Come to think of it, aren't cats colorblind?

@Chameleon257 not my fault they came over to our front line. My point with the pic we do not choose to fight all-PuG teams, and they when we do get a organized unit against us we can handle our own. caught these guys back to back, both match's were really good fights, but sadly for SROT we prevailed on both match's.



And maybe wanted to........show off a lil bit. As this is the best CW match I've had yet. Been above 2k meany a times, but not this much.......forgot to take a pic of what I made, but it was 900,126

IlClan is of no concern to us. Deal with them yourselves if you are that worried about them.

this is what happens with current level of abuse of certain game mechanics (Merc contracts), tactics (zerg rush, spawn camp), mechs (TDR, SCR, TBR) and poorly designed maps (2-3 gates only ...no flanking).

..hopefully they will continue to patch and improve with some of the excellent suggestions that have been floated

It's official, Clan Wolf is sliding to Terra on their own tears.

My point was we lose planets because of other factions fighting and either intentionally losing because eh it's not their border or just not good enough to hang in there. Be honest here, if your guys or even the merc units faced empty cues would you stay there until it was 100% capped? Maybe, maybe not you should hear my guys when we're trying to pull attackers off an attack cue to defend a planet. "OMG not another ghost cap hope we get a match; they need to get off that world come defend theirs etc." Honestly I'd like it better if Kurita defended against clan on Kurita boarders, FRR defend their own and Steiner defend theirs. I feel there would be a much different map then there is today.

Understandable behaviour. Best to focus on/win one front than to spread insufficient forces on all fronts. The Ghost Bears had a ceasefire where our game plan was juggled between too many war fronts (the Wolf-Bear conflict played a large part in this), and not only did we not make any gains, but we lost a system to FRR and destabilized the fronts of all other clans, preventing them from making gains themselves.

Until you guys are able to bolster your numbers, it's probably inevitable that you'll slowly hemorrhage territory to other factions (especially after Marik's deep-space raid... how the heck did that happen anyways??? ). So in this situation, focusing on and winning a minimal percentage of war fronts is your best bet! Only other alternative is 100% territory loss every ceasefire. Personally, I hope you guys get your ranks increased soon. Best of luck!

I can not wait for the day when CSJ stands on the Davion border. I would love to rip into it with NS on our flanks...

I have a great deal of respect for the organized Dragon forces.. they are very tough to fight. I Know I have to put my game face on and not waste anything when going against them.

I hope that we get to see a lot more of you guys shortly (honestly) I occasionally like pug stomp but they are boring IMHO. Give me a great match against AtomicCore or one of the other great players. that's what is fun. Salute.

We're not crying! It's just summer in the Draconis March and our allergies are flaring up! Jerk!

[ZenFool]

Fyi, we had a number of guys who had never dropped CW and were showing them what we do. We were far more interested in describing our tactics than winning, hence the drop on foreign soil. With a unit as large as ours, your not always gonna get our a team. You'll run into our more comp. units soon and probably won't screenshot that one. If you want a rematch, why don't you get through Jade Falcon space. We'll be waiting.

What concerns me are population levels overall. We used to have 40+/40+ on Liao, Marik and sometimes Kurita all at once.

Now its rare to see more than 24 on a border on either side. Not just a Davion decline but all sides. Kurita is "overwhelming" us with 36 total players spread over 2 worlds last night.

I am significantly concerned that the big merc units are most of the games population right now.

It may have something to do with the Davion units defending Kurita from the Clans instead of defending... themselves... from... Kurita?

Anyway, good job vs the FedSuns.

I know the reason why I stopped dropping CW is that roughly 90% of the matches don't even matter. So you spend 30 minutes waiting for a drop, drop, and then it doesn't matter if it's not right before the ceasefire.

The ceasefire mechanic needs to go. Just change it up to total percentage or something (and ghost drops don't count, so you actually have to drop against 12 other mechs). I mean, I do this for fun on the side - I can't be there during that golden area right before a ceasefire. Seriously a world can go from 100% owned to 100% captured in that little window, it doesn't matter if you've won 90/100 games: if you lost the last 10, that world's changing hands.

That makes it pointless for anyone not dropping during that window. And that? That is why I stopped dropping in CW - time's better spent in PUG matches and playing around with fun, rarely-used mechs rather than a boring parade of FS As and 9Ses versus an endless stream of Crows and Timberwolves.

You guys use to give us really good fights for hours, would even keep trying to push us when we would get a planet to 100% if there was still time to go till ceasefire.......Now you guys fight us till we get it to 100% and then you ninja vanish, when there is still plenty of time felt to try an change it.

I mean I know were good, just did not think we were that dominating over you to demoralize you like that.




Come back, we did no mean to be so ruff with you...

I am only speculating, but I expect the answer is more towards the "or what" than discouragement. What does that mean exactly? Well, I think it means that Kurita expects that Mercs will not likely renew contracts where they can't find a fight...and...well...they are right. So, when the Mercs are gone, what do you think will happen then?
