I just watched a PUG on Alpine deliberately get themselves killed, because the idea of doing something other than ridge humping was more offensive than dying.

Thought I'd share this little gem:


After a little bit of basic math I came to a weightdifference of 45 tons in the winning teams favor (905 tons vs 860), so it was more or less fine.
Still this match was completely horribly. Took down the first atlas. Ok. Took down the second one. Turn around. The next 3 Atlas come around different buildings and somewhere deep within you know that this is your downfall.

At first I was sceptical because of 3/3/3/3 but now its on my most wanted list...

At least you don't embarrass yourself everytime you come across him in game. He has witnessed my derpiest moments to date. If he would have fraps'd me-he'd have a whole YT channel out of it....

lead singer of a band you can't have heard of, charted now and then, just really another bland soft rock band but because they used an inverted pentacle in the bands logo got lumped in with the goth scene.

Woe, wait there. Cathy is likening Fields of the Nephilim to REO Speedwagon?? /whine!

Oh, back to mwo. There's those times where I see 4 friendly DDCs + various assaults on the ready screen and think this should be an easy skirmish. Then find out 3 minutes later that it will indeed be a roll, but in the opposite direction. (3/3/3/3 should balance armor vs dps requirements of teams, but I wonder if it'll exacerbate the matchmaker's Elo problem.)

The Jenner pilot that cussed me out and told me that I only killed him because my Commando was over-powered.

It's always an excuse. The other pilot can never simply be better than you.

Srms.
Or rather lack of them. They must be ghost srms as they don't seem to register.
Hit a spider earlier, two srm18 alphas, sub 20m in the CT, all missiles hit. He took virtually no damage. hit him a further 6 times with single srm6 and 4 times with twin srm 6.
Damage done? 48.
Met him next game, same again, he took a further 2 alphas with virtually no damage. Allowed him to survive both meetings-I had the upper hand both times yet just couldn't score any damage on him.

GG on srm "fix"

Whine?
Lrm spamming teams that also spam the cack out of arty+airstrikes just to get that win.
Result?
My team camps fearing the lrms+noobstrikes.
Enemy team is then afraid to advance because we are turtling, because only half thier team is direct fire. None of them want to be lrm sacrifices.
Games turns into giant, boring stand off.

Whine?
Meta troll lances.
Met one Davion lance earlier x3 poptart catapracts+DDC ecm trollsupport. guess what weapons? YEPS!!! you guessed right PPC+AC5 combo!!!!

On the plus side today, I found a wierd build I really like on the ONI-1K....x4 large pulse lasers. Nice alpha and decent sustained damage too...once arms have gone=useless but the 5 games I had went very well.

*shrugs* but boy did I have some very unenjoyable games tonight-evens the ones I won. So much camping, cowering and hiding....

I believe you meant to say you were being prevented from playing the game.

I know you can play.

Don't invite such mockery upon yourself, man.

Gameplay has kinda sucked the last few days. Dunno why, but lots of losses and no fun victories. It's a plot I tell you!

I dunno, some of my bad gameplay games lately have been because of lrm fest games....in those specific games that weapon caused some truly miserable gameplay.
I was even the lrm user a few times.

Seems like PUG game is getting more and more cowards ... had more than 15min/match today. People keep swinging around, try not to contact the enemy. It's a good tactic for premade, but PUG , that's worst !!!

[NightinCrow]

OMG, i though those ppl doesnt play Merry Go Round in their childhood

So very many of them today. You call them on spamming them, their response? "U use them too noob."
Yes, that'll solve pay for damage won't it?

Don't they see what they are doing? Or might do to the playerbase.....?

[Kjudoon]

Sick of this game's elo system demanding it must be 'challenging'. I don't play this game to be challenged. I play this game to win 100% of the time. Losses are stupid abberations when reality won't cooperate with my reasonable demands for absolute obedience. Life is too challenging as is. I play games to have crap go right for me and give me a break from things going wrong.

arr rar rar.






I need my Elo so it goes back to where it was 4 months ago and never goes up again.

[Cactus In The Rear]

I go into the tunnel and an enemy assault lance obliterates me. I type to the team "assault lance in tunnel". One of my lancemates (who im on TS with) says "there are a bunch of enemies in the tunnel. I'm dead". Shortly after my other lancemate says the same thing.

Next time something like that happens im going to say this:

Facehuggers, but your team mate facehuggers who wedge you between themselves and the enemy mech your brawling with, doing serious damage to you in the process. Got legged twice this afternoon by team mates doing this
