Skill level has nothing to do with why missiles suck in MWO.

Huh?
I mean, I don't feel like streaks and lrms are my favorite weapons,
but huh?

Do you mind telling us why instead of just "this is X".

New mechs, new maps, new balance system coming, new player ranking system coming soon, new game modes. Its still fun. Its not a 70 million dollar game but its fun and there is a steady stream of changes and updates and new things.

This thread is really about weapon balance, go do some searchs on the forum to understand why missiles are inferior to PP(pin point) and PP FLD(front loaded damage) weapons.

if they get the maps and gamemodes in a decent state to go up on steam it will likely save the game.

but if they put it up on steam right now it would fail so bad lol.

There's nothing wrong with missile based mechs.

Some of the strongest/most useful builds I know have missiles.
Though not lrms.

PPFLD is for peekaboo.

No they arent and no PPFLD is not just for pop tarting/poking down.

Then explain it to me.
I only have a very general idea of what is included in the PPFLD category.

Are you saying they spread dmg too much?

Streaks is for lights and the occasional appear-alpha-disappear and facehugging solves the problem for SRMs.

I really don't care about what's in what category as much as overall performance and results.

As much as I rag on PGI the game seems to be doing decent. You either take the game for what it is or not.

Is this player dead/dying?

He came back here yesterday. I find he makes the same troll threads on the same forum about the same topics and with the same terrible responses.

Took me a good 5-6 minutes to actually make a post in the thread.

I'm surprised it isn't locked yet tbh.

Not played for about 6 months.

Came back to it today. I find the same boring game mods on the same boring maps with the same mechs and the same weapons and the same terrible pugs.

Took me a good 5-6 minutes to actually get into a game.

Im surprised it lasted this long tbh

It can't be dead yet! You are still able to ask your question.

Funny thing about this. I had a 2 minute wait a couple times, and hit quit search. and instantly got placed in a match instead of being dropped back to the bay area. :huh:

Hasn't work like that for shorter waits.

I'm just here to make the thread one post longer and show that the game is surely not "dead".

More less every game (except giga-titles like WoW, StarCraft, etc.) is accused of dying on a regular basis by some panicking and/or ill-meaning ... person.
Maybe that's even a sign of a game being alive and kicking :P. If it really was dying, no one would care to ask that question or fantasizing about it dying (people love to see successful things collapse).


Oh and it takes me around 10 seconds to find a game. If it takes longer than 30 seconds, I'm getting nervous and pissed.
