wouldn;t have been so bad if they had kept to the "4 man groups or less will have the option of going to the solo or group queue with a matching group for the other team if they went to the solo queue" option that was floated around briefly in the early days of group separating ideas.


4 man groups are already too many for the solo queue.
i just have to remember yesterday's games with my 3 buds.
the 4 of us always outplayed any other team.
2-man groups would be fine in solo queue tho.

I'm getting so sick of cowardly teams.
Seriously, it's starting to hurt my brain.

yeah personally i think groups of 2 or 3 would be fine in solo queue, enough to mess around with a friend or two and not have to be all serious about things becaue you're in super-competitiveness-land where only the meta survive. at 4 you've got yourself a full lance so take the plunge.

i don;t really group anymore since they made the changes since i'm too into using "inferior" mechs with "inferior" builds even though i do better in them than i do in the preferred mech/builds and don;t want to have to listen to everyone complain about it in groupland.

Blame the sadness of the peek and shoot types from WoT, the clueless one shot wonders that, try to shoot you by crest humping, providing you with a loverly head to shoot at, before their weapons are even able to shoot, which they left go at the rock in front of them, in panic, then reverse to get another lot in the face because your weapons have recycled.

There should be links from the CW map to info on Sarna, or at least some small pop-up where if you hover over an important planet mark (landmark) it gives you basic info and the reward for successfully capturing like for Blantleff, just as an example.

If the mechanics can match the detail, CW just might be something good.

When top competitive teams need to join forces with other top-competitive teams to fill their 12 man for PUG stomping.

3 matches in a row 420 Vs. House of Lords, -BS-, and uhh... some other group.

6 of us, and 6 pugs Vs. their 12 man (with no less then 9 mechs using gauss)

In all 3 matches, none of our 6 pugs broke 200 damage. Very few broke 100.

Lords can't hold their own?

What on earth is wrong with people at the moment got blocked on a ridge in my badly damaged wolverine because some brain dead morons behind want to kill steal. And end up tk me by alpha'ing me in the back. Then i had a few matches tonight which very much seemed like my teammates had forgotton to put armour on their mech then behave like theyre driving the sodding bismark and try to rambo it and low and behold our team crumbles in under three minutes.

Really really need to start using teamspeak more as carrying hard can get kinda frustrating.
Rant over.

If you like waiting 2 hours between matches while your T.S. group talks garbage and discusses which caliber of pistol is best to open rations with... i stopped using teamspeak because they guys that use it typically never, ever read team chat and/or never look at their radar, mindless and boring.
Reminds me i want to kill teamspeak users with a flamerboating hunchie or something. Darned gasbags.
(todays rant is brought to you by the grudge against teamspeak users.)

Completely newb team, guy complaining about newb team. Complainer only does 181 damage. I'm the only one to get a kill out of the whole team, which gets curb stomped in all under 2 minutes. ffs

It some times turns out like that. The guy that did worst needs to make himself feel better about his personal failure by blaming it on his team.

Hey Gecko,
I am pretty sure I was in those matches, remember your name on the other side. I know a buddy of mine and I decided to take part in this Church of skill thing the lords have been offering and ended up with 1 lord leading the training exercise, myself and my buddy, and 3 or 4 black spikes I think it was. The group ranged from 5-8 players during the day, the rest were other smaller groups, or "PUGs" as you call them.

Lords can easily drop as a twelve with only HoL members. However Lords and Black Spikes are allies and have been dropping together for quite some time now. Sometimes though it's the matchmaker that puts a Black Spikes group and a Lords group on the same team.

Trust me though. Most of the time small Black Spikes or Lords groups win matches so yes we can hold our own.

Sometimes it IS the team though. Yesterday I dropped solo on canyon network and my team all abandoned the high ground and jumped into the canyons. I ask "Why did you all give up the high ground?" and get this as a response "We were getting shot at". I don't even...

Yeah, had those rough patches as well when out solo. Not much you can do when the MM RNG decides your W/L ration needs some working on. ;)
