Hi there,

please share the wisdom since my brain does not provide a usefull conclusion... How on earth can some people average at around 1k dmg per battle?

I can't come up with how they could possibly rig this nor how anyone in an atlas can average at that high damage SOLO. I really appreciate non-snotty answers.

Thank you in advance,
Nait

When in doubt, syncdrop. And add some map trick on top of that ftw.

But can you do that when you need 4-8 people to go to the opposing team to let you hammer them and another 7 on your team to stand still and wait?

Choose a big map, syncdrop and hope your friends end up on opposing team. Agree in what corner of the map to meet, profit. The one thing you can be sure about solo tournaments, it's never someone running solo that wins.

Am I the only one about to throw up under these circumstances? Le sigh....

Well what can you do, when the game itself allows you to exploit it, of course people will do it.

I highly resent this statement. I myself am currently number 1 on the stalker leaderboard. While I granted am far below the other I suspect they are just better than me and I would not dream of accusing them of such conduct. Some players are just that good, after the tourney is over I plan to release videos on how I did it. Look for them then if you doubt my credibility. Also youtube "Best Stalker Setup" I made over 1000 dmg in that video on my first attempt.

I'm not accusing you or anyone else in particular. All I know is there is still a lot of time and a lot can be done to circumvent what you've achieved with skill. That is all I can say about it.

That is true, likely as not I will lose my position over Saturday, either to a legitimate person better than me or a...exploiter.I hope to lose it to a skillful player.

I would prefer it was that way too, but I'm not betting a single dime on it.

All i find there is pre- missle nerf mate. Care to share a recent vid?

Btw, pre-nerf i also pretty much every second game cracked 1 k in a stk, just sayin'

Just did 980 with a brawler stalker in caustic. I don't see how anyone could do that all the time, but 10 matches seems very possible...

now do that in an atlas too and i am convinced

- i have to correct myself, do that in a highlander, we just reached past 10k in 10 games in a highlander...

By the time I've done 400 damage the game tends to be over. On the account of there being no enemy mechs left.

I can only imagine you'd get a thousand damage when the other team members aren't shooting much and you're spreading the damage out broadly.

exactly, either your armor is done before you reach 1k or the enemy is dead... to get 1k means to spread ammo over at least 4 atlas worth of frontal torso-armor.

[Parmeggido]

My best guess would be not as much single segment damage, so weapons like srms and lasers, and knowing where your enemies usually put their ammo. Ammo explosions can give big bonuses.

Highly doubtful the kind of exploit he mentioned is gonna take place. People would notice it and report it if it happened.

[Purplefluffybunny]

MWO is very much open to exploitation right now.

Don't own either, sorry...

[Relic1701]

Limit it to the best 10 out of the first 'insert number here' matches after opt in. (25 or 50 are being thrown about on the feedback thread)
