Looking at the new patch notes... Wow, sorry Clanners. I didn't think you needed to be hit with the nerf bat even harder.

Although, PGI did add something a little funny to the new patch notes;

You've never seen a breakdancing mech? I think it's happened to virtually every single mech that's come out.

[Reverend Herring]

Oh my. That video... Made me laugh.

We are back to the Sniper Meta, why PGI has been taping the PPC and Gauss with the Nerf Bat. As a brawler who often gets a torso shot off by a single Kodiak 3/Direwolf Alpha after rounding a corner too fast, I can understand people being hesitant. Especially when someone shouts 'PUSH!' and your lance is the only one pushing into a kill zone.

Could be worse, you could have a lance of Lurm jockeys who never poke their head above cover.

hold on a sec... you get a whole LANCE to push with you? must be nice. <looks back from his ruined mech to the rest of the team still in their original positions- the person calling for the push furthest away>

Last night in group queue, 6-man, canyon. Wide mix of mechs. Get into match and see that we have 1 assault, 3 heavies, 1 light and the rest mediums. I call out on voip that we look awfully light and short range so we need to stay tight and push together. But because it is conquest and people are idiots those not in our group (and 1 who was (sigh)) paired up and went in different directions, while 5 of our 6 headed center.

As the 5 of us 2 Grasshoppers, a Jagger, Centurion AL, and a Cheetah come up the center ramp two reds skylined on the left flank. We had a UAV up so we knew that they had no back up close. We all turned back to engage and every single one of us...all 5...died in approximately a 5 second span. My grasshopper not only was cored out in the rear RT but also the front Left Torso and CT. They used the two skyliners as bait for the gauss PPC firing line they had set up on the right of the ramp. It was an overwhelming amount of precise fire and perfectly executed. And once positioned, most of their team didn't even move. We killed one but they just had a couple guys go cap and when the survivors of our "team" trickled in to theta they got executed. Whole match lasted maybe 4 minutes.

"Snipper meta", is meta for a reason. What a beat down.

I'll see your beat-down and raise you a "WHY THE HELL DO I BOTHER". Get into a Scouting drop with 3 players from the same unit.... I wont say what house <cough DAVION cough>. It is a gather mission and I write "Its protect guys 3 Locusts are not going to cut it." Long story short, we dropped with 3 locusts on a protect AND the other team was a bunch of pugs packing as many SSRM6s as they could collectively carry.

Not only did they beat us down, they pulled us out of our mechs, stripped off our clothes and made us catch a ride back home in a livestock transport. Davion, the Ned Flanders of MWO.

Please tell me that the Locusts weren't S-es running LRMs.

Been levelling Assaults the last few weeks been in the pushes when they happened doing everything mostly right for what an assault is capable of.

Now I'm needing proper assault pilots while I master Assassins I'm getting lurm assaults that think they're good because they spread 400 damage around from 700 meters away and sit at the back wannabe's

[Bilbo]

Why do I have to play 4+ hours to get an opportunity to play a couple maps. As much I hated the weighted randomizing they used to do, at least we were still able to play all the maps.

[Maugged]

Too many stupid teams lately filled with players who disengage from a close range fight and leave the brawlers die because they don't support them anymore and don't share armor anymore... Teams of cowards who just run away and hide and wait to die like idiots...

Dear Teammates

Please stop standing on my back when I'm peeking to take a shot. I can't retreat if you're blocking my way.

I'm a little confused though- I clearly saw assaults advancing into a fight in that video. did you contact support about that bug?

not a bug, just me playing assaults
that was 2014 tho when the game wasnt all about sniping like stuped.

but it really tempts me to get back to that banshee loadout...

edit: i just played 2 games and the teams played so damn pathetic that i just had to leave again.
its a waste of time trying to do something fun in there with nothing but headless chicken running around, doing fails that only bots should do.

I top score in an Assassin, that's not basic skilled, in a team with four assaults all of the meta type, looking through the rest of the scores sighing at how bad they were, and how utterly lacking in carry skills I am.

How I'm not a good PvP player yet somehow I'm in the top 10% of people playing this game, and I'm still T2
.
I've come to the conclusion that the average player of M.W.O is worse than the average in other games, of a similar type, by quite a wide margin.

If P.G.I had any marketing skillz, I'd use this to get more people playing.

Hey Dude, are you severely Crap as a PvP player.

Is your aim terrible, and your situational awareness so bad, you'd miss the toilet trying to sit on it.

Fear not P.G.I can help poor fools like you.

Come play Mech Warrior Online where Mediocre is the standard, who knows you might even look good !

Clearly I answered the call

I don't think I can get any more average than what I am now

kills/deaths 3021/3021 (had a healthy 100 kill lead at one point, leveling bushwhackers have been killing me (well ok MAYBE all the urbies too...))

wins/losses 2352/2349 (always been within a few of each other)

tier- 3 (about 1/4 of the way through)

[SlightlyMobileTurret]

Haven't played all that much for a while, and I gotta say, I'm not sure what's going to happen to my MWO playtime.

Perhaps I'll be more active when the new tech comes around. Though I have very small amount of C-bills lying around.

I think it is just that MWO is brutally hard to play.

But yeah, the average player in MWO is just godawful bad, and half the playerbase is even worse than that.

its not brutally hard to play.
its just not a ego game as many others are.

and that makes it hard for people to play. teamplay is key, ego is fail. why this game is so bad to play.
bad teamplay leads to bad gaming experience in here.

"Really? C´mon ... i´ve seen boardgames that were way more brutal than this. MWO is confusing because of lacking info in-game for beginners, but not hard. Also most people dont get the difference between I R RAMBO and WE R RAMBO, which is EXTREMELY significant ... ´cause there ain´t no "I" in team"

But yeah, the average player in MWO is just godawful bad, and half the playerbase is even worse than that.
"I can only agree . "

Despite the recent flooding with event players ( vade retro, satanas !!!!!!) I still manage to get half-way decent games ... if only from time to time ( as in 1 out of 5 games maybe a touch less) and then with cookie-thieves like Alienized (did you get rid of that Stalker? ) or other decent players .
