This is actually the biggest issue I had with 12v12. Since it's so difficult to coordiinate anything without voice comms, brawling is far more risky, and an advance onto the enemy position is much more likely to fail, so sniping is far more prevalent there.

That said, I'm still playing, and I also bought an Overlord package. The game, at its core, is still a lot of fun, even though a lot of the mechanics are kinda janky and awkward, and individual games can be really frustrating with poor matchmaking and abusive mech builds and tactics.

Mmm, 12v12 pugging.

I hope for ui 2.0 PGI can seperate us into lances and groups for 12v12. if we had brawler lance, lrm lance, scout lance, and then slotted those otgether for 12v12 the Blob of doom would not exist in the same sense, lances could easily work together, and even pugging would be easier.

12v12 definitely makes solo play harder, and PGI will need to figure out a smart way to pair players with tonnage limits in drops to make sure 12v12 doesnt turn into 12 man blob/sniper wars.

^Every time I see that name, I think "Panda Vision", realize that it's not that, and feel sad .

Snrk... this is hilarious... he ******* about the people that arent even there anymore and playing... and then he ******* about the whiners... WHO ARE the ones remaining and play.

So hes the greatest whiner of them all

Make up your damn mind man.

Newsflash kid:

The people that have left? They voted with their wallets so to speak, most of them didnt demanded anything from PGI, they just up and left. That alone should tell you in what a sorry state the game is. The people you see on the forums? Thats just the tip of the iceberg.

Biggest turnoff of this game? The ******** community, both in game and on the forums. I like the game a lot but if it wasn't for a group of friends i play with i'd be gone. Not because of the game itself though. Far from it.

Hrm.. the in game community is mostly silent... i have seen far less written abuse and bragging then in WoT and Warthunder. Doesnt change the fact that pugs are usually not the way to go if you want to constantly win.

But when it comes down to communications.. if you pug you could think youre surounded by bots most of the time.

Ofcourse if you go 8 vs 8 all you see is the same cooky cutter mech x 8 over and over again cause you will meet the same guys match after match after match.. cause no one is using the damn 8 vs 8 mode... because its not fun.

So yeah.. atleast in the organized "competitive" field the commuity has ruined it for themselfes... and no.. youre not allowed to call yourselfe "winner" just because no one wants to play with you. Just to remind all the "hardcore smart competitive players" that they arent super skilled but just plain ol boring.

you think MWO has a bad community? It's actually quite decent compared to other F2P games...

I'm a founder and everytime i come back the game is worse. the sounds are horrific now. not playing until 12v12 is running

Maybe Harmony Gold sued and the founders became Unseen. Perhaps, they will be re-emerge in another format, or design, to be Reseen. We shall call it Unfounded then Refounded.
