With the recent release of the Highlander and it being the flavor of the month the game has become Assaultwarrior online. As usual its the flavor of the month that seems to be causing this, so be patient and wait it out, it will change. Anyone who's been around here long enough knows this to be true and that the Highlander numbers will slowly go down when people get board with playing it, a new chassis is released and time passes.

I must give PGI props on the Highlander, I don't have one, but it's been hell on my Atlas RS and D which use to dominate the field. It forced me to change up my RS for some range, which was nice because it was just a faster version of my D. While I enjoy beating the snot out of the enemy and walking away with 4-6 kills every match it's a nice change to actually have to work for it. I look forward to the next flavor of the month and to see how good or bad the next chassis is!

Just rock the Mailed Fist and it will all be fine!

YEAH HOW DARE PEOPLE LEVEL THEIR MECH'S!!!!!!

Really its the same every time we get a new mech, next release we'll be hip deep in Fleas, after a few days it'll go back to normal just like it always does.

Fleas got delayed and we will be getting Blackjack + Orion before it.

Welcome BACK to AssaultWarrior Online, you mean?

It will be interesting to see what, if any, effects tonnage matching will have.

[DegeneratePervert]

Man, this whole "[name]Warrior Online!" joke has really, really gotten old. It's not even clever...

[Egomane]

The next time we get another light we will have either ScoutWarrior-Online once more or FleaWarrior-Online.
With the next medium it will be BlackjackWarrior-Online.
The next heavy will bring us OrionWarrior-Online.

See it here and now, I claimed those names first!

I can't hear it anymore!

[FupDup]

I once heard that a Flea's favorite meal is the ankles of an assault mech...

Awww, finally wanted to Master out my Raven-3L and Jenner-D when the Flea came out (and master one variant of that as well). Well, guess next chassis I buy will be the Orion.

if the tolerance is Zero, Atlases, Awesomes and Stalkers won`t find matches until people are done leveling their highlanders

Last month was Jagerwarrior, before that it was Trebwarrior, before that it was Spiderwarrior...

...Dude, this is normal. Give it a few days.

[Terror Teddy]

Just give me viable MG's and I'll rock Cicada, Raven, Spider and whatever else light ballistic mech they decide to put into the game.

Of those you named, the Blackjack is the one most likely to have a high popularity. The flea with its limited payload an theoretical incremental speed above other lights will probably be a "once tried but quickly forgotten mech" The Orion, unless PGI creates hard points where they are not needed might not have a great following because it will not be "boat-able" at best 3 missile or maybe 4 energy... I'm being generous because the none of the canon variants require that many. While iconic like the dragon, it will be an unpopular mech... like the Dragon.

A lot of the people in this thread clearly missed the part in the OP where he's not actually b*tching, it's more of a lighthearted "ah well, can't beat'em, join'em" post. :/

Highlander Pilots really need a "When to jump" booklet on purchase, otherwise it is nice to see a mix of assaults now.

There will be no tonnage matching in the near future because reasons. All we get is class matching so that "pros" can rage at the people dropping in awesomes (and atlases) instead of stalkers or poplanders...

Can't wait for BansheeWarrior.Online

[alexivy]

Wait two weeks after the patch to play the game. Lesson learned.

Oh wait, there's a patch every two weeks.
