So one match tonight I get half my mech taken off by friendly fire. Get shot in the back again. Warn the team to watch the fire then just after that get rear cored as a team mate tried to shoot the enemy through me. Team killed.

Then I thought I'd have a go on my atlas. Team splits up as usual and enemy tries to run around the left flank I ask team to wait in a valley let them cross the open ground so we can get them as they peak around the corner. Just as the enemy come around the corner my team runs off leaving my atlas on its own call for help twice as five enemy mechs appear. They cary on running away.

A little later in my atlas again team asks us to move up so we do, I say I'll push so follow the atlas I crest the rise i see a Lance my team turn around and hide.... Again.... I get stuck in cover so try to move out kill a rifleman in the process and hurt a mauler. Team still hiding. Then they decide to push..... One by one.... Drop to spectate to see a supernova with six large lasers hiding at at the back miles from the team.

gotta just love event mentality

hey i got that one better. i went into group queue this evening.
first battle i got obliterated by a teammate. checked the name.
unit RSV. oh yeah.... they hate me. they really do.
so that was one TK on purpose.
trash talked em because in the 2 minutes i lived i still out damaged 3 of those 4 guys.

welp. reported.


next battle. RSV again in my team, just without the teamkiller.
so i check one flank, check back to where the VIP is.
and i take 6 dual gauss shots in the back.
RSV unit guy.

the hate is real guys. the hate is real.


on both occasions i did not write a single thing before lol because i dont bother with those noobs.
but hot damn, that was kinda shocking

[4Dboy]

was wondering whats wrong with group players nowadays, saw Alienized got tk in 2 different matches in group play. Best thing is they are from the same group but different players. Does group players encourage this? even though i dunno Alienized, I still feel angry about it.

anyways i just report them as usual

Alienized, I suggest you remove their unit tag from your post, so you don't get whacked for name and shame.

Also, send screenshots and/or video evidence that you were TKed multiple times by people from the same unit to MWO moderation, should get everyone that TKed you a nice ban.

Dusted off two old Gauss builds for today's event, found out two things:

1.) I really don't like Gauss.

2.) Some sort of bug in the system prevented my damage from getting recorded.

Don't think I'll ever touch a Gauss again.

im not really worried about name and shame. some things just need to be pointed out. its still a whine thread and i didnt name the players if the unit name does get me in trouble then it is that way thanks for the hint tho =)

they are reported with the system and i guess, PGI can check it that way as well. i just cant be arsed to report them via mail as well i dont even care about such things lol. not worth the time.

Hi, I saw what happen .. 1 in Crimson and 1 in Frozen ... if the dev dun believe you .. just tell them to ask me . I will tell them what i saw. TK on purpose without provoke.

Some toxic players just gonna get ban i think.

I'm sorry m8 that I didnt have any recording software to record what happen.

FYI this was fixed sometime last night.

On the PTS trying out the new tech....

taking air strikes from the enemy...

having teammates still run up and park right behind me as I'm taking enemy fire...


its freaking 4 v 4, there is PLENTY of room on EVERY map....

I guess some players are really just that bad at the game and at common sense...

Yeah, caught it.
The Gauss challenge still came close to burning me out, I'll take my chances with PPCs and ER LL for now on.

Still finished the challenge pretty strong, found a good comfort zone for most of my mechs... except the two Gauss builds. Re-built and re-purposed as brawlers now.

too much ghost heat on 4 er ppc's.
its just so much fun to alpha with a prime warhawk D: just that insta shutdown... =(

I chain fire mine, the sound of those ppcs cycling is glorious!

[Damnedtroll]

I'm angry to get killed by a clean headshot at over 130kph on my raven from gauss and erppc at 1000m...

Has anyone else become disenchanted with our limited weapons since trying out the civil war PTS? I find myself way too curious about the 3060 clan builds (mostly H, sometimes E or F variants) to really enjoy live server right now.

Will they be releasing the Civil War variants in the near future? There are a lot of alternate hard point lay outs that would really help some of these mechs out (I'm looking at the gargoyle weapon torsos and the Warhawk's 2 energy +1 missile right arm)!

[Bulletsponge0]

Got a new computer (yay!! not a whine)

Can't find where it stores screenshots of good drops (booo! that IS the whine)

That's the default directory

yeah, I looked and that directory doesn't exist lol. Did a standard install, changed nothing about the location of the install and can't find a screenshot.... maybe my computer isn't taking them like I thought it should...



Edit....nevermind...I found them

gauss event + Saturday- I don't usually play that much on Saturday because the play style drives me crazy but hey free mechbay so I make a few drops.

match 1- score is 0-0 after 7 minutes. neither team has budged from their guass sniping point. i'm in a brawler bushwhacker. other team FINALLY moves after they lose 1 mech- think it peeked out for the lrmageddon from the non guass mechs. push finally comes. only good thing is that i'm at 100% still when they get here- vulture 3 kills. actual combat phase lasts about 3 minutes. we win 12-4

match 2- river city- score is 0-0 after 8 minutes. the water is clearly too cold for any mech to enter it from either side. finally our side gingerly dips their toes in- shocking two assaults are in front- assaulting! of course no one follows them til I jump in and they think "ooh medium is pushing, they'll get shot first so we can go in now." push naturally stalls long enough for one enemy lance to come around the other side and start shooting us in the back. another shocker- only/an entire lance turns to face them while the assaults continue to assault on their original front and begin to advance since everyone on the other team is now trying to join the lance behind us. I fire my first shots of the match at this point. we eventually win a messy 12-9 match.

if these "stare across the lines for half the match" thing keeps continuing i'm going to bring my infamous LRM assassin out and lob missiles while everyone waits (actually it does have a pretty good kdr by my standards anyway).

[UnofficialOperator]

After many matches, I've learnt not to flank when another non ecm light decides to tag along because

1. usually exposes himself needlessly
2. almost always touches the enemy base in Assault for no reason
