Maybe you should join one of the existing teams. There are players all over the world that you can group up with -- both casually, and with more competitive mindsets.

As for the Atlas, use Endo Steel.

Yeah, you'll get that in random PUG games. It would be nice if there were easier ways to communicate with your team.
Also, since your connection has been so terrible, you are probably pretty low on the ELO scale. As you get better (and a solid internet connection helps), you'll climb out of that pit.

The rewritten matchmaker should limit some of the worst mismatches we see now. Unfortunately, there is no better answer -- MWO will only improve so fast because there are so many things to finish and fix with limited resources.

In addition to forum recruitment and community teamspeak servers, you can simply add people you meet in matches. That will help with scheduling as many only play at certain hours.

Why MWO not wish me with happy birthday

At this screenshoot i see the light at the end of the tunnel

Texture bug? )

And one fun things ... I play on river city night, and shoot on targeted mech at 1km with er ppc and gauss (i not see him), and add to him damage, but when i come close i see he stay safe at wall and i cant hit him when i see it wall (And i dont like river city map D:)

[Modo44]

The tunnel on Crimson Strait is bugged. Not everything is rendered properly in it -- including invisible mechs at certain angles. It also has invisible openings that allow strikes to hit through the rock.

The "magical" shot sounds like you hit the mech before it was hidden (possibly due to lag compensation), or when it was leaning out to shoot.

Guys idk what do with my ECM atlas, fun play with friend but they fust tired from MWO and delete it, but when i play with rundom guys they some times more faster dead then i come ... Place max std engine cost many tonns, XL on atlas = fast dead ... Hight range weapons ... hmmm

It's dangerous to go alone! Take this. Stay with your team and be patient during the "hide behind a rock and get liquored up" phase of the match, then move in and crush the enemies once your team or theirs actually starts to move against the opponent. It takes practice, because pure brawling is hard, but that build is one of my two favorite brawling setups.

And about low back armour ... when i put 10 or low ally destroy me or my weapons D: I not block they vision, may be they have x9999999999999999 zoom and not see me

Some people are just careless, but often when you get shot in the back it's because they don't realize how wide their 'Mechs are. Atlas pilots - ironically - are often the worst about this. If you're moving in front of teammates, try to leave a corridor in front of them where they can fire. Some people are also trying to fight with computers that cannot take the strain of combat, so their machines hang on their end even though the game isn't lagging.

I interesting, sometimes when i out of ammo at my cplt a1 and my team dead i go and hide (i not want free dead) and some noob say where i at fps board (i stay offline), game have no rule about hide at out ammo? Then i want report this guy, i think not only me want not see that guys at game, they at 100% games have bad score and not play in team (my observation)

The "noob" is right to do so. You're hiding is griefing all other players as they now have to wait until they find you or the 15 minute timer expires.

Don't want to run out of ammo? Take more ammo, be more conservative firing, or take a laser with you (yeah, yeah A1 can't take lasers - so pilot a C1).

Out of ammo and still want to contribute? Go tank - get shot at, so teammates with working weapons get shot less. This is what I do when out of ammo.

Z-buffer bug, guarantee it.

Lol i have c1 too, but after 2k+ missles left only some minutes, and i think this guys have more mech in which they can dead again And i try tanked, but mechs teleported when i collision they (

[TheCaptainJZ]

there might be strategic value with weapon-less mechs. Weaponless mechs can act as decoys or meat shields or cap. Depending on the circumstances, this could lead to a win, although highly uncommon. Also, calling out friendly coords is always against the ToS and CoC whereas shutting down and hiding only is if you absolutely didn't participate in the battle at all. You are allowed to do so in conquest or assault so long as it's at the end and you did your part. In fact, it could make the difference between you winning or losing. Skirmish would be different since they have to kill you or wait the full 15 mins.

Well, it might be the same build - been a while since I've watched the video. But that Atlas build is pretty standard - If you're running a "fast" Atlas brawler, and go with SRM6s, the only choice you have is what proportion of AC/SRM ammo to bring. Most cookie-cutter builds develop like that, in any game - basically the game's design mechanics will push you toward points of equilibrium based on what you're trying to do. In WoW, for example, I used to look at the talent trees when building a new character or adapting to a change, and then check the accepted optimal builds at ElitistJerks.com - I was never more than two points off. It's just a matter of looking at what things do and how they work together.

advertsing breaking the griefing rules

[Tim East]

I'm pretty sure that hiding is a legitimate strategy in the event that you can't fight anymore for whatever reason. Sure, there's the desire to end a match early and get on to a new one, but if you're trying to run out the clock in hopes for a win on points, that's fair game. I just can't really condone the suicide thing, since it gives the enemy team the win, which is the same as not trying as hard as you can. Now on the other hand, if I have so much as a peashooter left on my machine, I'll happily charge at the enemy hoping to eke out a few more damage c-bills, but for gun-less wonders, there really isn't a point in hurrying the match along.

/edit: I don't give two figs about stats, looking at mine will show that. I just find it philosophically unethical to try anything less than your best.

Closing for a moment, to remove the exchange between Shar Wolf and Void Angel

So... to make it clear...
Team treason is indeed a bannable offense. Advertising it on the forums, even more so on the New Player Help section is unacceptable.

Those rules are not suggestions. The rules are valid for everyone, if they agree with them in detail or not. I don't care for the reasons on why some are breaking the rules, I will not allow them to advertise such a behavior on the official MWO boards.

If you want to continue such a discussion, you will need to take it to PMs or to another website.

Now please get back to the original topic!

New design of Mech Lab funny



And i interesting about "new" mechs, at first i think for donators gold and prime version, but other can buy all ... I cant buy other variants?

[TheCaptainJZ]

They will be available for MC and later cbills, but not right away. Check the schedule here: http://mwomercs.com/...lease-schedule/

As you can see, the last one isn't available for cbills until November.

Those that pre-ordered (and you can still buy packs for now) will be able to pilot their clan mechs for at least a month and a half before just the kit fox is available for cbills.
