My temporary video card barely can run the game.

Large maps are like a slide show with my frame rate in the 10's.

Need to find some money in the budget. This can't go on.....

Notice to all (at least the ones I keep getting stuck on) clan mech pilots...... Learn to drive.

I'm getting really fed up of being back in 2012 when I poke in my smallish IS mech to then hit 'S' to find out I'm going nowhere while being shredded. Turn around to find some moron in his crutch mech just standing right behind me seemingly watching the lighter mech in front of him get torn to bits.

Seriously though it is clan mech pilots it only seems to happen rarely with IS drivers.

Oh and another thing while your back a mech driving school learn to not shoot through freindlies mmmkay.

Well I finished my Warhawk-C KMDDs after about 11 games to get 3 KMDDs. Phase 2 just started. I bought a Storm Crow Prime,Dragon 5N, and a Timberwolf S. I spent 1.8 million C-Bills to outfit this Omnimech and I now need 7 more KMDDs. I now have more Mechs/Omnimechs that need to be outfitted than those that are by a large margin. I have enough to fill about 4-10 Union Class Dropships.

No, not damage farming. You leg assaults in lights so that you can stay on their back and they can't maneuver to get you.

Then you damage farm them.

So... Literally what I just said, then.

Then stop being a drain on your team and stop playing until you get the new one. It's not like not playing MWO will kill you. And if it does? Then... Well, not my problem.

have I mentioned I hate playing assaults?

so I load up the quad uac5 KC for the event. nothing special results, 5 matches, 4 losses 1 kmdd first or second to die since even though it takes me forever to actually get to the fight everyone just watches me waddle past them until i'm dead then maybe they'll consider moving. switch to the dual ac20- should be able to get some kmdds here. 6 more matches, good-ish matches (500+dmg) get me 0 kmdds lost 4 of those, managed to get one because some light stood still with it's back to me. meanwhile I fire away on something else with multiple rounds that are hitting- no kmdds- because it survived the match... I still die early due to advancing and armor sharing.

so far this and the jenner have been my biggest pains- finally got the jenner with an oxide that actually got all 3 in one match. panther I got lucky with - 2 in one match, 5 matches total to complete. griffin and catapult I got annoyed and loaded up as many streaks as I could after 8 matches 1 kmdd on the griffin. suddenly it got much faster.

no clan mechs so after/before the KC is done I only have the blackjack left to do.

though I did dust off the sarah's jenner for a bit, but kept getting kills not kmdds with it...

I have Highlander llC Keeper and Timberwolf S ready to play. I have 7 more KMDDs to get in the Timberwolf. Haven't been to the office today so no MWO. Ugh!!!! I still need resources to outfit a Griffin 2N,a Storm Crow Prime and a Dragon 5N.

[mad kat]

So I just reported a player for cheating (clearly using an aim bot of some kind, it was so painfully obvious there was no doubt). Then realise I may of reported the wrong player. Ooops

Not trying to be a ****, but you did realize both phases of this event are composed entirely of trial mech chassis on both clan and IS sides? No real reason to buy and fight out KMMD's on stock mechs unless you REALLY want those mechs.

No offense taken. Me and trial Mechs/Omnimechs do not mix. I have to customize my stuff.

[Neutron IX]

So I finished King Crab, Dragon, and was working on Blackjack.

Got 5/6 KMDDs on my Arrow, but then got iced in the opening minutes of a Conquest round, and thought, "what the hell, why not try for it on the Trial one while I wait?"

Quit the match, and launch in the Trial, get a Domination match on HPG.

Starts out worrisome...we have a Highlander IIC that's DCd right at the beginning. But we push in, and kind of skirt the top a little bit, picking at the Reds. And lo and behold. Bit by glorious bit, we get one kill, then another, then another...I'm all over the place in my Trial Blackjack, even pop-tarting at one point along the right side ramp.

I see a Mad Cat isolated, on the ramp downstairs, the one that's under the bridge to the top, so I drop down and scrap him 1v1, ultimately taking him out, and boom, now we're up 5-1. I say "push them!" and run up the ramp to flank a KGC who's focused on my team, and realize that my team is STILL hiding and poking, even though we have the clear numbers advantage, and even though half the mechs I'm targeting are glowing orange/red in key spots.

I get left hanging on the push and am ultimately taken out so I observe, as what can only be an excruciating reversal takes place, as our 5-1 advantage become a 7-8 disadvantage, then 8-8, then 8-9, 8-10, 8-11...and now I'm stuck observing the DCd Highlander IIC from before...

And Red team takes the match, as they wind down the cap timer in the center, and I'm left scratching my head wondering...

Why the hell wouldn't any of them push?!!

At least I got my last KMDD that match and ended with a match score of 1 kill, 5 assists, 1 KMDD, and 467 damage or something along those lines.

Oh, silly events...so silly.

[Spare Parts Bin]

Rip I don't get it either. I talk to my team we agree to a strategy then when things get hot. People hide and poke and get wiped one by one because no one supports each other.

[jper4]

had someone tell me about assaults are all about taking damage as I was commenting on counting the matches until I could get out of mine, pushing the enemy and leading the assault on the enemy (to be fair he was also in a king crab). I tell him I do that and that's why I keep dying because no one follows me. we end up losing 4-12. other guy has 2 kills 650 dmg, I have 1kill 430dmg. at least I got a kmdd out of it.

another match on grim- we start heading down the h line, someone calls for an f5 push to ambush some reds. people start complaining about me in G6 (on the way to f5) and how the match would be over by the time I get to the fight (meanwhile 2 ppc reds are busy trying to take shots at me thus not shooting at them). I see several of the reds in the little valley leading to theta, couple mechs flanking to my right. so I go into the fight- since as you know from the previous comments they should all be almost dead as my team has naturally nearly finished the fight at this point- they told me so, so it must be true).

now team is complaining about me fighting the whole red team (was only 5 there- all assaults and heavies) and thinking i'm some tier 0 superstar. naturally taking up a good chunk of the valley i'm taking all the enemy fire- (thus not shooting at the rest of the team- see above). I die naturally, same guy asks what I thought I was doing. I reply- pushing. the blue swarm comes in about 15 seconds later and we end up winning 12-6 or something. only about 300 dmg, think I got a kmdd not sure. not one person realized I had bought them the time to move up and finish them without their being shot to pieces.

ended up using a "joke" build dual lbx 10, dual LPL and managed to generally get 1kmdd per match so finally finished in about 15 matches or so. did get one good match though- we lost 11-12. was me and a linebacker at the end. him dark orange CT and me just running out of lbx ammo while crab paddling in the water on crimson to try to hide my orange left (and only) remaining leg which I lost fighting a fresher highlander but ended up killing. lose one LPL and was trying to get targeting on his CT (had to reverse my spin since my CT wasn't much better for a shield arm). was just getting past his arm when he killed me. 2kill, 2 (!) kmdds and 975 dmg. best match of the torture series.

but now I can return to the joy of blackjacks now. moving faster than a stock urbie will be a novel experience at this point.

Its not just clan pilots, its anyone in a mech at least 30 tons heavier... they LOVE to park behind the light/medium and use them as extra armor it seems

[Bulletsponge0]

Oh, and on crimson straights, why do heavy and assault pilots try to follow the lights through the saddle??? It is almost a guaranteed loss when they do that

[Spare Parts Bin]

I have won many Assault missions by hitting the enemy base first. Tried that today on HPG Manifold. I had a Cataphract follow me and we went for the basement. We got stopped by some crazy BlackJack pilot who was flirting with the undertaker. It kept trying to run circles around us. It damaged my left torso armour and cored my back armour but not before I nailed it with SRM-6s, and UAC-5 fire. One BlackJack down but not without losing the Cataphract as well.

I hauled metal can for the enemy base only to realize my team consisted of me and my trusty Warhawk-C. I got the enemy base down to half but the took our base. I lived but lost. UGH!!!!!!!!

[LTC Kilgore]

Events that require and combination of kills or kmdds should never be allowed to happen. just had a match on alpine, domination... our team had 4 heavies chasing 1 arctic cheetah all over the map, and they weren't even mechs that are part of the event... 2 dragons, a mad dog and a timberwolf... wtf?

[suffocater]

FFS why are people allowed to play shooting games if they can't aim at something that fills nearly the whole screen!? And why are they allways in my team!?

Kills and KMDD but not just KMDD. In a 4 day period I have acquired 98 Kill Assists trying to get KMDDs and I still need 7 for Timberwolf and 8 for my Highlander llC Keeper. UGH!!!!!

You can say that again, this has been one of the worst events yet. On Friday afternoon I thought I'd give the timber wolf challenge a go I thought pah easy. Been stomped in pretty much every single game due to useless ******* teams. And the worst part still haven't completed it. Had several 400+,500+ and even 600+ damage games and still only on 6/9 kmdd. Should quit really and go to king crabs.
