This is both the reason I have been scarce the past two months and a pretty good depiction of my face after 2 months with no MWO:

Can't help but wonder which part of don't poke let them come through the gap, people fail to grasp.

The instruction seems pretty straight forward to me.

"What gap? That gap there? Let me have a look, okay?"

Got a few rounds in today! My light mojo is gone but other than that not bad for being rusty. Hopefully I won't need to wait another 2 months for my next round

Jesus christ teams are bad lately.

Just played 10 battles in my Shadow Cat; 2 wins, 8 losses. My teammates would frequently die so damn fast (seriously, battles averaged only 4-5 minutes instead of the usual 7-8) I wasn't even able to score good damage before I was facing down 10 enemies by myself.

I just don't get why the hell I keep getting so unlucky! I usually win around 3 battles for every 2 losses ffs!


EDIT: played another 5 battles in my Shadow Cat. First 7 battles go well; 5 wins to 2 losses. Then I get a 3 battle losing streak, finishing at 5 wins to 5 losses.

Final score for 20 battles: 7 wins, 13 losses, 18 kills, 14 deaths, 387 damage/battle.

While hardly a fantastic performance in kills and damage, it is still enough that I should have been won at least 11 or 12 out of those 20 battles.

it's been wonky of late, the past couple of events that had the multiple categories, you know 3 wins, 2000 dmg, etc. i'd have half of the rest of them sompleted before i'd get the "3 wins" one

Last month my W/L was fairly terrible for most of the month, being 1.00 W/L or less most of the time until later on in the month, where I had enough good play sessions to finally pull out above 1.00 W/L and finish with 1.63 W/L.


Last month results, by day:
Feb 1 = 1 win, 1 loss (1.00 W/L)
Feb 2 = 0 wins, 3 losses (monthly total = 1 win, 4 losses = 0.25 W/L)
Feb 3 = 1 win, 0 losses (monthly total = 2 wins, 4 losses = 0.50 W/L)
Feb 4 = 1 win, 1 loss (monthly total = 3 wins, 5 losses = 0.60 W/L)
Feb 7 = 3 wins, 2 losses (monthly total = 6 wins, 7 losses = 0.86 W/L)
Feb 14 = 1 win, 0 losses (monthly total = 7 wins, 7 losses = 1.00 W/L)
Feb 15 = 2 win, 6 losses (monthly total = 9 wins, 13 losses = 0.69 W/L)
Feb 16 = 3 wins, 0 losses (monthly total = 12 wins, 13 losses = 0.92 W/L)
Feb 18 = 6 wins, 5 losses (monthly total = 18 wins, 18 losses = 1.00 W/L)
Feb 19 = 4 wins, 2 losses (monthly total = 22 wins, 20 losses = 1.10 W/L)
Feb 20 = 5 wins, 4 losses (monthly total = 27 wins, 24 losses = 1.12 W/L)
Feb 21 = 4 wins, 2 losses (monthly total = 31 wins, 26 losses = 1.19 W/L)
Feb 22 = 3 wins, 0 losses (monthly total = 34 wins, 26 losses = 1.31 W/L)
Feb 23 = 2 wins, 0 losses (monthly total = 36 wins, 26 losses = 1.38 W/L)
Feb 25 = 2 wins, 1 loss (monthly total = 38 wins, 27 losses = 1.41 W/L)
Feb 26 = 2 wins, 0 losses (monthly total = 40 wins, 27 losses = 1.48 W/L)
Feb 28 = 4 wins, 0 losses (monthly total = 44 wins, 27 losses = 1.63 W/L)

As can be seen, it wasn't until Feb 19 that my luck finally started changing and I started winning much more battles than I was losing.
Given my performance had been consistently good all month, this was extremely frustrating.


Now this month:

March 3 = 2 wins, 2 losses (1.00 W/L)
March 4 = 2 wins, 6 losses (monthly total = 4 wins, 8 losses = 0.50 W/L)
March 5 = 3 wins, 0 losses (monthly total = 7 wins, 8 losses = 0.87 W/L)
March 6 = 6 wins, 5 losses (monthly total = 13 wins, 13 losses = 1.00 W/L)
March 7 = 2 wins, 1 loss (monthly total = 15 wins, 14 losses = 1.07 W/L)
March 8 = 7 wins, 13 losses (monthly total 22 wins, 27 losses = 0.81 W/L)

Similar to most of February, I'm showing an unusual number of losses. Hopefully if I keep playing I'll get past it and start winning again, but it is still quite frustrating.


This is me right now:

[Bill Bullet]

Personal life had me log out for a few months. Came back to an entirely different game. One that sadly isn't fun anymore. I tried to like it again, god damn did I try, but this just isn't the MechWarrior Online I helped Found. Hanging up my spurs, and logging out for good. It's been fun gang. *salute*

It gets no better after 13 years -- trust me.

[jper4]

that one mech. you all know it, you're going though your daily x2 xp for a chassis and then it arrives. chasis 1- 1 match, 1 win, chassis 2- 1 match 1 win, chassis 3- 2 matches 1 win, chassis 4- 2 matches 1 win...chassis 5- 7 loses in a row, 5 of which are 4-12 or worse

needless to say chassis 5 is completely mastered while 1 and 2 aren't even fully elited yet...

[IraqiWalker]

Here's my whine

If PGI is going to do teasers, could they do a better job of it?

These pictures spell MARCH 14th.

Spoiler

If it took me literally 10 seconds to figure it out, we need better teasers, and clues. This also tells me literally nothing. We already know there's a March 14th patch coming. So what's happening. Civil War, or new Skill Tree, or what?

[Steel Raven]

Pretty clear to me it's about the Fed Com Civil War.

[C E Dwyer]

lol just as I finally go merc Fedcom civil war arrives.

People worry about the level of potatoes playing this game. I'm forced to agree due to my match score placing on the leader boards, that there seems to be a bumper crop.

[Steel Raven]

It's not like story events actual matter.

is the patch on the 14th? I thought it was suppose to be on the 21st

[Bud Crue]

Primary whine: After that NGNG podcast/live stream/ twitch thingy, I have never been more down on this game, the stupidity of my spending real money on it or more convinced that PGI really has stopped caring AT ALL about this product and is just holding on so that they can sell us many mechs as possible to support MW5 and whatever other products they are working on. I know I won't walk away, but man, that stream was bright yellow and directed at the community.

Secondary whine: So in an effort at distraction from the above I cracked a REALLY high abv beer and went into the mech lab to play legos. Was messing in settings and discovered that somehow I have managed to reach tier 2. WTF? No worries I suppose, after the skills tree goes live and all my crap mechs and their non-meta builds get nerfed I am sure I will be back to T3 in no time.

[SlightlyMobileTurret]

I'm a real cheapskate, but to those people who spent hundreds of dollars on this game to reduce the grind, getting called cheapskates for not wanting to grind till they dropped dead...(modules)


Seriously, Russ?

[Catra Lanis]

I feel more hesitant about the new skill system. I couldn't get the test client to work so I have no idea if I'm worried about nothing. From what I hear the worse mechs will come out even worse and others while also being nerfed won't be affected as much thereby widening the relative gap.

The cost is 1500 XP per skill node right. There are 91 Nodes so 136 500 to master or are 91 the total and the amount you can have at any given time lower?

I suppose my 2xUAC5 2xLL 2xSRM4 Victor-9S will be even worse. Should I runt with 2xMGS 2xSL and 2xSRM2 until it goes live? If I switch back then maybe the nerf won't feel as bad.

800 XP and 45000 cbills per skill node, as of latest information.

So for 91 nodes, 72,800 XP and 4,095,000 cbills.

That is not too bad then as far as XP goes. For those of you who tested it. I broke out my old Stalkers because they have always been kind of good to me. Last night I fought a Locust. I could not keep him in my sights most of the time even with max engine. I do not remember this. It has been a long time but as I remember it I have always been able to at least shoot at lights.

With the new movement will this get worse? I mean will Locusts bee even more spastic and Stalkers even more clumsy relative each other?
