I'm having fun and winning most of my matches, both in groups and solo pugging.

I ain't boycotting sheet.

..at least until the Skill Maze comes to grind quirked IS mechs into the dust.


Yep having a lot of fun also, not to mention the rewards are amazing.

El Bandito was supposed to put MS on the first jumpship out but he must have booked United Spacelines and they were overbooked.


We still had 3 days of contract left for Liao when the event started, and by then the 30% extra dosh from Liao contract would be more profitable for us than Clan victory bonuses. If we knew about the event a week ago, MS might have been fighting for the Clans. Still kicking *** no matter the side.

Yes, responsible for it being 97%. If it weren't for them, it would be pegged at 100% and never budge.

I made my own unit just so I could take the 30%, lol.

Need to stop blowing through so many cool-shots, though.

Yes. we should. This is not anevent, this is exercise in retardation. As generous as prises might look they do not worth the frustration of never ending loss streak. Get you score and xp in scouting and let clanners ghostdrop in invasion for all eternity. IS not going to win a single daily 'challenge', take what you can and move on.

This event is the best thing that's happened to CW since, well, the last Tukayyid event.

Play. Keep slamming your face against the wall that is Clan superiority. The more bruises on our faces, the more data for PGI. And you get fast queues and decent rewards for doing so. And most of the time the games are fun too, like a never-ending series of glorious last stands (that sometimes even end well).

Last match of the night, we had pug + (5 Evil Steiner players) vs pug.

As defenders in Seige mode, we got rofled by 12 battlemasters. It took us 2/3 waves to get this lot cleared up and it didnt matter by then, their next waves had hit us and wiped us out. 48-16 was the end score I think.

If you IS folks want to win, just keep rolling in 12 Battlemasters (and if needs be reinforce them with more battlemasters). I shot through two mech's ST and they survived... must be magic :(

Boycotting the event wouldn't do a thing other than deny Inner Sphere players a chance at the rewards. At least get the loot first for yourself, it's substantial. Perhaps that is the reason for it, so PGI can persuade us into another Turkeyyid for more data. The Skill tree update is coming and who knows if the current requirements will be changed to level up mechs?

If you don't want the rewards, that's fine, I guess boycott away.

Last night I saw an IS team LRMing the gates trying to destroy them.

Yet, in a different match, I saw a largely PUG IS team deploy three waves with 50% Atlases in each, and Clan didn't have anywhere near enough tonnage to hold them back and deny them the win.

So, from my perspective, the biggest balance issue is the number of clueless players on the PUG side.

Yeah the issue here isn't Clan tech. It's that the IS has a smorgasbord of noobs who don't know how to play Faction Warfare and are blaming their failings on Clan tech instead of putting in the effort to get better and learn the game.

But who am i kidding, Clan tech is the sole reason IS is getting slammed, Not sub par builds, not the sub par player base and most certainly not the fact that many are new to the game mode.

There's always that one guy who has to protest for the sake of protesting..

You should be ashamed of yourself..

if you don't like PGI, stop playing MWO and move on.. don't spoil it for the rest of us who actually like this game with all its many bugs and fallacies..

There are quite a few Noob-(c) on the clan side, but probably (?) not as many as on the IS side. Lot of dingleberries bringing LRM mistlynx and such to scouting, or who reinforce with all their mechs before the first wave has fallen, etc.

There are a lot more No-Icon, No-Title (and no-faction) players in FP than before...
