If those players never use it, they might want to watch a few videos of high level players and see what advantages it does confer.

Oh please. I'll cite just as many videos of high level players never using it at all. Try again.

No thanks. I've spent more effort trying to help you than was worth it already. Have a nice day.

The playerbase has rejected immersion effects such as night/day, clutter, fog, and large maps that give you time to look at the scenery. They did this through voting. The playerbase obviously thinks this is a shooter where we destroy each others mechs and maps and gamemodes with distracting effects are a waste of time. Its world of tanks with mechs. Dont you realize that yet? If PGI wants to use these new maps for MW5 then more power too them. Bring back the old maps like frozen city, forest colony, mordor, where we can actually brawl. The playerbase overwhelmingly votes for the old maps whenever available in my experience. No one likes sitting there waiting on the snipers and lurmboats to get done before the real fight actually starts.

Which is why for almost 5 year I have been saying that at least half of the problems with MWO can be traced back to the player base.

Thats why when my team gets base rushed, i just state in All Chat, 'dont defend base, if they only want to win 25k Cbills let them"

You would be surprised how often that gets them back to the fight.

And if they do cap, "enjoy your 25k".

And this is when I type:

Yes I will, losers!

I don't need more c-bills. I'm already richer than Blake. <maniacal >

I don't know what's worse, base rushes or getting back to your base and seeing assaults sitting on it

That would be my Dire Wolf, obliterating incoming baddies thinking it's just a puny light taking their stuff.

Fixing NV and thermal modes might help there. NV is rarely used at all. Thermal is only used when there's jungle blocking your view, and even then it isn't used a ton.

TercieI, on 22 March 2017 - 05:01 AM, said:

Are you kidding? Even with SweetFx and setting gamma and brightness to map/time every match, I use thermal close to half the time on many maps, as do many players.

I love programmable monitors that allow you to set gamma and contrast via macros that also trigger NV and HV in-game.

I still think modes like Escort, Domination and Conquest shouldn't become available until you hit T3 at the very minimum.

Let's face it, any mode that requires the new guys to do anything but find a place to stand still and fill the air with skill rockets is far too complicated.

LOL! Half? You are a very generous soul indeed. Worse thing ever to happen to MWO? The "Potatoes" decided to show up and ruin if for all the T1/2 elite playa's... Damn shame that really, but fear not.

When MW5 SP arrives, that is where all those "Potatoes" will go and leave all those "Potatoe" hating elites the MWO battlefields all to themselves. And we know, well in advance, that those "elites" will be very appreciative as well, given how serious their hatred towards said "Potatoes" truly is. LOL!

Damn I love this place.

That would be fine, except for the fact that upper tier players do the same thing if not worse.

I don't know about you, but much of my beef is not with the potatoes. They weren't around (or noticeable) during closed beta.

Wonder if that has to do with PGI's complete inability to separate people based on experience and skill.

Remember the old ELO/MM thing and how they started everyone out in the middle somewhere? It's almost like that. I'm willing to bet you can hit T1 in trial mechs.

PGI cannot separate the population if there isn't much of it.

And since you mentioned Elo, I miss that thing. It seemed better than this new PSR. But then again the population was probably bigger during that time too.

Why are we still complaining about PSR? Even as easy as it is to get to T1, there isn't enough T1 players to fill out their own queue, which is why T1s still frequently show up in games with T5s. And then you have group queue which throws the tier system out the window. Anyone can group with anyone. The player base isn't big enough for any match making system to be relevant. I've queued up 3 times in a row and saw 10 of the 24 players in all 3 games.
