Quit scouting long toms. Nobody is going to drop vs you on a long tom planet unless they are masochists....I see long tom I go elsewhere.

Please and thank you

So it's an effective deterrent to help them hold the planet without having to defend it? Sounds like a win for them.

Could we get some of that fighting spirit over on the Wolves? Seems to me someone took the Wolves to the vet to get snipped...

Oh im sorry I thought this was mechWARRIOR not mech hide behind long toms instead of fight

if the clanners are so badazz they should be able to hold planets without long toms no?

Nah it totally kills the queue's, so it just means much longer wait times due to stacked queue's.

I'm sure most would much prefer to opt for a better spread of games, more often than waiting for 30mins at a time

That is just sad. Way to show that clan fighting spirit.

He probably just made it into Tier 3...

I agree with the OP. It shouldn't be difficult to make a gentlemen's agreement to stop scouting at 70-80%. LT kills the queues. I don't want to let an NPC god cannon play the game for me, I want to play the matches myself.

If the inner sphere are so badazz they should be cutting their mech forces heavily and send mostly unarmoured infantry and light APC's and tanks up instead of so many 'Mechs...

Or in case of Liao... give or take a few urbies, a cicada, and the rest is infantry and tanks.

Telling people to stop scouting for long tom is like pushing a rope (especially since cookies are attached to scouting mode presently). I am sure people have tried but they don't get very far. Few people probably think Sir Thomas is very much fun but telling people to stop queuing scouting matches isn't going to work if they even read the forums which most don't.

Your not entirely right about opponents not queuing, IS were queuing up rather quickly last night to get god hammered back to the stone age. I don't think I ever saw the same opponents twice though, so that's something.

Yes they will. It's sad, and it's stupid, but they will. Within 90 seconds, during the event. Hopefully the overly enthusiastic yet slightly inattentive aren't getting chopped up like kittens in a wood chipper any more, but...

And yeah, we were seeing the same people twice yesterday. Thankfully, scouting was going back and forth on that planet, so the Long Tom would come and go, which was fun - because not having the Long Tom does not desynch its timer. Couple of times we were waiting for the satellite sweep with only a little time to go when the voice over for regaining the asset came in.

I don´t like having Long Tom. Unfortunately, I can´t do anything against it.
Do you know who can?

Right. IS can scout. I mean, with the hundreds of skilled Davions that came to Steiner, there should be enough to spam Scouts and attack right?

Yeah, right the loads of pugs probably don´t help.
