Ghost drops are the number one whine on my mind today.

Capella is being ghosted to death.

Capella is unable to counter attack due to there being a surfeit of Davions ALWAYS in the attack Que.

Won all four of my defenses in two hours. We still lost all territories except the one I (and others, mostly Pugs) was fighting on. Now we can't get enough people for a single defense.

go go Davion FOTM zerg........

My whine before I hit the land of NOD......soloists constantly demanding the game cater to them above everyone else. When is enough...enough for them?
The phrase "I'll do what I want" should be punishable somehow.....

That's just it my friend the numbers don't add up either.....one example was 12 direct hits with a ppc spider one game. All shots were sub 400m and all were 100% direct sure hits. That is 120 damage. It said I did 79. ??
One game a myst lynx took 4 28pt alphas to it's CT...I died and it said I did 25 damage. the only mech I shot was the lynx...

I've seen that, but I've also seen me pumping uac5 after uac5 round into a griffin that didn't want to die. This was on Terra Therma and he popped up on me and my 4x uac5 crabby patty very early in the match. He didn't torso twist or do anything to avoid the shots nailing him square in the CT. I kid you not, he almost cored me before he finally went down. A highlander came in and finished me off. I got close to 400 dmg, with all but a few shots hitting him center of mass. I don't understand it, but some days are just like that.

God i hate Firestarters.

Just utterly broken POS that does not register damage.

I got no problems with Firestarters. Just shoot them in the legs, and they die as fast as all the other lights.

The mech where I often get the impression, that it is a "broken POS" is the Centurion. I can reliably kill Hunchbacks, Trebuchets and Blackjacks, but it seems I put a shitload of damage into Centurions and they can still walk away as if it was nothing.

I always wonder why there are so many "Spider is broken"- or "Firestarter is broken"-threads, but no one for the Cent.

My money's on the geometry. Tall thin mechs get hatred from fat wide mechs and the skinny mechs say get over it chubby.

The Centurion obviously has an endocrine issue to have such a broad torso and flimsy arms.

I like to think of the cent as Johnny Bravo, just paint the crest yellow.....

The last challenge gone (IMO) was good.

I had budgeted 70 games and manage to achieve it in 57.

However while some games where stand out brilliant others just had players of a certain.....persuasion.

[mad kat]

Match make being all ****** up tonight had to carry my team in two games but still wasn't enough. Once in a pretty baby and once in a locust 1E.

Was fun out brawling and killing a centurion and A wolverine fighting together and something else in an xl engined PB though.

[Jon Gotham]

The usual whine about players that don't want to fight. They would rather camp and hide, hoping ANYONE else as long as it's not them take the hits.....
Then same "people" when you say something getting all defensive over it! when you know what you have done, just admit it. Lose the guilt/shame transference-it's just sad.

[Bulletsponge0]

firestarters are SOOOOOOO broken

just had a match...see a firestarter with yellow internal rear CT.....put 2 CERPPCs into it...and.....nothing......he runs away like I wasn't even there...

[Jon Gotham]

Oddly put two 30pt alphas into one's CT earlier at around 50m range...result? Yellow armour.

Seriously!! I hated PGI when they released the Timber and Stormcrow, but Urbanmech?? This kind of P2W is unacceptable!!

We were warned about the slippery slope. First the Pirates Bane and now the Urbanmech. But seriously, Yay Urbies!

Gorgo7., is there some kind of Liao central TS? My contract is up shortly and if people are needed I'd happily sign on and fight some Davions!
Though I'd be pugging I'd happily take orders off of someone.

I noticed last night that my win column is greater than my loss column. Which means...start the losing streak I had two of the dumbest rounds ever this morning (which is frustrating when you only have time for 2 rounds). Terra Therma: all the lights rush center and die, mediums wait for assaults but the assaults only go to the bottom of th ramp and stop. A few guys poke for awhile til they are dead. Then we ffinally just get bowled over by the enemy team. 12-2

The. River city night- most of the team starts to circle- one lance decides to go the other way straight into the full enemy force and die. The circle party can't decide wether it is quicker to turn around or keep circling to catch up to the enemy... So does both and neither at the same time. Final score 12-1. Granted I am part of the team and I do stupid things so I will bear my part but man was it frustrating.

Personally, I'd love to know exactly what causes players to be timid. I logged off in such a sate of disgust and well frankly loathing I shocked myself.
I only played a few games and only had one game where the players were up for playing. Every other game the layers just stood about doing nothing, got smashed in an embarrassing manner in each game. I actually felt ashamed of my teams and their performance.
Why do people click "play now" and then don't play?
I've had a few thousand games ow I'd reckon and by about game #20 I realised that being aggressive and pushing wins games. Now if I, an average human being with average intellect can observe this after just twenty tries-why can't others see this after one thousand plus?
WHY is the average player so passive?

I can understand it in a light -- but why in the heck are the most timid players in 100T mechs....

25,000 C-Bills for a win 20,000 for a loss. IMO the difference should be much greater.
