Lights are the only ones in the que not consistently 20+ (usually 30+!) when I look

I thought mediums were supposed to be the least useful?
(Yes - I am aware of the nova/scrow fetish right now)

Group queue back to normal. Played around eight games last night with about half being at least eight mans on opposing team. Although,we did beat one twelve man but it was sheer luck we did...
I met some Marik guys I'll remember their unit tag forever now for their staggering arrogance. We were the tagged on 4 man, on frozen city. We started with caves on the right and our glorious general told us to move to the caves. We though ok, maybe not best idea but we'll run with it. Three of my group (me inc) hovered near the exit watching for any enemy looping around to make sure our team didn't get caught out and to protect a DW as it moved to the cave.
Glorious Marik leader stared hurling abuse at us for not going with the team....
They rushed through and a pitched battle ensued. Odd thing to note, I in my 3L fought for around a minute of actual contact time and managed over a third of our glorious leader's damage out put-he in a DW was fighting for over 9 minutes....
Yet me and my guys were idiots. I asked him if he thought that watching your rear as you move, making sure we don't get surprised or flanked was being an idiot.
His reply? YES.
How are we expected to pay properly with people like that?

sounds like one of the typical dire-fail pilots that apeared en masse since they came out for C-Bills.

Then score the lowest on their team - then come to the forum whining about how OP Dwolves are.

[Alienized]

ikr.

when you sit in a dragon and do more damage and kills than the 3 dire wolves.
all i am mad about with the DW is that you can build so many highalpha builds that a medium just gets oneshotted through the center torso. thats not how it should be. i wish PGI would do something on the loadouts so you just cnat use like 6 srm6 + artemis on any mech. you would never see such stuff on thebattlefield anywhere.

They did, it is called Ghost Heat by the players.

6xSRM6 gets you FAR more heat when alpha'd than chainfired.

What you have to keep in mind - is that you DID see things like that on the battlefield.
So they cannot outright ban them.
And there is only so much they can do to limit them - when mechs come that way STOCK.
(as a scary thought? there are mechs that come dual Gauss + dual PPC stock as well)

na i know the devastator etc and i am not really scared about such loadouts,
Masakaari has 4 ppc as well but he cant fire it consistently. a dire wolf with 3 er ppc and 2 gaussrifles constantly shooting is just wrong tho.
as for the gauss/ppc combination thats actually legit on the battlefield, pure srms not. then i wonder if those fits were even ALLOWED to alpha or if there were some programs to not do this. simply because of its heat generation. also you dont lose the mech here would be interesting to see the loadouts once you would lose a mech on destruction.

i know what you mean with that lowest damage, that happens to me quite often because of my high risk playstyle sometimes it works sometimes not, part of the gamble.
but i prefer to do this than to sit back and wait for something to happen.

play the game instead of getting played with

My whine:
Imbawolves sucking the fun out of this game. I hope this clan crap gets nerfed to hell, when it comes out for Cbills. Otherwise this game will become unplayable.

Hence Koniving constantly asking for the 30 point heatcap.

[Alienized]

then, can i haz a long-tom as mechweapon? XD i loled when i used one in MW4 mercs.

btw, i never recognize ghost-heat because i use mainly hybrid builds lol. and no lrm's at all
but the 4 ac2 banshee was too lolz (that one propably had ghostheat^^).

30 point heatcap would propably screw up the BNC-3M in so many ways =/ mine has 2 er large + 5 med lasers. it hasnt alot of alpha nor good heat-containment but then you dont hit at 700m with the med lasers.

My whine.
My unit (well not mine) is a group of people that don't have the need to hear their own voices.
We will let almost anyone play alongside us as part of the drop.
However..........
Playing in a TS server and having a player join in that talks constantly.
Nothing to do with the game that we are in.
Nothing to do with the enemy team.
Just talking.
Not a bad player.
Perfectly acceptable tactics.
But shut the hole under your nose!!!!!!!!!!!

Request clear comms.

This is what we do. "Clear comms please". Get someone to be drop caller, and then everyone has to shut up to follow the drop caller.

[Alienized]

FC: SCOUT where is the enemy fleet!
scout: like 2 systems away i...
FC: SHUT UP YOU USELESS **** I DIDNT TELL YOU TO SAY SOMETHING!

thats how it goes lads.

Having to work Sunday because of I have to go fix major screw ups that a different company made

Hope there isn't some big challenge this weekend that I can't finish on Saturday

[Vassago Rain]

Dear goldforums.

Tonight I ggclosed for several hours, and even stomped a lords drop flat. It was great, but the choice of music for one game made us lose. Yes, one drop.

So I would like to make this post about picking bad music for your drops. It'll really mess with your powerlevels sometimes.

[mad kat]

Games like this where the clan mechs just don't pull their weight, unfortunately this is getting all to common now to the point where if i see a lot of clan mechs on my team esp' direfails i prepare to loose.

This isn't the worst clan mech let down i've had but a griffin and wolverine (brand new so not even basic'd) SRM boats doing the lionshare of the work reasures my point. But hey we won!

Yes the combined damage of TWO medium IS brawlers doing more damage than the sum of SEVEN clan mechs (excluding the DW).

just had a damn nice battle with my quickdraw, pushing hard. 714 damage.
it was all in the hands of a stormcrow with srm6 + artemis. he had almost full armor (inactive most of time....) and only wrecked mechs left to kill against nothing but the resource counter. and he lost it.
it just fits that a nova suicided at start.
2 useless mechs.
great to have.

[Bulletsponge0]

its challenge time that rewards kills and assists...

I have one thing to say about that...
