Quite a lot of those guys you are dropping with are all T1 yeah? All coordinating on TS yeah? and playing against a bunch of uncoordinated skittles yeah? So another seal clubbing session for quality players.

Also, you are dropping in Oceanic timezone which has not really been a problem for IS over the past 3-4 weeks.

Again, could you remind me how this addresses the balance issues we have agreed exist?

T1 QP from 2nd screen shot? Yep. HHoD? NFI in all honesty. I don't know most of those players.

Other matches that were wins, was there TS? No.

Not one of the players was on comms and was comms at all, not even kidding. Maybe occasional in game from someone. Carl/Perko & I were on my TS, that's all. We were mostly talking **** to be honest.

Well Oceanic when I was Clan the last two weeks was usually *almost* at Invasion on the Clan side. Now it's almost at Invasion on the IS side...


ACTUALLY - It IS INVASION on IS.

We WILL TAKE PLANETS TONIGHT

I WILL STAY UP ANOTHER 25mins to see GLORY FOR THE IS

Oh and I just found out US cycle today. IS almost had Invasion. It slipped back in the dying 15mins apparently.

So it's not just getting "close" in Oceanic. US this one as well, the big one that is usually clan heavy.

ASH, by now everyone accepts the difficulty for the IS to take a planet. Thanks for the effort. Now get your head back into a proper perspective. Get your priorities in order, and accept the sad reality that those dumplings have affected the community to a far greater extent than your wins tonight and post the damn recipe! I'm begging here. Those look tasty as hell and I have to get groceries tonight, so help a fellow out.

Yeah, yeah, balance, clans OP, IS OP, join church of skill, etc.

Now how's about you post the recipe for those dumplings?

lol


Pork or Prawn. Make sure it's raw prawn.

- Fish sauce
- Chilli oil
- Soy sauce
- Those dumpling pancake things (NFI what they are called).
- Salt/Pepper
- Some other odd asian sauce, NFI what. I forget.
- Ginger (minced)
- Garlic (minced)

Throw it all in a bowl. Mix it up, however much you like. I prefer more mixing of the pork as it breaks down the meat proteins.
Roll out the little pancake things, so the are around 50% larger than outta the pack
Fill/Roll/Crimp
Steam 8mins

MOOAR chilli oil.

18/01 Update of the Clan OP

Mass wins / 1 loss.

1. Playing in a group of varying size from 5-9. Most guys never played with each other before too.
2. Zero comms each match, no one really on TS or anything. People just playing/shooting.
3. Clan LRM Boaters were REAL tonight. Holy ****... 5-6 a wave, each match.
4. Beat a 10man(?) with a 7 man I think (zero comms from our side).
5. Did some unit drops. Taking a couple fresh guys in the unit for a run and show them what FP is about. Hence one loss, I made 2 bad calls as I was being lazy with drop calling
6. Still managed to crack 3k in a 9man
7. Another spud calling "aimbot". Wouldn't have 2k dmg and only 10 kills if using, aimbot...

Came close to more GHOST DROPS AGAIN!!!! (got matches in dying seconds).


Some proof of matches for the doubters.

This pic is mighty impressive, I did not realize that you trounced the oceanic champions.

Only EON and Emp stand in your way to complete this thread.

Does no one else think those Dumplings look like something HR Giger used to inspire Aliens?

As for the rest Ash. You are right, the other people who actually experience FW on the IS side over the past 4 weeks are obviously just wrong. What could we possibly know. We just played through it. Keep posting those screenshots. Its helping a lot.

20/01 & 21/01 update

3 losses out of maybe 40 games?

1. Straight forward games. Faced a few groups, nothing of interest.
2. Losses were just poor overall from the group, bunch of people just blindly going in cost it. Will learn from that those people will!
3. I had some amazing lamb off the rotisserie last night, one of my fav Melb restaurants does a simply awesome job of it.
4. LURMs the past 2 days have backed off a bit, still plenty of PUGs bringing them but overall a bit better (both sides) meaning games have been a tad more competitive as people are actually doing damage.
5. Glock has AFK'd a total of about 7 times now to make Tea/Scones
6. Got my XL GHP down to under 25%. I managed to torso the MDD as he got me to 18%, ended up killing me the next volley as I had to turn my back to eat the incoming one, couldn't turn around fast enough to CT him.
7. Got HACKUSATIONED again... lol.








Best part?

IS Won the last phase!!! Giddy up!

I play both IS and Clan.

Clan tech is easier to win with.

But the deciding factor in most matches is who has the bigger premade team. (PUGs are pretty bad on both sides.)

Had some good matches with 21MJ last night. Won 1 lost 2, was good fun though.

I personally am of the opinion that the tech gap isn't nearly as wide as most is loyalists are saying. There is a tech gap for sure (you feel it a lot more playing midrange builds. 400 m is just outside my optimal on the GHR, but the EBJ can put full damage on at that range.) but clan mechs have a lot of disadvantages as well as advantages. The heat difference is probably the biggest one. Yes clan DHS are more efficient than than Is ones but most clan mechs have locked DHS that they can't move. The slot thing is to counter the fact that they have locked Ferro which consumes a lot of slots. Many clan pilots would like to move dhs to free up tonnage but they can't. This is one of the reasons the Kodiak and MAD II C are so powerful right now. They have fully editable insides. As many or as few DHS as you need. They kinda offer opportunity to 'break' clan tech. I also recall a match I played on Frozen City which consisted of like 9 ErLL GHR trading with clans across the valley. They had to flank to close with us. Was really eye opening. My Quickdraw 5K is still a great ERLL boat. I'd much rather brawl at 200m than snipe at 700 though (and f*** Alpine Peaks!)

Oh look kids a Clan elitist, gawk as they talk down to all who oppose them and marvel as they wonder why FW dies slowly.

When will you guys learn......

Right, because it's really the Clans' fault that Faction Warfare is in the state that it's in...

Why not just say "Faction Warfare is dying because Clans win too much?"

[Marius Romanis]

What we have here is a failure to communicate. some basic facts.

4.1 lauches, many puglets join the fray with all the hype that people have been bringing to their attention in quickplay chat spam (i tried)

95% of the experienced players go Clan for multiple reasons : - MAD iiC , other good units going to be clan because of said mad iic and the piece de resistance.......
IS puglets are worse,
FOR 3 REASONS
reason 1 :- IS mechs need a LOT more work doing after purchase to make a good build
reason 2 IS mechs are cheaper in the store so the new players think they can build a deck faster so they play FW with terrible mechs
reason 3. Clan mechs when store bought often have "ok" loadouts (compared to IS storebought mechs)

So, for the 1st 2 - 3 weeks Most good units went clan, to farm the cheap cbills, because we ALL know what this game is really about .... POKEMECHS ! GOTTA OWN THEM ALL! , then as the queue times get longer because the IS puglets stop playing/go back to quickplay/move to Clan and MAD IIC's get xp maxed out all the experienced players that aren't loyalists move to IS, ready for the new bushwacker launch and to farm cbills fastest way possible again, on the CLAN PUGGLETS! that were smart/lucky enough to follow the big units or had a lore basis from previous mechwarrior games or swapped over to clan after getting farmed as IS(poor ********). Now the clan potatoes are thinning out were back to where we were 1-2 months after the launch of 3.1 (just wait till we get to where we were 4 months after 3.1 launch).

FOR THE BILLIONTH TIME!!! AT SPUD LEVEL, CLAN MECHS ARE BETTER, BECAUSE YOU BUY THEM THAT WAY! AT HIGHEST LEVEL IS MECHS ARE BETTER (BUT FEW PEOPLE PLAY TO WIN AS A TEAM PUSHING FORWARD SHARING ARMOR WHICH IS HOW IS MECHS ARE BETTER) everyone just wants easy cbills and to own them all.

So in closing, stop whining, clan mechs are slightly better but pretty closed to balanced with the current maps/ tonnage difference, if they remove polar and alpine and add canyon and mining they will probably need to lower the tonnage gap a little.

THE ONLY THING THAT ISNT BALANCED IS THE PLAYERS.

Further updates...

Still have barely lost a match. I think 3 in the last 2 days. That's even in PUG drops.

1. Did my first scouting drop since 4.1. Got paid crap as usual, won't do that again.
2. Still lots of Clan potatoes with LRMs, they really need to stop
3. Funny seeing streakdogs as well, against IS heaviest. People really are not that smart.
4. A certain person, ClubMed, is still doing his useless sitting back/not sharing armour caper
5. So thankfully in relation to #4 - we had to carry him and several other PUGlets as they wouldn't push, lost trades and certainly didn't torso twist.
6. Got more mechs under 25% as XL, got this one @ 23%, matchj ended before i could get that lower, and I would've. That twisting like a boss
