Bullet, you are NAILING it with your "patch notes" comments. Seriously!

We need a new companion thread to The Daily Whine, called "Been Reading the Patch Notes"...

My first post would be, "And I don't remember seeing anything about being able to walk through mechs now, so, why you got to block the entrances on Terra Therma when you go to the center?"

[loopala]

Were to start?

RL is sidelining me. Yep warm weather ,so work is taking up too much time I spent on MWO. Oh well see you guys on and off till winter.

UAVs it is too the point I will almost not drop without an erll in an arm just to shoot them down and prove to my team it can easily be done. OTOH I notice the red team also ignores my UAVs but then so does my team

NASCAR tactics. I guess nobody knows how to turn right, except the lrm whale that cuts through the middle, alone, yep dead whale

Patch day rage day. What rock do some of these button pushers crawl out of?

OMG on TT in or out! Yep I sound like your dad but please don't just stand there. BTW once your team all get inside don't every chase the one light back out. Pick a door and blast what ever trys to get in it.

Maybe it is a good thing I have yet to buy a mic.

gave up on leveling my Gray Death

its just awful what kind punishment non-elited mechs get currently,struggling to break 300 damage in the damn thing.

I aim for 200 damage plus per game for a 'decent' or okay game, that is enough to core 1 atlases or kill 2 victors. that is enough to carry your weight and then some and its a good bench mark to aim for, especially for non elited mechs.

[3xnihilo]

Top damage and tip match score with 265 damage and 2 assists in a shd 2k LRM boat. Next highest damage was like 201 or something. It was like the perfect storm of bad rounds for all 12 players on my team all at the same time.

i think the latest patch announcement thread is a bigger whine thread than this one. lol.
you should check out Unit47 trying to bash me lol.

so..i just read the patch notes....

and I didnt' see anywhere in there where they buffed nascar, yet every team I've been on tonight had gone on a mad dash to the right, completely ignoring the enemy till they make at least 3/4 of a lap around the map

WTF is going on??

Can someone tell me the what's so great about the NASCAR tactic? Circling around until you are back where you started.I've won more games in Caustic when we simply slugged it out. Last time they started this merry go round I just left and made a sandwich.

It works if your team can catch the slower enemy assaults, and take them out early through prodigious use of LRMs, and other long range shoop-da-whoop, and dakka. The problem is when they don't, and instead your assaults get caught, and pulverized.

[bad arcade kitty]

thankfully i don't play skirmish
the only nascar in conquest it's capping
hpg manifold is a perfect nascar map for conquest, you go to take two enemy points and then to recap yours making a whole perfect round

It works a good portion of the time IF you have some speedy mechs on your team that can get around to the rear of their forces and hopefully catch some slower, Assault/Heavies that spawned in the "bad" spot. From there it just snowballs, you just keep going around to keep nailing their slower mechs alone or with minimal support. If they stop and defend, then you just back off a little and wait for the rest of your group to arrive and then you battle it out. PUGS will usually just keep trying to chase and you can keep picking them off and rolling through.

I get shafted enough times by this NASCAR crap. I hate it, but it's the design of these awfull maps.

It's also the teams that have no problem feeding their comrades to the wolves if it means they get 10 more damage.

thing is...the "nascar" maps.. (caustic, river city....) have so many more tactical options available, but pugs won't/can't learn them and just resort to lemming mode...

[loopala]

so i have to pay cbills to dump my faction to play for a clan with mechs i have not played in awhile. well i have been meaning to get a better ranking in the GB then point 3. i guess i better dust off the old claner mechs in GB colors. now what was that drop deck i used to do so bad with?...

[mad kat]

I need to apologise to everyone in my last match i stopped short of using bad language but my mocking of my team is shameful even when our four assualt mechs literally hid right at the back and did nothing until the enemy had pushed their way all the way to the back of the map.

It was only when i shamefully called the assault pilots a bunch of ******* they actually started shooting something by then too late. I must apologise for my unnecessary insults though.

Seriously though what's with the level of cowardice today?

its just a trust thing,nobody wants to die with 20 damage only to get abandoned by their timid team

so,i grabbed a summoner c from the sale and OMG its fun,the mobility quirks make it so nimble

[jper4]

i once tried telling our team to go left once in river city. they apprently felt if they went right long enough it would eventually get them to the left. we lost
