Yep, let solo fans of organized matches migrate over to GQ. Should help queue times for that mode.

And how much tonnage are you going to give them? You happy with the 200 tons for 2 scaling down to what 50 or whatever a crab weighs for a 12 man? Would be way worse and way more common to see 12 assaults if this was permitted. How or is there even a matchmaker at all in GQ or does it literally just randomly grab any combination of 12 as fast as possible? If there is 8, 6, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2 is it always grabbing the 8 and 4 or does it maybe group the 8 and 2 and 2?

I'm sure PGI can find a good tonnage limit for solos, if they try.

You haven't played 10 QP matches in 4 months, and have 63 games of record in the 2 months before that.
It's public data. So yes, this post was about 'being a real man, and using a keyboard like a real man'. You don't even play this game. Comms are integral to teamwork and success. If you played the game as it is designed to it's fullest extent you would realize this. Have a good one!

Target calling is very important for me. There is no way I would disable my VOIP.

So far VOIP has helped more than harmed. And that's all there is to it.

^THIS

Really, anyone who just blanket-mutes the VOIP is an idiot....

Mute the morons who annoy you..... move on... the rest of the players not muted might just, MAYBE, offer some good intel that turns the match into a win??

this was recorded a few days ago. You can also communicate with keyboard to your team, its not as fast as voice chat but i prefer it that way

It isn't just the additional battlefield information via comms but also the atmosphere when an old grumpy battletech vet does some good dropcalls in a game that otherwise only has bitchin betty and mediocre soundeffects (ok some of them are pretty good).

That's definitely the most quality argument here for turning it back on, I guess I am just not ready yet? Hmm.

Had a marathon QP run today with a decent amount of good matches, even made some text combat calls and had the group move with, both turned out to be unsuccessful by narrow margins but it was restoring to simply see the attempt so thanks for all involved, and apologies for any in game abrasiveness in general, those moments can make it so worth it, but at times the environment of random pug drops with such massive skill/care variation can breed such toxicity (in others but also myself).

Agreed... Wait, you mean them right? Or my muting QP is horrible and needs to stop?
I'll assume them and agree again.

I'm sure that loot bag event was a huge boon for you. Where was all of that furious real man keyboarding? "HEY GUYS IM JUMPING OVER TO THIS BUILDING!" "I THINK ONE OF MY MISSLES HIT!" "THANKS FOR THE CARRY!"
That's a very inspirational video. Troll Tier 1 accomplished.

I mute t annoying individuals. The majority of those I encounter who communicate are worth communicating with.
