the thing was... i was the only one of my team not camping in E6. i ran into the enemy flank, keeping 4-6 mechs busy.
alone. and i still done it until it was 0-10.
whole team died at E6.
except me. i ran towards the mapend. overheating my mech until suicide. i had enough.

Amazing that the battle lasted 11 minutes

today must be "International Walk in Front of Friendly Mechs Who Are Actively Firing at an Enemy Day"

probably averaging 1000 damage today...300 to the enemy, and 700 to teammates who walk right in front of me as I'm firing...

What is wrong with people??

I would like to think it's due to the minimap not having a zoom in/out getting a cluster of blue arrows in the same spot...and the other tunnel vision. Very narrow tunnel vision, i can be standing shooting at one place, for the last 30 seconds, and some one will walk up and shoot me in the back...from my own team.

you don't need the minimap to be able to see all the pretty colored lights shining out from my mech....or to hear the dakka comeing from it...

So the guy who shot me in the back from my team, when i was standing there the whole time didn't see my whole mech? But i digress.

For those of us who have been around for a while it's easy, for others it's not. And in-game wise, we can only guess/assume from a 1 sample game how skilled they are.

I'm just asking for more features that would help said new players to be able to avoid these mistakes, instead of learning them by getting yelled at the community, but that's just my opinion as is anything i say.

Edit: Something as simple as Betty giving off a warning message when you or some one your team is damaging you(By IFF recognition) could help quite a bit.

Agree 100%...
I don't understand (well, i kind of do) why PGI has completely ignored any kind of tutorial for new players.....

"Hey new people, here's our game. We hope you like it and give us all kinds of money, but we will do nothing to teach you how to actually play it."

Heh yeah, I've never had much faith in PGI. But i doubt tutorials are the way to go, new players are itching to play, jump in the fray, there has to be built in features to help them along(NO PGI STARTING IN 3RD DOES NOT HELP THEM ) that should have an option to be turned off by experienced pilots. But back on topic before it gets closed for PGI bashing...

People who still cry "premades" in soloQ.

There's a new psychosis growing. The idea that only Lone Wolves should be allowed in the solo queue as if it is their own little sandbox and anyone else showing up in there with tags next to their name is as welcome as the cat crapping in the sandbox.

Teamkills and attacks on those with group tags has spiked. PGI better be quick on banning these nutjobs.

And may the Lord help anyone who accidentally or deliberately drops in a solo queue match with a teammate on either side. Let the butthurt floowwwwwwwww....

We have loads of tutorials made by PGI and NGNG in the training grounds section. The problem is that not many players frequent it. This all comes back to the fact that the majority of new players these days (the young ones that is), don't bother looking up anything in the game. The other night I had a player ask how to use "night vision". We grew up with the habit that the first thing you do when you install a game, is go into the options menu, and look up the key bindings, to see what buttons do what. Even though the training grounds get their own giant splash screen on the website's home page, and on the client itself, most people don't bother checking it out.

I haven't dropped since the latest server down time, and the new patch, but has it really gotten this bad?

How is this a problem (unless you mean team killing)? If I'm jealous and lonely what's wrong with me taking out my rage on faction oriented enemy members first?

He is talking about Lone Wolves killing faction players on their own team.

[Mazerius]

The awesome feeling of one shotting a DireWolf with my Warhawk(3 ppc head shot o.O) then the whines that follow it :\ On the one hand i feel kinda bad for him cause getting taken out that fast in a 100 tonner sucks but still no reason to whine not like i would be able to repeat the shot haha.

just the general mount of facetanking, "run straight at the first red thing you see and die" stupidity today is ridiculous.

its criminal the amount of retardation in the solo cue today

[Gorgo7]

The damn de-sync (is that what it is?) everyone seems to stop moving for 30 sec or LONGER. I end up on the other side of the board dead.
To make matters worse it only seems to happen when in the heat of combat. My blood is flowing, I am focused, I am one with the machine...and all stop, wake up dead.
This sucks.

i'm guiltiy of a few FF incidents when i'm in my shorter mechs from face tanking. get caught in the middle of the firefight. turn around and am face to face with something bigger but am too close to it to see a triangle or colored box so i fire and run. then as i get some distance i see the one i shot is blue... oops...

Oh yeah, that would be me. i'm used to playing a locust which is short enough to go under the fire or jump over the fire in something jumpy, and everyone on the other team is like "that guy, shoot him first" so i have to run at some point.
