oh and for my official whine.

was in a conquest match in commando just after PSR started. decided to see what would happen if I just capped and no combat. I recall seeing somewhere here (patch notes probably) that role warfare would be encouraged so the 0 dmg winning base capper in assault doesn't get a 0 match score since no dmg was done. long story short- I was last mech on my team, we won on points with the other side having 2 mechs left. my match score was 67- well below the people who fought even though I was the one to last long enough (and after the initial rush to the first cap point,the only person capping the whole match) for the win to take place.

i saw how an enemy ach got a ridiculously low score (sub 100 iirc, definitely sub 200) after this patch when it did the same, killed 2 (!) badly damaged mechs who were guarding our points with very well aimed shots and carried that game for the enemy by cap being the last who left on their team... and for all that that game probably didn't even count to their psr and they got ver low c-bills...

don't tell me that psr encourages teamplay

So after whining about all of my bad matches I decided the best thing to do was to start using my most OP meta mechs. 2 rounds later I unlocked my creeping death achievement in a 4 kill (3 solo) match with my Locust 1E. Remember kids, whiners are winners and locusts are OP.

Totally understand your feels Sarlic. I came back specifically to burn off 2 months of premium time because my confidence for this game to exist farther into 2016 is small. I may as well use it and "enjoy" it as much as possible. I'm giving PSR a chance, and if it werent for assault no longer being de-facto skirmish with the turrets, I probably wouldn't care if I burned it and never used it. But I base rush now every single time, team or no team. At least the fights I get are better as my W/L ratio plummets.

Plus the new map is nice. I really like it. Possibly because it ticks the tryhards off so badly.

[Kjudoon]

I do not like the fact that it seems most players have inflated PSRs due to the old data, resulting in them experiencing bad losing streaks as they sink... far too slowly into their proper tier. Plus, most of us, it won't matter since our tier (probably tier 3) will face everything!

This Golden Brush thing is like herding cats. I must be a masochist. That being said, glad to finally have access to a PC and decent internet again. Nothing says stress relief like the boom of an AC/20

I see no use in continuing playing this game any further.

I have had enough of it. I haven't unistalled since ages after PGI announced Trannyverse.

Since that implentation of PSR and Russ anedote:

'Takes several days or weeks to settle your PSR.'

It's not litterly one match i am talking about it.

Out of t about 100+ matches i have played i have won about sub par 5-8 matches. My W/L ratio dropped hard. My KDR dropped hard. Everything just went out of the window. Roughly the same dull and stale stomps but then ten fold. I barely can dish out any good damage due all these muppets falling down around me.

Am i saying that i am the carrier? Certainly not. I see other folks in my team having roughly the same thing. Stomp and disconnect. And i am not the only one taking stomps or bad matches in the face. I see other familar names as well sitting in the same boat. And i'm practically always on the losing end.

I don't care about my stats, but i care about teamwork and this is absolutely zero untill i see familar names.
It's seriously taking my fun away.

Yeah, i'm done it. Temporary- or not, unistalled just in case untill i feel the need to install it and give it another try perhaps when the new rebalance kicks in.

I am not wasting my time on this game any longer.

Get your rest buddy. We'll see you in a few months. A break helps, we all take them from time to time. I've been lucky enough to have real life force months-long breaks on me. Do keep in touch, especially in the forums.

Metal Gear 5 out soon as well.

Praise be to Hideo Kojima, the psycho with crazy attention to loose ends.

and a jolly "screw you" from the match maker. Easy kill on a CPLT. 3mpls rattling into the back, in a panther... overheats suddenly with just about every shot. Watching the heat of a single MPL jump 5% or more, coolshot doesn't work. Mech gets over a rise and suddenly 9 mechs ******* to pieces. CPLT survives after a FULL MINUTE OF TAKING MPLS TO THE BACK FROM ME INBETWEEN SHUTDOWNS!

horsecrap. what the bleep just bleeping happened to the bleeping heat scale???

bleeping horsebleep.

edit: "B l o w me" is a censored phrase????

Was having great games for most of today then the MM decides to put me on teams of people that only know how to use the S key.

i just played 3 battles and got sick of all these noobs again. some play years and still cower the complete battle.

[Eglar]

FIrst time in MWO that I snapped and let it all out on my Team in teamchat by blaming them for a well-deserved loss when I targeted and said in Teamchat multiple times where the enemy is coming from, while they are chasing me. They of course killed the fleeing light (me) and than ripped through our lines on river city with 11 mechs looking at a single Direwolf on the other riderside.

The most sad thing was seeing one of our guys stopping in the middle of combat to write a reply.

even more sad that you cant get good scores with teamplay in pug drops.
you need to be a selfish dumb@ss to get good rewards.
thats how PGI wanted it. thats how it got.

Lol

I can have a great day....And then, as soon as I see youz or any other forum warrior in game, it comes to a screeching halt as I have a match with 100 damage (or less)...

[mad kat]

Ragequitted tonight. Every single team i had were literally useless at least 2/3 of matches i was carrying the bloody team who ran around like lost sheep, couldn't aim at a mech <250m in front of them and who refused to front-line. Half of my matches tonight several of my team failed to get a three digit match score.

Got shot to peices on a few occasions because of the meatshield crew (kinda didn't help i was in an Awesome).

And then there's the LRM rain....lots of it. i was calling the other team LRM ******* to troll them but got no response from them defending themselves which kinda means they know they're doing it deliberately...Of course they are, they're farming it's an event. Silly me.

Oh well at least i got 4/5 qualifying games for some c-bills.

Its Event play.. "hide and snipe....gotta get my 150 match score and don;'t care about wins" playstyle going on right now..

aggression goes out the window

had several teams that stood back and watched my fight the entire enemy team myself... well, they would have watched if they weren't hiding...

[Bulletsponge0]

and hit reg failure screwed me out of a qualifying match...

13 LPLs to the CT of an EJ...it had yellow armor after that and killed me....

[Bulletsponge0]

I must be in the underhive

ugh....

Hitreg is crap again? I thought I was noticing this but my lights all have small alphas so it is a little harder to distinguish than when you drop 50 damage into someone's ct and they walk away.

[loopala]

been running the panther 10k® for this event and so far 50/50 making 150.
i seemed to have fallen into the tier were the voip raggers live.
rage over lites not scouting then rage over the lites leaving the flanks open when they go to scout
oh well the pride of the combine will keep going but if this keeps up i will pull out the 30 pointer CN9-AL

Verily for pug drops... which is to say, anything less than a familiar 12-player drop.

I find it actually far more frustrating when it's a group that treats the rest of its team as a pack of meatshields.

(and of course, I see selfish individual play even in 12-player groups...
but whether anybody calls them out on it is that unit's own business....)


ps: and in part, my disappointment in recognizing there's other games that naturally bring out healthier cooperation between players. (but then, those games have had other problems, such as no big stompy robots. )

ps2: and to relate the funny pinnacle of selfish group play... those few times I've seen where a group realizes the jerkitude occuring, resulting in a 12 v (4 vs 4)+4. Just too much of a disaster to really consider reporting it~
