No.

For me it's more no new maps/game modes coupled with a matchmasher that was rebroken. There will allways be new players who either just want the kill and/or have no idea how to work in a team toward a team goal.

Usually it isn't that bad but matchmasher seems to have recently been using me/my group to bring up the elo or a lot of new players (< 200 damage) while the opfor has decent players (250+ damage) all down the line.

I'm still experiencing "beta fatigue" i guess.

Oh that's right, no beta tag anymore. But what is this "new player fatigue", is this an actual thing? How does this work?

New, and fatigue, in the same phrase...i don't get it.

Ur so close to winning a match and a new player goes all tunnel vision trying to get a kill and you lose to cap.

Or the epic im invincible CHARGE!!

Or the my team sucks because im dead.

I just stopped wanting to play MWO it is a boring grind with no originality of game modes types or even the ability to RP-socialize or anything else.YOUR title OP should have been NEW PLAYER BORDOM or WHY AS ANEW PLAYER I BECAME BRAIN DEAD AFTER 100 MATCHES?.

I get fatigue from new players, then I remember they're new and try to help them by pointing them to www.house-marik.net.

Utilize away. It's a term that is so suitable for what it is doing.

[Blurry]

yup - it is the grind. even with premium it is a hard uphill slog and you accomplish what?
There is no tangible reward - ok a different mech - but it is the same map/mechanics 24/7.

Throw in all the issues on top of the above and well - people just leave because they dont need to invest in the game.
If only 5-10% of games are fun then.......

If I didnt know better, I would think that PGI is continually trolling their playerbase. Has PGI made a decent decision or made a deadline recently?

[NuclearPanda]

Been playing since closed beta, and I'm beginning to feel the fatigue of having....

NO. NEW. CONTENT.


Seriously, we need some new game modes/maps and more content to keep this interesting. New mechs alone doesn't cut it, we need something to DO with them.

You're right I am shamed for plugging a plug for www.house-marik.net I swear (finger crossed of course) that I will not shamelessly plug www.house-maik.net on these forum again. But could I ask when I might be able to mention www.house-marik.net again? is there a specific situation where the address of www.house-marik.net could be useful?

[Roadbeer]

I approve the turn this thread has taken... straight to http://www.house-marik.net
