How often do you notice you're in a match with a forum user you're familiar with? Maybe it's more common in T1, but I can only recall ever playing with one person in this thread, and that's because he somehow suicided about a minute into the match

Fairly often, actually. I have seen Bombast in game frequently. I have also played with Bishop, McGral, Yeone Greene, Novakaine, Juodas Varnas, Appogee, and I'm probably forgetting a pile of others.

Very often. In T2 at least, I come across many familiar faces, and many of the most active forumites do seem to be in the T3-T1 range, so I think more than a few of us experience that.

In order to play this game to get the best stats possible a person usually has to hug one or at most, two mechs as they only thing they will ever play with set loadouts and gobs of time spent on them. And then there's pretty much everyone else that just screws around constantly with different mechs and loadouts in trying new things because this game has the most god awful stale gameplay on the face of the planet, which is the only way for them to find a sense of fun from it.

Mechwarrior Online is not the game to care about stats. It really isn't. League of Legends, or various first person shooters, yeah. This one, not so much. As a previous poster stated, if I drop in a match that is filled with timid children or edgy snipers on my side I'll hit Override as well, attempt to get 400 damage or more done and go out in glory so the next match can happen.

Admittance is the first stage on the road to recovery, or so they say.

The unfortunate thing is, those 3 guys who hung in the back, now think their tactic is viable because the match was won. You tried to do something about it, so I wouldn't call you a douche.

Great thread.

Seriously mods? You redacted a euphemism? Lame.

8v8 reduces the effect of this playstyle on others.

God I'm so sick of seeing 8v8 propped up as the friggin' answer to all problems ever in the history of the world.

I will NEVER forgive you.

And I will never forgive the animators for giving this kid a mouth full of molars. I mean, WTF? Incisors? Canines? Cuspids? Bicuspids? Nope, nothing but molars. Who the hell does that?

I find it strange that someone with a clan faction tag calls someone a Stalinist.

Finding it ironic that one of the players I mentioned in my earlier post has since posted in this thread, and completely missed the fact that I brought them up...lol maybe it's not a coffee issue, perhaps they yell in so many matches they failed to remember the specific one I brought up.

In any event, in the spirit of this thread I forgive them...though I have started keeping my MWO volume a tad lower.
