I agree when you talk about how well someone plays. I disagree, however, when someone hardly plays that class and spouts big words. That says much in itself on many levels.

Yes because Wishmaster is playing FP daily with me and my unit, but this isnt shown in the stats above.

Which again leads to my criticism about stat showing / shaming... it is in no way accurate.

And your last personal comment to my character...that is just showing how wrong these "i read 1 comment and know you" conclusions are.

I played so many matches with and against Wishmaster for years and because he is a mate of me, i believe him when he is giving an opinion about lights. So much about your analysis.

The only problem with Piranhas is that you can't just step on them when they are in your back. Looking forward to legging them more reliably now though.

Btw the new heat scale remains broken and terrible. It really seems to have affected meta gameplay. Nascar and potatoing is worse than ever.

Yes, Lights are ok, and i like them... and my score in lights is made with narc raven... trolling is fun too

[Ruediger Steiner]

I give up. If i learned one lesson in 20 years using the internet and forums, if people don´t remember what they wrote one page ago and pretend to know you from one post, stop the conversation.

BTW how did we even get from patch notes to light mechs?
And i still don´t have an answer from PGI, will there be a drop deck sale? Yes or no?

Should be 36 dropdecks to fit lore.

4 Mechs = Lance
12 Mechs = Company (3 Lances)
36 Mechs = Battalion (3 Companies)
48 Mechs = Square Battalion (4 Companies)
108 - 180 Mechs = Regiment (3 - 5 battalions)
540 Mechs = Brigade (3 or more regiments)
1620 Mechs = Division (3 brigades) http://www.sarna.net...Structure#Lance


And who else wants 1620 dropdecks!

Cherry picked just means somebody grabbed the best examples of something. Its not even a bad thing, most posted screenshots of scores are cherry picked or close to it. Its only an issue if you do something like try to use a couple of them and nothing else to prove a point, or if you claim they are the norm or average for you.

If you boat lurmies with no backup weapon, which I do successfully, you can make up for it with good positioning. For me it adds a layer of excitement to the match..

Ah, so you're one of those rare "LRM Brawlers" I've only known one other... Course, Stephen Grendal's Battlemaster IS usually at least had some lasers to go with too.

my point was more for the most part, people who do that tend to try and call out of their team for "not doing their job to keep people off them" when they have a pair of fast guys close inside 180, or worse, when they haven't been paying attention at all, and don't realize they're the last mech standing.. which usually means they end up missing really easy kills because.. you know... they can't do any damage inside 180.

It was their "position at the time", so it may not be be how they presently feel about an issue.

The patch rolls back some of the streak nerfs, so (bad) light MECH pilots are complaining (I said bad, because the good pilots are still getting high scores).

You were there when it all started.
1) One of the major points of the patch is the Piranha nerf. + very tiny or pointless buffs to the Panther;
2) There was a discussion was the PIR nerf necessary or not;
3) Some people said that lights in general in need of nerfs due to "lore", "tabletop", "bigger should be better", "can't aim", "can't aim with streaks", "don't know how to disengage arm-lock";
4) Some people responded that only select few lights are able to compete with good mediums-heavies-assaults and majority of lights are not;
5) Cherry-picked screenshots of "that's my average performance in QP" with double of his average score with the class, so "Lights are all good enough";
6) "He is my mate, so he is right, despite all facts telling otherwise";
7) Dude (who was telling us that lights should be "anti-infantry" and do "scouting", "objectives", "spot targets" in MWO) shows up on the last page and says that it all was about streaks.

You are the only person I know who does well in Raven, lol. I consider myself a decent light pilot and I can't make it work.

One small but really great update is the option to get up to 32 drop decks!

It is a great way to finally have a work around to get appropriate camo for each biome. Altough 1200 MC is a bit to expensive for my taste so I will wait for a sale to go full nuts.

So thank you very much PGI!


As utilizing appropriate camouflage is more common lore wise than most players suspect maybe PGI can check if "camo slots" could be implemented in the "camo spec" of the mechlab. It would be great to have the option to save different camo compositions and assign on which maps/biome they would be used. I would definitively use this feature if those "camo slots" would be purchaseable for a reasonable MC price. (Thinking of buying a lot of them for each mech.)
Somebody else liking the idea and thinking this might be an lucrative feature for PGI to earn some MC/$ aside from mechpacks? I mean individualization and cosmetics seem to be a good idea for F2P titles?

I can proove that these are not cherry picked. Its Wishmaster's usual performance..he is a 2k+ player in FP...without Lurming.

He posted QP screenshots. Nice proof.

You guys with your silly stats...they say nothing.

They don't tell the whole story but when someone posts screenshots with an average of 516 match score when their average in that class is 273 it's pretty clear that the screenshots were cherry picked.

Quote

You can play SoloQ with stat saving and say: "look how good i am" but actually you suck in every aspect except hiding.

I've never claimed to be good. In fact I admitted that my average match score is lower than Wishmast3r's.

Quote

The Dudes from CWCG (Wishmaster's Unit) is one of the most competent units i enjoy to play with. Idk how long this unit exists (15 years?), but they are skilled.

I never said he wasn't competent or skilled, just that the screenshots were cherrypicked.

Quote

Wishmaster's 1st post just should show that lights are ok, but you dudes are just stat-focused epeenie-*******.

All they show is that he had 3 good games in two of the top light mechs. In one of which a medium out-damaged him by more than 200.
EDIT: Actually 2 mediums out-damaged him by over 200 and in another match an assault out-damaged him by over 400.

Quote

He said Lights are ok, then i believe him.

Good for you. I don't.

Quote

But you dudes, who are you actually?

Irrelevant. All I said was that the screenshots Wishmast3r posted were cherry picked and showed evidence for that.

Quote

And before you look for my Jarl's: I hate QP and just use it for Trolling and leveling. But if you doubt my words i will go into Circle of Equals with you.

Wow. It's ok dude, I'm not interested in your stats or any further interaction with you for that matter.

Yeah I know
Booreal is not in Solo Queue.

Patch notes are for the whole game not just one que, rioght?

[Tina Benoit]

An update/edit had been made to the Patch Notes under Bug Fixes and Improvements which was initially missed:
- Players can now purchase up to 32 Drop Decks instead of 4.

[Drogo-MA]

I am trying to find why suddenly I am unable to play this game. For the last 3 years I have had no problems with this game and it's updates but now suddenly after the 22 Jan patch, my PC is suddenly lagging and I cannot play at all. I have shift my graphics down to low and also did a full uninstall and re-install and still the same thing. I have still 69 days of premium time left and I have a feeling if I don't get help I can pretty much kiss that goodbye. Any help here or point me in that direction.

[GamerPro4000]

Its not 1k damage, but i manage to get 8 kills for the first time on my piranha 2.

Nice crash in the middle of my match...I hope you people are working on this. Other players reported similar issues during other matches today
