Already had that a couple of times.
Happens when you swap mechs regularly.
Worst thing when you had a good game and come to think "gee, what I would have been able to accomplish if only I used those jjs"


Yeah, the worst part is I put them on my Kodiak specifically to see how bad JJ are on assaults.

people in game always ***** about assaults not pushing... so I hop into an assault, and every time I push the team sits backand does nothing

PGI isn't the problem with this game, its the player base

I am relatively new in assaults and my problem is constantly finding myself without any teammates near by...it is never because they all got ahead of me. I have actually had 3-4 teammates retreat away from me while I was on the front line. One minute they are there and then they are gone. Guess chasing that light mech away was more important than those 4 heavies over there shooting at us.

Something is really weird with MM. I keep getting paired with this guy who will always go alone in the first 5 mins of the match and get himself killed. Seriously they need to show tiers to show what is going on with MM.


wasn't me was it? i have been out trolling in a short range King Crab and have been doing the slow assault flanking bit but then i have been having teams that hide and peek and get LRMed to death while never leaving the same 100m circle

As the Official AmbAssATore of [GROG] Corps: Please PM me if you a just as generally POed as the rest of the world at not being able to put together a decent team for group drop of FW. We have recently added The Brethren [TBRN] as our staunchest ally and seek to add more. We have been (some of us) around since the beginning and semi actively do group things!!! And the active players are all around tier 2!!! We would like to extend our friends list so we can group with when we change contracts every week. [2323] I am lookin at you...

Cheers!

Also we are usually recruiting, but my strictures are higher than the leaderships, so glhf!

I just had a round where 4 of my teammates didn't break 100 damage, 7 were under 150, and 10 were below 200. I had the high damage and high matchscore with a whopping 289 damage and 159 matchscore. Guess I need to learn to carry.


Also, I feel pretty dumb when I get to the end of the match and realize, "hey that mech had jump jets" and I never used them because I forgot I had them.


I've done that a few times. was leveling cents way back when and I had just swapped builds on one of them to toss a LRM 5 in. had been playing my srm earlier to get the daily win then onto the next. well this one I was firing my lasers all beat up and wishing I could reach that red CT assault 600m away to finish it off because everyone else was ignoring it. rush in take lots of damage but finally kill it. as we're down to the last mech I check my HUD and notice I still had 180 rounds of the 1 ton of LRM 5 ammo left after losing the launcher at the end of the fight with the assault...

I would like put this whine out there...

A light doesn't (usually) carry a big gun. If you see a guy in a locust running ECM and..you know...Scouting. He's not set up to brawl. ok?

So when your dumb *** gets killed how about NOT screaming for him to fight? Especially if you were the jack *** who was yelling at me on River City. I had a large laser. I was sparing with a Commando, a shot up storm cow, and a fresh Enforcer.

FFS...I killed the Commando and chased off the Storm Cow...and yeah....the Enforcer got me. What more do you want a-hole?

I'm in a Locust PB...my job is mostly to scout and mark targets...it's not to listen to a guy in a Kodiak who only got 218 damage before dying.

Mmmmmkay?

Class Dismissed...

I am pretty sure that I am breaking some kind of moral code with my 2 LPL, 4 ml, 4 JJ KDK-2. But it has been working for me. I guess there are some advantages to being in tier 4.

Somewhere, some team is hiding behind a rock trying not to get their paint scratched and you could be right there with them. Does that help? No? Somewhere someone just ran headlong into the enemy team and died doing 28 damage. Now that team will lose because you are not there to pick up the slack. Am I helping yet?

There is just no one left to match you with. I have been noticing a similar trend in my matches and I am in tier 4, so I am not sure where MM is pulling worse players than normal for my matches.

just going to leave this here...

ok a bit of explanation we spawned to the left, the reds to the right. i ran fast as my twin LRM5 dingy could go and got up close to the cliff. my team hung back in the hills and the reds just got on the cliff and both teams took pot shots. so i ran up on the cliff launched an UAV ran back down and scared the reds away with my mighty lrm5s all the while being the only mech in the circle. You see play to win the objective is OP and i was a bad mech warrior for doing such. quickest match in a long time. only 3 min LOL
