Please for the love of god... if you have a low WLR, do not initiate strategy or be drop caller....

hey now i am a tier 5 lifer with a K/D of .47 and a WLR of .89 and i do ok with being a Drop Caller, well if they listen or move out of their 100m circle or if they don't hide or if they don't run away from the first mech to hit them with an AC2/LRM/ML from 500m...

who am i kidding i gave up trying to drop call a bit ago. LOL

Soooo decided to pop by NA server again since the queue is taking quite a bit of time.

Immediately a Legendary Founder teamkills some poor sod who says its a mistaken identity and we go on to lose narrowly.

PS: Just checked the clan tag... apparently they advertise as backshooting lemming herders so I guess, no surprise there

PS2: Killed the TKer in the next match when he's on opposing team. Rage ensues.

I hate it when game suddenly have hitch lag in middle of fighting. Just happen to me few times. When after I firing my weapons / enganging enemies then game just suddenly freeze for seconds then game stable again. It's annoying.

Then suddenly your firing in the back of a friendly! LOL

I don't even really drop call, I just say what I see, and say what I'm shooting at. Unless I get on a stream, I'm usually stream shy.

I've been on both sides of that, it ruins a good game real fast.

assault event going on...

and its obvious that most of the people in assaults now haven't ever played them and have no idea what they are doing

I have been leveling my Kodiaks recently (which is awesome after spending a good bit of my teenage years as a proud Ghostbear marching around in a Kodiak on MW2:GBL) But I think I will go back to lights for the weekend. Sounds like a target rich environment

Also, why would you try running assaults for a leaderboard event if you aren't good at them? It seems kind of pointless.

[Bulletsponge0]

yup...many assaults with pilots that have no clue how to play them

averaging 7 assaults on my team tonight... and consistently 4 or 5 of them can't break 200 damage...

[Steel Raven]

Also a Assault sale going on so allot of players in new 'mech they don't have much (if any) experience in.

[loopala]

All I got to say is my RVN2X with duel LPL has racked up 5 KMD in 4 games. Lots of very large targets out there...

[UnofficialOperator]

So this 0.5 kdr player keeps going on in the first whole 2 mins about how we gonna die ad nauseum and whining about how he always gets the bad team and zero calls. We win 12-3 and he's like ooh I carried the game with 700 damage and quickly logs off before I could epeen about my 900

PS: A little whining I understand, I do it too but to just go on and on and on blocks comms

Event days are fun.

700 match score 1200 damage with a loss. All other assaults with 60-200 damage.

Methinks I need to carry harder.

And I was in the ring...

PS: Wow it gets better.... just came out with 800 damage and a loss. Charlie lance with 3 other assaults all with under 100 damage... like wtf?

Begining of the week some really good matches. They've been gradually getting worse.

Seperate whine reported another player for cheating. His/her archer which was already badly damaged and missing its left arm backed straight up while a freindly battlemaster gave it at least 5-6 constant direct erll at close range hits to the centre torso and it refused to die.
.....or was that just pgi's quality hit detection.

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

Don't feel bad, man. Same thing happened to me on the same map. Assault, deployed on east bluff, led a push around north end, anticipating smashing into enemy firing line. Enemy actually pushed south, allowing us to capture their base without firing a shot.

Match was over in about 3 or 4 minutes.

For some of us, it was our third win, and we earned Premium time for it.

But we found ourselves getting absolutely screamed at by our own team.

Last I checked, a win was a win was a damn win. If the enemy surrenders their base to you, why not capture it? XD

Been like this all day. Team does great smashing the enemy and wrecking their assaults and LRMs, but damn pugs don't push in, and one by one they get slaughtered, then blame YOU for failing to win while they sit on their asses and do nothing.

Oh boy.

I've now had about 10 games with "own" assult: So far one victory, which was 12:0, and I made maybe 40 damage, but at least survived and won.

Now of course it's "difficult" to drive an assult and all that, I can understand that, I think it's specially difficult for a slow one like Dire Wolf which I got, but I think that's not the thing. The difficult part is lack of team play.

To the enemy team, you are just one giant HP pinjata. To your own team, you don't exists.I find it particularly strange, as so often before, I've heard people refer assults as meatshields. Yet, when I'm in assult, the team is always in front of me, way in front of me, and I just don't have the speed to catch up them and a pair of light or mediums come and kill me. In one game the first of our dire wolf was killed by one fast medium about 2 minute mark from the team. Only one light mech was close to him, and that sure didnt' care about the enemy light mech, I managed to fire few times at the light, while the rest of the team, thats 9 mechs, was at the center circle(domination) just waiting for their turn to be completely annihilated. And the enemy won about 2:12.(kills)


Now suppose I'm not literally whining about it. Just annoyed a little bit. Maybe I had little bit much of expectations from assults.

Suddenly like a flash I realize now why I'm so good with Mist Lynx, which supposedly by many is amoung the weaketst of class, and weakests amoung it's class. The small size, speed and ECM makes it practically immune to damage from anyone, and as such you are able to shoot just about anyone. The exact opposite of Dire Wolf.

For reference, I've had about 250 games with different Mist Lynxes, elited all three and mastered the one I kept, with Nova and Shadow cat I've had about 270 games combined, and finally with two Mad dogs, mainly LRM builds, about 100-150 games with SRMs+lasers I've had 540 games in total. So I'm not completely new to the game, I've just found out what it is for assults.

Oh wait sorry, just got my second win with Dire Wolf, wuhuu!

I <3 Daishi.

Because they are on sale. That's all there is to it. People have C-Bills and mechbays so they want to get an assult, I mean those who want one. As assults are on sale that's good time to buy one. Then obviously they will drive the assult, as why would you buy one and not play it. And as I found out, if you haven't before much played assults, you obviously aren't going to do well first.

There is no separate games/queue for leaderboard event.

2 lights plus a nova... apart from the locust they all had purely longrange weapons.

Yeah, I usually avoid the class that everyone is trying to "leaderboard", even if I pick up a sale mech. But, I have been accused of being non-typical (aka weird) before . . .

I've been seeing a lot of cheese as well. BLR-2Cs everywhere.

I voted for conquest ( 6 X Multiplier ), it was 50% conquest 50% Skirmish,
Loading Screen said Conquest.
We had skirmish (no cap points) and my multiplier was gone.

[el piromaniaco]

But then we had a Domination match on Tourmaline, I ran with a pack of other lights, and we rolled the enemy.
First victory of the day in this chassis.
Lot's of assists, 463 DMG, lots of XP and my WLF-2 is mastered. LIfe is bliss.
