Yeah the Victor used to be so legit as a sniper and brawler due to that mobility. So squishy now though versus Clan mechs.

I'm gonna have to tick the EU box again though to get this challenge done fml.

Why do we both end up in squid teams? You and i seems to be the only ones thinking about there.

Are we cursed?

Not all the time. But the euro servers are def full of special.

Ticked euro server again. First drop on it, cheetah runs past my team and they all turn backs to the enemy and start shooting at the cheetah or chasing it while being cored out in the back.

The worst is when you get those guys on your team. The dudes in heavies/assaults that just follow you everywhere when you're running in a light mech.

[loopala]

no not the big clumsy 60 ton plus following a nimble 35 ton or less mech.
well i do that sometimes but in a fast heavy like a 350xl jester. It thinks it is an over sized Jenner....

so i have time for a game or 2, and the mark of death finds me, you know you run into someone you know...
yep i forgot how to play and broke 18 match score in the high game and 1 with zero damage in the low game. got target fixated on a rvn while being cored out from behind by LL of some type

some days the windshield some days the bug....

Haha it's just annoying when you're trying to be sneaky and do hit and runs on flanks but then all of a sudden the whole enemy team is looking at that position. You look at the map and then behind and no wonder cos all of the bigger mechs followed you ><

I had this happen on mining collective the other day. I had a locust and another light and I circled all the way around the map and came up behind their lines. We took out a couple of there mechs before I looked at the score and we are losing. Apparently half our team plodded along behind us, leaving the other half to be mercilessly slaughtered by the bulk of the enemy team. Which of course eventually overtook us and finished us off.

After recently finishing my CW mechbay tour, mostly solo, these regular games are absolutely refreshing! (the low bar has been set. )

As for my whine: I've remapped a lot of keys to be conveniently closer to WASD, but that dang esc-key is there to foil me with accidental nudges during brawls. Anybody know of a way to conveniently remap it cleanly out of the way to the pause/break-key? (searching has given me so many kludgy answers~)

New way to farm assault for event. Rush whole team to enemy base then sit back and shoot the team as they come to you, by the time you capture it you'll have done enough to get 30 points. Literally just had a match that the enemy did that game last less than 2 minutes and most of the enemy got over 30 while our team barely got above 10.

Sounds like open beta.

So i live in England, i play a canadian game on european servers. Hit reg becomes crap, even worse than before. I struggle to break 300 damage and any kills. So i go sod it i was doing alright before. Turn off eu servers play back in the states. All of a sudden one game with 3 kills and 788 damage last man standing and soloing four mechs till my demise and another game with 4 kills and 550+ damage in a bj-1x. Er right.

So to test, go back to eu servers games go crap again.

The irony of this game is unreal.

I just tried 1 match on the European server from Australia, my ping was 370. I was standing behind a Jager in an ember shooting the crap out of his back, he turns a bit to his left and starts shooting wildly, i can see his muzzle flashes but he hasn't turned enough, he needs to turn another 90-100 degrees before I'm in font of his guns..... I'm still shooting him in the back and getting no damage...... then i explode to his quad AC2's....latency is a real *****, killed by someone who has their back to me...


**** it...NA server is a horrible laggy POS today....


EDIT - these clown who thinks having a high latency is an advantage should give this a go, and then tell me how easy the high pingers have it

Nothing quite like getting told by a guy with 50ping "its not lag, its you" when you warp into a tree and get stuck, or that the 16 medium laser hits into the back of that stationary hellbringer tot didnt take its armor off were because " you just cant aim" instead of today's ****** non existent hitreg

******* jackasses

**** it, i give up for the day. When PGI's servers are this ******** even the flaming seismic sensors don't work, and I'm sick of warping into walls and getting stuck on objects so the enemy can ******* to pieces. I wait for the days these guys can get their **** together

[Sarlic]

EU servers had latency issues yesterday. Hope will get fixed soon. See the News section.

I hope not Sore as hell from work yesterday, then have a company golf outing. So if it is worth it, I'm going to miss a lot of prime playing time
