ugh....

Visual representation of my head seeing those scores.



Welcome to the underhive.

[bad arcade kitty]

ha, that's a better match comparing to what i saw today... caught in a river together with people who couldn't shoot, did ~245 damagae... and ended second by damage on the team! (we had one good assault)

[Catra Lanis]

Nothing works. A month ago I was in the upper half damagewise almost every match. Now I'm happy if I break 300 and get a single kill. Admittedly I've dusted off mechs that's never been good to me but I could do half decent in them. Now I am in some kind of cellar tier it seems.

My side torsos melt like butter in one salvo and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong because I'm always the first to go down. What's happening?

From your description it seems you may be in a higher tier than you think rather than the cellar.

You're kinda well known Catra. I've seen your videos and notice your name every time I see you on the field. Not that I go after names. Great way to get killed, that. Lately there's been a bit of forum warrior headhunting going on I think because I know they try that crud with me too, but since I don't straight up brawl... They're going to have to get back to their base to do it... and that usually costs their team.

Just had a frustrating Conquest match. Me and my Raven-4X-Wing took 4 capture points single handed putting us 250 points ahead of the other team. I even came back and landed the killing blow on 2 enemy Mechs at the tail end. Final match score? 139 points. I played a Conquest match by their rules and got a s hit score in return. If you're gonna have different game modes PGI, then maybe give a little more weight to accomplishing the main objectives. *grumble, mutinous muttering*

Team oriented builds do not work for me anymore (ie. Urbanmechs/ fire support mediums) but I still do ok in my solo-pug-king Locust 1e and Anansi. Apparently, I am better off by myself

Now you know how the Emperor of Mankind felt. So alone, so singular with nothing to match him, or relate to him, as he stood at the top.

Finally, someone understands . . . or, I used to get carried by better players and steal their kills and thought I was all cool and stuff and now I have to run around behind ththe enemy and hope I can shoot enough of them in the back to get enough damage toget my 150 match score before I get caught by an arctic cheetah

The most annoying thing ever are players asking for "less grinding", "less challenge", "less effort and time put into advancement", and "more rewards".

Also, such senseless input as "o7", "glhf", "gg", and "Altantes" being called "Atlasi" exasperate some players a lot.

[Sarlic]

I couldnt help myself and fiddle with experimental builds for the Atlas guide in Smurfy.

Gauss Atlas *manical laugh* is something that can actually work. I have been using Gauss in my K for some time. Also in my RS. Both do pretty decent. Except th K is hard due lack of hard points and not rewarding AMS rewards.

I mean i have the range to be effective on long range. I paired it up with a long range laser and made adjustment to be a true generalist build. It freaking fits my playstyle even more.

Con is the exposure time, armor points and the low slung hardpoints. But i get used to it with positioning.

I have to join the other gauss / laser spam myself to be effective at all. With a full brawler Atlas is getting in range the hardest part. Often i lost a good chunk of my health and or the team didnt do anything with me and i die because nobody backs up.

In before Gauss-las!

Problem is just like the Atlas it needs team players around the mech to be effective at all. Grmbl!

Less of a whine and more of a lol at people trying to tell Russ that steam launch is important... over twitter. Pretty sure he knows, and has better things to do (regardless of what kind of job one might think he is doing).

There must be some mistake, I haven't done any videos so I can't be known for that but yes it sometimes feel like people are singling me out. More often than before 3 mechs fire at me the same time even when they (judging from angles and other factors) have two easier targets just in front of me. That could all be coincidence though as I have no hard data to back it up with.

I'm not doing myself any favours running the Victor-9K with an XL and the Shadowhawk 2H either but I did ok in them before in the sense that I was able to at least keep my nose above the water.

Well that was embarassing to mix up names so publicly. Garcon.... My whine.

Power to the DEATHBALL!!

Only if said deathball is not a cowerball.. ..in which case you are doing it wrong. Hiding on one spot is a weak tactic.

[Catra Lanis]

Is it me or have people started to ruin it for their team mates? I can't count the number when I am just about to let go of a gauss round when someone bumps into me ruining my aim not to mention when people have run into me at start damaging my armor. This is not something new per se but now it happens all the time, even when I am still people run into me. They do it even if we see each other. I run at half speed to the beach, someone comes. I shift slightly but the other guy refuses to bother and run into me. We have each other in sight for 2 seconds or more.

[The Mech behind you]

Well, the new PSR system was awesome for a week. Lots of great fights and only a few rolls. But since two days, or let's say since this event is rolling, it's like ELO is back. More rolls than true battles and in most cases I'm the only one on my team who's able to kill a mech or do more than 300 dmg. About 75% are rolls.

And lots of 'suiciding' lights on the other team. Except my team is not able to kill those 1-2 lights rushing into the blob all alone. I was witness of how 2 lights were able to stall our full assault lance for 3 minutes and then they were able to run away, because the whole lance couldn't kill a single light

And I'm talking about all kind of lights not ACH exclusivly!

Well, I started to head back and get the lights killed myself. I know, don't all go after the light and don't chase the light, but if I don't do it our assaults won't participate in the big fight and we're screwed

On the other hand. If the whole assault lance can't deal with 1-2 lights we're screwed anyways.
