Well came back to the game after like 3 months. Things have to have gotten better. Right? Yeahhhhh..... Not a chance. first drop. teammate blew off my left torso then another legged me. whatever. must be pugs. 2nd match tried LRMS. sorta like slapping my **** upside a brick wall. No point. So I guess we will see again in 3 more months of "what the hell was PGI thinking"

Maybe you should try the Mechwarrior academy? It seems all your problems stem from being unfamiliar with the game. The new player forums might also be helpful in that regard.

I agree the academy would help a few of the new things that PGI has integrated over the past three months.

On the issue of your team killing you, well...it is still MWO.

LMAO...............you come back and you don't dominate and dictate..............can I have your stuff?

[Bishop Steiner]

Uh... Who are you?

I have been team killed less than once a year intentionally. The only time I ever had a real issue with TKers was during the release of Open Beta when I started playing and there was a wave of {Richard Cameron} who joined at the same time. Maybe it's still an issue in Tier 5 because of trolling alts? Either way just play more and you'll get past the point where you see them

Well I've seen some folks who run their mouth a lot get legged and left, too.

Well he is correct there. LRM's suck because of pgi's "every map must be nothing but cover" policy.

Doesn't matter, should win his/her first match (basically ever at this point) in his/her first mech ever dropped because if it isn't that easy it isn't worth playing.


That is what i got out of this....

naaaaaaaaa, lrm sucks as weapon (here, pgi fault).
But he cannot whine because enemies were taking cover.

Caustic and Polar highlands are fantastic maps for LRMs but i only see them work when boated by not just one but a few mechs. TAG and NARC lights help immensely. Haven't played a LRM night in quite sometime but the last one i was in on went pretty well....like 12-0 well.

LRMS suck because of all the counters, crying nerfing, buffing, LRMagedons that resulted in more crying and just the way they work in general. They do need a change im not arguing that but i dont think it based solely on the maps. Cover is OP but against all kinds of fire, not just LRMS.

I'd say the only maps where I have to worry about LRM's are Caustic and Alpine. Polar is nothing but cover and I don't understand why people have a problem with LRM's there....unless they just stand in the open

LRM's do need changed (buffed...maybe indirect nerfed a little) but it's the amount of cover and slow missile speed that are the main problems imo. But I'd also prefer battlefields (Polar was going in the right direction) instead of arenas.

I just came back after 2 weeks off because the game is stale. I know nothing is going to change because it hasn't changed since closed beta. Once you accept that this is always going to be the way MWo is, then you can finally enjoy the game for the shred of a game that it is.

I only return in-game because I enjoy hanging out with my unit. There's 1 saving grace in this game and its not even part of the game - its the community we've built outside of it despite the fact the game isn't all that great and never will be. If there's one thing that will end up sinking PGI at some point it will be when core units start to move on to games that are actually being developed.

Idiots shooting at the start is annoying...

Maybe get some practice using the LRM, one match a unit mate got 7 kills and butt loads of xp...with just LRM.

OP,

I'm am an underhive dweller (and I like it), and I kvetch about friendly fire at spawn all the time. Yet I have NEVER had even the most trigger happy, incompetent players, do what you have described. I would chalk it up to a crazy set of circumstances and try a few more matches before deigning the game, pgi, or your experience a failure.

I've heard this so many times before. Now where was it?....

Oh yes, the Star Wars Galaxies forums

Sorry man, you shouldn't have dropped in a chicken mech. That leg just looked too tasty, and I couldn't help myself. My buddy prefers white meat, that's why he went for chicken mech breast. I would suggest dropping in human shaped mechs from now on.
