Then came the day i bought the cataphract, and after a few nights, i was double that!. Darn thing doesn't get Kill stolen quite as much.. But then a party night, and i would say a bit more to drink than should be allowed for mech piloting.. It dropped a bit.. I just checked the stat's thingy for giggles.. and low and behold it is .80, like my other 2 mechs i play well in..
But for those people that seem to play more of a support role i really wish they would tally up Assists. Personally i will take 5 or 6 good assists and no kills, over a couple cheap kills. But that darn ration eat's at me.. I wanna be at 1.0+ for a change..
One of these days all the advice, and video watching will pay off.. But it seems for now, i am Mr .80

If it makes you feel better, I have over 1500 matches and my overall KDR is .37 which is actually an improvement fom a few months ago
I started in Lights and did a lot of Conquest in order to get cash, so that's one reason I don't care about it. Also, if I deal respectable damage and/or contribute in some way, I figure I helped my team so not worried about dying. That said, I've gotten 3 kills and 298 damage in a Locust and whiffed with over 500 damage in a BLR.
I have fun playing, winning is just icing on the cake
edit: Grammerz and sich

Well when you get tired of playing Little League, give the DHB the once over
I am well familiar with DHB. I dropped by your website and TS a couple of times.
I'm with HHoD and I like checking out the other merc corps around and see how they do things.

Cool beans, sorry I missed you. Hopefully we will drop together (one way or the other) soon.

in the meantime, why I haven't been playing as often as I'd like (and even more active than usual on here). Dozens upon dozens of pages like this one for my art class.
Currently working on character model sheets. 7.7 I wanna burn something.

If it goes way down like it did when the Spiders first came out -- 0.63 was the low and the dang things were bloody useless at first -- I find myself able to quickly (within 3 to 4 weeks) bring it up to a 0.87 and a few months to a 1.0. The main thing, though, is I just like to have fun.
Don't be surprised if I try to stand on your head.

I would love that, once I get back to my place (staying over at my gf's) I will definitely drop by the DHB server and get a few drops in.

Amen to that, and the to the "u" in honour, hooray for british english spelling! (Drives me crazy when my browser flags "colour" as a misspell. XP)

It only matters if you are having fun or not.
Sure, this doesn't mean never try to improve, but getting caught up in ratios is a quick way to get frustrated or sad.

That depends on your temperment and goals. After 100 games, I had like 7 kills. I started hoping I could pull my KDR back even eventually. When I hit my absolute pit and leveled off (600K/1000D), I specifically set the goal to get it back to even before 2000 (get my 2000th kill before my 2000th death). (Mind, my goal was to get it "clean," not by kill stealing and by still sacrificing myself when the situation demanded, it's a team game and trying to win individual games is the only way I can imagine playing). It drove me to concentrate and improve. For me, this goal vastly increased my enjoyment of MWO, so it passes your fun test, too. Like I said: depends on your temperament.

Everyone has different views.
But I believe it is better to go in with no expectation, other then to have fun-play and enjoy yourself. That way, even if you lose. Even if the odds are stacked, you had a good laugh and left smiling.
Like you said, different goals, temperament.

Oh, I have a lot of fun. If I wasn't, I wouldn't spend my time on a game. I just don't like doing anything this much and not trying to do it well.
