Seriously though, if the meta in one Division is giving you problems, swap to a different Division; there are 7 of them for a reason.

Or just wait a few a day or two for the high performing players to be boosted to high ELO, then you won't have to worry about facing them.

Dang... just sold my Vindi because I never use the thing.

Never sell a mech. Ever.

Advice I happily ignore. Rage selling my Nova Cat was well worth it, and I don't care how buffed it may be down the line.

Eh, wanted to do an overhaul of my Catapult and Thunderbolt while still being able to afford a Nightstar.

Who didnt see this happening. It was always going to be meta wins.

[Funky Bacon]

considering that the Vindi-1x can easily get over 20+ extra armor on each section (except head) with over 30+ on the CT I'm not surprised if that mech is doing really good.

Tried 2 1vs1 games. Died within 5 secs (vs. Uziel with 2 RACs and Vindi-1X, see above). Going back to QP.

No fun.

Get stomped some more, you'll end up at with your ranking placing you against less skilled opponents in equally poor builds, aim, and ability. That's how ELO systems work. Keep winning, play against other successful players. Get curbstomped, end up with similar levels of target practice for opponents. Everyone starts on the same level today, so the sharks are in the minnow pool until those with sufficient gitguds have risen above the point of the scrapheaps waiting to happen.

Or you can just not actually deal with that bit of reality and go back to QP, secure in your delusions. Solaris just insures that there is no illusion between you being good or bad- there is no team to use as meat shields or to blame on your wins or losses.

It's really not for everyone. A clear look in the mirror can be more than some people can stand, not when there's no massively biased PSR system to push everyone to the point where they're "good, I'm in Tier 1".

[Zephrym]

On the plus side, the toxic, member measuring git-guds will be so busy in Solaris it'll make the queues more enjoyable and fun.

It is not machinegun, it's his MRM40 and massive missile quirks.

Dont worry enough of these whiners will make PGI murdernerf any "OP" weapons in the game like mg, flamers, rocket launchers and lurms. Dont you worry at aaaaaal.
I might be overreacting, but it have happened before with some logical reasoning.


But who am I to judge, havent even played a match in S7 yet.
Cant say anything really, the game decides to go " NAHAHA, you didnt say the magic word NAHAHA!" and shuts down. The game lasted long enough for me to paint my mechs and test out some of them heroes.

the problem is that theres no proper counterplay to punish certain builds

currently the best way to beat the best builds is to play similar builds

which is boring

[Kaeb Odellas]

I feel like if maps were about 50% bigger there'd be more variety in builds.

Read the novels guys. Solaris 7 in the lore is all about seedy cheese. It's not a nice place. It's not a fair place.

People actually thought Solaris 7 in MWO would be "fair"?

Well, I cannot say you're overreacting when the flamer got nerfed even before the mode was released.

But then again I guess I should be very thankful it was not banned as originally planned.

[Variant1]

his mrm40 is whats doing most of the dmg, the mgs are just a small add on to firepower. Most likely uses the mgs to crit exposed structure hek the small lasers do more damage

"let's increase wait times for every game mode for everyone, that will surely keep people playing and attract new players"

[oldradagast]

Who would have predicted the problem everyone predicted would actually happen? Shocking!

Yeesh... this is the FP "let casuals and pugs play against pro teams" idiocy all over again. We warned that was a dumb idea, and it was... and then folks warned that Solaris would never work as proposed, and it's failing already.

Give it a week or so, and the Solaris queue will be as dead as the FP queue.

So, seen the same guy twice now in 1v1 div 7.

Vindi 1x

2xsmall laser. 1xMRM40, 3xHMG.


Guess how fast he chews through pretty much everything, he's ranked 3rd on the boards right now... no losses.


but you know. "mg's arn't a problem."

And if he keeps playing, he will stay very high on the leaderboards.. And that's what's gonna happen.. the end of season rewards will always go to the same few people..
