I really miss the days of the 8 mans. Most of the games were competitive and close. Then the 'crowds' appeared. It hasn't been the same since.

8 mans were superior for fun.

You only proved that in a sea of bad mechs and bad players, the side with the best mechs and the best players won.

So no. You're all gonna have to upgrade to good robots soon. All those worthless trashmechs will eventually fade out of CW, because they're a liability, and the bads will abandon CW once they realize that they have no chance against even passable drops.

all you've proven is that you're not as smart, witty, and cute as you think you are. Excuse me if I dont' bow before your "wisdom" oh great and all-knowing sage of MWO

I do well for myself in solo... but that's not saying much. I also have bad games. I don't think I'm great... but I think I downplay myself a bit because I don't want much expected out of me. Sometimes, you'll see "gud" players in solo queue and people are clawing at the chance to suck them off and blanket them with compliments and then you're expected to carry... bleh

I'll solo drop in CW because I don't really know anyone in game aside from Triban... and I'll get annoyed... but I know what I'm getting myself into before I even bother to queue... I've joined units but they end up being empty 90% of the time and people aren't doing anything except solo queuing themselves. I guess I should look around for a late night type of group but meh...

First CW match and my 1st mech in drop deck (a Mist Lynx) got 1000+ damage and 4 kills.

Get on my level Vassago!

Now that we have CW, it's apparent that a large number of gold elite roleplaying clanners are finding that they're not as hardcore cool as they thought.

This is a result of playing in the kiddie pool for too long. Consult the following picture, which I made in the dark days of 2012.



It remains as relevant to this day as when it was made. In CW, there are no mechanics to protect you from those living on the peak. If you find yourself assaulting a planet held by mega tryhards, who are actually good, it's probably better to leave them alone, or wait for your faction's actual tryhards to go and challenge them.

Yes, you need a team to do anything in CW.
Yes, you need to bring good builds.
Yes, most of what you've been telling yourself for years were simply lies.
No, you're not a special snowflake.
No, you can't bring 4 lights and win.
No, you can't play 'counter-meta,' or 'against the grain,' or bring 'escort lights.'
All these can be voided, but if you do, you're gonna have a miserable time, and after losing your faction so many planets and games, people will hate you quite a lot.

If you feel that you can't take it in CW, both the old drops remain available. Like during the 8 manz, not everybody is cut out for this.

that kind of attitude is what kills player bases. bankruptcy is not far away if you cater to one group exclusively.

[Frenche6]

Vassago Rain, you make quite a few posts per week. Most of them however have very little to do with the improvement of the game, but instead you just bash on players. Why even post if you are not going to be even a little productive?

I turned 7 LORDs to scrap today, and almost single handily beat a 12 man.

Nah im that good.



No. Vassago is good.

Who cares? He's an awful forum troll and he's probably twelve or at least he acts like it and draws like it, if only he was as good of an artist as he is a forum troll.....he probably wouldn't be playing a video game....just sayin

I don't get people sometimes. I had a chance to have a match with Olympic fencers. It was a great learning experience. I would have liked to continue having bouts with them, even though I was no where near their level.

All I keep hearing is "I'm bad and I want to stay bad".

Uhh yeah question from the majority of the player base: "what is wrong with you people?"

"I came to the forums to talk **** about every single player in MWO because I know them all personally."

I dunno, I'm a solo queue only player and I feel like I'm slightly above average at best, I haven't experienced a single moment of even slight frustration at the lack of matchmaker here. Been on two teams of solo only players against teams of 10+ in a unit and won both times. Haven't gotten under 1k damage yet.

Not really sure what function the OP serves except trash talking and intentionally instigating.

Seems you have already determined his function.

it's called trolling.
Vass is very bad at it. Hopefully it winds up in K Town where it can get the attention it deserves. Vass doesn't really know how to be constructive I think.

Sad thing is underneath all his trollyness he has some decent ideas sometimes.

I've seen it happen twice now with these types of games, you do not lie. This kind of junk attitude should be jumped on by PGI immediately. it's toxic and it spreads.

And look at all the people that liked the OP's post.......it just boggles the mind.....they actually don't get it...and they never will

Vassago actually did outline some good points. It's just hard to take seriously with all the trollish type behavior, but the OP isn't without at least some semblance of truth.

Thanks, I will. It just sucks to see this happen immediately as soon as CW comes out. It's like they think they are the only people this game is made for....like they are the only people who like mechwarrior/battle tech. I'm not going to sit by and watch them ruin this game. Ok soapbox off. Carry on.
