games like this make me want to ask to buff streaks/

it was 1v1 duel (well, almost duel, some surat shot a couple of shots from afar too), streakcrow vs jager (didn't expect ac-20 lol, i thought it was an easy prey), i lost it, we both were basically undamaged at the beginning

jager survived despite taking so much damage (all that 467 damage went to the jager) dunno if it had xl engine... or may be he was ridiculously lucky

it was crippled hard, tried to shut down in a corner but was found and killed and we won, but still

thats what streaks are for you pretty useless against fat targets


i had a CW battle earlier... first 2 mechs went crap. a whole 220 damage... both mechs died under 5 minutes =/
then i hopped in my QKD.. it lasted til the end.
did the final kill. red center/rear center.
final damage: 1784. oh my lovely quickdraw.... what would i do without you <3
(last mech would been a Atlas D-DC lol)

I fear the hitreg fix! I need to torso twist even better when the fix appears to be working.

Scary!

I figured, generally don't mind the compliment of being the primary (even though my wubber awesome is the wrong mech for that sort of thing) but that team couldnt have held water in a bucket. That was the real gripe.

Nice push underneath, it was all I could do to strip one of the Daishis then the missile coverage forced me into a bad spot (again, cause the team couldnt hold)

Lets try it again when I get my Wolfhounds

Absolutely true, they had no focus fire, or any sense, dropping in one at a time. All four of us were wading through your team, hitting people but all you heard on TS between the 4 of us was "Where is he? Anyone spot him? Call out his designation when you do." That was our Daishi you wrecked, btw.

The broken hitreg on that Urbie was a fine example, Bulletsponge.

Don't know if i had to hysterically laugh or just water my eyes when i saw it.

serious epidemic of teams that are scared to get their paint scratched today...

Group queue has been a very different experience today. We do get some timid players, but when there's a push, THERE'S A PUSH!. Had a match on Frozen city where I put my mech at 100% throttle, and did not slow down one bit until I died. The whole team was mobile, and maneuvering the entire match.

why do pugs go into CW with no intention to actually fight??

my god...I'm tired of seeing pugs that can't average 200 damage per mech..

hell, I'm tired of seeing people that can't average 100 damage /mech or 50 damage/mech

In my case, framerate has a huge effect. Normal matches aren't great, but still perfectly playable. CW framerates are much lower, though. Also, the map design. Even though they're all arena-style, pug maps still allow for flanking and other such maneuvers. CW maps do not, and that affects people who prefer a more expansive playstyle, like myself. I do pretty well in the casual queue, but CW? Not so much.

When I ask about that and actually get a response, a lot of them are doing the "tour the factions for free mech bays"... because it'd only take 30~50 games to reach RANK 2.

along with the players who supposedly enjoy the respawn and/or gameplay dynamics, despite the likelihood of setting 12 minimally experienced or casual solos versus a full unit of competition players.

well, that's what they say anyway... i just don't know.. i just.. well, okay then.

when i have a good game i can get 400 ~ 500 dmg with 1 mech, but somedays it is hard for an aggressive pugger like myself to get 400 dmg for a whole cw match. puging being puging....

that and hit recognition, and old machine that can get a 30 fps once in a while. i really need to update my hardware...

I'm not talking about the overly aggressive players that score low...its the ones that want to hide and score low

like a CW drop I just had on Emerald Taiga

we were on the defense

one guy mounted the hill that separates our spawn area from the main base, and stayed there
I suggested to him that he move forward and join the fight (mind you, this was after the first wave of attackers had come through). He replied somethig about providing LRM support (red flag wet up for me right there)
I then replied that he might want to move into LRM range then, since that hill is already almost 900m away from omega, and what..1500m from the gates?
he ignored my advice, so I went on a fighting my heart out in a futile effort...
when My last mech was killed, I spectated him...he had just died in the exact spot he had been camping..in a hellbringer..with NO LRMs mounted..had 2 CERPPCs and some ERMLs and ECM
End of match..he did zero kills, 11 assists and 444 damage

he had at least 2 hellbringers in his drop deck...that he denied ECM coverage to the team so he could camp....I assume he had LRMs on one of those hellbringers (the second one most certainly did NOT have LRMs) that he used to great ineffect

thats the kind of "WTF are you doing?" player I'm talking about..not the "We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France,
we shall fight on the seas and oceans,
we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches,
we shall fight on the landing grounds,
we shall fight in the fields and in the streets,
we shall fight in the hills;
we shall never surrender," type players like you are

[IraqiWalker]

I have a twofer:

1- Spent 3 Million C-Bills by accident on a module.

2- I was having problems with leveling up the LCT-3V, and wanted to steer clear of slapping a silly ERLL on it.

Tonight, I caved, and put the ERLL on. Got two Frozen City Night matches back to back where I couldn't see $#!t. Took that as a sign from God, and matchmaker that I should switch back. Indeed I did. Next drop: Not Frozen City Night.

Thought for the day: Don't anger the MM.

[Jon Gotham]

The Mm is a sadist, a cruel and evil sadist. Played around 20 games today, won 2. The losses were all stomps. Teams just crumpling like day 1 beginners within 2 mins of first contact, leaving me to get overwhelmed.
I just started on my last IS heavy today the Quickdraw. I like the mech but don't want to play the game.
Because of the AWFUL solo queue. Worst thing that ever happened to MWO, it promotes such poor play from the players!
This bleeds into group queue spoiling that and even into CW...spoiling that.

My whine: No one has yet to call he new River City map P2W yet. This community disappoints me

[Jon Gotham]

Well...pug Q.
Dear gods it has been awful today, I've just logged off feeling...well...miserable. What is it about the mwo playerbase? The hiding and camping, the sheepherd instinct and the just awful play.
I've played like crap today-it has gotten under my skin to be honest with the sheer amount of derpage on display.I really, truly believe the solo Q was an awful idea, the only way you can have fun in it is if you don't care if you win or lose.
Detach all interest and passion from it and you are golden, but then what's the point?

I only enjoy CW now. Even the group Q is like solo, the bad play and selfish crap has bled into that. I even see it in pug groups in Cw. Some poor bloke was trying to lead a group I was in earlier and the puq element might has well have just peed on his lawn.....they just ignored him utterly and threw away any chance we had. I thanked him for trying at least.

PGI need to employ someone to look at and manipulate player behaviour to be honest.
