That's not a rumor. It's been tested.

I had only heard about it during my "Ark Dino poop farming" days so I wasn't entirely certain.

Just got done playing that again for a bit. The new updates were pretty cool, the new caves and content is fun.

I heard that MS tried to play ARK but the dino AI was way much smarter than most CW pug players and they couldn't get 'get in a group, charge level 100 Rex and horde of Raptors and try to punch them all in the face' to work as well as it does in MW:O and so they gave up and came back.

here is some ms stats for shits and giggles

avg kills: 3.97

avg assist: 21.10 (not sure what take from this number, except that the avg MS player touches 25.07 targets )

avg damage: 1278.94 (the avg dam CW wide @ the hardcore unit event was ~960 based on pgi provided #s)

w/l: 87.43% (expecting this to fall during phase 3)

based on 8054 player instances


heres some plots (each dot is a player)

I heard a rumour some guys at MS mumble in their sleep "You.....you guys wanna errrr....buy a mech pack?" And often wake themselves up shouting, "No, Russ, NOOOOOOOOOO"

Also heard a rumour someone has been accepting trades of spicy pork-based products from elsewhere and one pork-based MS member is somewhat salty about it.

Spoiler

Such spread in results is caused by different versions of autoaim used in -MS-.




As you can see from this diagram, most of the players in MS still use the older versions which provide rather poor and unconsistent results, especially compared to the proprietary PGI's "Jesusaim^tm" product.

I heard that a brand new line of MS hacks is rolling out right now:

WubWub Mercstar style.

Saved the wrong picture goddarnit.

I keep telling them to update, but they prefer to remain mediocre.
Also, bow to "The "Other", custom hack masterrace".

I hear people play Community Warfare for one of 2 reasons:

1. To beat MercStar
2. To be like MercStar (because joining a team is bad in a game mode which focuses on team play).

Failing to success like MercStar causes bouts of anger driving players to attempt to destroy MercStar. When they then get crushed by a 12-man MercStar unit, they proceed to abandon Community Warfare, calling it flawed, bugged, and improperly balanced.

That is all.

Isengrim have been keeping track of the FRR as well, though not nearly to the extent/detail that you are doing with MS.


FRR average damage: 1284.1
Number of FRR players recorded: 1,558
Number of data points: 4,337
Average number of matches recorded per player: 2.78

[LORD ORION]

I heard that there will be 2 MS units in Phase 3

Mercstar Inner Sphere (MSIS)
Merstar Clam (MSC.)

And you will pronounce it as "Missus Miscellaneous"

And that they will game the new system all the way to Terra.

MS-R can win a fight without gen rushing.

Got any proof for your bold claims?

[Pat Kell]

It's like the elusive bigfoot, all footage I have is grainy and shot at long range, making it hard to tell if it's MS-R or MJ12...trust me though, it's MS-R

[fbj]

I don't know what is rumor or fact anymore.

I think I drank too much of the Kool Aide PGI gave out.

Rumor has it that -MS- is 2/3 of the community in CW/FW (or whatever the F* they call it now) only -MS- is too afraid to fight itself.

Have you ever tried to hit yourself with a fist to the face? Fighing yourself is way harder than it looks.

[MischiefSC]

I have seen matches where MS shot MS more than the other team does and most the MS losses were TKs and dropship.

Point being that even MS isn't afraid of shooting MS and nobody else should be either.

It's called "rear armor checks"
MS tests it's members every fw drop to see that you have to correct amount of rear armor on your mech
then MS proceeds to DropShipJesus for enlightenment

[MischiefSC]

Go up a few pages. You'll see where I posted the prayer to Dropship Jesus.

I touched Him in an ACH one time. JJed up and bumped His Divine Nose cone before being washed clean in his Pure ERLL Light.

Given that regulation rear armor for MS is <5 pts a 30pt armor check is a bit much.
