too bad the sun doesn't come up for 6 months up there

That would be above the Arctic Circle - almost 400 miles away.

Edit: you could fit most states between me and that point!
(though some of them you might need to turn at interesting angles - such as Texas)

Some LRM are an Atlas's best friend at times - but those builds.... I have no clue why they are so popular lately

Sometimes i think people are deliberately trying to make our team lose...

last night in a match with my max speed 48kph LRM stalker in River City. Tryng to keep up with the group who are all going 75+kph.

Enemy is flanking and coming up our rear with me all alone. Ask for help.. none comes. I die. Vent to my team mates about lack of support and I am informed of the following.... *drum roll*

I apparently was going solo and it was all my fault!


So the new Meta is if you are in a slow mech and can't keep up you are "going solo" and need to fend for yourself.

To be honest I think the Shortbus tour group was on the map at that time.

Been seeing this a fair amount recently. I've called people on it a couple of times and the responses have been astounding. Some people really would rather lose by doing nothing than win by doing something different.

I think we are describing the same match...

[Neutron IX]

I realized today that since I never see a Pomp-Snart I'm definitely not in the high ELO range, and decided that whatever my bracket is, it seems to be entirely defined by Machine Guns, LRMs, and an apparently inherent need to go it alone, no matter the cost.

I think I'll name my bracket. Rambo. It's the Rambo Bracket.

*Edited because "Pomp-Snart" has a fancier ring to it...

Really expected them not to make a newbie mistake like this when we had a 4 man of competitive players. The next time i see a 4 man of competitive players i will just assume they are noobs and not expect them to know basic gameplay.

Alpine peaks
Lance starts walking forward
Norton opens a window over the top of the MWO client and my Mech stops
Click on the Norton screen to make it dissappear
Click on client to get back into game
Mech launches and alpha strike when i click back in
Team-kills a friendly Jagermech who walked ahead of me

Epic Fail....

And yet.... not something we can hold against you.

[jper4]

apparently in evey other match i played yesterday i was part of the "worst team of fkn noobs ever". must be a hotly contested title for it to be passed among so many teams so quickly. granted there were a lot of stomps where barely half the team broke 100 (granted my locust 1V contributed to that total in several of the cases but what was the victors and jagers excuses?) more than half the time including the declarer of our horribleness- maybe they're just so good at being bad they can pick out bad teams quicker than the rest of us. also that despite knowing how horrible we were that same person couldn;t be bothering offering up their genius tactical plan to lead us to victory.

the ones who actually contribute i'll give a pass to and wonder if the carry harder thread will get a new post soon.

also got called an idiot while trying to stall on canyon in an Arrow when i got caught between gamma and epsi with LRM boats on both sides of me and lights at epsi to chase me down. tried going to epsi to avoid the lrms and ran into the atlas that was also with the lights. i'm not going to outrun the lights spotting for the lrms not to mention the lights so i stay and fight and die. alas my critic failed to offer up his ultimate solution for escaping said situation.

and another on alpine where we start out on gamma's side and i type in that i guess we take and hold the h10 hills (as per usual on this map lately). someone else says "how about not." and offers no alternative. so half the team goes to h10 other half derps around somewhere below while the enemy team mass rushes the hilltop and we die, then they follow for a 12-2ish loss.

but your example...well that just sucks..lol

hence why i play using a user login that is striped of just about everything running in the background, but still once in awhile my copilot windows does something stupid like this.
