MechCon is harming the state of the game. We got two Ghost Drops in a row as IS, and we received word that a Clan group also got ghost drops. We have no pugs as they are all at MechCon.

Long Tom didn't do the job? Spawn camping didn't do the job? Pugs vs 12 mans didn't do it? There are a lot of reasons fp died long before mechcon came along.

[John Bronco]

There's no FP event, thus no FP.. Didn't you get the memo?

CW died for me with 1 bucket. Who would have guessed Mercs are not very loyal rofl

so, having friends is hard to do? because, that's a 12 man. and the key to stopping spawn camping? Use competitive builds, and work together for once. Oh! and lrming *from* spawn usually doesn't help.

EDIT: I mean, face it. the moment anyone that does not have a competitive mindset at all goes against people that can build decent mechs and work together, and hit the broad side of a barn in a game as slow as this, and not use lock on, is when they break. So basically, grow up. Please.

MechCon is far from started, right ?

But I do agree that having Ghost Drops on a prime time Friday is really unusual : If MechCon is to blame, then it's going to be packed with supportive MWO players

I didn't ghost drop, but it took me ~20 min to get a match... against a very MechCon unsupportive premade

I couldn't even get a FP lobby for most of the last week.

The absence of news/momentum/development in the three months prior to MechCon always stalls the game.

That's nothing new. But it's mostly because they waste a staggering amount of time, money, and resources on this idiotic event instead of using said time, money, and resources on game development. New maps, for example.

Read title, laughed.

That's like saying saying "If you bury that man he will die!" Getting hit by a bus previously was just a set back.

(chuckles) I think...(crap when did that happen..) what the OP means is.. majority of the players who are on the way to Mechcon play FP and their absence is being felt... population-wise.....

HAHA! You amuse me with the grow up bit. Sadly science has proven my body can no longer physical grow but thanks for asking about that. Oh about fw any coordinated group can overcome the lesser coordinated one. As for 'competitive' mindset that tends to vary a lot. See I've been here for about six years so I've done time with those 'competitive' mindsets. In fact at my height of fw play I was doing three hours four nights a week with a unit which lasted two years.

Some people only see winning a match by any and all means as the only way to have 'fun.' Others like me simply don't give a **** about playing like that. Seems your one of the 'competitive' mindset. Does it hurt to lose? Or do you just go meh and onto next match?

[Syso69]

Faction Play please don't die! You are the reason I started playing this game..

I go meh, and onto the next match. I have big boy panties that let me deal with more skilled opponents on a loss, and try to get better at the game. Instead of "WAAAAAAAAAH! 12 MAN! WAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

FP?

Bravo for you! It's always fun meeting someone not afraid of those big scary unit tags. Seriously pugs freak the f out when they see a full 12 man. Getting better is good too. I use to fail so much until I got into a decent unit. So you in a steady unit or bounce from unit to unit?

I run one, and have a comp team.
both are small, and fairly unknown.

Cool.That's not easy to do. First unit I was in had a lot of in-fighting over chain of command and who was better or best at drop calling. Many times the DC (drop caller) would fail to take into account members' mechs and each members' play style forgoing someone's expertise in an area making them do something which they were less skilled at. One instance being trying to make our most experienced light pilots try and play and drop assaults as much as possible and try brawling.

How competitive the unit? i've been in,very briefly, those must use meta and win or else units which had no problems kicking someone from the unit after a loosing match for something as pathetic as not going to a grid when said grid was impracticable for the unit to move to due to their mech speed and the combat action going on.

Also something to spice up unit life. Try random member themed drop nights. All ac 20 ravens or 3l er ll sniping training night.

Then sync drop together with that Clan group.

CW died for me with the faction play events, a pain for true loyalist faction players.
So stopped caring and switched over to Battlefield V.
