For two weeks now I have dropped into games LNW, and Ive completely had it with that nonsense. I need groups to play with, people that actually play the game the way it was intended I'd say over 70% of the time I have a bunch of ******* that cant communicate whats going on, and spread out like a freshman college girl. Is anybody out there or will no one want to play with me?

Nice way to make yourself look like a good candidate for a team sir!

Funniest part? That 70% of the playerbase is in most games. What does that tell you about this game?

How does wanting to be on the winning side make me anything but a good candidate, sir? Its not my first rodeo, I've played a lot of MW in my day, I do understand how this works, And we have all seen it done well. I said 70% of my drops, that means 30% of the time I'm dropping, its with people with a plan. I dont expect everybody to take it the way I do, I cant expect anything from anybody.

It's not cause you want in a group, but your delivery that would make you toxic to the team that picks you up. Unless they are a troll Team. our presentation is everything sir, yours needs some polish.

basically you came in to a job interview and went,

I'm Broke. I want a job. Gimme a job!

See the issue?

This would be fixed if we had in game voice chat. Because we all know typing gets you killed or keeps you from killing.

Yea. Not sure if you watch it or know which Episode I mean. It's the one titled Peter Problems where he loses his job and Lois goes in for an Interview. The manager says something like "Carrots" and she responds "Groceries" and he says another word and she responds to the same. Then he says this is a trick question and says something like "Manager" and she says something like "Gimme the Job" or "I'm Hired" or something. Bah, I need to re-watch that part to remember.

I suggest you look into the forums for the Clans, mercenary organizations, and Inner Sphere houses. There are plenty of teams out there. In the mean time I've found selecting skirmish only and dropping in mech designed for medium to long range battles will reduce frustration some.

Check out the faction and unit forum sub-section

I spent 3 weeks away from 4 mans. Pugging only. As far as I can tell it made no difference in terms of wins and losses, and no difference in general gameplay experience.

I suffered and succeeded just as much in 4 mans as I did in pugs. Matchmaker was the main culprit in what quality of players it put on what team. It makes things considerably worse when it ends up stacking pairs of 4 mans on one team, but puts none on the other. Or does its all too often 200-300 tonnage imbalances.

Bottom line is almost all 4 mans are just a group of 4 guys playing with each other loosely. They are only gaining minimal if any advantage from being a lance. Most just dont play that much better as lance. They do gain some benefits in terms of immediate intel, but you cant generally communicate it any better to the rest of the team / pugs than pugs can to pugs. Now a lot of those 4 mans believe they are bomb and the experience is always far better. I'm sure that depends on their elo and their opponents elo. My end at least I see very little difference.

That being said there are a few players who I've played with who can make the 4 man experience better and net more wins. But thats only a few I know. The other factor is if your 4 man takes all assault jump snipers and does a decent job of using them, that can significantly swing the tide of battle. Or even if your 4 man is all assaults (aside from DDC's though they always take a jumper as an assault choice). As a 4 man you can seriously swing tonnage advantage your way by being 350-400 tons in your lance alone.

I did come off a bit brash, but I wasn't saying I want a unit. I was looking for a few people (lance) to drop with. I want quality game-play, that will help me out better as a teammate for those competitive drops we may sometime run into. Its not about losing, we all hate to loose. Its the fact that some people are just pud dropping and don't have the same mentality. I'm looking or people that already know the ins and outs and a competitive strategy, that is all. O7 to all MechWarriors, regardless of what gets said I'm not out to make enemies. Thank you Boris, thats exactly what I was looking for

Check out the teamspeak servers. NGNG usually has pugs looking for players

It could also be translated to...

"I'm sick of dealing with window licking puggies who can't comprehend teamwork."

Don't agree with this at all, you must be playing in some crummy four mans.
