looking for some people on the east coast or est to play some matches for upgrading my skills. I am not bad practice never hurts. just hit me with a friend request

[Skiddywinks]

Hey guys, so is there a way to enter MM in a team? I'm getting stuck with some poor players quite often and we just get stomped, so I'm looking to play with a team of similar minded people if possible. Comms is a must.

Edit: If you look at Cybermech's original post here, you can join up on there.


Check out the different Teamspeak servers available http://mwomercs.com/...e-chat-servers/. The NA Comstar and No Guts No Galaxy are popular servers that lots of people play on.

If you want to join a mercenary unit, a lot of teams are recruiting. You can check their pages out http://mwomercs.com/...corps-outreach/

Yeh, I'm already sat on TS waiting for some English-speaking drop pods. I was more wondering about how the whole team MM thing works functionally, like I can't even see any options for it etc.

[Cybermech]

Skiddy you might want to go to the NA server and not the EU for english speaking drops.
Not sure what ye mean by "team MM thing"

In the lower right hand side of the mechbay window there is a little tiny button that says social. Click on that and a tab will replace the news feed on the right hand side, from there you can use the tabs across the top to navigate to your friends/groups/invites/blocked tabs. It's from there that 4 man and 12 man groups are formed. I would definitely suggest getting on either of those TS servers (something I keep meaning to do at some point).

Wicked, that's the answer I was looking for. Thank you for that.

@Cybermech, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. Thanks. As I understand it, all actual game servers are based in NA anyway, right?

[Cybermech]

yep american servers. canadian developers

[Joseph Mallan]

A very friendly thing you got set up here Cyber. *Thumbsup*

[ShcElwolfman]

My friend (backwardspenguin) and i are looking for a couple of peeps to play with, preferably mentors to teach us how to play better. Pm if anyones interested (were both medium pilots if thats an interest)

[Hexy Smexy]

Raven 3L pilot looking for a team of some kind, or just people to play with really.

Feel free to PM me if interested, though I'll be out for the day. I'll get back when I can =)

[Skiddywinks]

Just thought I would come back and say; joining that TeamSpeak was one of the best MWO related things i have ever done. Everyone is friendly, helpful, and just enjoys playing.

Highly recommend to anyone who... well, anyone.

[Cybermech]

just as a FYI for people, its not a recruiting thread.
no problem with ye posting about it, just wanted to say its an information thread for new people to be able to communicate with players on comms.

hope you guys got responses.

Hey I am not sure if this is the right place for this. (sorry if not) but I could use some help please if anyone can help...
Right now I can not play MWO, because my my Joystick is unsupported, so no matter what I adjust in game it does not help and due to that piloting is very hard... I know it's a bit old, but hoping someone might help me out maybe with a patch so I can play a bit until I can get a new joystick.

My joystick is:Microsoft Force feedback 2...
I am able to get it to work with my Windows 8 and many other games...
but would love any help I can get to get this to work I am a long time Mech Warrior fan!

Any and all help would be great, many thanks!

[Cybermech]

welcome Antikorper.

I wish I could help you, as I have never owned a joystick myself.
I would recommend that you post in the hardware section.
If you notice there is a sticky for joystick users but since you can't get it to work with other games, you may not have much joy with it

hope someone can help ye out

[Geek Verve]

I've been playing for a few weeks, now, and I think I've got the basics down. I'd like to drop with some folks on comms to see just how much better the game can be with a properly coordinated effort. I also know there's a lot I can learn regarding tactics.

I'm going to jump on TS this evening (Eastern time) and check it out. Thanks for this resource!

[ICE IX]

Two questions. I just registered last week and found out that my current system is not up to par (currently using an ASUS laptop for T&E). I am now in the market for a high-end desktop/tower pc and accessories. 1) What pc architecture (dual core, I5, etc) and pc brands are recommended for MWO play. 2) What would be a good PC headphone/mike to use for MWO? Any help would be appreciated.

For what it's worth, my understanding is that MWO provides only minimal joystick support, but promises patch upgrades for this sometime in the future. In the meantime, I have heard that some Joysticks work some don't. I have an ancient Logitech 3D pro from my MW4 days. It works great for movement, but it's a nightmare to target with, in MWO. Some joystick users here have suggested a work-around, targeting with a mouse. Unfortunately you need three hands to do this (with mouse, joystick AND keyboard) and still be able to maintain fluid motion at the same time. For now, probably the best thing is to do is practice and become proficient with the mouse/keyboard configuration... ...until the upgraded joystick patch(s) become available, that is. Personally, I prefer using the joystick, which, for MW4, provided a "run-and-gun" capability that you just cannot get with any other controller/pointing device. It is sorely missed here, as mech "run-and-gun" would add a whole new dimension MWO. The joystick patch upgrades cannot come soon enough.

Hail fellow Pilots,

If I may have a moment of you time, as it were, it has come to my belief...well frankly I suck.
Be that as it may, was curious if anyone would mind taking time out of their schedule and would
help me become a better pilot, or at least less of a walking dead RVN.
Unfortunately I should have known better than just to buy one of the first slightly used mech's I came across,
and listened to the sage advice I have come across here on the forums, and now trying to save the hard earned cash
(by hard earned meaning, the equivalant to finding the pennies in the local parking lot) to get something a bit more
how should I say this, more heavily armored machine to hopefully let me stay alive longer than the situation I currently
find myself in.

At the moment I am stationed overseas in Okinawa Japan, so that puts me 13 hours ahead of EST. (7am here is 6pm EST, the day prior)
And I currently work nights, so by the time I get off work most of you would be at work yourself, and or off work and I am passed out in
my bed.

But if any of you feel up for the task it would be greatly appreciated.

[Cybermech]

Hi Mallard and welcome.
Lolz we all start somewhere

Just Log onto TS, the NA server.
Join any channel and just say hi, it is that easy.

Remember you don't have to join any corp/guild to learn how to play.
