Why is that with Pugs, it's either nascar to death, or camp to death?

That's why I prefer to have somewhat decent mobility and mid/long ranged weapons in puglandia, so I can move around and still be relevant to the battle, without being forced to nascar or camp with my stupid teammates.

I can still score fine with brawlers or slow mechs, but I find it is a lot more frustrating.


Eg, last time I played the ACH, I got sick and tired of bad teammates to keep using the 6x SPL meta build for it, and swapped to 6x ER Medium Lasers.
My sustained DPS output dropped drastically, but I was able to remain effective, and my enjoyment went up a lot.

Dear Teammates

When on Crimson Strait, at Assault or Incursion, ******* defend saddle. Enemy has tendency to ******* rush through it.

[Trenchbird]

I've seen a few successful tunnel rushes disguised early on as disorganized saddle runs. That said, I noticed Island side seems to lose in a 12v12 saddle rush. Not really sure why that is true to often.

Lost the will to play MWO for several days after attempting that "win 2 FW matches" as an IS player. When I saw 9 players on my team not even break 400 damage. And then even see half of them not even expend all of their lives... I just... broke down.

welp. 1098dmg in a commando 2D.....
what a carry LOL soloing 180 tons (KGC and Zeus)
so gud. but what does that say about my team?...

[Bulletsponge0]

can I get a team tonight..just 1 team...that can fight its way out of a wet paper bag??

I mean is it too much to expect that you won't have half or 3/4 of your assault lance do less than 200 damage??

That moment when you're playing Escort on defense, and your whole team is dead except one kitfox. The Grand Potato is almost to its destination; it's lost all its rear armor with yellow internals, and only needs a few more seconds until it gets to the dropship. Enemies are coming in with a lot of firepower all dumping on the Grand Potato.

Only two possible outcomes. Atlas survives for another 5 seconds and reaches its destination, or the enemy kills it and loses. Kitfox has no option but to run to the Atlas and use itself as a shield to cover the Atlas' rear CT as it gets away.

"Warning, incoming missiles."



Totally worth it. We won despite having nobody left alive on the defending team.

First off, nice username/sig. AC4 and AC4A are basically the only anime mech sims I play. Second, don't be discouraged. Just keep soldiering on and try to find the silver lining.

When you solo 2 heavies and 1 assault and still lost...

Feels bad man...

This is hilarious man, would not have thought of it or that it'd work.

[Steel Raven]

Play my Warhammer, do over 1000 damage with 4 solo kills

Play my TBR S, get killed as soon as the enemy team looks at me.

[Kasumi Sumika]

For love of God don't bring LRM or long range laser build on scouting since enemies can outbrawl you easily....

Reminds me of the time I had to trade damage with a Banshee and Timber Wolf in my Purifier, because I was the only one trying to stop them from capping base.
Lost my mech as a result of all the damage I took, but I stalled the cap long enough for my idiot teammates to finally stop eating glue and come help.



And /facepalm at the Pirate's Bane that was sitting on enemy cap while my team was barely winning; the idiot only scored 28 damage that battle.

this has been a very stressful outing

match 1) my 2ML,4 LRM 5 assassin in frozen. match back and forth comes down to me vs stick orion and legged supernova (about 70ish percent full weapons) who is in the middle of buildings. eventually run out of ammo as it has large lasers and whatnot so trading about even. teammates complain why i'm taking so long. bright red CT, one guy insists I get behind him with my 2ML and his still armored back. I go for the CT, almost lose my ML arm but finally kill it. finish off the stick. team wonders what took so long and how I was going to blow it.

match 2) same mech- mining collective. one guy from the enemy team on my side this time. points out I killed a supernova with a LRM boat that was out of ammo. next thing I know...it's me vs a disarmed griffin with srms but no ammo and mostly fresh mad dog with full weapons. I whine "not again" in chat bravely. have 1 LRM 5's worth of ammo left. try to sneak around for a few minutes. maddog has range edge and finally kills me.

match 4) in my k9- drop a nice arty behind the enmy line to try and shake it up for a push. team decides to use the red smoke as a signal to push. we win. I do 151 damage, and 181 team damage...

match 5) in my ac10, 3ML assassin. mobile fight, usual cowardness complaints. we push, down to the wire. I look up and it's 10-10, me and commando vs enforcer and huntsman. I die and we lose 10-12. my arty strike behind the buildings the enemy was hiding behind once more is the call to charge from a formerly stalled line. 300ish damage to the enemy and another 180 team damage. at least I managed to hurt the enemy more this time.

I gave up and came here to whine.

at least I had some close matches anyway.

Lol seriously man I was in this match on your team and observing. I was the last guy to die on our team. You might want to consider pressing ctrl to lock your arms to your torso in situations like that because the aiming reticle for the arm was all over the place.

[Alienized]

u want another gud one?.... well i can get u 2 LOL
this is my executioner.

[Alienized]

and this is what it done today. i lold.

[Bulletsponge0]

two drops so far tonight... have yet to have an assault on my team break 200 damage (0/6... 6 assaults over the two drops, zero broke 200 damage....)

I've never had much luck with arm lock so I stopped using it a long time ago. tended to miss completely instead of at least partially hitting . never really went back to it since.
