A hero mech can be made to look like a trial mech ... Mr poo poo the "well known" "FF/TKer" Friendly Fire/Team Killer" is a wolf in sheep's skin sent in to harass the lambs. to all new players if u are constantly legged , shot in the back, and easly killed by a fellow team mate in another trial mech that then proceeds to wipe your whole team and just keep going u got punked. that poo poo man is the same "high end lance pro teams officer" in a hero mech "his comm voice modd didn't work right when he was ranting" and its the same jerk that told me it was other sides turn to win the FP we were in ... wasn't our pawg. then the pro player is dumb enough to post a video of it and attract attention to it ... so the F2P format is crap (I wll not spend 2 years grind to get the current best mech every new 100$ mech is better then the last, not really but whatever) .. don't believe me , I'm full of it ?? the servers setup the matches In all game modes and Russ knows it, the "pro players" know it and the pay to wins .. the $ of this game .... probably don't know it go watch a video on it u tube "MWO worst players ever" and u can see exactly what this game thinks of F2P ... and yes I know what F2P IS. and I know what P2W is.if "FP" is "just Pro" why u need pawgs?? cause a lowly new player might stomp yer untrained over new shiny mech into dust?? or might last longer tan 2.5 minutes??

I like binging like the next man, but recommend a few hours of sleep in between before you start tweaking too hard. Makes you so much more coherent.

Felt more like a TL;DR moment.

Paragraphs and punctuation totally makes things more legible. That and non-excessive use of caps... except that's totally reserved and legit for the weekly OutreachHPG Monday thread.

I couldn't agree more sir. The incredible selfishness and arrogance of people in this thread who demand that the whole game be dumbed down just to cater to those who cant be bothered to put in the slightest level of effort.

sadly as I called it "the dervs and derps" still very active here, u can see by this account LOOK IT UP IF YER SO ON THE EDGE. played for 3 days staright got my rep w/ ghostbear clan had some real fun. but something just wasn't right about this game... the skill curve ... didn't really notice one at all , point aim click couple mouse keys "wasd" keyboard but noticed that comms got real angry when "u actually helped your team by fnding te enemy in LGTmechs" and the "none comm communication didnt really exist"
then a merc from a high end lance unit "u know who u are and shame shame shame" said "Marcus get back overhere rigt now THIS IA A PAWG" "Ubloody little american twit" whats a pawg O comm from the sky trying help our side win ... "pre arranged win game" and we are supposed to sit here till they come . too wich my reply was "WTF ?? PAWG" and every match sense that Faction game(hence posted in couple different spots) was a pawg. the servers of this are stacked aganst new players AND
the pro lances take advantage of it ... this IS very well known among the players AND staff .. wwaaaaa this isnt 5 letters long ... its t hard to read, things are miss peeled ,)
what ever this game is still a scham. the employees know it, the owners of server knows it, and all the players "theres no other mech games... ive spent too much on my mechs ... other GAME COMPANYS DO THE SAME THING" is not enough of a reason to keep garbage afloat ... ive tried not to use harsh language as "young adults do play this game" to those that need to berate and curse in a general chat room and troll some one cause of there typing ability ... u probably have both your hands ... JERK ... OOHHH I don't have the skills,don't under stand team work ?? not sure what "russ,s" twisted concept of team is .... oh ya pawg .. u think this my first account?? I typed earlier that I was asked to lead a loseing pawg (by an in game pro lance player AND U knowwho u are shame) and we wiped them .... then I was "in game penalized because I had typed too much" ... really ... I mean WTH is team based about that ... and getting yelled at by comms "FOR TRYING TO HELP THE TEAM WIN MATCH BY GIVING ENEMY CORDS TO MY TEAM"???? IN A PAWG?? ya sure I'm a"NEWB" but I'm still a customer ... even if "I" decide to F2P and not P2W. that is how pirahana "tricked me" into downloading this .. well cant even call it a game ... its on all modes pre arranged win games

first ... how did u know I was playing MWO too William shatners "cult classic" "rocket man" from his "1968 cult classic concept album" posted by www. open culture.com. before u "mock" again ... how many albums have u released?? who is right and wrong ? WELL 2017 most private MWO PRO teams "the ones that knew the servers ARE being modified with hacks from the servers themselves demanded a fair playing ground" . MWOs head honcho Russ said ... of course we will give u "a fair play field"
"we will make private servers for u to match with". now why would pro players demand such a thing from a company with such an outstanding reputation? BECAUSE OF ITS BAD REPUTATION. what year was it that 64 MWO players were thrown under the bus because the company GOT CAUGHT SCAMMING ITS GENERAL PLAYER BASE INTO BELEIVING THAT MWO TAKES SKILL and TEAMWORK. how many of the original alpha players still here after contributing 5 million in cash under the assumption that "this product will have" only to receive this current version of MWO ?? Canada needs to seriously look at MWOs main companys "Ula" "that al players MUST abide to or be banned" "and the umbrella of protection that "Russ" is hiding under to scam its player base". should the shroud ever lift ALL PLAYERS WHO HAVE MADE PURCHASES AND DONATIONS SPECIFACIALLY TOO MWO WILL BE REFUNDED AND THE INVOLVED STAFF MEMBERS PROSICUTED. dervs/derps/mods/owners/players involved in scam will QUICKLY be "thrown under the bus to save good old Russ" like he has before and will again .... cause he is the ... rocket man ..... make my own premade ?? and play your premade ?? really ... mic drop

What?

There are absolutely players in the 95% in IS.

BCMC's record is the same using either tech. In fact a lot of our guys are coming from playing as IS loyalists for years are more comfortable and do better using IS tech. Personally the Whammy 6R is what I do best in overall.

I pug in an alt for IS in a free to play account. Strictly as a pug and never in a group. My record is 47 wins and 56 losses with a kdr of 1.68. (if curious look up mechwarrior2470942)

I am not in the 95th percentile.

So either you are exaggerating or being disingenuous, but either way you're wrong.

Ummm, BS!!!!!

Utter and total BS.

You can;

1. Use LFG
2. Use Chat
3. Use VOIP (in game)

All above were asked for by solo to be put on even footing with groups. Use them.

Not only can use use the tools given to you you can further;

4. Make friends.
5. Join a Unit
6. Join a regular CW Group.
7. Use TS and all the FREE HUBs.
8. Re-read the warning you failed to the first time.

Ummm...most pre-made teams are really the same as PUG teams, just on TS and generally moving and shooting in the same direction. Thare are a few notable exceptions, but most units aren't professional players drilling for hundreds of hours a week. We just jump on TS, grab some friends and shoot robots while talking to each other. So if the mode seems unfair, just download TS, make friends and move with the group. That's the secret sauce to having a winning record in FP. Nothing else. No hacks or huge commitments, just friends and ability to form a passable death ball.

Also, if this thread continues, I'm going to collapse it under the weight of my sarcasm. I've already killed a similar thread, don't make me kill again.
