Can't get my new signature to save due to a HTTP 500 error despite several tries and different methods. It makes me a sad panda.

Also, Two new Hero Mechs (yay) but no fluff/lore write up about them? (boo). PGI I WANT nay NEED the immersion to go up to my eyeballs when I play MechWarrior, and for that you gotta gimme something, ANYTHING.

A "hero" Mech, by (my) definition is one piloted by a hero. Someone who customized their Mech's loadout and paint job to suit their piloting style and personal flair. Why does "Top Dog" have 9 laser hardpoints? Why is "Quarantine" painted acid green with bio-hazard symbols? INTEREST ME. IMMERSE ME. MAKE ME CARE. Please.

In fact here: Top Dog and Quarantine that took me an hour to write up both. No excuse PGI.

Top Dog is for those that want get their bearings ready for BL-KNT

Quarantine will be pretty good for poptarting if it has enough crit slots in that arm. Still AC5 + ER PPC now will be a bit more viable in that arm than a gauss if there are too little crit slots for gauss + er ppc.

That is because either your sig is too big in size in dimensions.

we need hypno frog

If hypno frog can fix this-go get him!
Because something needs to be done. More players doesn't mean better game or gameplay. Take a look a WoT for a prime example.

Played that game for an extremely short while. I think I hit tier 4 tanks, and stopped. WarThunder did tanks significantly better, and allowed me to free up space on my hard drive by uninstalling WoT.

Playerbase.
I started snapping at people in voip today, not proud of it but I reached critical mass with today's pugs. Had three idiots today all go off chasing a locust-which they could not hit or catch. Meanwhile the last three enemy were murdering one of our team mates. I scream at them in voip to turn around and leave it, that we were about to get rushed...they were more concerned that I was:
A:British (that was funny apparently)
B: I was a sassy Brit
C: I wasn't being super nice and flattering towards them.

What they were not concerned with:
A: They were being massively stupid.
B:Doing exactly what the locust wanted them to do.
C:Their team mate getting ganked
D:Losing due to their stupidity.

In the end I managed to solo the last 4 enemy and win the game. these idiots started the gg spamming......playing MWO should not feel like work, should it? I'll say it again solo Q has bred some very, VERY bad players and worse of all the SOLO RAMBO mindset. How are people ever going to improve if they are left to their own efforts? By accident?
And if they don't care, why are they playing? Why waste your time doing something you don't care about? The time you spend playing this game you can't get back, it's gone so why waste it?

My game now crashes every third match. I found that on some maps I'm getting over 200 fps on low settings at times, and this causes my video card to overheat and blue screen windows. Adjusted settings to ensure that doesn't happen and now I just randomly crash to desktop and get an fread error afterwards. Sweet.
.....

.....

.....

So....I've got bad RAM. It took me two weeks, a clean windows install, and a ridiculous amount of temp monitoring before I thought to check the RAM. I am ashamed.

It should be noted, however, that 200+ fps still makes my vid card ridiculously hot. Since I've changed the video settings it only gets that high in the drop screen. It would be nice if they limited the frame rate to 60 there like they do in the mech lab.

Does that work at a higher frame rate? Turning on vsync limits it to 60, but it seems to get jerky at times even though the frame rate never seems to drop more than 2-3 fps that way. Doesn't matter at this point anyway I guess, as I'm stuck waiting for new RAM.

Modern mmo gamer wants:
A massively multiplayer online game where they can ignore all the other players, never talking or playing with and do everything solo all the time then crying when others don't do that.
Game dev plz fix nao.

Just what in any god you care to think of's name is wrong with these people? Do they conduct their real life like that? I wonder if they behave like that at work, or in bar or maybe in a class or sport?
Makes me shudder to be honest.

I just had a 4 kill 5 assist round in my not quite fully basiced locust 3V. . . and, all of my screenshots are trapped in a folder on my computer that Windows 8 will not let me open, even though I am the owner and the only user of the computer. I have even googled fixes for this and did what was suggested. . . and no. . . no screenshots for you!


Edit:

Fixed it - all you have to do is whine and the answer will come to you!

Daily whine.....theyve managed to royally **** up all of the mechs in the latest visual patch except for the cent. They have also made quite possibly the worst map in game for fps ten times worse and the expense of ooh pretty (which it is).

Getting really fed up of pgi catering exclusively to the cash cows repetitive cash grabs and gearing the fame to the serious commited gamers who have high end rigs.

Think its time to demand a refund and quit after three years.


Or just upgrade your rig. If your machine is 4 years old, it should be running the game decently. My laptop is a potato. I know that. It's like 7 years old. That's not PGI's fault. I need to upgrade the rig.

There are listed machines on these forums that are available for under 500$ dollars. I'm saving up to upgrade my rig.

By all accounts, PGI has no obligations to cater to machines that are THAT old.

Why!?!

Oh, why is there NO cbill reward for destroying the new river city statues?!?!?!
Something to compensate for the number of times I have been stuck on them ...

Sigh, at least I can get revenge by stomping them into the ground every time I'm on the map.
But I need to remember to focus on mechs first ... "haha they are destroyed! oh look, I'm cored ... who did that? oops ..."
