So, we're on grim.

We start on the platform side. It's skirmish.

I teill team that I will run straight to where the other team's assaults will emerge on their way from spawn to platform. To G7 where the other team almost always wants to go to meet our team.

One nova follows me.

I mark an awesome and land a few hits.

There's a catapult with the awesome.

I distract both a bit. We trade.

A thunderbolt had apparently turned around as well and runs straight at me.

And a stormcrow.

By now I realize that basically 5 - 6 heavy and assault and medium mechs are turning on me.

I retreat and use my fantastic headset to communicat the following in the English language:

'They are completly split.

Rush G7 now. You will destroy them.

I repeat. They are hilariously spit. Just push G7 right now all of you'.

The entire team - our team - stands not at G7 but at the other side of the platform. All of them. Looking at G7ish.

Everybody except the nova and myself....

Our team doesnt react.

They stand there.

No reaction.

I shake my head, and repeat: 'Guys....half the team is here chasing me. GOGOGOGO G7'.

They dont react.

Naturally, we loose cause those cowards are so bad that I quite frankly doubt that even one of them has ever in their entire life approached a hot girl.

Are men not ashamed when they look in the mirror and only see a complete coward in the mirror?

And that were T1 and 2 players. Not that the Tiers mean anything. But that's jsut so weird. You provide game winning intel. That would have been the easiest stomp in the history not only of mwo but any and all pc and video games in the history of pc and video games.

They just stand there. Timidly. Indecisive. Waiting to get massacred finally so they can join another game and get cannonfodder-noob-style dominated by superior, better simply smarter players.

God, i really dont enjoy to play with those cannonfodder players.

H'wat's this? Oneda's off his meds again? An influx of rant threads should fix that right up!

It's a pug game and you expect all of them to just start answering your commands?

You also need to be aware people can turn off their VOIP and team chat, so there's chances some people never heard you to begin with.

Well, you can rant so much, cause mwo players are such weak examples of men.

I like those players that immediately communicate. They react. They either ask 'wanne push here or there....wanne meet their nascar? Or should we nascar'.

Or they have an idea.

And theres those teams - sadly so many are like that - that just stand their and do....nothing. They say....nothing. They do.....nothing. They cant even understand when you tell them simple stuff.

I can literally see them in their lifes. Just like in mwo they stand there timidly in their lifes. Never risking anything. Never being adventurous. They dream of cute girls but would never even dream of going for what they want. They are confused little babys.

So unattractive. I have no respect for such ppl. They are so weak.

I have the greatest respect for ppl that say 'okay....im kinda not so confident in this or that area but I wanne improve'.

I like helping ppl and I coach young or not so young men to be more confident, coach them e.g. how to give compliments to girls or how to practice social skills. how to be more congruent.

I respect ppl that at least try.

But those ppl that are daft stones that cant hear or see anything, never move, never ******* go for anything......i just cant respect them.

This game i just saw....****, I wish i would have recorded it and posted it here so you could all see.

That should be a mandatory video for new mwo players to watch. To see how you loose. Over and over again. how you just stay the cannofodder dood that feeds the kills and stats of all other players.

Quite pathetic. Who could respect such ppl.

Sometimes they listen, but more often than not, you have assaults lrming from 800 m.

Because one solid CT hit at 500 meters screws you for the match.

Haha damn...it really feels good to rage and let it all out. I do that regularly. Raging hard and wild s3x is the best way to destress. I can only recommend it.

god, i love to rage.

It makes me happy.

The game is kind of weird in that it often rewards personal cowardice with high performance, while almost universally punishing team wide cowardice in match failure. It creates a strange, and infuriating, dynamic.

Are you serious? I mean, are you seriously judging who is 'man enough' or not based on how you perceive others are playing a video game? That there is actually someone out there that judges the quality of a man by his gaming skills is high level nonsense.

This kind of sums it up.

It is very hard to trust someone you don't know. I mean how do we know the guy who is yelling through chat even has a clue, we don't know him after all. Also with it so easy to disable your ability to communicate and receive communications and turn this multiplayer game designed around people interaction into a pseudo "Single Player" experience where your teammates might as well be AI controlled Bots, well yeah all you do is go along from the ride.

Now that doesn't mean you shouldn't point out things because occasionally, sometimes, it turns out to be really helpful. This is why I don't turn off VOIP even though I don't use a headset myself (hate wearing the damn things).

I think there's something to be said about correlating how people live their video game lives and how they might go about real life. Of course using video game skill is silly, but someone's willingness to seek challenge might translate, and of course someone's willingness to lead, organise or work as part of a team.

Edit: And I have to add one I'm sure you'll agree with, raging on coms and blaming everyone but themselves. You know those guys have issues.

And another, putting too much emphasis on their own skill in a game, makes reasonable people think they don't have much else going for them if games are so important.

Too weak for the randomness of pickupgroups?

Go play comp or group queue,
in this safespace you will know your teammates and their builds,
and they will also use ts and maybe listen.

This type of behaviour in game has been around since the beta, it isn't going to change.
You cant control the actions of people in QP all the time so just chill and move on to the next match.

Who knows maybe the next team will listen

Bads gonna bad.

3 KCom dropped in group queue last night. We were with 9 people who took LRM lights and sich. The other side was like AWOL and Emp. I was happy I got 200 damage before we got destroyed. 7 people on my side didn't break 100 damage, 4 were sub-50. That's just how it goes. QP is the same. Bads are gonna bad.
