The moment when you hop into a match, and the enemy team says to 'aim for the kit fox with dual PPCs' in all chat...

....And it actually happens. :C

Try using a triple AMs Fox with overload and range:) The enemy lrmscum go mental, demanding your death^^

New computer will be here Wednesday. I will probably have to quit for good after that since I can't use "My computer is so bad that I don't play well." As an excuse anymore.

Lol if anything it'd probably improve. Framerate is everything in FPS games.

That is what I am hoping, but I know am fully capable of over-estimating my own abilities

...I have no words. My team just sat there...literally eating LRMs by staring them in the face :/

Ended up having to kill most of the enemy team in a long guerrilla fight.

Given that me and mine have been absent from CW for so long we have clearly lost our knack for it. Until this event most of us had only played a few matches (the last event I think) since phase 3 dropped and then I, like seemingly most of the community, abandoned ship. As a result, we have no coordination, or planing of drop decks, or strategy until we are already in the match.

Nonetheless, and despite my loathing of what they did to CW...now FP via Phase 3...I freely admit to have been having a great time this past week. It isn't that FP is any better than it has been (it is still fairly boring, and repetitive choke-point warrior, but now with a narrator and occasional long tom), but this event seems to have brought out many of the CW expatriates; and most of the fun has been due to them. The folks I drop with are mostly just having a good time, and it has been a treat seeing and bantering with lots of other folks who I haven't seen in game in a long time.

This event won't save FP or return the game to the halcyon days of CW phases past, but all the folks playing this last week have made it a real pleasure during this event. Its really a shame that the mode is so bad that it takes an event like this to get people to play.

Every time I end up in a match with a well known forum warrior, my play goes to ****.

I swear its the pressure

Stop dropping in my matches dudes !

that sounds familiar.

<beat>

"aw crap i'm not breaking 100 dmg this match am I..?"

So I'm in my alt which is a tier lower than I am, and I swear, MM is the worse I've ever known it

strange things happen in CW

Its a Hold Territory match on the Sulphur map, I am happy because we had both the combat ID and the satellite sweep unlocked for us. a couple of minutes into the drop, and the satellite sweep shows us exactly what gate they are coming in... things are looking good...

then suddenly, an announcement comes across coms in a gruff voice "the enemy satellites have linked up with their artillery"

WTF??? we went from having the ID and sat sweep advantage and in literally 1 second, lost both of them while the enemy gained the ID, sat sweep AND long tom??

how is that possible?? or is it a fantastic bug feature where PGI awards the long tom to the wrong faction once it is earned in scouting?

[3xnihilo]

I know it has been said before, but the trial commando load out is just bad, and everyone who voted for it should be ashamed of themselves.

[SlightlyMobileTurret]

What? It has a STD engine, atleast it won't die to the first dual gauss shot when they stand still.
Still goes cheetah speed. Unless your issue is with how little guns it has.

I think scouting rewards are fluid at this point in time. When you enter a FW match, it's possible to have a landslide victory on one side in scouting and the rewards switch over. It's really weird.

FW on Emerald. Against a 12 man of MS. They come in the gate. I get shot in the back. They are two hills over. I turn to the HBK2c behind me and threaten to take his legs if he shoots me in the back of my zero armored rear Kodiak again. "Hey man, it was a bad lock.". Note the LRMs. Used as a meatshield. Managed to outmaneuvere me and hid behind me as I took on 4 warhammers. GG bro. Hope you keep running the same load out. See you next week when we switch contracts.

[nehebkau]

Seriously! For the love of Blake! WTH goes through some people heads! 4 mechs in scouting -- protect intel (like it matters). One is a griffon 2N SRM Brawler (me) -- can you guess what the others are?


WRONG! They were LRM boats: Two Kintaros and one Treb. NONE of them had backup weapons but one of the Kintaro had 2 TAGs. TWO TAGS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!

I am strongly considering becoming a pirate.

I think I ran against those other 3 in a scouting drop yesterday.... LRMs...in scouting?!?!?

yeah, it didn't end well for them

GD I am bad and I can't catch a break atm.

So I am leveling Hunchies. 5 losses in a row, each one I get damage of high 300s, typically just shy of 400. With damage and bonuses from UAV even in losses I am getting like 1200-2000+ xp. A couple of down arrows and some equal signs too so not feeling terrible. Still, I try to break the losing streak, so I switch to the Grid Iron. Do one match with Gauss and 3ML and again a loss with 381 damage. Another equal sign. Switch to 2 AC5 and 3ML build. First match a loss and another equal sign (380 damage). Second match...I finally get a win! No thanks to me:

Had the bad DZ on Caustic and was cored almost immediately by the rushing reds. Tried to get cover in the rocks around the rim and their assaults were just coming over, and they finished me off.
Team carried me to a "win": 81 damage. 600-something xp including x2 bonus. The 7 losses gained me over 10K experience.

I guess I'm a good loser?

Sigh.

Hahaha, this is so much my experience on the What Mech Challenge in my Centurions. 350-500 damage in loss after loss after loss. Then you die early and the team wins, like they are just better off without you.
