I'm having fun and spending money again. But MM is still MM so you get what you get.

I'm having some decent fun. Ran out of mechs though, and about to run out of mechs I want to stack XP on as well.

Ran out of mechs?


Well you gotta keep at least one to play the game :P cbills are great and all! lol





I have fun every time I log on, but I also have fun everywhere I go... i choose to have fun and enjoy things for what they are instead of wishing for this or that and looking at things through s*it colored glasses.

I'd have more fun if PGI fixed the IS Command Console!

Oh, I'm having plenty of fun. But I could be having A LOT MORE FUN if Clan Diamond Shark was ingame.

I still do, easily.

Even on a 9 game losing streak. Because a winning streak is right around the corner (as soon as I stop leveling the hateful LB that I am lousy in hahahaha).

I am but I never go in slumps as bad as what other acclaim to get. I usually stick around 50/50 for win loss if not actually just over that. In other words if we win I slightly have something to do with it. If we lose I have nearly nothing to do with it.

You know what I mean. Ran out of mechs I want to grind.

Only mechs left I would like to do are the Awesome (Bad chassis, combined with my inability to make PPCs fun), the Zeus (Just bad), and the Bushwacker (Monthes before C-Bill release). Oh, and the Orion, which I was looking into when it got it's armor quirks, but than I realized all the stuff I wanted to do with an Orion, I can kind of do on a Jagermech, so screw it.

Oh well. Once I'm done doubling up this last Jagermech, I guess it's back to playing my Catapults a bunch.

Better joystick support will keep me playing more often over other games with currently better joystick support.

What games are you playing with joystick support? I play this with a joystick, but I use mouse for all combat. I just use the throttle with left hand and the actual stick for early game navigation (or I hold the stick and mouse simultaneously for fast *** turning.)

It's primarily War Thunder in simulation mode.

For MWO, I had to create custom -- and really cool Posted Image -- macros in TARGET, which helped at lot. But it is still not where I want it to be. It works best with PPFLD weapons and missiles. Lasers, on the other hand, are a *****.

Well, that's not the joystick gameplay I was referring to. Posted Image

My macro does that by itself. Posted Image

Group queue, playing with lots of different folks on the FRR hub is always fun.

Though I admit I miss the fun of CW, when it was okay to be a casual player there. I miss the fun of trying to make bad mechs work (nowadays if you aren't playing the current top mechs with a meta build it seems inevitable that some jerk will grief you for "hurting the team"). I miss the fun of playing legos in the mechlab to try and build that "perfect" mech (now you can't since it seems like the moment you get something set the way you like PGI nerfs it). I miss the fun of white knighting on PGI's behalf (thanks Russ). I'd be having more fun if PGI would give me a reason to believe that the game has a future beyond MW5.

Yeah I 'm still having fun. But that fun is due as as much to the community as it is to the game...maybe even more than the game.

Yea i did know what you meant but...

Onions are a lot of fun, and they brawl way, way, way better then Jager mechs IMO.
