Oh and IS claimed yet another cycle tonight

Yeah, but I had 3 total ghost drops yesterday and the matches I did get filled after 8 or so minutes of waiting.

Nobody is in Clans right now.

As to the guy in the back, I'm hoping PGI releases the new consumable I requested for helping with the pug carry -



40k cbills and it drops your bad pugs in the very front from wherever they're hiding.

[justcallme A S H]

Only one ghost in Oceanic! Usually it's ghost town... That said there was 9min waits for a few games.

Seems everyones jumped ship.

If youre a clan loyalist, nows your time to shine...

Not my problem *shrugs*

[Alteran]

Won't even bother reading all the other pages of posts, but Ash you are bang on. Played two games as IS since we switched...

Rolled face the first game. The IS Pugs had good builds and worked as a team. Something like 48-26 or so.

2nd game, no one listened, there were more LURMs than lasers and people were dropping like flies because they were so spread out thinking that going 1v10 was a smart thing to do.

Yup... Clans OP and IS mechs and tech suck and can't compete. What a joke.

Unit switched to IS last night. Had 6 drops today, 5 wins (2x2.5k+, 2x2k+, 1x1.5k), 1 loss to EVIL, when they took a hill on alpine dom and kept us at range and out of the circle until timeout.

BLR-2Cs are hilarious

....clan totally OP

[Cox Devalis]

Guys. I got something fresh to say.

Spoiler

Clans are OP.

Nobody cares is it true or not.

To be fair, going on 3 years now PGI certainly hasn't cared.

there were never really enough clan loyalists, the major active clanpop was made by mercenaries. The clanloyalists aren't those 24/7 gamers.

[justcallme A S H]

Well no real updates. Haven't lost a game for a few days now. Damage average hovering probably around the 1700 marker.

Pretty standard stuff.

The only game of note below.

I LRM'd for a laugh, ~1100dmg and ran outta ammo. The game should've been a loss as it was 5-12 after first wave, but for some reason enemy charged into 12 mechs, with 12 beat up ones with 5mins to go... Scoreboard then tipped.

[nagdamnit]

Can someone let me know how many phases IS have won over the past week since Ash's triumphant return. I assume its at least half? Probably more given that Ash hasn't lost a match in weeks.

No, it's less than 50%. We sometimes win Oceanic and we once won NA primetime. That's it. My win/loss is creeping up on 8.0 but we rarely get past the 'middle' of the tug of war because other teams are losing as fast as others are winning.

Out of 3 cycles however the best we're doing most days is a draw. Wait until the vacation in the IS the mercs are taking is over - wait until the skill revamp, quirks are gone and we are back staring the raw broken nuttiness of IS/Clan balance right in the face and staring in slack jawed awe at PGIs standard line of 'we can't balance IS/Clan tech because standard engines and we're giving a tiny, irrelevant buff to machine guns' logic of oblivious incomprehension.

Oh cool, are they also going to remove the IS advantages of needing less face time, much better cooling and having... like actual arm shields vs shielding with side torsos in clan mechs? Or is that staying?

This is my first first game as IS tonight. Seriously the people crying on the forums about Clan OP, balance issues, everyone in EVIL is hacking etc etc.

What a load of crap. This is my best FP match yet, the IS tonnage is obscene!

Learn to play. I will gladly offer to help anyone that wants it as well.

1. 7-man on Clan side.
2. 1 player down the entire match
3. All my mechs are XL, even my Assault.
4. I was not even aiming CT's, just torso's for a bit of a fun game for myself
5. I got too aggressive in 2nd mech and only did 800dmg.
6. All my mechs were down to 25-35%, even as IS XL, I still was fighting on no worries
7. One of the players in the IS Charlie Lance said he was "going to snipe" from the back, I told him to get to the team and share armour, he not so politely "declined". I bet you can take a guess which player that was...


This is the other screenshot for components to show #3 is true. If I was aiming CT's I'd probably have done a bit less DMG/more kills.




Shout out to TDGB, without those two players, not sure we'd have won give the amount of LRM boats the IS players had.

Would love to know the mechs and builds you used.

You forgot to mention that when PGI nerfed the skill tree and double basics, almost every IS mech got agility and movement quirks to keep them at pre nerf levels. Clams mostly did not. IS mechs will lose all those as well right? with the new skill tree? They won't be part of the 'base quirks' PGI claims some mechs are keeping?

2 Oceanic, 1 US.

Clan hasn't won any Oceanic and I believe US has been a stalemate for the past week and a half.

Basically population is pretty balanced. There is no real territory movement going on.

No one is getting the bar for enough into Invasion to actually secure the planet flip. IS came close to winning 4-5 more but all it takes is 2-3 Clan game wins in the last 45mins of a cycle, and 7hrs work goes down the toilet. It's a fairly stupid way to implement it, same as FP3 with the 53% rule.

Toxic thread, smeared with disgusting troll juice. Shut up? Thats what you have to say to the MWO community? Please stop playing this game and polluting the forums with this BS. Take your amazing awesomeness somewhere else with your insults and incredible success rates. You are flawless. Grats. Move on to the next thing you are perfect at in every way and let others have fun. If i were any more tired of this type of thread I would be in a coma.

Yes, people trying to show that IS mechs are just as good in FW as clan, especially with the tonnage difference but require a different playstyle, how very toxic. Why learn when it's much easier to continue using the incorrect tools and tactics and complain about tech disbalance which has at this point turned simply into a tech distinction

I salute you sir.

You understand the point being made here.

The true 'imbalance' of FP, for the most part, team work. When a 4 - 6 man can basically kill 75% of the opposition by simply shooting the same target, not even being on comms... That's saying it all really
