You didn't miss much, just average damage output dropping about 80%.

Oh, and WELCOME BACK!

An evening of trying to get the other small premades on my team to talk to my premade, and failing. Group queue is NOT fun PGI.

My whine for the day titled "The day I sucked the most"

Been working on mastering my Jenner and Warhawk chassis~ just picked up the Jenner D and kit it out. I figure "what the hell, I'll throw a NARC on it and raise some hell." First match at Crimson Straits, I sneak up behind the enemy team and NARC a jester that's paying way too much attention to the upper pad. Clearly, I'm not paying enough attention either because next thing I know I'm immediately legged and then blown to bits by two Assaults that popped out of the tunnel entrance behind me. *facepalm*

Two more games like this and I'm like "Today is clearly not a Jenner day for me. I'll just continue working on eliting my Warhawk. That will cheer me up"

Well, this one is even better. I hop into my Prime (which I'm running almost stock~ blew all my fluid cash on kitting out the Jenner) and drop into Canyon. I'm up on a hill and whadya know? A Spider 5K comes bombing around the corner. I blast him and leg him immediately (feeling great at this point after what happened because of my stupidity in the Jenner earlier).....and shutdown from overheating. I'm helpless as I watch him limp his was towards a drop off. I cool off enough and start back up. In my panic that he might get away I let loose another PPC volley, which misses.... and I overheat again... Now he is dangerously close to the edge. I start back up, growling at my monitor that "got that little f-er NOW," aim, shoot, and MISS AGAIN as he drops over the edge... So now I'm starting to rage. I'm like "There's NO WAY he can escape me." My pride is on the line so I go charging off the cliff after him...

... only to see him jumpjetting back up as I'm going down. I turn, fire.... and miss again. Overheat to boot. Now I'm practically spitting all over the place. My cat is long gone from her usual spot in the crook of my arm (she likes watching MWO; blessed creature lol) due to my irrational agitation at THIS F-ING SPIDER THAT WON'T DIE.

Anyway, now I come back online, see him poke his head over the top to look at me. I shoot, miss (***sigh****) and find some small comfort in the fact that a teammate comes along and one-shots him from behind at that exact moment.

Took me a minute to find my way to a place I could get back up to the wall. The game finishes 12-11 with an awesome showdown at C3. Then I quit for the day, acknowledging that today is just a day of suck for me, and I'm better off drinking beers on the back porch.

Play for four hours or so, and then drop to mech lab for several hours. **** me running!!!!!!

Trying to figure out how missed the fact that the servers were apparently melting when I posted this. Also trying to figure out how I figured I had only been playing for 4 hours before I started to drop to mech lab. More like 10-12 hours of good times before things started going sideways. A beer or two too many I think.

[Kjudoon]

If you want to win in the group queue, you must be in the 7 man or larger. Also, why am I now seeing 4-6 ECM mechs per team? Do we really have so many people who need crutches to play?

[Jon Gotham]

Ran into a Davion group like that tonight. They each had an ecm attached to each lance. Not much we could do, a third of our team was lrm mechs. I ended up switching to ecm mech myself, to run counter.
Something I was discussing earlier on-now you can't be entirely casual if you group. You have to be at least semi serious if you want to win. It's going to cause a shift in gameplay style again I think, not for the better.

I'm getting more comfortable with it-but not enjoying playing as much to be honest. I thought it'd produce better quality games, but so far I've run into competitive outfits a few times too often. It's going to shape how we play-sure our games may raise because of it, but there will be less taking the fun mech out when the best mech is sat next to it. I've noticed the larger premades starting to field specific compositions already-it seems to be slowly turning into casual tourney style gaming....

One merc unit even had the sheer gall to spam their recruitment spiel at us after they stomped us-how arrogant is that?

[Kjudoon]

I know how you feel Kamiko. The whole game is rebalancing and hopefully in a month it will stabilize and we can enjoy it again... but I'm worried about whether it will in a place we want to play.

[ManaValkyrie]

Hey Kamiko, at least we had a few good drops in there in between without forcing people into specific chassis and what not. But as I said to you, sometimes you will run into a build group with stuff that messes you over. And the game after that ecm mess, we ran into similar configurations but won.

[Podex]

It's nice to pull off an unexpected win, but I'm not really seeing that anymore. It's either get stomped, or get stomped. This is going to cause a lot of people to quit.

It's also nice to surprise opponents, my unit the first time had 6-7 of us in it with the rest formed from another team, we ran into a 10 man wolf unit. They charged over the pass in Crimson Strait like the wrath of god, we actually dragged the game to 11-12 in the end. Second time was earlier this evening, ran into a 10 man CGB unit although this time we were in a 10 man too. However they came loaded for 'bear' and tried to death ball into our group. Fortunately we rallied up and counter ran them despite being about 150 tons lighter on average. In the end we lost 9-12, however, it didnt turn out the way they expected.

I know you don't:) That's what I like about the 3rd. Doesn't mean a lot of the others won't turn tryhard though. Last night was a pretty good run and we only got stomped once I believe.
I'm just a little concerned the game is starting to shift in a certain direction-but then we'll see over time.

Perhaps you should kill him first.

The whole forum is daily whine, why do you need this topic?

[Vassago Rain]

I got matched up with Proton, Wispsy, and another lord today. They were in oldschool brawler robots, and didn't manage any brawling before we lost 3-12.
