The moment when you come out of a Polar Highlands match with 3k AMS missile destroyed...

No wonder I couldn't get to fire much. My LAMS were up pretty much 100% of the time.

First win of the day in my Deathstrike... and I took a heap of team damage from teammates trying to shoot through me, eventually losing a side torso, resulting in a miserable score.

EDIT: and just had a battle where the enemy team was spamming strike after strike after strike. My team just got shredded because of that pay to win ********.

EDIT 2: a few battles later, this happened:


2 strikes that I only had seconds to recognise as incoming and evade with my 81 kph Cougar, and then I'm down to 38% status.

Wow, you're one of the last people I expected to call anything in MWO Pay2Win.

So I got tired of voip aholes and just switched it off. Should have switched off all chat too.

This guy was snarky when 3 mechs went over saddle and flanked. First to die with 51 damage. LMAO.

Why do people waste time typing that out.

I really think that the amount of people who believe there's a major tech inbalance are on some weird drugs.

Because I still say it's a damn Geometry issue and Speed issue before a true "Tech" issue, and I can say that until I'm blue in the face, but they'll never agree.

Well said. I'm an Is pilot through and through. I think Is stuff is better mostly. Even now with reduced quirks, small structure/armour quirks+much shorter contact time weps=better.
I just cannot get why people keep screaming "clanz op."
Yes on leader boards they score well with large damage numbers, but that's SPREAD, inefficient fluff.

I was calling the Loyalty hardpoints for the Summoner P2W back when it was first released, 'cause it blatantly was. And I'd know, 'cause I was benefiting from it.

Since the skill tree buffed them, consumable usage is having a clear influence on player performance and win/loss ratios, so the team that has the more players willing to spend cbills, has a higher probability of winning than if they did not use consumables.
As the amount of cbills a player has available to spend is influenced by purchase of premium time and/or cbill bonus mechs, it effectively is paying to win.

so it seems RAC chainfire blindness is a thing now. still, I like it on my urbie. not as much as my 2 lbx2 3ERSL one though.

Yeah they do, but it takes far too long with griefers like that.

I did not get to play this for a few days. Spending time away from my computer visiting inlaws in NC. I can't wait to get back and play again.

[Zergling]

God damnit, login for a couple quick games, but despite playing well in my Annihilator, I ended up with just 1 win to 4 losses.

Last battle was a particularly annoying defeat; I scored 2 solo kills + 1 more killing blow (solo kills were an Annihilator and Kodiak, near 100% solo done) with 909 damage.

Just ugh... I pull more than twice my weight twice over, and my teammates still can't scrape out a win.

[His Mistress Voice]

To me all this clan is OP or whatever, and numbers and statistics and blahblahblah, i used this account to buy a clan package and use this mech to try the dark side of MwO.

So three matches tonight our assaults all hide at the back. Geuss what we get stomped in every game.

If St Ives blues is out-scoring Charlie Lance, it's time to start using your armour mister assault mech.

[Trenchbird]

Oh, I remember seeing a game with a St.Ives today. Was that you? Because I remember a dual HGR Annie trying its damndest to get cheeky backshots off on the NASCARing and confused team-that I was a part of.

I must be one of the weird bunch that actually like vindicators. If it was red and dark grey, with a hppc, mrm10 and two ml then it was probably me.

[chucklesMuch]

Ugh what's with all the little mechs running in front on me!! (Or retreating endless into me) Just come from a game where I spent more time trying to avoid my teammates whilst piloting an assault than actually shooting at the enemy.

I have a 80 alpha that includes heavy lasers and gauss; heavy lasers splits out a really really long duration but highly corrosive beam (and have a long cooldown)... the other requires a charge up period... would mechs stop bloody walking in front of me, blocking my firing lines and or backing up half a kilometre, diagonally into me.. as I don't want to kill my own team... well mostly don't - it's happening too much and I'm becoming increasingly ambient about it.

Well, from what I saw, it got pounded into the dust in short order when it poked out for too long, and I couldn't see it when it died. It was on Mining Collective though.

[chucklesMuch]

So FP/CW... why bother sharing armour and helping your team win when you can get top score and only use one mech.... ahhhh! So annoying. (Recent game where we were defending... up alot on kills but only some people would defend the gens... we lose up like 12 -15 kills ahead and one of our team has 0 deaths... they stayed in the same mech all game... sniping I assume...

[Catra Lanis]

I'm taking an extended break from the game like I did last year. Back to reading books, taking walks and playing single player games. The summer events have made me kind of burnt out.

I like the events but maybe they should have even better prices and instead space them out and have fewer/year.

I'll be dropping by from time to time and see how the old whiners Bud, Tanar, Alienized et. al are doing. Until then have a good one.

[Bushmaster0]

So many cowardly IS pugs in FW.

Seriously, on defense in siege, do people really think its a good strategy to hide BEHIND the things you are trying to defend? Do people actually think that will work??
