will you be my mother?

Double xp weekend. Watching people "skill up" mechs by grinding past their basic levels as quickly as possible. Funnily opposite to a proper learning of skills, whereby a newbie would start with the easiest (master level) and slowly remove training wheels until left with a more difficult mech (basic level) that they've been properly experienced with. "Good game design" would then only count basic level mechs for the core gameplay (non-tutorial. stats? CW? achievements? higher rewards?). Of course, this is so antithetical to MWO's current design that I might as well just leave this here clowned as a whine.

You've said that like MWO was the only game that gives you more advantages the more you play. As if it wasn't the norm and there were loadsa games where you start with all in-game skills and slowly lose them as your personal skill increases.

Yet more threads by the prosolos screaming and crying to defend their special snowflake queue. Oddly the transcript I posted got utterly ignored by the guy that said it:) The prosolos oddly glossed over it too-funny that......
This solo stuff is just mind blowing to be honest. Team based, multiplayer game where it's meant for you to form units within your faction and people want to be deliberately gimped and alone without reaching out to make friends...

Utterly bonkers. Yet, they don't see it and abuse anyone who says otherwise. And the game suffers as a result. I can see the whining affecting CW too-and if it does that MWO's potential is utterly borked, it'll never have a chance to be what it could be.
Our probably last chance to have that battletech game we dreamed about, tailored to the casual solo guy.....

Just noting the missed opportunity to apply Learning Theory. But yeah, that's why I put "good game design" in quotes... it's in the academic sense and definitely not the norm out there. Other games are a lot nastier about their pvp leveling, whereas it's merely a nuisance in mwo (and more so when a player could push past it in just a few games this weekend).

i noticed the complaints abotu mechscaling some time ago but i think i got a perfect picture on the actual size of a atlas.



its not bigger than the wheel at the front

[Kjudoon]

52 feet is approximately the size of a 5 story office building. I'd say the scaling's just about right.

[Alienized]

yep it is. put a atlas into monument valley and it looks like a toy.

[Bulletsponge0]

is there a challenge happening right now?

because I'm seeing some of the most idiotic play I've ever seen.

Viridian bog..5 minutes into the game, and my team hasn't left the spawn..then they chased a squirrel and we got rolled by the enemy

River City....the heavy lance decided to do a lap around the map as the rest of the team is engaging the enemy...thus we get rolled...

WTF os going on???

Have you deleted any screen shots lately? I did that once and the new shots I took replaced the "missing numbers" of the ones that I deleted so that I had to look back through my old shots to find them. You can sort by date instead of file name and that would let you see pretty quickly if this is the case.

game is becoming unplayable with the hit reg in its current state

put 200 points of damage into the front of an adder...nothing

locust takes 180 points of damage and doesn't lose a single component..

WTF is going on?

Just got out of cw match, put six 20 pt alphas into the back of a cent at 210-ish meters. Result? STILL ALIVE. Just after that put four 28pt alphas into left torso of an orion-result? STILL HAD ARMOUR.....

yeah...its abysmal tonight

fs9 takes 5 ac 20 rounds and numerous MLs....nothing....

imagine how bad it wll be when the servers are overloaded from the steam release

[3xnihilo]

^^ in a kind of twisted way this makes me feel better about the round I had earlier in my cent-AH with an ac 20 that couldn't kill anything...maybe I am not as bad as I thought?

At the start of a match the second I peaked over the hill as a light mech I was instantly cored by 4 gauss rifles and a ppc to the face.
