Ok, will delete video. Do not need suggestions.

You realize, of course, that he was just being friendly and offering help, right? There's no point to acting like that was some kind of mortal offense against you.

I mean if you posted and deleted it after one person looked at it then I'm curious what about it was "true mech piloting." like I still don't know what you mean by that

He means an 80 kph Bushwacker with two SRMs, two Medium Lasers and Heavy Machine Guns going at it in Zimbabwe.

Yeah, and you were offered help. Which you rejected. So... who's being salty here, exactly?

I didn't ask for help. Making the obvious how MWO is (in games) in the forums. Person asked for a video. So I made one, and their was more to it (training), than going to Zimbabwe. Soon after, ...."video going 80 in a bushwacker, I do those... ."

I'm honestly just curious what you mean by "true mech piloting."

so far I haven't seen you give a coherent definition

And yet, right after you rejected it you went on to state you're leaving because nobody is helping you.
Maybe, just maybe, before you start accusing everyone else of toxic behavior you should take a long, hard look on your own actions and words first?

It's not the speed alone that made it an odd duck, it's the fact it was fairly slow for the task, yet despite that speed it was also fairly undergunned. If you're doing brawl on a Bushwacker, I would strongly recommend packing a P1 full of SRMs instead.

And firing SSRM/SRM when in range. I believe I counted 5-6 x they were fired when the target was out of range, some by a few hundred meters, that is ammo he cannot get back. 2 weapon groups, likely due to only using a 2-mouse button or issue with 3 button or other reasons. Use of a macro/autohotkey to keep Tag active would have helped a few times when trying to target ECM mechs. And ignored the caps after the first cap, lost the game due to all caps being max out by the enemy, even though he had a few kills and over 600pts in damage with the loss. At one point he did have keyboard issues w/forward/reverse movement, and he noted likely had hit a key combo or something.

T3.5 reset to T2 then the valve change and back to T3 and now back to T2. I find that I am now gaining more ground than I am losing. Just stay strong and you can do it!

I don't want to be T1 but it seems the match maker is forcing me to.

I'm a solo pug, playing on a potato and piloting unskilled, unoptimized mechs and yet I'm still rising through the ranks.

Even my Jarls sucks compared to the ePeeners but still this new PSR system thinks I'm one of the best around, and no one can seem to bring me down.

[General Solo]

But your the sub section of the player base that has been designated as cannon fodder for the greater good and as you say "ePeeners" is that not so?

Just checking!

Be careful- if you make it up to T1 you'll find out how hard it is to drop rank.

By that time it will be too late.

[Ignatius Audene]

Ofcourse u will rise. Your wl is over one in the last seasons and your avg match score around 270. Pgi wanted a quick and dirty change to psr and not a full rework/new MM (which i can full understand given the lowpopulation). So with time pretty much everyone above 230 will rise again. Just the hardest faults of 40% jarls in tier 1 are fixed.

@oneteamplayer rly guy take a break. All your posts and your ingame chat show, that u don't have fun currently.

You're probably right.

I just get progressively angrier by the day with an ever widening ring of targets only tangentially related to the original catalyst.

Is it still a skinner box if you know you're in it?

Ever watch an old cherished hangout get neglected, weathered, and vandalized to the point the city is going to condemn the building?

Doesn't doing so help with heat? Do not have to wait for reload. Everyone has their way of piloting their mechs, using weapons. We all can not be the same.

You can fire 6 ML just fine.

Kodiak, Night Gry both could've been killed easily with an alpha strike and slightly lower mouse sensitivity.

All seems okay for me. Weapons usage. Mouse sensitivity, and more. Why are we going there? Should I use a different mouse pad?

two big issues with chainfiring:

1. it forces the player to spread damage more than if you let loose with all of your lasers at once or at least in two groups
2. it forces the player to stare at the enemy and lets them pick off components at will

chainfiring is good if you're near heat cap and the situation calls for pumping out damage or if the enemy is crit one-touch and you don't want to waste heat killing him, but when someone chainfires at me all it means is that their damage spreads all across my mech and I core them out v. easily

I just said why.

That kodiak would be dead and that Night Gyr missing a torso at the very least.

My apologies. Yup.

[cougurt]

you should be able to alpha strike almost indefinitely with a 6 ML crab. the only thing you're accomplishing by chainfiring is hindering your ability to deal effective damage with a build that's already undergunned for the tonnage.

also consider the possibility that the match may not have come to a 0-5 in the first place had you assisted the rest of your team on top. you're fast enough that you could easily bail and return to your assaults if necessary, rather than being completely out of the fight for ~2 minutes.
