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.

That's the best description of a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation.

Played for 6 hours last night. Got the Frozen City map once. Bog, River city, and Forest colony over and over again. Also, whatever tier I'm in apparently hates conquest with a passion.

so when you have the left edge of the caldera secured and UAV and LOS show reds dashing across the caldera, due to the PNT and STK holding the left edge and stopping the reds NASCAR run, well until the reds send up a UAV and figure out we are just 2 mechs, What does the rest of the team do? Keep on NASCARing. surprisingly we won.

but that was offset by this next game conquest in the canyon. got in a lance with 3 PNT10k Rs. booked to eps met 2 lances and bugged out. hit thata then met up with the rest. pushed right up into the red death ball. you will be surprised what 3 very aggressive erppc lights can do working together



i thought i had a good game till i saw their scores o7

I am unsure if I have said this already or not (there are far too many pages ib this thread to even bother going back through to read) but the main thing that gets my goat is the number of pilots who whinge in-game about how early in a match they get killed because their team mates 'never helped' them and post about how awful the team is they were paired with. I mean, really, take some responsibility for your own actions and do not blame the team as a whole just because you decide to run head long into the enemy lines by yourself to get slaughtered. Sure, some teams ARE bad, when you find yourself paired with 8 or 9 or even 10 pugs, but that is just how it is when yoummw play in solo drops; but to blamethe entire team just because are impulsive, rash and impatient is just downright low. If you want to be on a good team with half the chance of winning, then for Kerensky's sake, that LFG option is there for a reason, as: s the ability to form your own team with those on your friends list. Bad drops (or matches as people like to call them) happen - they areparforthe course. Take thrm when they come! But do not instantly get on the text comms as soon as you die andberrate everyone just because you were being reckless and impulsive.

I only rant about not getting assistance in certain specific situations. Like if I see the entire enemy team flanking us and turn to engage..pop a UAV exposing their location to my entire team...only to watch my team march to some predetermined grid sector (you know what I'm talking about..every map has one) where they think they NEED to go before engaging the enemy. At times, its almost like the team is on autopilot and they won;t turn it off until they have marched through all their predetermined waypoints...

yeah everytime I suggest "we go left to save the assault lance" I get met with a confused silence- as the assault lance dutifully heads right since obviously they can catch up to everyone else- also going right. apparently there's a some rule where fights can't start until both teams have exchanged starting points.

Ultimately, I feel that most whines can be summed up in noticing that the Guides & Strategies forum doesn't see much use....

Before it was just caustic but lately they NASCAR almost everytime on other maps too and I can't see why. It's perfectly posssible to win without it, in fact that was how it was done recently most of the time.

sooo just when i think i have seen it all. i get to see this direwolf, duel guass BTW, last man standing 97% and some how made it to the red base. so what does he do, stand on the base and challenge all to honorable combat? No don't be silly! He waddles his way out of bounds, never stepping on the base mind you, and then discos on the edge of the map.

Yeah, I know what you mean, like when on the Terra Therma map, everyone who is anyone feels that the fighting always has to take place within the couldron of the volcano or when on Alpine Peaks, everyone rushes to the mountain where one of the bases is located just because it provides a good vantage point and can fire down at the enemy from there, when in both map cases, they are large enough that you can fight almost anywere and still get a lot more firing cover than where most of the team chooses to fight. It irritates me a lot of the time that I just hang back and let everyone else duke it out there while I go around to a different area and hit the enemy from where they never expect an attack from. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, but at least it breaks the monotony of always doing the same thing on the same map.

Decided to make my break a permanent one I'm afraid, did try this new PSR out and frankly, games (esp in solo Q) are as toxic as ever. I only really enjoy Cw and that is dying a death due to the hyper casual solo focused "community" we have.
Day after day I'm seeing whines from solos screaming about group play and how unfair teamwork is, and how PGI should cater to them alone because there's more of them......

I've had enough of this solo Q and casual catering's effects on my fun, it's poisoned the group Q and pretty much ruined Cw as well for me.
So to the forum buddies I made here, so long my friends and happy hunting.
To those who may read this who keep espousing solo oriented play, please stay away from SWTOR,GW2 and WarThunder-I don't want those games ruined for me too thank you o7

not sure what you mean... also i wish quickdrow didn't look like a fat cockroach rampant... i even invented a build for it recently :3 to try on the public test server when they run the re-balance testing, imo should go well with its quirks, at least existing ones http://mwo.smurfy-ne...865e992b0692370

the end is nigh! canyon- I say before the match "why don't we go left and avoid NASCAR?" suddenly voices start chiming in "sure." "why not", "something different anyway" and wait for it- the team goes left! even the guy who came back after we started because he wanted an apple comes back and asks "we're still going left aren't we?" and comes left with us! suddenly the anti-NASCAR is in full swing. of course the other team went with "lets go straight ahead" so we never ran into them lance by lance. but the leftedness so threw the other team off their game we won 12-2.

so the whine is (as this group was clearly from the tier 1 side of the suspected my tier 3's you get to play everyone status) if people are so into every mode is skirmish- why won't they take the route that leads you to the red team SOONER?

SWTOR and GW2 are already ultra-ADHD games requiring no effort or skill.
