I come back from holiday in the french alps and fire up mwo to see whats changed check the patch notes, elo is dead. Interesting drop into some games in non meta mechs and swiftly do decent damage get very few kills (got kill stolen a lot) and get shouted at by a direwolf that my dakka jack was in his way despite me frontloading a whole lance. He'd then lumber forward let off his burst of dakka i'd wait then repeat pushing forward with him following i died but did more damage than him but no kills but a higher score with two ac2's and four mediums and pushed their lance back. He whinged he got denied his third kill.

So i said sarcastically its not unusual for a direwolf to hide at the back while a light medium tanks for the team......

((Shameless plug incoming)) Finally finished a decent sized post on an ongoing fan fiction I'm writing ((Shameless plug end))

Did it all on my cellphone cause I'm still computer-less. My thumbs are killing me. Why? Because:

I actually haven't dropped once in a non JJ equipped mech since the latest patch, since that map is so heavily in rotation. I'm kind of dreading what it'd be like without JJ.

Edit: Generally a great map though.

I haven't had issues with Forest Colony, then again, I only dropped on it a couple of times on it, and both were in non-JJ mechs.

[bad arcade kitty]

why i dislike skirmish

a ridiculous game actually, i lost 2 arms with 2 tons of my last ammo... and our ebj ran out of ammo too... enemy had a nova left, we both rammed it a bit and then fled and hid while the nova searched us for almost 6 minutes... eventually we won

honestly i dunno how ebj even fled from nova... but he did! i'm close to him because i saw nova again in 800 meters near the end of the game and fled from it

Stuck house sitting at my parent's place. No computer, no decent internet connection. Food supply running low. Morale flagging. 4 days without destroying a single Mech. Send help.

The calvary arrives!

Especially with a Assault or non JJ mech.. Design maps with Atlas in mind. Not JJ heavies.

grrr, this new mm will definitely force me to switch to wubcrow eventually
i run out of ammo regularly now....

just had a game, my last salvo killed my third mech, their scr (which survived a lot of punishment... literally a lot), i did 1005 damage (of 1400 potential, but it's forest colony and a fair bit of shots was lost in the wood), left alone vs 2 mechs and a dcer, was chased by their adder and had to go out of bounds

melee where and when don't propose me 1 med laser, i would have run out of ammo earlier and... can you fight much with 1 med laser? i cannot

I am back to burn off premium time for a while before fading away again. May as well use it before it is rendered moot.

If this turns out to be going on Full Disclosure i am sure as helll to instant quit this game.

As it stands now i don't see it happening. Lucky me i guess.

This is why you don't let the Community vote.

Are these guys into such a winnings contest that they are voting for the most stupid option available?

What's even the pro's of showing your tier? I don't see any. It's just for matching your third arm to a certain length and bragg about it how it looks like.

"Yeah its a shower, not a grower."

Whatever.

It's obviously that some people are clearly dumb enough voting for full disclosure.

Its like having the scale voting poll we had not too long ago. Too many people leading tunnelvision or either can't speak English at all or simply don't care.

Just to be clear: i am not afraid of my stats, tier or anything that bullcrap. I'm afraid whole team mentality / spirit will die. E-peening contents, third arm measuring and toxic trashtalking 'I'm Tier X, you not. I know better then you'.

But most of the Community seems to be forgetting this.

while i would like to know my rating, i am with you guys, the whole world does not need to know everybody's rating.
i have noticed since the new system is in place i am getting much better team mates. people are actually using the voip for team work. my win/loss record was not the best, but my stats were not to bad. the game is evolving, for good or bad? only time will tell.

as a side note i like how the game now displays team damage.

thank god i know my tier already.
with the way this gets rated i wont be higher than tier3 ever.
camping gets benefitted, throwing your mechs into hard pushes to break lines will make you eat sh1t.

they need to move it to the end of match screen so all can see it though.... and not just in your private score tab

It would appear I am in tier 5... It also appears I am not good enough to hold my own in tier 5...I have not had a fun game since the last patch. My team either spreads all over and dies terribly or it is a stomp the other direction, but even then I have not been doing well. It also doesn't help that every other match is in Forest colony where I have to make due with 9-12 fps I just feel sad. I seriously just had a round on conquest where the heavy lance turned around and walked away from the cap points to take a scenic tour of one of those long narrow gullies on the edge of the map...the whole lance and like 3 of the meds...the enemy had three points capped before we got the first one.

So this drop i was just in... Wow.

Enemy MLX is stuck in a tree glitching out. 4/5 guys on my team decide to ignore looking for the enemy and just stand around this MLX trying to kill it. Enemy team walk up behind them and just stand there killing one after the other. None of them turn around and fire back. Then the MLX dies and the last guy alive decides to turn around.

Absolutely ******** and beyond surreal. Possibly the most stupid play i have seen in a while.

Yea, I've had that happen on a few of my teams. when i notice it while in my HBK-4p, i just alpha a few times into
the mech's CT to try & get people back to shooting other red doritos

I suspect that even then, some players still won't care.
After all, what can you really do about it?

*aside from going strictly 12-player and using more direct social pressures~

PSR started out giving good matches...but my last two..my god... 2/3 of the team running off chasing squirrels....that they didn't even kill...

Hit detection was working well last night. On hpg i was under one of the ramps in my deaths knell and spotted a stalker in one of the culverts he hadnt seen me so i proceeded to destroy his right leg. By that point he found me so i played peekaboo desperately trying to remove his other leg at great expense to my armour (ahem) anyway no sooner had i got the second component destroyed measage he killed me......wha not possible he should be dead. So i asked in all chat and he said his leg was bright red internals but torso destroyed warning had played but it couldn't of been as he was still alive.........errrrr.
