Not a whine for a change but a laugh fitted an xl 340 to my cn9-d on hpg a few lights came to harass our team. I chased them all away. One little artic cheetah guy couldn't figure out why a centurion was keeping up with him at 130kph firing a massively quirked shotgun, machinegun and two spl at him. Poor bugger couldn't escape. Then a stormcrow tried to save him. He quickly shut down and discovered what a rapid fire shotgun can do at point blank range. Muhahaha.

I just uninstalled. I think I've had enough for awhile, got 50+ days of prem on two accounts and I don't care.
The players have ruined this game for me sadly, tonight was last straw-too many ignorant anti social timid players for my liking.
Never have I seen a playerbase so anti group, anti effort as this one.

On the plus side I'll save some money-been nice whining with you all o7

Take a break untill rebalance comes out.

I was getting Lurmed by an LRM Atlas from 90m away the other day and I thought: "This would not make Sarlic happy at all."

You would be suprised what i got. I think a full LRM Atlas is a shame think about the S with 4x LRM5 for example. Or a LRM as main weappnary instead of lasers and mix match.

I got a K with one rack 15 and a S with 3x SRM4 and 1 LRM paired with long range lasers. That is something i like

But i don't mind a singular LRM10/15/20 as a long distance weapon paired with a laser for a example. LRMs are currently weak. Hoping to see more. Saved my butt a few times.

This whine is more of a positive whine.

Has something changed in how I play? Somehow, whereas before 100k is my average, now it's becoming 150k. Not sure whether it's because of better HSR, or from better positioning and play (not to mention aim), but it's honestly catching me by surprise, like I've hit a breakthrough. Weird, considering that it coincided with the recent event and a comeback from a few weeks of hiatus.

EDIT: Yes, that does mean that I'm often carrying hard now, humility be damned. Teammates are almost always good, though; my luck must be intense, or my cries of "Take 2/3 then fight together" and "Stick together" must've worked...

Now something negative: ironically, the supreme metalord Timber Wolf (Gauss, 2 LPL, 1 ERML) has the worst results out of all my current mechs... Must be spoiled by IS lasers and quirks, and gotten rusty with Gauss and Clan lasers (durations! D: ) Must be my FRR home calling me out for falling for the invaders' lure of CLAMTECH OP...

And one more whine: Going away again, so no OCEANIC SERVER FIELD TEST awwww frick.... For any APAC player here, tell me about how the new servers felt when the patch hits, okay?

EDIT: 100th post, no big deal. On my way to becoming a forum-warrior now...

i think the 6 mlns which they gave for free this event counted as your game earnings and affected the stats, at least it seems the case for me

Actually, that figure was made after premium time ended. Back when I still had it, 170k was the norm, 200k was pretty good even had one that went 320k roughly. Oh, and as for stats...nope, been playing for so long that it barely budged. Went from 99k to maybe 101k (correction: almost 102k, exact number: 101,878.54) mean.

But yeah, premium probably did a lot of the work...just surprised to see my apparent skill has grown in the interim. That, or my heavy and assault Elo is borked and stuck in seal-clubbing mode... I'm probably on the evil side of the Elo hell for a lot of players, heh.

(One must wonder how much consistently good play does it take to make your name infamous among puggers.)

EDIT: Also, o7 bad arcade kitty, I recall a Conquest match on Forest Colony where I had you, Product9, and Bush Hopper on the same team ("MAGIC CARDS!" and "You on a Stalker?" respectively). Twas fun, though I was ripped apart early and forced to hillpoke cowardly for the rest of the match.

My ELO is almost down in the cellar. But weirdly enough Im still hooked on MWO (though playing Skyrim, SC II for variation) even after several months of stuggle, sure can buy stuff like convert xp into gxp with real money from the mechs I do really well in. But still thats costly and the grind is still real for at least eliting your mechs.

I think PGI did a good job there, its certainly not Pay 2 Win, far from it. I think MWO is good fun, sure loss streaks happen. But every once in awhile theres some real funny and epic victories. And well, MatchMaking is kinda odd and messy at the moment, but seems its getting there, so hang on.

One thing though the CW, well the whole game dierly needs serious tweaks for the upcooming Steam release. PGI NEEEEDS to get new players from Steam etc on the right track from the very start with great tutorials for PUG and CW play. Its seems PGI are on the right track, which are crucial or else its spelling doom for MWO, maybe even future BattleTech titles which would be really sad, to many FPS out there..

Playing MWO is hard, it has a very steep learning curve indeed. But DONT give up, keep on trying and take breaks from the game if you get some aweful loss streaks. It happens

Just had a game on river city. My team pushed into the lower city buildings then stopped. The enemy team were also in the buildings slightly further back and were mostly lrm mechs. My team sat back cowering. I mean wtf goes through these peoples minds? In amongst the buildings is perfect conditions for closing with the lrm boats and rekin them.

Players are so infuriatingly timid ><

HATE it when teams won't close on LRM boats...the absolute worst thing you can do is stay at distance, but thats exactly what most players do when faced with LRMs...

I've been killed, legged, and tk'd so many times due to this collision system and friendlies thinking they can just run through me. Do people even read the patch notes or up on these things at all?!

They do not, we forum warriors are a small, but rather noisy, bunch. I think I was actually on the new river city with some people that didn't realize it was different right after the patch.

Well that's me done with the game till PGI replace Elo and the MM with something that actually works. AFK farmers, *******, campers, 3rd person trials in my games, and assaults that follow the lights while screaming for the lights to stop. This is what all todays drops consisted of. I am done with this idiocy.

so, does this mean you'll stop killing me?


also, yeah, its terrible...most players don't give a crap who they have to shoot through to try to get that precious kill...if a friendly happens to be in the way, so be it..just shoot through their backs
