Its been said to death but Solo dropping versus teams is just the worst game play experience.. Its no fun at all for the Solo dropper <for obvious curb stomping reasons> and the teams <or at least any team I have ever been in> want to play versus other teams...

Come on PGI you can give us a game experience better than this!

solo drop is awesome for me and im sure thousands of others.

I can't take it anymore, I have to clear my conscience.

The Truth About Premades



Back in Close Beta, we were presented with a link to follow, evilpremade.mwomercs.com and in there was a shopping cart for the purchase of robes, amulets (that look suspiciously like the PGI logo with MC carved in the skull) and goats blood. With your starter purchase, you were given invocation instructions for the creation of a metaphysical "I Win" button. The ritual goes something like this.

When launching the MWO client, you are to quaff a vial of goats blood while wearing our vestaments, previous to you inputting your username and password. Once in the mechbay, you load the "Invincible Shield" module that you are also able to purchase on the above mentioned site.

Once that is complete, you launch your TeamSpeak (or Ventrillo, Mumble, whatever) client, which is obviously an exploit because it is 3rd party software that gives you an unfair advantage over the "Great Unwashed", then connect to one of the SUPER SECRET VoIP servers where others who are part of the coven congregate.

After you've aligned yourself with others of the unholy you begin chanting the words,

"Klaatu verata nikto"



repeatedly while launching the group. This summons an evil spirit for every member of the group who flawlessly pilots our battlemechs with devastating accuracy, pulling off head-shots on every opponent it sees.

The VoIP channels will erupt with evil, maniacal laughter while this occurs, because while our hands are free from needing to pilot the mechs (because of the evil spirit) we routinely engage in the practice of punching kittens and puppies in the face.

After the carnage is over, we type "GG" and reap the rewards, as we all are given a 4x modifier to CBills and XP on top of our premium time and hero mechs we use.

So there you have it, the truth is out and I am glad I have that off my chest. I now fear for my life as the MODs and Staff are complicit in this... pray for my soul.

I knew it! This proves it! I'm reporting you and your "teamwork" to support as an exploit!

You are the epitome of evil and I hope you get banned (although I'm willing to punch kittens with you just out of GP) forever! Uhm.... and uhm.... well..... can I has your ritual kit when you are banished?

Well from my experience this weekend. It was about what you'd expect. Back and forth in terms of teams that were better or worse.

But then. Out of the blue. Came a wave of unrelenting metal and concentrated fire. They moved in groups of three or four. Multiple groups I might add. I was good enough to get clear and seek cover. Yet no matter which direction I went. They always had at least three people returning fire. And when I finally had a flank on someone. I was already encircled. It was a complete and utter massacre.

Most likely it was two teams that were placed on the opposing team. I would shudder to think the matchmaker would be so bad as to allow a full premade into a regular queue. At least that's what I hope. >_>;

But most of the other matches it went one way or another. And there were the occasional total loss, but it wasn't so obvious, chalk it up to a lack of concentrated fire.

Alright... Now I'm really pissed. You guys got a flipping ceremonial robe while in BETA?!

All I got was a thong and I've got to tell you... It's not nearly as comfortable as the packaging claimed and here in Wisconsin, I can only wear it for a few months out of the year!

Are people just not realizing that there are usually 3-4mans on both sides? Lots of times they won't speak up because of threads like this. Here's a quick survey you can complete yourself

1. Are you pugging?
2. If Yes, go to 3. If no, go to 4.
3. Are you in alpha lance? Go to 5.
4. Are you in alpha lance? Go to 6.
5. If no, then alpha is a premade.
6. If no, then alpha is a premade.

If there are multiple premades, the first one goes into alpha, then bravo, then the leftovers in charlie.
A team with a 4man on it can get steamrolled too, you know.

Sometimes people get rolled - thats why the phrase "decisive victory" exists. Sometimes you get a match that runs out the clock with one player on each team. Sometimes you get a 4man of fast atlases that base rush you. These things happen - you didn't fail, you just lost. If you don't learn something.. thats when you fail. You can learn something from each and every match. Come away with dignity - don't blame your team, don't blame the other team, take notes after a match (mentally, or like I do, on paper) and figure out what works and what doesn't. Learn from it.

I wasn't here during CB because I was unaware the game existed. As such I have no robe, but I made a hat "crown" out of a bud light box. That I found - not that I bought bud light :D

It's a combo evil-occasional-premade AND spider pilot helmet.

No, the robe came with the ultimate unholy package. It was just offered as a booster to the Spiderz package along with membership to the NRA

And the more people you alienate the less support the game has. You are doing a wonderful job and at this rate PGI should hire you to help run it into the ground even faster.

Weird, the community I'm a part of gains 3 new members a day, many of whom are new to the game. Which says 1. PUGs are joining factions and 2. New players are still coming to the game.

Sorry, my data doesn't match your assumptions.
