OK...so second, match, a loss, still broke 700 dmg.

What boggles my mind was the 4 KDKs who couldn't break 200 dmg (well one had 240ish..whoohoo!)

Generally I agree. I only take out my assaults in group queue with my unit mates. God help Assaults in Pug Queue.


What is the problem with Assaults in QP? Works perfectly fine. NASCAR is at an all-time low, so no problems there.

My team of 10, with all the tonnage restrictions that entails, just faced NINE Kodiaks in the Group Queue.

They had essentially double our tonnage.

I realise PGI's POS matchmaker needs to deal with lots of Kodiaks today. But you'd think they could at least make it smart enough to put the Kodiaks up against each other rather than stupid matches like that.

(In case you're wondering, we lost the match 11-12 when our last Locust unfortunately couldn't take down both the undamaged Kodiaks that had been sniping from the back throughout the battle.)


Judging by the fact that the match ended 11-12, I say the MM is doing great job.

Dual Gauss on KDK-3, 4x Medium Pulses on paws, seems to work decently. Could fit Quad-Gauss if I switched to smaller STD Engine... With those gun placements I might have to give it a swirl at some point.


Do it. You can fit 300 Std engine in there if you shave off some armor, giving it Dire Wolf level mobility with high-mounted quad Gauss. Should be worth a try.

KDK-3 Gaussmeister

Not really surprising, round a corner into the paws of the enemy Kodiak lance and you are lucky if you can break 100.

My first games I did the mauling several times, now I am on the receiving end lol.

sadly, only one of em had that excuse...and he knew the enemy lance of KDKs was there BEFORE he pushed out by himself. *SMH*

Glad to hear the Spirit Bear has been fun so far. May be the first Hero mech I've buy out of the $20 packs since the Black Widow and Bounty Hunter.

sad thing is: that battle got lost against a far lighter team.

10 kodiaks hugging the ramp....... guess the 2 ppl not hugging it.

and quite many know that hugging the ramp and do nothing works with no mech at all.

Kodiak fear has set in fully... nobody pushes anymore, anywhere, regardless of gamemore or map.

Five times in a row in the team that cannot even camp properly.

It's the time of day. I've noticed that mindset starts about 3 hours ago (11:00 am Pacific) and won't end for another hour (3:00 pm Pacific). On patch days it's often a little delayed due to the patch time, but that otherwise sounds perfectly normal.

Been stuck in the MM queue for 5 minutes - assault % is 70 odd...

So must have been popular!

Now 10 mins - screw this back to the ACHs...
