cry me a river.

the best thing to do is to exploit the hell out of it to give pgi the raw data.
also, in a competitive environment, people will play what works best.
if you dont like it, take some time off until its fixed, no need to start YET another thread.

Just like how all those people were using 3L's before state rewind and when the hit-boxes were messed up... pathetic...

I used my wifes account yesterday on whim and dropped into an , almost, all Trial 'mech game. It was A HELLUVA lot of fun. Turned out to be a very close game, with only 2 of us limping along at the end.

I'd really enjoy seeing a "Stock only" option.

I was using her account because of the sentiment displayed by the OP. I drop with my Founders Cat 80% of the time,and have always enjoyed the LRM support role. But with the latest issue, I'd rather take this opportunity to try something different.




Cheers.

I would throw money at PGI for a "Stock Models Only" mode.

You are mistaking "eagerness" with the need to remain competitive. Nobody likes losing and right now, the only way to not lose (at least in the unorganized, random mass of PUG play) is to have lots of LRMs, or at the very least, a few good LRM-sporting pilots. Don't hate the player, hate the game. The player is not what caused this LRM fiasco, this is just the player adapting in order to win, or at least try to.

Edit: By now this is outdated, due to the hefty missile nerf.

It was just a preview of what things will be like as soon as Clan Tech is introduced.

Played two matches today. The last match I was the only one not piloting a LRM boat on my team. It was about as much fun as banging my head against the wall. I'm not playing anymore until they release a hotfix.

For all you people that cry about ECM, missiles were worse of a problem in every match at that state of development than they are right now, bugs and all. I agree though, that playing missilebugexploitfarmeronline is not that much fun, on either side of the launcher...

[Corbon Zackery]

I love how they don't tell us how their fixing it only that it will be fixed.

[Trauglodyte]

You're just now seeing people abusing missiles? I've been seeing that more and more since the splash bug got reported. Essentially, everyone and their brother that could put missiles on their mechs have done so. Its awful.

[MeatForBrains]

I love the new LRM damage. Because I don't use them, it's nice to actually see people die for doing stupid things like, hauling *** to the other side of the map in a commando and then exploding, and them whining about how LRMs are too powerful.

And really, even with the new LRM damage, if you die to LRMs its your own damn fault!@#$

first of all..im not crying about anything...second i m not talking about ppl that were LRM lovers before the bug...i believe most of you know what im talking about..

[Zylox]

I disagree with the human nature argument - I find it much more satisfying to defeat a cheese team with non-cheese builds, even if it is only very rarely.

Something something sportsmanship.

People know its a bug and that it will go away, why not have some munchkin power gaming fun for a day or two and go blow stuff up.

This isn't a tournament, it won't really affect anyone's stats in the long run, and it doesn't cos anybody anything.

SPLOSIONS!!!!

Better yet, this is just a game.

Just equip LRM and blow some Jagerheads.

exploit?

I thought it was just my uber skills that made me do 1500+ damage consistently.

How about 5 splat-cats and 3 D-DCs coming after you in Caustic?

I'm making almost 200k a match in my non founder C1. That is way more than I would be making now in my Cent-D I was going to level before Tuesday. Merky likes getting "pretend" paid.

[Hawks]

I don't know if it's anything to with the amount of LRMs flying about, but I have had an insane amount of crashes today. Between those and the inevitable HUD bugs, I don't think I've had a single stable, bug- and freeze-free game all evening.
