In this last game, I should have LD'd at start ... would have probably been of more use to my team.

Someone please remind me to NEVER play before I've had my 1st cup of coffee.

Fair enough, and your right, but i tend to rage when I'm well into the double digit losing streaks. My longest losing streak was mid 20's (26 i think) a couple of weeks ago, i bitched about that in this thread too =D


Fair enough as well. I reckon I'd be getting testy in those circumstances too. Fortunately, my win/loss ratio is low enough that I rarely get stuck on the losing team for more than five or so matches :)

People get their knickers in a not and get offended by my comments, that's fine, what if i get offended by being subjected to this lack of decent gameplay over and over again?


Indeed, we all probably need thicker skins. I generally ignore negative comments in the chat, unless they're constructive, but every once in awhile, one rubs me wrong. I guess the "worse team" comment is one of those. I'll try to get over it. Cheers!

Yeah, that one was brutal.

Mad Kat and I were by the citadel on river city. I pop a uav and expose 11 of the enemy. Type in chat "we need help in (grid I can't remember)" .then I look at the mini map and see the other 10 teammates chasing a squirrel, ignoring.g our pleas. So I said screw it, as mad mad moved to a position to take them on from a flank, I took them on head on, in a blackjack. First one to die! Mad Kat lived longer because he wasn't as suicidal (stupid?) as I was. And in the end, we were the top two on the team in damage....



Edit: quoted the wrong person, and since I'm on my phone, I can't do anything about it.....So deal with it. Lol

Not so sure about that. I derped on that match and died pretty quickly after a brief hide. Lesson in fail that was.

Got a screen shot?

so why has nobody told me that the trees on viridan bog will support a cplt and with practice you can leap from tree to tree like tarsan. found this out on accident in a game so of to the testing grounds i went.



BTW i need to work on the leaping from tree to tree part.

btw sorry alienized- i sort of told my team to focus on you first when we crossed paths on viridian today. of course it was PUGs so no one listened and you still got 3 kills and were one of the last four to die on your side i think. :)

as for me i can;t kill anything today though team keeps winning despite my efforts. and as usual i thought i had about a dozen or so as i shoot the red CT and see someone else's name who i don;t even see getting credit for the kill.

eh np. it was lost as that bloody king crab went to your base... solo...
also: half team didnt move again but camped behind the hill.
it were 3 kills? rly? didnt notice, too busy running around with red center torso :P
this ice ferret can be fun but damn... the teams are so bad it cant use its potential =/

last battle i just done: 4 med lasers + narc on the ferret.... i went middle, narced hellbringer and a spider that i brawled alone. i noticed that as i had to run with open side torso. my team kept standing still on the walls not able to shoot anything...
*face-desk* quite sad when you are the first that fights something. first that kills something (the spider). narcs constanly.
still survives the longest and has most damage.
in a ice ferret without modules.
sometimes i just wanna cry =(

Agree. Neither are IS Lasers. I found so many ppl complaining about the LLas nerfs of the IS, I really don't see what the problem is.
I guess it has something to do with lurms on the clantech side. It's always lurms :wub:

yeah you and one other guy had 3 kills each. the shocking part was i typed in for something speedy to RTB to stop the crab and...wait for it... people did! granted i didn;t know it was a crab at the time and when i did i headed over to help.it died just before i could get into laser tickling range. think you left when we had your base down to under 25%.

the real weird part was that it was 9 to 9. we had two guys capping, i was heading that way from heading back to our base to deal with the crab and briefly chased you until you outran me and some light chased you down, but was still about 1k away when the cap finished. nothing was at our base. nothing targetable. i have absolutely no idea what your last three mechs were doing or where they were. not at your base, not at our base and not in the middle either. on the plus side i actually got a kill that match. one of the few today.

Oh man, I am one of those folks who pretty much never causes an accidental TK. Ever. I think in the span of almost 3 years playing or whatever, I had maybe had 2 accidental TKs?

Until yesterday on Alpine, when the Red team is charging the hill and hitting us from behind with a beautiful flank while most of the rest of the team is focused on the handful down in the valley.

I get my right arm shot off, and in what was really an act of defiance/desperation, decide that I'm going to drop an Arty right into the middle of their 5-mech swarm as they're chasing one of our Lights all over the place.

Drop the smoke just before they run past, and then, our Light (who had run clear of it), doubles back and runs right into it just as the shells hit.

Only kill I got out of the maneuver was...him. :unsure:

i tried it with a kitfox a bit easier then a cplt. i imagine the faster lite mechs make this look easy. heck even took a hoverlander for a try surprisingly did better then i thought it would. (i want to cry when i a pilot an assault with JJs these days, expectantly the HGNs QQ)

i guess i just missed the memo about this....

The trick is to climb up on a plateau and jump down in it. So far I have done this with my vindies, panthers, griffins and shawks. If you are small and have a weapon range over 750m you are impossible to figure out.
