I haven't bothered with cw in months.

[CDLord HHGD]

To hell with your list and self-assured superiority. I will bring whatever damn mech I please and I will not succumb to the meta until PGI comes out and says matter-of-factly that they want nothing but meta.

Until that happens I will continue to rant against the meta and give PGI ideas and solutions on how to nerf your holier-than-thou @sses.

succumb to the meta LOL

and you in one foul swoop describe why so many people hate CW and what it has become.

no tactics except do A B and C

no mech choice except A B and C

do as i say or your a complete and utter waste of humanity


no fun

no thinking

just meta and deathblobbing

your post is bad and you should feel bad.

One thing the OP NEVER mentions is that to do well in CW, JOIN A GROUP. Joining a group/unit should be first advice given when wanting to play in CW.

Dropping solo into a group/unit focus part of the game you are already a hindrance.

Considering playing CW again...... just to F with people that take it too seriously.

Great way to build a community by actively seeking them out to intentionally grief them.

You are an asset to MWO and humanity in general.

If large teams rofl-stomping random PUG's wasn't a key part of CW, I'd be more inclined to believe them. Any game mode that hands out wins for higher-level players by pitting them against far less coordinated and skilled opponents is not "hard mode" - it's "epeen mode" or "tryhard mode."

If key part being that 12man units are 1% or less of the CW population, then yes.

Maybe it is finally time for a stop gap to prevent these far less coordinated and skilled players from entering the coordinated and skilled area of the game?

For there own protection of course since they cannot make these decisions for themselves.

Or find just doing better than before instead of just recycling whatever you've always done, fun.

Kind of like the people that complain about NASCAR on these forums and yet cannot come up with a tactic that isn't?

Funny to see those very same people complain and then be the ones to use it in game and have the team use it.

It is funny. Some people get sucked up into games and they become obsessions. Others have a pathological need to prove their superiority at everything from video games to tabletop RPG's, to blowing their nose. Everything is a contest, and they have to be "the best" at everything. I've found such people intolerable to be around for any length of time because they are miserable creatures who will turn everything into epeen competition. And there's no shortage of that in CW.

Some people are just competitive by nature. Its not required to be a **** about it, but for example i really, really dont like losing, and given that my father and sister both have Olympic medals, i think that there is a fairly wide competitive streak running through my family.

Nothing wrong with wanting to win at everything you do, as long as you take responsibility for it when you lose, and dont blame others/circumstances.

There should be 2 CW modes. 1 for groups / units and one for solos, separated by game mode and playstyle

Well said 100 % agree

Eff that, I run Thunderbolt 5SS, Cent AH, Cicada X-5 and Griffin Sparky as my drop deck and consistently come in at least 2nd/3rd on damage/score from both teams and I'm not particularly good.

Whaaa? thats incredibly underweight. Id advise swapping the X-5 for something heavier (70+ tons)

[Ghogiel]

Meta is just adaptation. It really doesn't matter what mech or weapons are used at any one time because balance changes (at PGI snail pace). [redacted]

Much farm would be had since there is no MM in CW. It's first come first served for spots.

A bunch of units/players sit in TS. looks at queue. Everyone in the TS presses launch at same time on same planet. Everyone gets into same match. ggclose

I guess everyone is mad at me. I am describing what I see this weekend and its effects. How about rebutting the premise and not the sentiment?

Maybe if you re-worded this part of the OP, it is very Douche' ish, some just might. Until then, it was very much just a "Douche'" based post.
