too many assaults in every match, 5+ on average over the last few days. both Clan and IS. it's really making the game miserable to play if you are a medium mech or lighter heavy.


3/3/3/3 or some kind of tonnage limiter in the MM needs to be installed.

plz let this be your top priority.

Want more people to use mediums and lights? I has a solution: http://mwomercs.com/...-3-role-warfare (<-- Just a general idea, not necessarily the 100% absolute implementation).

[Archon]

Really? I've actually seen more heavies and mediums than anything else, as Timberwolves and Stormcrows along with Shadowhawks seem to be the most popular mechs at the moment.

They've been mentioning in the command chair posts and in the dev blogs that the new MatchMaker is already undergoing internal testing and should be hitting the streets within the next month. This includes the rule of threes and other goals. Patience.

the large % of assaults in each match and the tendency of a lot of the players now to turtle behind the biggest rock they can find. makes playing in random groups extremely frustrating. plus you never know if round the next corner is going to end in 3-5 assaults Alpha blasting your face off either...not been much fun

Play private games. There is no need to restrain PUG players just to satisfy someone's whim.

Yeah, the lack of 4x3 has made for some "interesting" drops. Had a drop last night where we had 8 Timber Wolves (confession: I was one as it was what I wanted to start leveling). Seen a lot of Dire Wolf heavy groups too.

I'm just trying to shrug off the bad matches, congratulate the matchmaker for the win, and move on...

No XP in private matches. See how that became a problem?

So what? That's the price for playing by your own rules.

Then play conquest and you will see a lot of lights.

I tend to agree, I love playing my mediums but the games can be pretty uphill when there's too many assaults around. Just gonna have to wait on that 3/3/3/3 or whatever we end up getting.

[Marauder3D]

I was just about to post a similar thread topic. We need role warfare, or 3x4 implemented ASAP. I want to play my mediums and try out the Adder, but man, if the other team didn't have 8 assaults last game. No kidding. They had one light, three heavies, and eight assaults.

Pug life, eh?

Do Private games of just 1v1 still net credits and crap or is it just for practice?

Private games of any kind do not give you any c-bills or XP.

Yeah, they kinda limited the point of radar entirely to much.

I mean, I get they didnt want us to simply have that red square around the target, but ****, we cant even detect or see anything until we have full LoS to the damn thing. The whole point of the radar is to be like Mechcommander..

This is Lynx, ive got a sensor trace! And you get an anonymous blip on the map. it doesnt tell type, size, mech, car, truck or plane, but you know something is there.

Maybe we shouldnt be able to target it till someone else has LoS, but we should atleast know it's there.

[FROGGY CHAIR]

Yep, just played a match with 3 DDCs, a BH, a Highlander, and me in my WHK-A.

They had a few Dire Wolves, but they kinda just.. got dumped on.
