game lobby. I think MWO would do well to straight up rip off LoL's prematch lobby or DOTA 2's in-match hero picking. I think they'd work really naturally here.
