That would explain why you keep grabbing me! ( )

Another whine: someone gave my profile a low rating.

I rectified this injustice!

I could whine about my PC being down, but instead I'll whine about my MWO withdrawal as a result of said PC being down.

i discovered "Rippin' Good Cookies" Peppermint Twist Tops.

Who is the fiend who decided to put peppermint candy frosting in an oreo style cookie???

My waist wants answers and retribution... NOW!

And how do I get a pallet of these things shipped to my house?

I either just got reported for taking no damage from lrms under 180m or for telling a guy he was lucky cause time ran out. or maybe he was just sore that Dejah almost put up 1300 dmg

This is my whine and it will be done away with tomorrow.

The 2 disconnects disconnected while they were just chasing the last spider for 12 minutes.

i showed up late on ts last night and group was already 4man'ed.
so we sync dropped 6 times.
5 of those 6 games in opposing teams.
my team won 4 out of 5 games agains my friends and i felt bad about it.
still dont have a clue what that freaking stickman standing on his head icon stands for...

oh and the game that we dropped together one got disco at the begining and i got gaused with impresive 24 dmg done.

ps: and my profile have one start apparently.
and i dont have a clue what that means.
i suck at forum'ing as much as in piloting or what?

That's right, very few puggers watch anyone else's back, communicate or even think beyond themselves. They play alone and that is the extent of where their loyalties lie for most.

There are a solid minority of Puggers who do believe in teamwork, communicate, cover for other players that they aren't on teamspeak with. But they are rare and wonderful gems. Often but not always, they're just a lone member of a unit having fun by him/herself, but not always.

Cherish those puggers that do act as a unit with a bad radio, but do not expect them.

Amen to that brother.

I've played about 12 games in four days, was kinda avoiding playing due to my run of luck with teams lately.....
Yesterday I manned up a bit and stuck at it. 3 good games (2 wins and one loss) and 6, utterly disgracefully bad games...
*sigh*

Anyhoo! Whine for today! Got the good old "damage stops working" situation yesterday. Ended up me in a crippled Hunchie vs a near fresh wolverine, we were last few left so I took the fight-expecting to lose but determined to give the guy a nasty fight in the process....which is what he got.
Consistently out manouvered him, hammering his mech with my two remaining lasers:P Got both front and rear CT down to orange armour level and though, "I might just win this" as I was managing to tank his shots fairly well then it happened...paper doll flashing yet he was taking no more damage. 11 hits with a medium laser, on target did NOTHING at all.
It left a sour taste in my mouth after a good dogfight. Why does this keep happening to me? It's always when opponent loses all their armour or gets to orange armour....I believe Kjudoon witnessed it once when I was shooting that fellla in the back with twin ac2s awhile ago....I remember him saying he saw the paperdoll flash yet 0 damage.

It always happens when I am about to deliver the killshot-except it just won't register lol. I've had multiple peeps spectating me comment on that fact too, many times peeps have said that the enemy took no damage so it can't be me just mis-seeing the situation.
Packet loss maybe? *shrugs*

[Kjudoon]

I remember that match Kamiko. It was brutal, but at least now it's not happening as much thanks to server side hit detection. Now I get more 'host rewind' deaths where I see the damage register up to 5 seconds later. Very frustrating when it's you getting killed.

[Jon Gotham]

What you just mentioned happens to me MORE now lol:(

Come to the LuRM side. We have bacon.

Just learned you cannot choose mode in Public queue mode dropping solo. I'm out till they fix that. It better be today.

I am very seriously considering doing the same. This is the worst patch I have ever seen and I was around to see ghost heat go in.

I have 1 lrm launcher on every mech I use now. they are so ultra viable it's stupid to not have at least one. My ultimate mech at the minute is a KTO-18 with lrm20+A and 4 streaks. Plus a couple of token medium lasers, it's a murder wagon.

It's also cheap.


Oh and logged in to find PGI have screwed up the patch and that the Heavy and Assault boaters get another free pass to at least one more night of stacking the odds in their favour.
Reponse to that? Logged off.

I will say this, LRMs are good only in pugs. 12mans, unless significant changes in hit detection modify this, will not have much to worry about the weapon. Cover is still 98% effective. Yes occasionally, you can't get cover tall or wide enough.

At least PGI's working on the hotfix re- public queues and mode selection. I'll wait and play other games till MWO gets it back together.

Kjudoon here is something you might want to read. http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__3334410
Supposedly they are putting mode selection back in,but it is not in now due to bugs.

Yep. Learned of the hotpatch an hour or two ago. Makes me feel much better. I have faith they will do a passable/acceptable repair. Needless to say though, I have had a bad day and this does me no good for the moment when I wanted to take my rage out on some stompy mechs with friends.

Today i see people on my team play as badly as i do, and sometimes worse! That scares me.
