no, no you are not

i made a somewhat effort the first day to play for a few hours and see how it went from there- 3 hours, 20 or so matches and only 6 qualifying matches. always end up on the short end on the kill side. i alpha something, it dies, i'm about to be happy, then notice someone's name next to the kill.... finish the match kill-less- almost did a Bullet though a couple matches 2-3 kills...1 assist. played a couple more hours yesterday and managed to break 10 qualifying matches. and promptly found out i can't sell these "no interest in using" consumables that keep littering my inventory.

i have this issue where i can;t stay in one mech for more than a couple matches before i have to switch to something else. plus trying to grind out my enforcers and griffins so need that one win a day under my belt. generally i go with my Cent AH and Streaktaro 18 for these events. cent if kills are needed, streaktaro if dmg/assists/matchscore are needed. griffiin 3M is working it's way into the rotation despite being just basiced atm but is kind of a middle ground between the other two.

I'm like that too

I'll switch mechs every so often....and I'm grinding enforcers now too

it doesn't qualify for the challenge cause no assist..... son of a @^%&#^$*^$@*$^@*$^(&!!!!!!!!

edit: the other guy on my team was in a mist lynx.....

I see have room for improvement in that chassis, very solid damage. Though he should have poked more targets. (at least 9, I realize the 3 lights are very hard and/or already experienced instadeath early* to hit with the slow clan ERPPC)

Thankfully I finished with the "challenge" yesterday and can go back to CW. Unfortunately.....it isn't very active

*probably the case as they died with little done.

Two bases.

Enemy goes waterside. I call out the location and load of mech's are incoming from the waterside.

Teams continue to go furter with no intention of going back to base.

My lance stayed at the base and got wiped out. I explained to the team what's the use of VOIP and more when you don't respond.

First time i have to congratulate some pancake who had the next response: "This is not your personal army''.

I did not call out commands. I did not call out any orders.

This is the exact reason why people are inviduals on the solo que and play for them selves.

GG man.

and why VOIP is useless. many have said that but no, you rather get a worse ping and more gamecrashes for VOIP than just leaving it out.

I do have experienced some great matches while VOIP was a nice touch. But at the same time alot of matches do not. Highly frustating when you try to help and you are pratically ''powerless'' because a few will respond while the rest not.

I'm sure VOIP works great in the team play scene (e.g. 'competitive' or lance matches) but then again. But when the anonymous kicks in then everyone goes their own way. Not everyone, but it's atleast frustating to see.

This describes exactly the solo que.

competitive or lance groups got teamspeak.

so, in fact, everything stayed the same. just more crashes and a worse ping.

The solo guys who didn't want teamwork but wanted tools to do teamwork are now happy to have another tool to use their friendlies as bait.

But really, I've seen (heard) voip actually used twice this weekend to good overall effect and without anybody whining about playing mechcommander. So, that's about 1%.


Got my 80 points yesterday while recovering from a last bit of flu/cold. Of course, that just made me feel more ill. And now glancing into CW and the queues, there isn't anywhere to play a normal game of mwo.

start of match

assault pilot: Don't leave the heavies behind"

fast forward a few minutes...

team starts to push, assaults sit back and watch...well, they would have watched, if they weren't cowering behind a hill...

oh, they weren't LRM assaults either....they were just cowards

[C E Dwyer]

same old same old useless DW pilots that get a two digit score

[Spr1ggan]

Problem with this game is that most players never move or react to anything on the map. PUG mentality = This grid is mine, there are many like like it but this one is mine.

Unless of course a light runs past then it's all chase it.

On another topic they need to scrap the utter disgrace of a matchmaker and current elo system that's in place. And replace it with skill brackets, bronze silver, etc. I am sick to death of losing 9 out of 10 games because the other team has multiple high tier players on it while mine including myself is mostly made up of bronze level players. Whole team steamrolled and wiped in the first 2-5 minutes.

selfish S.O.B's in assaults hiding at the back, firing lrms at targets out of range doing F, all for the team except when only them left they parasite kills

[3xnihilo]

Lag. . . I hate lag. You can't hit a mech that has magic teleportation abilities.

had a match on mordor- two lances almost at the PUGzapper entrance. i notice the assault lance is taking the most roundabout route possible to join us (as in going around the longest pathing arc around the edge of the map instead of moving forwards) so i mention. "hey let's wait for the assaults before we push." 4 mechs push in. we all are dead by the time the assaults make it to the fight.

My (rare) daily whine: Poor lighting. I can't see my keyboard in the dark and hit the wrong keys occasionally. Yeah, I know, I should know my keyboard better but never learned. I could out-type the typing instructor in school using only one finger, lmao. I may be the only nerd(ish) that I know that can't type correctly.

Edit: It's why I have a mouse with lots of buttons, that I spilled Coke on and now all the buttons stick and are more difficult to use than the keyboard. Stupid lack of lighting(or place to put lamp) and stupid clumsy soda spilling me.

Yes, I'm whining about me.
