so i have to pay cbills to dump my faction to play for a clan with mechs i have not played in awhile. well i have been meaning to get a better ranking in the GB then point 3. i guess i better dust off the old claner mechs in GB colors. now what was that drop deck i used to do so bad with?...

They are zeroing out contracts very soon, so you might be able to switch without any cost to you.

I am soooooooo sick of people whining about the "nerfs" the the TW and SC. GET OVER IT! ADAPT! IM SICK OF YOUR TEARS!

Ok...think I got my whine out.

That is all.

Their official statement is that they're zeroing out contracts that have less than 3 days left.
So, if anybody is still at >3 days in a few hours, it doesn't get zeroed.

Or maybe they'll accidentally zero everything. Low/high expectations.

They got 150k cbills from me to short my contract... because I have no idea how the queues will balance out... which I guess is sort of whine-worthy.

Okay, fine, let's also take away all the positive quirks from IS mechs, and give -10% to all the previously "superquirked" mechs like the Thunderbolt.

You can't tell me you wouldn't whine at that either.

The ONLY way to describe that statement is "stupid":

The quirks on the IS mechs are helping them keep up with the very strong clan mechs. How do people not understand something as simple as basic balance.

Well,you are not being consistent in that statement,if you do remember,thud was pretty weak before the quirks hit,hence the quirks.And before that Victors and Highlanders got the nerf bat,pretty similar in size to Timber and SCR now.
I remember when i got my Timby and considered a 800 damage game mediocre.

1) I have clan mechs too so your point about IS means nothing too me
2) Most important...this is the DAILY WHINE thread...made for people to come in and complain about stuff. So I did. Not here to have a debate about opinions. Thats my Whine for the day. Its in its proper place, deal with it.

the scrub mindset is so strong in this game. but hey, the meta will continue to change, and the scrubs will continue to place rules or limitations on themselves that keep them from achieving victory over and over and over and over....etc.

[Kjudoon]

The problem with that article is this. "Winning is the only goal and the only way to have fun."

This is wrong. It is the only goal for a very small minority of players.

Pander to this minority and you will kill your game. The current state of the population in CW is the canary in the mine shaft.

Funny. I usually have 4-6 times more fun when running a build I like, win or lose.

and if pgi were to buff streaks tomorrow so they do 20 damage a missile, streaks would become the new meta - and if you played to win you would have to take streaks.

that is assuming you have enough time and so little going on in your life that streak boating is the kind of game you want to play, i certainly don't. and if the game were to come to that mind-numbing pathetic boredom and stupidity, me and a lot of people would just quit - and you would be free to wait for locks and streak the other streak boats all day while you herpaderp

i would just switch to a game like street fighter which funnily enough was mentioned in the link you posted, but doesn't illustrate your point at all - it just shows you don't know about good game developing or balancing

much like street fighter taking an underpowered chassis (with a good loadout) is not automatically losing or setting yourself up to failure, you can win a tournament in street fighter with dan; technically - the worst character in the game.


at least justin wong did it. - the tier level in that game becomes more and more pointless each revision, and in ultra it's basically pointless because capcom kept balancing all the character (they hired progamer combofiend) even if you have the worst character in the game or a lowest tier character like guile, there are people like dieminion that play with guile and get to the top8 or semifinals with him, for any particular character - mastering his moves will make you win in street fighter


it's mostly the same in this game, and it will be more so as the devs continue to fine tune it so in the future there are many legit ways to play - it will become a more diverse game as better balance is achieved


already you can win the assault vs world tournament with pretty baby, as it has happened before:

try to keep your brain from exploding when reading this btw, i know it contradicts your tier-rank dogma baloney

Geniuses rushing in between you and an enemy while burning through with an alpha and then complain for getting legged, as they hump the enemy's leg. And even if you say sorry, some go medieval on your bum and be like "lol, u lucky i have no more ammo or you'd b dead!".
