Clan x IS win ratio for the clans: 53%
Clan lost 50 planets last event (even with the bug)

IS players still whines and cries "CLAM OP"

[Koniks]

Clan still won 6% more games despite having a potential tonnage imbalance even with all the IS quirks and "OP" mechs.

Clans lost planets because of a game mode flaw that has nothing to do with balance.

6 pages on this thread and YOU could not be bothered to read a single post nor Russ's explanation of what actually took place.

I do fear for the Clans with this sort of mentality being rather prevalent amongst the faction. Alek and Nick are both undoubtedly doing barrel rolls in their graves, quiaff?

See this, below, it sums up nicely what was in those 6 pages of posts, had you bothered to read them.
Ah well, Smoke Jaguar was never known for their ability to take the time required to do something correctly the first 10 times, so I guess this is to be expected.

Very nice summation.

Well....didnt the IS beat the clans in the lore with.....bigger numbers?

So...working as intended it seems.

This user you are talking to must of ignored the entire pacific conflict in World War 2 in History Class.

The user he was referring too, is from Germany - means i really had to ask google about something called WW II. Never heard of it in school (must have been a defect of my treacher can't say)

Anyhow - this my friends is not War -this my friends is called community warfare - its a game. So it has to meet the aims of a Game not war.
In words:
for example we may have 12 of the very best players fighting against 72 of average quality.
If you keep stuff at it is currently - you only get 84 guys that are pissed.
The 12 that they are stomp the enemy on every battle but loose the planet- the guys that are stomped and those guys that made ghost drops the full evening.
So keep your "real war" comparisons for yourself - there is no place in a game like MechWarriorOnline
(there could be a place - when you get a storyline)

I'm not saying "this is war" bla bla bla, this is a game and I totally agree with that, I just wanted to call out bullshite on his "quantity always wins over quality" talk.

Balance is important and the only games I've seen where Numbers are needed for a faction to win..and no one get pissed.. is RTS and Table Top.

So basically Kurita and NKVA are waking off their E-Peens over ... finding and exploiting a bug in the system and breaking the game..

This is hilarious to me.

When has it ever not been about exploiting in this game? The more things change the more they stay the same.

[That Dawg]

so, what am I supposed to do, sell off all my clan mechs and rebuy stuff I mastered out two years ago, but then sold because clan mechs were better, or wait longer till the next wave of uber mechs is released and they quirk the clan mechs and nerf the new ones? Dump clan mechs now, buy IS, but then sell off the IS when the next wave comes out, or buy clan mechs then cause they'll nerf the new ones?
wait..will they buff the original IS mechs even more then? So dump all the clan crap and buy the equally good IS?
Will my camo patterns still be in style?

Will Russ still not answer our tweets unless they are softballs right over the plate??

If I had a grand, right now to spend, could I get a mech named after me?
