Back playing MWO after a half year break. Missed a lot so whats your top 5 annoying things in MWO atm?

After a few games so far mine are:

1. The unreasonable xp grind (the reason why i stoped playing for half a year)
2. The skillmaze
3. LFE-sidetorso-loss-heatspike (seriously why was it changed?)
4. Consumables = win
5. Lurmagaddon even before the LRM changes

[Monkey Lover]

1. No real updates to anything.
2. atm pop tarts
3. lrm assaults
4. rac light flash(unable to see)
5. only 3 light mechs worth using.
6. heatspike

[SomeWeirdAssGuy]

1- NASCAR. Seriously, stop, turn around, hold your ground and shoot them in the face. The only thing nascar accomplishes is your assaults lagging behind and getting **** on while you run away.

2- Side torso loss heat spike. I can't even. Makes no sense, serves no purpose other than piss off players.

3- Reaching Tier 2. To me it felt like I got dropped to the bottom of Tier 5. Players don't communicate, they don't help teammates, they only care about their own K/D and hide behind you so they can shoot a little longer.

4- Players hiding behind you and using you as a shield. Seriously **** off.

5- Players being clueless to the light(er) mechs wrecking hell while they focus an assault, or not trying to finish low health mechs and shooting a fresh one. Get your priorities straight, LRM the lights, rush the mediums, swarm the heavies and assaults.

1) Nonsensical dev justifications for nonsensical "balance" changes.
2) The dropping population and all that that implicates.
3) That many forum threads nowadays include one or more posts with something along the lines of "but according to the Battletech rules..." and respondants don't dismiss this out of hand.
4) the engine changes to C-XL and LFE...it just an unfun mechanic that sucks.
5) that despite nearly 2 years of nearly nonstop balance passes, and my having played chase the changes for as long as my SP and GXP allowed, most of the mechs I had before skill tree are still not worth playing, and those that were the tops back then still mostly are now.

[The Lost Boy]

1. Lack of meaningfull faction play.

2. More maps.

3. Ability to use ANY mech available for cbills as a trial mech.

4. A little more consistency from PGI for what they think is OP. They nerfed the dual gauss ppc combo( 45 ppd ) , but allow the dual heavy gauss( 50 ppd ). Either both are ok, or neither. What they have now makes no sense.

4. Free c3 locks

5. Other players.

Those are my top 5 because I've kinda had enough of seeing T5 level users in my game because they somehow made it into TT1

[Cazador88]

I don't want to copy Cyanogene or HammerMasters post so there are some stuff, but i can get around balance things, its just the way competitive games work so not much one can do about that. The most irritating though are the players IN QUICKPLAY specifically. Every damn one of them knows better how the other ones should pilot their mechs but if in a rare moment you see one of those people piloting another mech class they oh so knew better how to play, they actually perform even worse than they did before. Was there an influx of returning players lately? Ive reached tier 1 not long ago and its actually worse than it was in tier 3.

[Valdarion Silarius]

1. Nascar

2. PPC ghost heat and ghost heat in general

3. Assaults and heavies chasing lone scouting lights

4. Clan laser nerfs (should be doing better damage overall)

5. Artillery harassment when you cannot see it

You'd better off making a "top 5 NOT annoying things", much harder to find those.

Mine would be:
1. Mech art (pre dynamic geometry) - most of the time a beautiful upgrade from the TRO art.
2. Cockpits - so immersive, so very well done, both visually and as idea itself.
3. Urbies - all hail our Saviour and Salvation.
4. Graphics - while aging, still good.
5. ....and i've run out of ideas. Maybe good support department? Never had the need to submit anything, but people say the most positive things.

Everything else was a letdown, to a degree. Mediocre gamedesign, slow feature development, rubbish UI, poor performance, community management, toxic matchmaker, grind, perpetually broken balance, cheap sound effects, madenning mud fog on some maps, boring monoboating meta, laggy menus... But most of all - lost potential and wasted time.

Ugh! How did i managed to get so salty in the morning... And the most bizarre paradox - why do i still love this game? Because i do.

[it comes with a cup holder]

1. The game is not optimized - fps drops + low fps in general
2. Lurmagddon
3. Nascar
4. Faction play should be the main focus point of any further developmet time put into this game.
5. Remove consumables.
