Hey, guys. DSx is recruiting again. If interested, add me on MWO: "Gunfighter-1"
You may also add me on Discord: "attilathepun89"
All you really need to do is come play with me in QP. If you're already at a point where you're scoring 350 damage or above in QP, then we'll go ahead and try you out on our Unit Nights and see how well you mesh with the unit. All new recruits will be taken in on a probationary basis - in which a month is the standard probationary period. After which, you will be called to a Trial of Entry to earn your place within the Diamond Sharks as a permanent member. The main requirements are that you can work with a team, have basic comms etiquette (like abiding by battle comms), and are respectful. Respectful being the key word and the state of politics being what it is, I respectfully ask that you try to avoid bringing political discussion into my groups. Politics are too divisive at the current time, and I would prefer to focus on the things that you and I can actually impact in-game.
We're aiming for a requirement of 350+ damage per QP match on average in decent, meta-adjacent (or at least well enough performing) builds. I will go ahead and tell you up front that we do not like "Battletech builds" or swiss army knife builds. Neither do most people and units in Faction Play. So if you are already doing 350+ damage in builds we would already typically be running (or are not far off), then all you'll have to do is just play with me some during the week, and play with the unit on Unit Nights and develop a sense of cohesion between us - and learn how things are. If you fall below that mark, as long as you're willing to try new builds or accept additional coaching on how to better your gameplay, I will make time to teach you what I know personally - and see if I can help you improve enough to bring you up into that damage range.
I am on MWO almost every day, except for a day or two on occasion where I have to break to manage a health condition. So if you add me, see me on, want to play with - just shoot me a message on Discord. We are based in North America, but we have many European players. We'll take anyone from any region who can meet the criteria above, assuming they have a decent understanding of English and a little bit of patience, are able to drop some with me during the week, and are able to make Unit Nights on 4pm US ET (8pm, UTC) on Fridays. We are a little bit of a skeleton crew during the week at present. Most of our members come online during Fridays for Faction Play. But if you're looking for someone to play with during the week, get in touch with me and we'll play.
I can typically be reached Monday through Thursday from 7am US CT (12pm,UTC) to 5pm US CT (10pm, UTC). On Unit Nights, I show early (3pm, EST), to organize and prep 'mechs for drops. Saturdays and Sundays are personal days, so will be generally unavailable and uninvolved on MWO on those days. Every few weeks, I have appointments that will make my availability a little more intermittent. But during those I will check messages and answer any questions - assuming I have service.
