This thread is so not PC...


It would also explain why I also like Hetalia, God that show is funny.


Speaking of Hetalia, I have been saying this over and over again, we need a Mechwarrior version of Hetalia.

What is pretty interesting is that peek-shoot-withdraw while camping is not overly good a tactic in WoT either. Aggressive gameplay seeking to claim the initiative and map control and hold it combined to good situational awareness and reacting tactically(if only by repositioning) wins games there the best too. (I'm pretty sure, I can win over 60% solo at all tiers but 10. I guess I need better Tier 10s )

I cant claim to have noticed any difference between MWO NA and EU servers... I guess the vast majority of players are the same any way. I'm from basically the furthest place in EU one can get and still enjoy a perfectly playable latency of ~120 to NA server.

That said, and while I don't have first hand experience, it is widely though among WoT players that NA players gravitate a lot more towards the better/more "meta" in-game vehicles and equipment and work together somewhat more especially compared to the (apparent) wild chaos that are RU servers, but somehow the great NA players/streamers/tryhards/whatnot have all or nearly all had trouble on the EU server and have been mostly unable to reach performance similar to their NA accounts'.

PSA: For intense matches and good teamwork don't play on german prime time!



we're all drunk, you know...

[King Arthur IV]

guys it's obvious. In mwo, American players statistically use more cheats then any other region of players.

I love a Good Roast!!! Makes me want to Jump on Pal talk, a site where you just sit there and insult each other mercilessly!

[Mazzyplz]

there are certainly differences between both servers; but you cant generalize - and the muricans who are celebrating forget that south americans have also been inflating their score, south americans top athletes in all sports everyone knows it

anyhow, you cant over generalize the european server either; i am sure the italians use roman-like discipline with their tactics and min max their loadouts. in fact i know some italian players from MWO and also cod who min max the game like nobody's business and they play really focused real disciplined.

i would also say the russians might have some very good players in their ranks.

maybe the germans are going full prussian and expecting to line up all the muskets before giving the firing order on different enemy units




so civilized.


the thing about german players i think is that they play more for pure fun at least that's the vibe i get from their streams and videos, and their loadouts will be more casual, joke builds or troll mechs

Once on Pal talk with my Bro in Law we were insulting this Lady who was giving as good as she gets having beers and Cracking up when his Girlfriend walked in the room about 15 ft. away. I shart you not these ******** saw her come in the room from the computer camera and started ripping her hard. She took it well as she knew what we were doing but left the room rapidly. It was a Blast.

It's starting to dawn for me that most of my bad games happen earlier in the day, when the Americans are sleeping and there's almost only Europeans (based on ping) that are in my team.
Later in the day, evening/night, my games pick up considerably and I'm grouped with competent people that play as a team and communicate.

Again, not trying to be mean or anything, besides, I'm European myself.

Anybody else that have this experience?

I have similar experience, daytime - early evening can be somewhat straining. (Not always tho)

However I don't think your deduction is correct, I am just guessing that daytime player pool is so very thin that Elo / PSR spread is so horrible that you get also the trackball playing population with those who have upgraded to a mouse.
Addition of early evening US population beefs up population on all skill levels and I'd imagine also the more experienced players who have gotten away from the toils of day generally play later evenings, jobs and other responsibilities you know.

When I made "This is mechwarrior Online" I got to spectate both amercican and england/germany based teams.

What I noticed is that the american teams played a LOT more aggressive, which has lead to more intense brawls but way less tactics and movement. It basically came down to who had the better weapons or the most luck in winning the 1v1 trades.

The european units tend to go in way more thought through and sometimes wouldnt move at all. Sniping over the whole map was a thing and they monitored their enemy's movement very close.

Thats the difference between EU and NA gaming groups that I experienced

Yet there isn't an EU team that's as good as SJR or EmP. Yes i know they have some EU players but for the most part they are NA teams.

CW during European times is quite a bunch to hear from the voice chat, people barking orders in English with accents --- British, Russian and German are recognizable and are among the most often I hear. Given those times also have Asiapac players in all nighters, you can also hear Australian and Chinese accents.

Wow that baddies talking ENGLISH with a BRITISH accent how dare they

Ever since I saw seven EU teammates chasing after a single Locust early in the match, I decided that yes, EU players do suck in comparison with whoever I queue with in NA server.

This is why I selected EURO and Oceanic to do the Blood Moon event.
Even though I get 300ms++ on Euro.. LOL..

Well, I've seen a few games on the EU server where people stuck with peek and shoot until the end while using coms to call out targets. Even if the rushers or frontliners die and they are down 3-4 mechs they stick with it and eventually pull it back for a win. They were pretty calm and recovered and finished without any problems.

There is no British accent.

There are English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish accents.

Noticed the languague barrier is a problem. Only a few talk English or understands it.
