The fact that the servers haven't been burned to the ground and the company made an example of is my whine

[Kasumi Sumika]

Why friggin' Kerensky on Roller Skate I got drop in Lights Lance while I ride WARHAMMER A 65 KPH SPEED HEAVY MECH. I got left behind while my Lance when gotta go fast and I can't catch up with other lance since it too far away. While I want to group up with other team, I get Swarmed by enemies and I destroyed in 3 Minutes.

I call that Unfair and F@#$ING BULLS$%T!!

So, I just thought I would pick up the free day of premium time on my clan acct. once I was done with the personal challenge on my main. 9 matches later I am still 1 win short of the 3 I needed. I don't suppose going in to work late for a day of PT is really worth it though, so you win again MM. Curse you!

during the light event my urbie almost made it into the assault lance.

they just toss them in by weight class- bet you had 7 or 8 assaults on your team that match and you got the bad luck of being the non steiner scout lance mech stuck with the speedsters. catapult and 3 lights in bravo lance went only slightly better except I was closer to the assaults than alpha usual uis so I made it to the fatties in time.

While this is obvious after the fact it is my whine none the less:

Playing this game in a feverish state while racked with coughing fits does not make it any easier.

How did I come to this knowledge you ask? Well, I stayed home from work yesterday due to a really bad cold, possibly influenza, but thought to myself: "oh well, at least I can play some MWO."
That did not work out so well. My moment of realization came (after like 4 matches of sub-100 damage) wherein I could not figure out how I died. I was trying to shoot a Locust and then I was dead. In hind sight, I had been standing standing stock still trying to shoot the lil bugger for a good 10 seconds, while his 11 buddies decided to do un to me; and I never noticed a one of them. Yeah, even in the depths of illness, I knew it was time to log off.

Yeah, I was just on. The assault queue is still more populated than the heavy. And still full of pilots who have no business in an assault.

Also, I just had the round that would have been the last victory I needed and the kmdd's I was short on the personal challenge on my clan account

[Stone Wall]

Had the worst match ever just now AND I got it on tape. I might upload it if you guys are interested.

The Whine:

I started out watching a Locust shoot our team 3 times at HPG Assault. Of course this slowed our team down and we were out positioned a bit. On top of that, I caught the lag bug and kept a ping over 300 the whole match. Another team mate folded his arms and was PISSED at this griefer. The griefer ended up killing him.

Near the end of the match, 2 enemy Mechs were sitting on our base along with a friendly with no weapons. We had another friendly bum rush to our base to help. He ended up killing the last two mechs to win the game. That was the only positive.

At the victory screen, the griefer was awarded the Supply Cache as the icing on the cake!

Ment to say the Locust was on our team.

It is my hope that they will turn the screws on the match maker by the time I give up on trying to get into a match on the PTS tonight and team composition will be fairly normal.

I think some people must be burnt out in assaults. I was the only assault on my team earlier today, so maybe things will even out soon. Just in time for the nightmare that will be the heavy mech leaderboard challenge

They are doing the Power Draw public test this weekend, so, with any luck, there shouldn't be an event for another week at least. I didn't even bother to log in for the personal challenge bit on this one. The only thing worse than over-heavy teams are over-heavy teams that have no intention of actually engaging the enemy.

Press 'R' .....Why what does that do? FFS.

Seriously though does no-one press it anymore?

Judging by the shear number of scouting bonuses I receive in a brawling Atlas, I'm going to say no, no one presses R anymore.

Tried the Locust for the first time (trial champions mech). I did 23 (twenty-three) damage and the match was over for me in less than two minutes. I forgot to say sorry to my team...
How you can be competitive in that tin can is beyond my imagination...

Now you understand the shock and disgust we locust pilots felt when PGI nerfed them because of all the whining on the forums

as a master locust pilot myself. not sure if that is a statement about my skill or sanity? but i am tier 5 so draw your own conclusions on that.



the locust is not for everyone. it takes timing, skill, practice, and a huge amount of denial and hope. forget that 24 damage game, it is in the past... look forward to the that whale that does not turn around fast enough and you core it out for the solo kill. or the time you carry the team. forget those other hundreds of time you get one shoted the first time you stick you head out. live for that one game were you broke 400 damage and 2 plus kills..

also be sure to to visit the support group for locusts

And...the are running an event over top of the PTS session. They will then wonder why no one bothered with the PTS.

ggclose to myself.
could not do more than 20 battles for the assault event on my brawling victor but made it on 44th
