4 lrm5, 2 llas Atlas, standing outside the circle on Crimson domination while the whole enemy team is under the party deck. All the armor of an assault hiding and poking with all of the effective damage of a raven 3L.

My new goal is to basic the pxh 1b without winning a single round. I am on round 10 now with 3 efficiencies unlocked. I had the other two basiced in 11 rounds each. Also, erppc' steel like they don't do enough actual damage for the heat and cooldown time. Funny how 42 points worth of ml/mpl seems to kill things better than 20 pts of erppc, for a lot less weight. Maybe if I was good at staying at range I would feel differently.

Win Premium Time.

It's good for 24 hours.

Real-life, work, food, sleep means you get 4 hours of use out of it.

Company profits.

Player loses.

Yeah, I am going to stick with the erppc's and see if I can figure them out, but my teams have been folding so fast that plinking away with ppc's has not been going great lately.

I found it hilarious how my ERPPC nova was doing more dmg compared to when I tried poptarting with a Griffin.

It took me a few days to realize why.

First time i posted in the daily whine......but oh my god,i must vent before i throw something through the window.

Canyon-Assualt,everyone has played this set up many many times,the same thing happens nearly everytime,one team blobs around D5 low ground,the other team,for some unknown reason(im leaning towards lack of brain power),runs to the middle,like sheep.

Team that just rounded D5 now have a clear run at the base completely uncontested.

When i see this map/mode together now i tell my team...

"hey,they will come round d5,lets cover that area"

No response from the team.I run and setup overlooking the d5 corner,sure enough,EVERYTIME,the enemy start piling around,so i start targeting them,so at least my team can see that they are there.

At this point my team are normally still sitting in the middle of the map,after i have R'd through the whole enemy team who are now heading straight for our base someone will say,"oh s**t,they are going for our base!"

At this point i am at a loss for words,i mean,i warned them where they were comming from,told people to cover the area they were comming from and its only as the whole enemy team has filed passed me and started capping the base that the geniuses playing with themselves in the middle of the map realise what is going on.

I had a game tonight where nobody reacted until our base had been half capped,not a single person came back, i had to sit there chain firing LL in a damned med mech just to prevent the cap.Cicadas do not hold together well when almost the entire uncontested enemy team is shooting back at you from your base.

But,what really hacks me off about this is seeing the games where people do actually take up positions to cover D5,i win these games everytime,usually by a massive margin,unfortunately i have to get through half a dozen matches where the sheeple run to the centre,stand about for a bit,then have to run back,TO WHERE THEY SPAWNED,to get massacred by the whole enemy team sitting on our base.

God help this game when this is tier one gameplay.

Seems like everyone has an opinion about power draw ... and yet I only see the same 10 people on the PTS server...

It just occurred to me that half of the reason I continue to play MWO is so that I can witness stupid things, so that I can whine about them here. . . I might need a hobby

beeing a lone wolf isnt the worst thing out there... you dont have to care for your actions

and i love to smack talk. alot.
and i do that. alot.
old EVE habit and i like my battles with a banter.

sadly, we dont have a link function as EVE chat has to post funny meme's (or porn l3l)


perfect time for 30 day account injection? well, take 2 weeks off work and use it then.

Team is up 6-3. 4 teammates decide to park on the center hill in Canyon, and wait for the rest of the team to die. We end up barely pulling off a 12-8 win. (I die of course because, "we are way up, push" all alone in a wolfhound).

[nehebkau]

Yep, its after dinner in NA and the quality of players popping into the games has dropped to:

"1-armed left handed, blind, red-headed, androgynous rhesus monkey playing with their feet on a 1980s Atari joystick"

Ok Time to quit until its bed-time for the younger players.

Tier 4 play, which is bad to begin with, has been downright atrocious lately. Just really, really timid and the lasers bouncing all over the targets! My word, sometimes I don't even torso twist because none of the damage is going to the same spot anyway. All of this exacerbated by trying to level a mech I am not good with (pxh-1b, I may never play it again).

I swear I get an up arrow or equal on about 90% of my matches and I can't escape this tier. Save me!!!!

[jper4]

I keep forgetting that "push" means to back away slowly- or at max speed if you're an assault- and die horribly alone.

and yah 3xn- phoenix hawks are still mostly bad for me, slowly getting a couple decent builds running tough. I;ve also decided to retire as anything long range-y as it just makes my eyes hurt trying to peek/poke at range even with zoom

on the plus side I did get to spectate a shadowcat single handedly win a match for us. we were down 6-11 with me dying after getting bored hill peeking on caldera, sweeping around the remaining enemy team,& slip behind two non-seismic using mechs to take out a LRM only cat when the rest of the team finished me off. first I thought it was the usual "guy runnin around to kill time" but he was taking shots here and there and most of the enemy mechs were pretty beat up. shadow cat #1 goes down, then chasing griffin gets xl killed. red CT marauder goes next, think there was a light in there somewhere. down to shadowcat #2 and a timby I think (might have been a grasshopper?) .


lol moment as our side realizes they are both out of LRMs (rain was pretty severe though the match- think I spent a full minute trying to find a spot that didn't have LRMs raining down on me). timby/hopper has a couple of MLs left (our cat slowly shot off the lasers one arm at a time), as does the cat. so our cat kept poking away, killed the enemy cat then the timby/hopper guy just kinda gave up and mostly stood there as our cat finished him off. our guy had 8 kills 1200dmg or so. I had two kills (popped a boomjager's xl ) and our king crab got the last two.

Yeah, I am lousy with long range builds, but feel compelled to run erppc's on the 1b for some reason. I really should be trying some kind of AC and ml's, that is more my speed. I have been doing extremely well with the pxh 1k with 6 ml/2mpl and xl300. But that is pretty bland laser vomit, even if it does get the job done. The pxh-1 I am running 3 large lasers and 3 mg's. Not a lot of synergy, but I do well with it. The llas tend to still do ok at short and medium range unlike the erllas.

I actually started trying to match weapons with quirks in a desperate attempt to get some use out of the phoenix. results have been slightly better, went with dual LPLs instead of ERLLs on the ecm one, dropped the dual erppcs in favor of one (couldn't give it up without duplicating another build at this point) and dual MPLs. went from 8 SPLs to 6MLs in the 3k, LLs instead of erlls in another for the same reason. the 1(S) one I tossed an ac5 in with some MLs, dual LL, dual ML on another.

I more or less kept weapons as is for the Roc and the original phx-1. but looking at my stats only the hero ones have given me good results out of them all. have a tough time breaking 200dmg in them though. lose the arms and you're done and twisting just kind of loses them faster.

behold my badness!

in my eyes, the PHX gets used wrong. it cant withstand sniper duels.
its pretty much the same with a victor.

you gotta pick close range weaps or fast firing weaps and dance around the enemy like a a light. imho thats the better way to go as it seems.
