Oh yeah I know how to deal with it.

It's to drink the tears of all the QQ on the forum from the likes of the OP.

And then he simply mutes you in chat. Seriously, this is one of those areas where all you do is look like a total Dbag. Because as stated....you have a simple option of disconnecting, picking another mech and dropping in another match.

Sorry but you can't all just DC. You have to finish playing the game unless you are dead.

The guys that stick around after they are dead and whine about a game dragging on are probably newbs who don't realize they can leave and still get their payout. The 'Quit Match' button doesn't offer a lot of details and can be a little counter-intuitive.

Honestly, never care what the other team is saying. I can disable all chat if that was to bug me.

My reference is to the already dead wankers complaining. Obviously.

Hmmm, you may be right, though usually to listen to them they are all uber-1337 pro gamers, which is why they are so able to tell you what you should do.

I don't care about dead wankers complaining either o/

And you can't disco and drop in another match?

Sounds like a bigger derp.

Goes both ways Bishop, there's games that are winnable by the last mech standing (4 enemies remaining are roasted) and there are games that your not gonna win 3 fresh a few beat up.

As for dropping another match.. dunno never been in a scenario where your trying to grind out that ONE mech? It gets frustrating waiting for it to unlock at times. I myself don't complain, I usually alt tab and browse the web but still it's annoying to see that 1 light rushing around when he has no chance.

This comes up from time to time. Basically, don't go in the corner and shutdown. As long as you are actively playing they can yell until they turn blue in the face, you're within your rights to approach the remainder of the game as you wish. Again, just make sure you are actively doing something.

Firstly, even if I can't win, I can go down swinging, and at least enjoy a better match, maybe get another kill or 2 in.

Secondly, yup, I have been grinding,many a time. And I still will just grab another mech I either need to grind, or just like to play, and go with it. Me wanting to grind ain't a good enough excuse for me to harass other people who are playing. Hiding, disco, etc, fine. But anytime someone wants me to "just go and die", they can kiss my butt.

Why is it illegal to suicide when you are winning? I have certainly overheated myself or stubbed my toe till death (fall damage going down a hill) rather than spend 10 minutes searching for a powered down locust...

Wouldn't win much if everyone but you is suiciding.

Vids on YouTube showing Mechs making a last stand against 4+ and winning tells me the match ain't over 'til it's over.

I have taken an 8-11 to a draw by not giving up. Epic battle, so if anyone want to try that, go nuts. Can be FUN to watch as well.

I think the reason for the Grief has been expanded with the addition of Modules. When one says, just DC and take another Mech, many may have all their "current" module pool on that Chassis. It happens to myself as well, although Mod are not the be all, to end all, a nice RadDerp and Seismic pair is quite nice to have on-board and not everyone can be expected to have them on "every" chassis.

That is, of course, not an excuse to be a douche' to others, but just another reason many don't like to "just DC" like is asked.

I've never seen someone report the position of someone who was actively moving for position.

Yeah. though I am not sure you can say that the last mech running to hide in the base anything but refusing to engage when it's 11-3. (OPs words)

[Trashhead]

I had instances were i was the last man standing of my team, and my actions depend on what game mode i am in and how many enemies are left.

Skirmish, in a slow mech:
- many opponents left, tightly packed-> Leeroy Jenkins
- many opponents left, split up -> try to make some damage before i die
- few opponents left, tightly packed -> if i can hide until they are splitting up, i will, then try to get a single enemy at a time; else -> Leeroy Jenkins
- few opponents left, split up -> try to get kills

Skirmish, in a fast mech:
- no matter how many enemies, i will try to split them up and cause some damage, maybe even get a kill

All other game modes:
- i will try as best as i could to split them up, even if this means i have to hide for a minute or two, then try to cause damage.
- worst case: i will hide near our base; since it's not Skirmish, they could either cap or try to find me.


I do understand why the living enemies want me to stop playing cat and mouse.
But as long as i see a chance, i will play the mouse.
If they don't want to play the cat, thats not my problem.
I am not their b*tch.

I absolutely do NOT understand why my dead teammates want me to stop playing the mouse.
Same with dead enemies (unless they wait for their still living buddy, maybe, but since i always play PuG-queue and alone, there shouldn't be pre-made teams, anyway).
Seriously, why don't you just leave the match and find yourself another game ?
What (valid) point am i missing ?
Is there a valid point ?
If so, please tell me.

Works both ways. It's not your game. So dragging out a match when so many more people probably want it over is a little selfish.

That's why matches have a timer, when you drop, always expect it to last the full 15 (or 30 as in CW) minutes. If it lasts less time than that, consider it a bonus and be happy, if it takes the full time, well, you expected that so there is no reason to rage.

Exactly.

This whole thing *might* be an issue if we were forced to stay until the last guy dies.

Because a dead person can leave the match at any time, it's not even an issue. Even free players get 4 mech bays, so they can switch mechs too. Heck, if you are leveling one mech and don't want to jump into another, go mess in the mechlab, skill tree, take a look at CW map, play in smurfy, or go do something w your wife / family / gf.

You can leave the match.

This is a non-issue to me. Ignore the trolls Fen.

So lighten up. Francis

Couldn't have said it better.
It always makes me sad when people turn what should be an enjoyable experience into a mind numbing grind.

[Catra Lanis]

Let's make it based on percentage. The first team that get's a 20% lead in kills autowins. That way we don't have to play so much. Yes I have seen active mechs been subject to team treason, a lot lately.

Ghogiel: "It's to drink the tears of all the QQ on the forum from the likes of the OP."

I seem to have touched a nerve. Did I hurt your self-esteem?


"Because DCing while still alive is griefing and againt the ToS duh"

Who said anything about DCing? You want the lone pilot to give up when the game is "over" at 11-1, why won't you when its 8-4? Everyone "knows" its over, so by your own logic you are just being selfish by prolonging the match....

You also never explained why you can't just move on to a new match instead of whining about the wait. Why again? Just to see your scores? You're going to grief some guy just so you can get your accomplishment-porn 5 mins faster? What a loser.

Some people want to use just one mech.

Would it be polite not to make 23 strangers wait on you, if they might want to get on with their day? Yea, it would be polite.
