I see the weekend challenge timid/scared to get shot at playstyle is dominating pug groups again...

Oh and mr lrm spam till the end of days is also about. Had three cracking games yesterday back to back where in two of them I lost about 60% of my mech in ONE volley from other team.....my dirty scum bag crime was to dare to move from cover to cover and not have ECM+21 AMS systems.....

I've hardly touched MWO for two weeks now. The stomps (in pug queues mostly) and lame builds+lrm spammage and the shockingly dire attitude of the solo centric playerbase (see any thread about pugs in cw) is turning me away from the game. It's s shame as I've spent loads of money on this, money I can't get back.
Every mmo I've played that has catered to the uber casual has lost my custom, I hope MWO isn't the latest on the list.

dont play much if you dont have at least 8 people organized in TS. its no fun otherwise.

just got stomped by an lrm heavy team. they did right. lights spotted mediums backed them up. once you got close to the boats the heavies and assaults made your life miserable. And BTW my team, well they just stood there and got stomped. wound not push the boats en mass. we got stomped 2 to 12. i got a boat by jumping into their mix and killing it before the assaults killed me and someone got one of the lights.

come on ppl when the reds have LRMs charge the boats! Also BTW when the red have boats on the mining collective for the love of kittens don't just stand in the middle and get LRMed to death

hadn't touched my hunchies in ages til i started reading threads here. first one was a troll 6LL hunchy4P in a jesting reply to all the 6LL stalkers out there. self said to me "hmm can i make that workable?" came up with 3LL,1ML w/STD235 engine. first match- 3 kills 700 dmg, next match 2kills 500dmg, couple matches later 5 kills 550dmg (my first real carry harder match- we lost 12-8) and brought the team back from 7-9 to 12-9 with the last three kills. have been a steady 1-3 kill 300+dmg pretty much every time out sicne i started using it.

next thread- problems with the hunchy 4sp w/5ML, 2 SRM6s. swapped my loadout to that-figured i'm doomed since it's the hottest mech setup i own. overheat less than with my other mechs, 3 kills the first match. 4 kills two matches after that. several 2-3 kill matches with 300+ dmg regularly. then this weekend HPG- 6 kills (ok 7 but that friendly raven shouldn;t have sprinted between the t-wolf and my srm 6s with his back facing me) oddly first two and last two kills for the team, 600dmg.

just between those two mechs my kdr is over 2.0 since i went to those loadouts (for perspective my overall is 1539/1561 atm). oh and caught an enemy flying twolf on my head while i stood still and let the three friendlies take it apart

i now have an unnatural urge to facehug twolfs in these two- and walk away from it's wreckage about 75% of the time (a bad habit when i switch to something else the next match- locusts don;t seem to facetank that well... )

my whine- WHY WASN'T I DOING THIS BEFORE!!!!!!?

My daily whine for the day is that I had just started a match, not 10 minutes ago and not 5 seconds into it, one of my own team members shot me in the back (I presume testing weapon heat in the veridian bog) then when I told him to be careful where he shot, he did it again and kill me flat out 10 seconds into the drop match.

My question is why some people even do such a thing in the first place? I would name names about who it was, but I am not the sort of person to do that (plus I am not sure if it is allowed here or not to do that) but come on, people, what drives people to act like rear ends to kill their own team? I mean, it not only makes them team killers but also hampers the efforts of the rest of the team to ensure a victory in a drop match.

Whatever the case, I know his name (I write down all names I have a grudge against so as to hunt them down and kill them in other drop matches) so he is number one on my list of people to whom I am going to kill, if he is on my team again or the enemy team next I see him.

(If we were allowed expletitives on the forums, my post would be full of them xD)

An assault that is hiding behind a medium

[Spungie]

In my Hunchback 4G on river city night. Assaults spawn in upper city, so the rest of my team obviously decide to jump into the water and play around near the fort. I look on in anguish as the assaults are picked off by long range fire as they try to catch up... I could see the fear in their cockpits. HELP US SPUNGIE! I couldn't do anything.

At the end off the match the company leader rants about how we lost because the assaults DIDN'T KEEP UP. ARE YOU SERIOUS?

hahaha, i sometimes tell people that i'm adding them to my team kill list but i do it only to tease them a bit, it's funny that somebody actually does it

Steam.
How I hate it.
Bought Pillars of Eternity on disk (or so I thought) and was prepping today to step back in time and nerd it up..however...it seems buying a game on disk these days means the game isn't actually on the disk at all. So people like me with my uber 1mb/s connection have to spend a full day downloading some they bought a physical copy to avoid doing....

What is wrong with publishers today? The majority of people DO NOT have fast connections....

Anyone else waiting for the map overhauls? That is my last and final straw for PGI.

I'm afraid with the bigger maps incoming (and perhaps NOT properly designed again) this powercreeping, longrange or how you name it crap will stay and bigger maps are not changes the gameplay as it should.

so i patch and play, and something is just not right. can't put my finger on it. read the patch notes twice. still can't get it but i am playing really bad.

so i watch some cockpit vids and it dawns on me my FOV is wrong. yep right in the patch note a "new FOV slider" look in my user.cfg find my setting. find the slider and wala i am back to my old mediocre self.

it is the little things...

[mad kat]

Fix the hit reg and fix the bloody spider......im sick of alpha'ing a light mech whos stupid enough to stand still in the head with TWO 40 point alphas only for him to shoot back with 3mpl kill me and run off!


Oh and for the love of god stop using a lighter mech than you as a friggin meat shield and shooting him in the back as you try to steal his kill.

I keep saying it, make every weapon in an alpha subject to randomization a la cone of fire, you solve the following serious flaws in the game:

Long range meta instagimpers
End LRM near uselessness
Normalize the effectivness of PPFLD
Expose Aimbots's steady beam shooting
Hurt Poptarts and snap shooters
Reduce FPS gameplay increasing simulator play
Increase TTK
Give Targeting computers a real reason to exist
Close the effective range of combat
Make the gameplay mirror TT more
Add some much needed instability, randomness and chaos

What's not to love?
