Dude, come one you've been here long enough to know there's dozens of MM fail threads. Was this needed? Plus, are we now blaming MM for losing? That MIGHT be a new one I suppose....

Oh yea...

I'm glad someone finally got the nerve to post on this

That's war for u..

One side will always have a militaristic advantage the other...
Would u go into war and ask the other side not to use tank n plans cause u only have infantry?

Same thing applies here.. u work with wat u have.. like I said... that's war for u..

Just pretend that your a small rebel force fighting the good fight over your evil corporate overlords who have the superior militaristic advantage over you.. you may not win.. you even may die.. but u died giving them hell!


I'm glad i finally got the nerve to make this comment ^^^^ lol

Something is especially wrong with
Matchmaker this last 2 weeks...

Either you are a mech god and are just clubbing baby seals (you are gifted with a good team and a bad opfor)... or you are doing your best to carry harder with multiple trials on your team..

Only way to get something fixed around here is to make a new thread about it every day and speak about it in other threads not even related. It will still take a 6+ months.

[Craig Steele]

6+ months??

Me thinks you assume to much

Last three games for me were stomp (win 1 kill 400 dmg), stomped (loss 0 kill 300 dmg), stomped (loss 0 kill didn't look at stats, 150 / 200 maybe?). All in griffons. Not one of these games provided me anything other than a sense of "grind".

In the last 3 hours that I have been playing I can recall just one game that I enjoyed. After 8 minutes of scrapping and brawling around River City our last 3 mechs faced a lone Victor. The Victor got us all, he was good. Even loosing I can appreciate it was a competitive game. I felt entertained (but damn do I wish we took our chances )


No one expects a 12-10 or 12-11 seat of your pants, down to the wire experience every time, there are too many variables. Just as equally, no one expects a 12-0 or 12-2 dead in 3 minutes watch the lone spider / jenner / locust run around for 5 minutes while the enemy flounder after him, but thats what I seem to have regularly.

I get that its only a 10 minute match and we all move on to the next one, but my experience is that its match after match of the same stomping (win or lose).

BTW, if you want anything fixed let your wallet do the talking, Revenue is "god", forums is feedback.

Ah well, time to grind on with Wolverines.......

Hmm.. holiday season, past 2-3 weeks... I think we have a winner!!

Lots of people are away from precious MWO so the pilot pool is a little thin!

[Craig Steele]

Would "holiday season" be better for MMO populations in general? While many are away, many more have no work / family commitments and surplus time?

Winter in Northern Hemisphere keeps more indoors too?

Having said that, I think the MWO population is lower but it might be more to do with a declining active player base than holiday season.

Hopefully I am wrong but I know pre X-mas personally I was getting bored with MWO, post Clans package I was just plain cheesed off that the marketing of clan mechs took precedence over all the promised improvements to gameplay and right now I have no desire to press launch, I know its going to be a stomp one way or the other.

Patch Day is 36 hours I think, maybe they deliver something apart from a new hero mech or Camo sale?

Some would have more play time, but at the same time, many more would be visiting family, or having family visit them. Or like myself, wishing I had the swine flu or avian flu instead of the Chuck Norris flu. (seriously, didn't know a flu existed that had every single symptom).


As to patch day, check out the Command section, there is a rough road map in one of Russ's posts that lists the major mile stones. I think Feb. 4th is the next big one....

Ignore the self appointed forum police. Your right its been bad as of late. Wicked imbalances with teams or short two or three. Add in that many more times than I can count I seem stuck in one map 5,6 times or more. Once I had a map 11 in a row. That's insane.

I tend to think its declining population because in past threads I was told it because of elo brackets I am in . I started a new account to see and even in my first matches I was seeing guys I fight regularly in my 8000 match account.

Right now just hoping it improves. I cant say it looks promising with the snail pace progress around here. Having a dozen or so regular trolls policing the internet to quash opinion doesn't help either. Have heard housecleaning is coming in that regard but I think that's just more bull like everything else. Hope its gets better because I want to spend some cash if it does.

[SgtKinCaiD]

Same here, i won't buy any clan package until the situation has improved.

Ditto. At this point I'm not really sure I'll be playing the game when the summer rolls around.

I'm hoping it was just the holidays that has thrown things off so dramatically. Of course, the MM wasn't exactly flawless before then...

Your posts are sad, useless, and fanboi. BTW rage more in the games when you lose or die. We love hearing it.

[Warblood]

@War Beast
why do u have to hid on an alt to post? I only ask because ur account is only a few days old, which either makes u an alt or a troll.

to "quote" you... "Your posts are sad, useless.." yes.. yes they are..plz stop..

[Merc Montego]

I rarely post but I'll gladly add my name to list of folks who think something is up with matchmaker. While I've been staying about 50/50 win loss over the long run, it's RARE for those to be anything but steamrolled matches. Then right after you get drilled in a 12-3 loss, the winners are always saying "gg" like this is the way its supposed to be.

I certainly won't be dumping any cash into any game that thinks those kind of matches are an acceptable norm.

You apparently havent much of a clue. ROFL.

Your above post says it all about yourself. ZERO input regarding the OP. An attack against another player. You fit the sad and useless category to a bill. Enjoy your WELL EARNED titles.

Yes I did just completely own you like that. How'd it feel ?

Buh bye.
