Just lost a battle because a barely scratched dual HGR Annihilator on my team decided to disengage from the battle, when it was only 300 vs 400 cap points, at 2 vs 3 cap point control.

RAAAAAAAAAAGE

Last night in two games we had 1 disco the first game and 2 the second. Needless to say we lost both badly. A team that is silent worries me. For good reason they rarely coordinate, the enemy certain are.

My whine, why don't more sneak attacks work out this well?

I think you mislabeled that video. should be "steiner scout flanks for victory!"

Latest "Portal Update" borked game...way to go PGI. In game FPS has tanked and Main page takes forever to load. Was slow to load before but now it's brutal. Nice update people... and don't say it's me or my PC...worked OK till last "Portal Update" and I have changed nothing on computer. I for one am dreading the Solaris update if this is a taste of things to come....

Except maybe the fact you haven't changed anything on your computer could be why it runs like crap.

What are your specs? If you're trying to run MWO on a toaster, that is certainly why. For reference, my Mechlab and everything loaded up just over a minute, and I use a laptop with a GTX960M and about 16 Gigs of RAM. I know there's more to computer specs, but considering how 'weak' this computer is (Can run Fallout 4 on all high, but at about 40-odd FPS), if you're having more trouble than I am, your computer's probably outdated somewhere.

My computer is less than 1.5 years old and QP has been glitchy and laggy all day.

[mad kat]

Saw some awful players last night. The kind that stand still in the open and fire lrms without locks and machineguns at 500m out and not turning around when being cored from behind bad.

Yet somehow we won every match?!?!?!

Must just mean the other team were even more Potato ish. Lots of players with no allegiance or unit tags either.

This is what I am talking about.. my computer is fine...including my GTX 960..things have changed on the PGI side and it's getting worse with every update/patch. Still playable but noticeable degrading of FPS and loading times.....and looks like I'm not the only one...https://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/264008-long-loading-times-into-mechbay/

That is why I hate new patches.

Time for another break methinks. The same thing that sends me away each and every time has reared it's head, yet again.
The mwo playerbase as a whole are cowards. They just don't seem to want to actually play....hiding and running..using team mates as shields.....
The shift towards single player focus has REALLY annoyed me this past year. I didn't sign up for super solo, my thousands of dollars are not happily invested atm. Solaris just pushes it even further towards solo play, with a slight nod with 2 vs 2..

Maybe this time might be time to bow out permanently. the game i wanted to play back when I started has never come about-and that is down largely to the attitude of the players, the solos.

oh well:( About $3500 worse off lol.

I go through periods of time that I hate this game. Usually when I see what you described. Keep playing. I usually have great games with great team play around the corner. I am afraid to tally how much I have spent on MWO.

Something must be done about the tier rankings.... Getting awfully tired of losing the pug lottery in QP...

I no longer care about my Tier in QP. I am trying to evaluate builds in FP and QP.

I can not believe the number of people who refuse to agree,disagree or even acknowledge comms in QP or FP. The game then usually ends in our side getting the crap kicked out of it( no nice way to sugar coat this).

Clan or IS spawn rushing is a real crappy way to win. I got one Kill and three Kill Most Damage Done scalping IS Heavies and Assaults rushing our spawn on Forest Colony. If you are spawn rushing I do not feel sorry farming you. Amazing how little back armour some Mechs carry.

I carry little back armour simply because 99% of the time I'm actively seeking to engage, I'm not i the habit of running away:)
I wish we could reverse the damage done by solo Q to the playerbase though,all it has done is teach bad habits and selfish play. Solaris isn't helping either. It's just encouraging even more solo mentality.
Gave it another go today and I got wall to wall timid cowards every game.
I've also pretty much abandoned clan mechs on the whole, just too squishy for my liking.

New Battletech game came out...it's awesome.

My whine is, it didn't launch with the "additional 16 hours added to the length of each day" I was hoping it would launch with so I could do all the things I need/want to do every day, plus play it, MWO, and WoW with my kids (plus all the other unfinished books/video games/movies/television series/outdoor and other activities/etc).

I am now convinced that half the players in MWO actively try to lose... of course, its the half that is seemingly always placed on my team.. the enemy team is the other half of the population, the half that does things to help their team win...

You and I must be on the same teams. I think AI performing random actions might be able to overcome some of the teams I have been on.

Yep same boat. Match Maker hates me. Oh just have to get gud and start carrying my team. LoL never going to happen. Teir 5 for life!

[Neutron IX]

Don't feel too bad, I may be the most overrated Tier 3 to ever play the game.

Of course, this has been compounded by having so many challenges to grind out in unfamiliar/un-optimized mechs gimping some of the ways I actually can/do contribute...lol

[Steel Raven]

Sooo many LRMs today, so much armor hiding behind hills. Then I had a Atlas on my team shooting into the dirt in the middle of a match... ether a good chunk of players have split the PUG scene for Solaris and Battletech breaking Match Maker or I just need to stop playing on Sundays.
