Okay this is sort of a whine....
I really hated pugging until yesterday. I loathed the super solo me.myself and I mentality. I challenged myself to get voip working and see if I could make a positive impact on my games....well it kinda worked:)

I started by calling targets such as "A, left side torso" I constantly kept doing that...my wins started rising...I moved on to gently suggesting moves...wins kept happening...others then started to talk too....more wins.......
Granted I still get the super solos dweebs who ruin it for the team but once peeps start to hear a voice saying something worth it they start to pipe up themselves...
The whine part is why does it have to be me who speaks up? In each game there is at least 4-5 with working mics that won't speak till I do...then the rest who just refuse to speak or listen...
Plus sadly it's nearly all Americans who speak, my euro brethren do not seem to be interested at all. Always seems that people don't want to speak English-even when they can....is English that hated?

I always get a small sense of satisfaction when I see a fellow forum warrior on the enemy team and I am able to hunt them down and get the kill ... Mind you, this dos not work with Daily Whiners, when I see those I know my round is doomed

This heavy mech sale really highlights to me how annoying it is to need 3 variants to master a chassis. I could have had 5 brand new unique mechs to play around with. Instead, I have 3 Warhammers and 2 Grasshoppers. Granted at least a couple of the Warhammers are unique, but the Grasshoppers, they are very nearly identical.

Also, there is something horribly wrong in the universe when I have back to back posts in the Daily Whine and they are more than 24 hours apart.

Joining a unit is not hardcore. Neither is using TS. There seems to be a huge issue here in mwo about this.
Casual should not have to mean solo

Here is my whine...

If you and an online/ingame buddy group up and drop in the group queue you and the other 6 2-man groups get slotted up against a 12-man.

honestly, do groups of 2 really hurt/unbalance the "solo" queue?

I have gone from posting on the daily whine to just cutting myself...

MWO is a lesser game sans Ragemonkey:P

[3xnihilo]

Well, I have only 500,000 cbills left, but I picked up the 3 cbill variants of the Warhammers, 2 Grasshoppers (the ones with lasers :/ ) and 1 Catapult (C1 with 2 missile and 4 energy?). So, if I ever earn enough cbills back to kit them out, I will have lots of new toys to play with

Maybe I will spend real money again if I start having fun playing again. I basically play now because I remember when it was fun. I am hoping some new heavies might help shake things up a bit since I mostly pilot lights and mediums. First, I have to get through the grind of relearning the whole game. all of the skills that are rewarded in tier 4 are punished in Tier 3. I am not sure what even changed but I went from 2-3 kills and 400-600 damage being pretty normal to 0 kills 150-250 damage being normal. Basically what I expected when I was really new running an erppc spider 5D with no clue about the game.

I decide? Ok, you were on an intergalactic ship, taken prisoner by some probe-happy grey-skinned being from the far side of the galaxy. After repeated probings the creature dropped you off on the planet Graceworld where the planet's King, Elvis, was putting on an impromptu concert for his people. After the concert, you were left to hitch-hike home with a family of quadrupeds from Betelgeuse who were all suffering from a severe head-cold.

I came up behind an adder tonight that didn't see me, put 3srm 6, and 6 ml into it's rear ct at about 50m. He ignored me and kept shooting at the friendly in front of him. The second alpha got him, but 120 damage seems excessive to core an adder from behind.

The time has come to purify the Inner Sphere of overquirked surats...

...And now PGI has released a Cute Fox...called the Purifier...

.......MUST HAVE IT! D:<

[Fox With A Shotgun]

If PGI insists on continuing to add obnoxious time-of-day effects, the least they could do is properly implement ECM as it should be on TT.

The current implementation of it as an area Null Sig is...beyond broken. Especially during night time on maps like Caustic where vision modes hardly do anything to improve visibility.
