Wow so intelligent, I will bend over to your superior persuasion skills! I am completely and utterly wrong and I am ashamed..
Listen Einstein, if you take the time to actually read, I'm not saying my money is better than anyone else's. Im saying it's EQUALLY GOOD. So, if an Archer buyer gets to receive much needed buffs in a reasonable amount of time, the IICs I got should get just the same. Or maybe should I say, f*ck Archer quirks, the problem is people not knowing "how to take advantage of its existing potential"? If some people do fine in IICs then a buff is out of the question, but if people do bad in an Archer the obvious solution is buffing it? Nah sorry but I don't see the logic in that. What makes your point valid and mine fallacious? Only your own skewed opinion. And unlike you, I am not against buffed Archers, I am against something that is not just.
I am only pointing out that your lack of success with the jenner may not be the fault of the mech itself. Before you get defensive, I am not trying to say you are a bad pilot, simply that it might not play to your strengths. As I conceded in my own posts, there are lots of mechs I've purchased that I don't use now because I've found them not compatible to my playstyle; Mechs that have existed much longer than the relatively new IIc mechs and are still "useless" in my hands.
My only caution is that to buff the Jenner simply to make it play better for those that have difficulty with it will make it a monster in the hands of those that can already do so.
So my point is cautioning "it that what you really want?" because it will become the next ACH overpowered uber mech that everyone was complaining about... exactly what they are trying to avoid.
I'm not the only one that feels that way, just like you are not the only one to feel the way you do. The only reason I got testy was because you wholly dismissed contrary arguments that didn't align with your experience. While I can commiserate with your position, I cannot agree this mech needs buffing. More specifically, the all-missile and all energy variants do not need buffing because of their combination of speed and power, the other two I don't play because they don't suit my style.
I get it, you paid cash money and it didn't pan out the way you expected. I bet you there are people in this game that blew a lot more than $20 on mechs that feel butthurt buyers remorse.
I even offered builds I found effective in hopes that maybe you'd give them a try, but I can't help you if you don't ask for help nor play to the mech's strengths.

What I meant is that it's not very helpful when it happens in the middle of a fight, like in the situation I described. And while a match is getting ready to start, I'm not thinking about whether I need to check if my mouse cursor is bound to the window.
I can't see how that would help, since it would just focus to the desktop. Same result, dead mech.
I used to have this same problem but I now play in windowed mode and minimize other windows when the match begins, since doing this I've not had the problem.
I also minimize my alt-f4'ing...
Now if they do fix that issue (I've experienced it before Clan Wave One came out), I'll be a happy camper... other than I am too set in my ways, lol
