I was in a cheedo last night. I took a full face alpha from a Tiber Wolf when I was peaking over the top of a ramp on HPG (dumb to peak and poke in this mech I know), We're talking something along the lines of 2LPL and 5ERML, straight to my CT/H. I didn't even twist much because I wasn't expecting it and I was so convinced I was dead... Just waiting for that split second of loading that indicates a death. The alpha ended, I backed up behind cover and looked down at my paper doll: Yellow armor CT, yellow armor LT, the rest of the 'mech, pristine.

Uh...

Even though I was on the advantageous end of this particular bug it still miffed me. I know tomorrow I'll be the one shooting at this magical little mech

He probs washed your whole mech. Had the same thing happen to me in my FS9 earlier today. Thought well that's me dead, then noticed his lasers washing all over the place. If the TBR had held them on point i woulda been toast.

I have a dream that players stop using the forums to complain about things that are easy to change. If you're such a brilliant tactician, use the damn tools at your disposal to direct the team. VOIP works wonders when you don't act like an *******. You're a pretty well known player Spriggan. I would follow your direction to the letter. I've dropped with you on several occasions and you and your team mates just keep quite and do your own thing. Then you get on the forums and cry about how you don't win because... Stupid pugs. Go figure.

I find the euthanize/herd scrub player button quite handy< mb1 alpha strike

Yep lights got one thing and that's speed. They can easily fall back to the main group if things get hot and usually do.

Really its the heavies and medium leaving the assaults hanging in the wind. Maybe a generous bonus for defending assaults should be added.

Yeah yeah i know what you're saying. Like i said earlier in the thread though i gave up on ye olde communication a while back. I'm not claiming to be a great tactician cos i've got nothing on players like Kaffe, Panicbutton, Heim, TFun etc when it comes to that. All i was getting at is that when the lights are working flanks or harassing rears, the heavies and assaults don't need to be chasing after them in follow mode.

I wasn't aware i was that well known to be honest. Considering i'm average at best at this game.

I dont even know what to say here. Lol at team work in MWO pugs.

Get a Unit, if your unit doesn't understand mutual support and such, get a new unit.

Nothing else to be done about it.
