Match maker its all ways the match maker..

what gives PGI when the MM stuffs six, yes SIX trial mechs on one team

I mean can you seriously not programme in something that might just ..might just make it fair not just for the seasoned people but for the poor b'stards that haven't a clue, and might actually stay more than 25 games, it if was 3 in each team instead of 6 and none...


you can't be you in the top twenty in an urby, and I don't somehow think with scores your getting people are carrying you

had to quit playing the urbie... got tired of getting stuck in groups with people that couldn't do more damage than the tonnage of their mech...100 ton assaults doing 30 damage???

lol I feel you, I thought I'd get around the top 50 mark with mine, but I keep top scoring in loses its painful when i'm outscoring an atlas by 3 in whats supposed to be the joke mech

Doing pretty well in this challenge, and having a reasonable amount of fun.

The whine is, that moment when I finally realize what time it is, and that I have to get the kids to bed, is when a friend from the Daily Whine (draiocht) FINALLY hits the group in the LFG rotation...

Though, as we all know, if I HAD been able to stick around, that would have been the match when I did <100 damage and no kills, while completely forgetting what my HUD elements mean, as I hit shutdown every time I try and fire my weapons accidentally.

Maybe it was for the best.

People who rant and rave about team-mates' performance in low-Elo PUG games.

Of course those complaining are very possibly right, but I only have two questions. First, it's a low-Elo game, so what did you expect? It's a bit like complaining about the sky being blue. Second, if you're such a boss player yourself, how come you're in a low-Elo game?

Fortunately there aren't that many of these people -- say one every ten games -- but sadly that's still more than the number people giving suggestions in a friendly manner. More of the latter would be highly welcome.

I saw Cathy in an Urbie, while in an Urbie...Cathy you got the upper hand in that match 3 kills I think. I was on the team on terra Therma that said "we will just wait for them to come to us" while the assaults took turns feeding themselves to your team at one of the openings to Mt Doom.

Maybe because the MM stuck you into a group because no one else was available to get parity?

The progress I made yesterday wiped out in 12 consecutive losses. When I hit my target I'm out

I whine less because I play even less now, sadly and I haven't even finished basics on all my Resistance mechs and none are mastered. Game's just too irritating to play at the moment.

Keep your chin up...It'll surely get better with the steam release and all that leet talent floods MWO's underworked servers

I play less as well, but i do notice or some sort that the playerbase has shrunk? Atleast the orignal backers.

Do notice a increase of new players.

But there were days were you could not keep up the whine... !

[C E Dwyer]

Well the ubry challenge has shown me for sure that I suck in slow lights.
Past challenges when I gave it everything I could expect to get around the 50-60 mark.
when I played casual get under the 100 mark.

This time around played solo, didn't use modules or strikes and best I managed was 102, the second score was I suppose ok for a casual weekend but the third variant sucks not breaking 200.

But this isn't my whine.

I'm utterly sick of people that say they want to play this franchise then whine and complain about its rules, its canon, and say we should ignore it, because it doesn't suit them, or they don't like it.

Well I've news

This isn't Titanfall.
This Isn't Hawken.

This is Mechwarrior and its Battle Tech history has been around since 1985 so DEAL WITH IT !

[Alienized]

i play alot less than usually. and rant less.

[jper4]

did ok fri-sat afternoon in the urbie event. then had to stop and watched my rank fall like a rock. outside the top 100 in all 3 by the end and in the 63 category i dropped to the 300s- for whatever reason i coudln;t do much of anything in either one of them even though one isn;t much different from the 60 and 60L (peaked at 27th in the 60 and 48th in the 60L before stopping and dropping) and had more matches in the 63. sure i turbo charged the 60s with xl 120/125s to hit a stock enforcer like 64kph and just went std 100 on the 63s (did have an 120ish xl in one of them but kept dying instantly so ST hits- which doesn;t happen in the other two). maybe painting one of the 63s completely in bright marik purple wasn;t the best plan...

on the plus side i think i handled myself well in urbie on urbie combat probably killing 2 for each one that got me. oddly i had trouble racking up assists in my urbies- they are clearly too OP and kept getting kills- several 3-4 kill matches with 0-2 assists. even have 2 of them (not the cursed 63) with kdrs over 1 and i just finished basics on them saturday just before i stopped.

like several others i also found myself in the top half of the scores most of the time in my garbage urbie trying to figure out how. i didn;t even try max engining any of them.

but the REAL rant is this. i had Stormtrooper Urbie- the all white mech ready to go, and i'd get terra therma or the mech factor most matches. then i'd switch to the all black Darth Urbie and get alpine, frozen city and forest colony snow.

They all want the PvE solo game where it is all about them. MWO is not about the individual, but the team. Too many can't handle playing well with others. Maybe I am that narcissist, maybe not.

I might drop a little tonight, but I am sick of trying to play with friends and getting my head handed to me because of the options left to me being abyssmally matched.

[Revis Volek]

First game of the night....

Guys take command and moves the lances all around just for the hell of it.

Then as we are down 3-1 someone TK's him for said incident....

We loose and i see we had NO assaults on our team...they had 2.

Maybe better luck tomorrow MWO.....

[Kjudoon]

all it takes is one game like this and the game loses players for the night, if not for the weekend or the week.

PGI needs to start recognizing you can't force players to accept bad situations. They will go elsewhere. Steam will not change this, but rather accelerate the process.

on terra therma.....

we are up 2-1 but were slow getting to the caldera...

the team actually listened to others and backed away from the door, setting up a firing line

however...

when the red team flooded out of that door, a raven came first and ran towards the back of the formation..

our brilliant assault pilots all turned to fire on the raven, leaving the entire enemy heavy and assault lances to come out virtually unopposed


my god....people get so desperate for kills that they go full ret.... well, you know the saying...

Did you post mediums to the rear? Some assault have a fear of lights. Did you work it out before contact?

[loopala]

for every great win there is a great loss. i like 8-12 to 11-12 10 min or more matches were i never know who will win till the last mech falls. elo maybe the problem. i don't know.

i just want to play my mech with a team like me against a team like us.

the lfg thing was not as bad as i thought it would be. once i got with a core group and we had a few matches to feel each other out the games became more enjoyable. not we stomped everything in our path, as the group query has some very good groups in it, but some good give and take matches. kind of like dropping pug and getting in rotation with some good players that work well with you.

here's hoping PGI fixes any of the many small but irritating bugs before the community just turns their backs on the whole LFG bit. for the very casual player it may be the thing we need.

[Rear Admiral Tier 6]

some people are truly butthurt that i pilot my grid iron with 2 ac5:s and 3 ml:s instead of the gauss.

its better to die with 600-800 damage than 100-150,damage over time builds dont really work with turbo-random pug drops.
