UT OH!! We got EPEEN goin on around here!!!!!!

but seriously....1500 damage and only 3 kills? SLOPPY!!!!
I prefer my matches like this

after all, it's not the size of your match score, but how you use it, that matters!

BTW..no poptarting was involved in this score, or LRMs (or anything meta). (this was pre-LRM buff anyhow)... just a very angry Orion with an ac10 and 4x aSRM4s and a lot of ammo. (was actually mostly just happy to do that without running out of ammo, since I have no energy weapons on that build at all! It got REALLY dicey at the end, lol!)

Bishop, come on man...you didn't reach out and touch EVERYBODY? Real pros play like this when they carry hard 6xML and 2xAC5 4life.



And Bloodwolf, the first part of my post is 'insulting' to you because I couldn't believe your hubris.

Your original thread asked for people's opinions on the current state of the game versus where it was in 2010, in summary form. DOZENS of people did just that...and some people trolled you. In response you DELETED the entire thread, along with everyone's comments and started a new one saying "THE LAST ONE DIDN'T FIT MY CRITERIA."

Except that they did. They fit your criteria exactly...which leads us to believe you simply didn't like the answers you received. That's a move I found disrespectful, and the majority of posters in your current thread also found it to be in poor taste.

The title of this thread makes the part of me that paid attention in English class writhe in pain.

[Tombstoner]

WOW what a great way to treat the posters to your thread.... by deleting there work.
Some people take longer then other to make a complete sentence.... some posts could take an hour or more to write.
they you just delete them.... nice.

In the beginning there was the Creation Myth (4 Design Pillars). People really liked how it all sounded and the few nagging questions ("What are 'stealth mechs' that are mentioned in Role Warfare?") and the like were swept under the rug in a huge wave of optomism.

Then we entered Closed Beta, the Pax Piranha. Everything was butterflies and unicorns and PGI was lauded with praise and the few dissenters were shouted down with cries of "It's Beta!". People were convinced that everything was a placeholder from maps (and map sizes), red squares, mech skill trees, etc and they would all be replaced with something glorious. There was some claims that the game was not ready for Open Beta, not that it mattered since everyone who had made a forum account was accidentally sent a Beta key.

Then the game Launched. Groups were splintered. During CB and OB groups tried to organize themselves for Community Warfare, which was right around the corner. Everyone felt that they had to get READY and develop TACTICS, for surely the other Houses were doing the same. But as time went on winning became less important than earning Cbills and CW was replaced by mech collecting.

Then the Dark Age began. PGI stopped interacting with it's customers. Unpopular decisions, such as ECM, were never openly discussed with the community. Poptarting, something they acknowledged as an issue from earlier MW games, was allowed to be the dominant meta for months without a word. There was no mention of CW and many started to think it was just Vaporware. The forums became a dark place.

Finally we come to the present, the Age of (Forum Only) Warfare. Topics that were once proposed as helpful suggestions (sized hardpoints, various ways to deal with convergence and heat) have become rants. There are more theorycrafting posts about how the game 'should be' then there are posts about how the game 'is'. People who enjoy playing with their friends flock to the forum to complain since it is the only place that more than four, but less than twelve, players can interact in the game.

This oddly is a parody of the succession wars... i hope the "Dark" Age of (Forum Only) Warfare ends soon.

[Jason1138]

my overview of this game is that PGI has committed willful and criminal fraud against the userbase by continuously promising things that they aren't even working on in order to try to get people to buy various mech packs for real money, to play in those features that PGI will never implement

i honestly, 100% serious, think that Russ should be in jail

I left out the part about the large groups leaving MW:O but vowing to return when they were needed, but yeah.

To improve the forums PGI needs to explain why they are making the changes that they are making, and how these changes fit into their view of the game as a whole. Not just say, 'Hey guys, AC/5s are now longer range than AC/2s!' They should state, 'This is how we see the role of the AC/2 and the AC/5 and this is why we made these changes. Now put your feedback in the right place or we will just delete your posts.'

it sure would help feedback end up in the right place if they didn't deliberately make the forums as confusing as possible

anytime buddy, your not the first to get high damage and good kills. I have gotton more than 5 in a match. That proves nothing, as a match can go any way. Accept my challenge, when private matches come i will show you the difference bewteen us. You will be fighting me without team support or distractions.

I dont boast with screenshots, rather i will show you firsthand that i am the Wolf above you.

He's asking you to provide a screenshot, like he did, instead of spouting off more empty words.

screen shots will not prove anything. Rather i already issued a formal challenge which he can accept or refuse, Private matches are around the corner and all are welcome to spectate. I dont need screens, i will prove firsthand.

The heirs of Kerensky have returned.... with the clan invasion (coming soon) ... hopefully average player population will rise and with them, new and terrifying (game breaking weapons).

The UCA-2 is too dam good.... like we said +2 years ago. thats the only reason to change range....well the only thing PGI is willing to change that is.

What would a screen prove?, I have those somewhere on the clan wolf forums, and only the best games were recorded. Not every match, just the ones that the lance excelled. Im sure you dont always get damage in every match; Not only that but would you get that damage on a 1v1. You might have pummeled a mech that was focused on another mech. Screens dont show the whole situation. Just be ready to hear from me when PM's get here at the end of the month. In short they dont tell me if you took the mech down by yourself.

4 Pillars were promised, two of which "appear" to be functional

+ Mech Warfare
+ Information Warfare

but we are still missing

- Role Warfare
- Community Warfare

So I guess that 50% sums it up.
