But it also allows for better algorithms for good players; The MM needs to find less people at your skill level.

As for the last part of your argument, then go live on a different planet. Shockingly, all of us are stuck with eachother, and we all bring our crappy ideas to the table regardless of what the other jerks think.

There was no need for that. The daily whine thread is about whining, Balilaika has every right to whine in this thread. Wind your neck in.

Allow me to assist you in understanding the definition of the word "push" according to Merriam-Webster ( https://www.merriam-...dictionary/push )

-as a transitive verb
*"to thrust forward, downward, or outward"

-as an intransitive verb
1 : to press against something with steady force in or as if in order to impel
2 : to press forward energetically against opposition
3 : to exert oneself continuously, vigorously, or obtrusively to gain an end pushing for higher wages

Example usage in a sentence:

"PUSH FORWARD YOU IDIOTS!"

If it is a whine thread, then why is it wrong for me to whine about someone whining?

Also, I have the feeling I forgot what thread I was in when I responded to that.

So many damn weapons nerfed to the ground because of fatmechs that can boat them to ridiculous levels...

Now there's so few valid choices to use as a light mech :/

Also, bloody stupid assaults that call for a saddle push in Crimson Strait. "Wait till we form up." *sees whole team at saddle* "Go."

Front two people move up. Rest sees a wall of PPC and AC fire (that misses Alpha lance, because we're small) and get cold feet. Alpha lance is already over the saddle without support.

Good. F***ing. Game.

Fox simple mwo equation: bigger the mech-bigger the coward.

its crazy how scared pugs are in FW, even against another pug team you can't get them to NOT pucker up and hide all match

[jper4]

since I almost never play on sundays I didn't realize how much I missed the every match person complaining about how bad everyone else is every match. even if we win.

one guy wanted to push I said go and i'll support. person doesn't move. I see people moving- go join them, other person dies several minutes later and wants to know why I didn't support him.

next match person complains about everyone staying in one place and not moving in frozen city. other team moves down into the valley to get to us and we pick them apart one by one as they come into the open.

crimson- person complains the assaults (and an urbie!) in the tunnel exchanging fire with enemy assaults (the two arty strikes they shot into the tunnel itself was kinda funny though) while other mechs fighting outside by the water. we push out of tunnel and in the end take out all but 1 enemy with 6 friendly mechs left- we had no speedy lights so lose on caps. complainer quit the match after dying early.

after that quiet match no one says much. epic 12-11 match that had multiple kill lead changes on both sides. highlight was the brutal urbie v. urbie point blank no prisoners taken 1v1 fight where my 63S's rac 5 out damaged the k9's multi mediums in a battle to see who could have the right to hide under the ramp to shoot at the other team

[Fox With A Shotgun]

Fatmechs. Please. If you're going to vote in Conquest on Polar Highlands - or any map, really - make sure that you don't just sit in freaking Theta and camp there all match. That just leaves the other four cap points open for capture and you lose anyway.

I've been down on scouting in FW...

but then this happened..



maybe I should re-evaluate my feelings about scouting

Edited by Bulletsponge0, 04 September 2017 - 03:04 PM.

[Trenchbird]

Scouting is actually pretty good, especially after the Well-deserved Nova-Er, I mean, SPL-nerf. Honestly, even when those cancerous things were still hyper effective, I enjoyed it when they weren't around. Even if that normally meant someone would leg my poor Centurion (My YLW's kneecaps got shot out entirely too often. Guess running a 300XL in it makes people scared or something? It's not like a 100kmph Centurion's hard to hit.).

Oh, and I think I need to take another break from Multiplayer games again. Considering-in a rare non MWO Whine-I spent roughly four hours on full tilt (Shouting at the screen, playing like an overaggressive idiot, going to extreme lengths to kill one sniper) in Battlefield 1. My voice is forfeit.

[Bud Crue]

Didn't get to play all weekend. Normally that would be a whine in and of itself. Alas, no. The whine is that I didn't get to play all weekend...

...and it didn't bother me a bit.

Getting sick of not knowing what PGI is going to nerf, gut, and/or simply break, with the upcoming balance pass, has me not wanting to play the game or even putter in the mechlab. I truly didn't think I would get to this point, but here we are. The last year of constant flux has, I think, finally broken the drug like habit/addiction that this game once was.

Yippie?

Feels weird.

useless worthless cowardly freaking ***** assault/heavy pilots
expecting the lights and the mediums to lead the push

Grow a spine or get the hell out of here.

I'd rather wait five minutes for a quick play match than have to be matched up with you

I remember reading posts here about useless worthless cowadly freaking ***** light/medium pilots not scouting and hiding behind heavies and assaults.

So i think you can summarize nearly 90% of the rants here as "other pilots don't do what to do and the way i expect it to be done", which is nearly impossible without some talking and planning before and proper communication during the match.

Omce whining about the whiners

[Djinnhammer]

Got a friend to come back to the game after a year break. Same friend is on the verge of leaving again after just three days.
Why?
Cowardice and timidity. We spent three hours in the group queue yesterday, and frankly even I was stunned at how bad it was. Just couldn't get a team that would fight the enemy. Everyone's first action upon contact was to press S. Full on nascar every single game. Kept getting matched up with the same people too...I'd rather play solo queue because you get more teamwork there...insane I know.
So it's either solo queue or FW-I can't do the group queue again.

Tis funny though, that in every single case the one single constant that is noted amongst anyone I have ever gotten to try the game they all mention the timidty of the players as the the thing that stands out. They have all liked the game, felt balance was fine etc. but the thing that turns them off from MWO is the timid players....

[Fox With A Shotgun]

Sigh. I wish people would actually take their mechs to the testing grounds to see how they work before going in for real.

Just observed the most teeth-grindingly bad play from a group of fatmechs that refuse to see that ATMs really only hit things that are in line of sight. They simply don't arc high enough for indirect fire. ATM12x4 Supernova....and he was lobbing ATMs at 800m and smacking a wall in Tourmaline. Never mind that the wall is literally just 80m in front of him, meaning that he can literally see the missiles bouncing off. Never mind that he didn't even bother moving his stupid mech elsewhere.

Team Killing by various names with "poop" in them...

Supposedly PGI's stance on TK'ing is...

Team Killing Abuse
Team Killing is a deviant result of the Friendly Fire mechanic, which increases the strategic importance of location and coordination in fighting. Accidental Friendly Fire is expected. However, we will not be tolerating players who repeatedly abuse this mechanic to grief their team-mates by killing them. Please refrain from retaliating against somebody who may have accidentally shot you due to a bug or confusion.

...so when are they going to IP ban this idiot, I've been tk'd by this guy at least 2 times (and reported him) and know that at least 3 times that most if not all of the other players in those matches reported him as well...thats just the ones that involved me personally,. I know of another match where he was TKing the other team and got reported by just about everyone. I've been told by veteran players that this guy is not new and has been doing this on and off for a while...so what does it take to get this "hat that is worn on the posterior" shut down?

...does "blocking" a player keep you from being que'd with them?

...end of whine, moving on.

Whine of the day: I just checked the amount of destruction that I've done with my Kit Foxes, and I think that I've somehow brought about vulpine armageddon. Nearly 1.8 million damage done across all variants, and over 5.3 million XP accrued.

Now I am become Kit Fox, the destroyer of potatoes...? I certainly hope lights don't get nerfed again.
