MercStar is made up solely of wizards. How do I know this? Because earlier this evening I was in my Ebon Jag, and just drove around a corner. There was a brilliant flash of light (magick of some type, I'm sure), and then I found myself in the dropship. They used some form of translocation spell on me and put me in another mech!

Basically what I'm getting at is magick is OP, and clearly needs to be nerfed.




Damn wizards....

It might come to delay in shipping since our 3D-Modelling Assistent managed to crash the program with the finished product and forgot to save the file. I ask for your understanding and hope that we'll be able to ship it as soon as we can.

MS went to Terra because.... why not. What else is there to do?

MS is more invested in CW than any other group. Hands down. In terms of time and money.

There are no more spoiled brats in MS than any other unit - which is to say ~33%.

PGI makes as much sense to MS as it does to anyone else in this game - which is to say 0%.

Kwea has more actual power in MS than Antonius Rex, largely because he makes every new recruit who joins MS call him 'Big Daddy'.

That is not the most awkward thing that happens on the MS teamspeak on any given day.

Maybe not all of them, but the teams my FRR hub groups met during Tukayyid II fought hard but fair. No camping, no turtling when winning - balls to the wall rushes giving us too some kills. In a community still as small as this you need some sportsmanship to make newbies continue. Smashing them 48-10 and shouting "L2P" in chat isn't the way, unless you just want to drive everyone away so you can rule the wasteland yourself.

On a side note I actually have a serious question for you. By pilot count we are not the largest unit in MWO CWI, SWOL and a few others have larger players counts than us. Why do you say that we have such a large influence when we arnt even the largest....I just want to understand why it is seriously that such vitriol is thrown our way and not at the other groups that are larger than us???

Can you please answer that question for me.



On a side not.....I here that mercstar gets paid in candy!!!

I think it may be because not only are you the most efficient at what you do, you also bring followers in the form of pugs and units who want to just play for "the winning team". So I always count MS as MS + Groupies. So tell me are MS Orks just crossing though different dimensions to bolsters the numbers of other Orks Waaaghs?

Also those larger units, is that based on number of member or number of daily active members for FW?

We can only see player counts for total and active players in units when PGI posts stats following a Tukkayid event, so the active numbers are probably somewhat inflated there. The total player count numbers are more stable and we know from conversations with members of those units which have a larger total count. That's what we base our comparison on more than anything. -MS- (not counting our reserve unit) currently stands in the low 300's for total players. I personally know of at least 3 faction loyalist groups that are maxed out at 512 and have secondary "overflow" units with additional members. Again, these are total members, not an "active" count..

As for active players during non-Tukkayid times we have to rely on what we're told either here on the forums or privately. We're pretty open about our level of activity: on a typical day 1 - 3 full or partial groups during NA primetime, up to 1 full group in other attack phases.

One person who is currently touring a number of factions and dropping with as many different groups as he can (and who is totally not a spy for HHoD) commented privately to me that -MS- is very, very efficient with our numbers. He said that 2 groups of -MS- in FW completes as many drops per hour as 3 groups in virtually all other factions just owing to our organizational efficiency.

So, rumor has it we get more productivity out of our groups, but even with that we aren't exactly flooding the queue and taking planets via ghost drops as some people want to believe. In fact, the only time we've gotten ghost drops at all recently has been when we were playing IS b/c the clan population is so low.

That, more than anything, is why we're back in Smoke Jag now - to get fights.

That's the rumor, anyway.

I hadn't heard of pug "groupies" following us from faction to faction until recently, but someone else mentioned something similar a week or two ago, so I guess it might be a thing. It makes sense. Knowing that we're going to put up an active group every night, you could see where we are and either line up with us or against us depending on your preference.

MS puts up 2, rarely 3 12mans at peak. Normally it's 1 or 2 12mans.

They just drop fast and dunk a lot. Their average match time time is almost 33% less than most units. This let's them drop more with the same size. They'll also sacrifice match score for a fast win.

MS is just crazy efficient. They also have a business-quality approach to onboarding new members. This raises the median per-player performance of MS very quickly. Gives them a universal set of strategies, tactics and expectations so any MS player can drop with other MS players and have the same expectations of what the drop will run like.

Anyone who accuses MS of using aimbots and hacks is an idiot.

That's pretty much every disciplined unit/group an average attack should be over in the first wave then get your pay in the hold territory.

anyway back on point MS use the outlandish rumours to strike fear and demoralise there targets so they either cba to fight them or want to join them. They are actually just normal freeborns that can be driven back with a reasonable force.

If you had facts in the recruitment thread it would include the phrase "you purpose is to be worked until you die, then we will grind your corpse up to feed the next generation of disposable worker drones."

MercStar buys all their mechs with real cash, which makes those mechs better than every other mech in the game.

Breaking up MercStar into its company units will cause a radical shift in the Faction Warfare occupation layout overnight.

Banning MercStar from the game will finally truly bring balance to the force.
