All I know is during my Marik pugging days of 2015, and 2016, I never gave up the fight, even when facing full MS team (the old Merc Star Alliance, prior to disbandment). I did my best to organize the resistance, even when getting seal clubbed. And fought our pugs did.

Which is why I reported all of those cowardly chicken mcnuggets in today's match. Event or no, such behavior should be condemned.

I understand your frustration EL Bandito but look at all their scores no one made the 250 Threshold to get 2 Stocking stuffers. Maybe with this Russ might change some things in Faction Warfare to stop a total stomp on another team from a premade. There is some internal problems with Faction Warfare when one team would just Eject and play another game than face up to you guys.

I like yourself have always fought to the last man and I commend you EL Bandito on that, and your a man of honor. Plenty of games our whole team got smashed and I was the last man left and wanted to 1v1 a person and 5% came up to the challange but the rest of the clans just shot me down when I dropped. Its a problem that I hope Russ can fix in the future with Faction Warfare.

I really dont think myself there is a fix or thing they can do unless the scrap the whole system and do something different for Faction Warfare as most people only drop for the food pellets and then get off ASAP and play QuickPlay. Good luck El Bandito

(hats off to MS for doing the X-mas crab drop as well)

Because the solo/single-member unit population is 95% of the player base of the game... and thus the queue times for group/unit drops exclusively are a lot larger. That's why we get synced unit drops in the QP solo queue every damn day.

Pretty sure I have seen you around some of the Twitch streams I lurk.

So you are also aware that more than one, and especially a couple of the more popular guys, synch drop with their unit/viewers in quick play right?

Not the point. We queue in FP to fight, not to shoot at stationary targets. And such blatant violation of CoC should be reported.

I respect that. Lets be honest though, unless you are coming up against a coordinated unit with good players you are not getting a fight anyway. The Developers are truly to blame for your frustration. They have not figured out how to match competent coordinate players against each other.

Maybe a Unit/Group Tier system should be implemented ? I do not have the answers even though i see the root cause.

Does it even matter that he fires his weapons at this point? How does MS, a completely innocent party in this situation, make up for the failure of this guy's team? Why should they pay the guy back for something they didn't do in the first place?

Uh, sportsmanship?

I dunno. That's what this whole [Redacted] thread is about, right?

Sportsmanship?

And Jaime there was making it sound like he was there, in the drop, which is why I quoted and replied to his "touching" moment of the "poor, lone, mechwarrior" theme. So, since he wasn't there, it wasn't really a question he could answer (I thought he was in that match, gave that impression with his response).

And I still say and repeat that those puggles shouldn't have been there in the first place, and sure as hell shouldn't have mass-ejected. That was total [Redacted] in motion.

Because this is really all about CoC, and Sportsmanship, and Honor, and whatever?

I mean you gave 'ol Bucket a fighting chance, right?

Right.

when i used to be in a unit i'd often try and talk to my team to 1v1 the last player (CWI does this, i honor them!) what's so bad about giving someone an honorable 1v1 duel, it gives something interesting for both sides to see and it allows the player to show off.

A fact would be
A truly good pilot will be able to make use of all battlemechs/weapons/ranges and be able to do efficiently with and without a team, while including Map Awareness,Mechanics, and Timing.

. . . and I'm sure that only the two non-MS guys shot the sole fighter up . . . please define "completely innocent"

Innocent involves them just playing the game as intended. They can shoot up the enemy in whatever way they want as long as they are shooting the enemy and not teamkilling or engaging in nonparticipation. Its a PvP FPS, no one's breaking any rules by shooting the enemy.

Total BS here you know dang well why solo/pugs/casuals play FP at all

#1 mechbays you cant get them in QP for rewards.
#2 QP gets boring playing day in and day out players want a break from QP so they try CW/FP.
#3 Playable Battle time if a solo/pug/casual player is lucky and does not drop against a 12 man organized team it is quite fun and they get better playing time and experience compared to QP.

There are more reasons solo/pug/casual players try CW/FP but I think these are the main 3.

#1 Logical reason and a good one. However, as events show, if you're there JUST for rewards and do not participate in the primary design goal, you will NOT have a good time. They accept that.

#2 Great.

#3 Your solo/pug/casual knows what they are getting into and odds are they are facing skirmish team, a group of 12 made of smaller groups and not your evil boogeyman. Unless you mean the solo/pug/casual facing 12 utilizing VOIP. How well will your solo/pug casual do against 12 other solo/pug/casual using VOIP? Same thing that happens now, they get clubbed.

No, it's fine man. I did look at his screenshot, but that was 14 pages ago. Lol.

Clubbers can't club if everybody is in a unit. *Thinking black man*

not all units are comparable. Most are just seals with name tags.

No what is total bs is trying to excuse poor behaviour.

I did not ask why pugs play CW. So your response to a question not asked is also what is bs here.

Again, I will reiterate. A player knows going in that they may face units. That they might get crushed. The only appropriate response is to tough it out, try and organise, or not play.

This behaviour cannot be justified and PGI is clear on this matter who is in the wrong.
