Yes we know you fish for anti-cauldron comments every match. Obviously you are going to find a few people that agree with you.

I'm personally ecstatic with the changes. So many more options to choose from.

I rarely fish.. i did it twice today out of something like 30? matches.. That was from the first bite today.. the second one they could only name one guy that drops sometimes bear claw.

This is where people get me wrong.. i'm all for changes.. just not unnecessary ones. Same thing could have been achieved with more targeted buffs and a couple NERFS

Anyway I post those 'bites' to keep egos in check..

Well that's a waste. Such weak 'bites' cannot stop the push, my Ego is far too tanky to be stopped by anything short of factual evidence! And even then, If I can get a team to back me up, my ego's deflation will not be in vain!

Nah, the game was nerfed enough. The buffs were targeted. They buffed what was underperforming.

In a nutshell, uPL damage nerf, HPPC heat nerf, Snubnose PP nerf but with added splash.

Aside from medium pulse lasers? Yeah.
They made TTK pretty low for lights for a weapon that doesn't require aim.
ATMs were adjusted not buffed. They lost their 3 damage per missile stat.

The game isn't twitchy at all. Your trolling is getting old. This game is nothing like COD.

They lost their 3 damage per missile which was one of the biggest offenders in terms of TTK.

I haven't noticed UAC2s in great volumes... AC2s yes, not UAC2s.

Just this month alone. Not including the 10 days last month post-patch. The following numbers for this month are very easy to find for anyone that might wish to educate themselves on just how much Cauldron members play.

Krasnopesky - 67
Navid - 185
Bear - 63
D A T A - 70
dario - 30
Jay Z - 114
Brios - 210
Sean Lang - 231
Bows3r - 192
Myself - 70


Additonally there are still 6+ users I have not listed as they have not been overly making themselves known because when you get accused like this, why would you want to? Among the 10 players I have listed there has been a collective:

1,230 matches played in 12 days by public Cauldron members.

~100 games per day and it was likely similar last month post-patch.


How do you expect anyone to take anything you say seriously when you make constant false statements like these?

Have a good think about what you're doing here and stop spreading this constant deluge of misinformation in the game/community. It is just not fair on people or players to be mislead like this.

1,040 matches played in 11 days by public Cauldron members.

Just shy of 100 games per day and it was likely similar last month post-patch.

This is not even counting the amount of decent to excellent players constantly in the lab + playing consistently, giving vast amounts of info to the Cauldron. Most of which aren't in the Cauldron themselves. This really has become a community project of the highest effort - and the numbers prove all of it.

Daed, as usual, you're being dishonest.

At least they made me come back and test new builds. Fiddling with the mech lab is a good part of the enjoyment of these games...

I'd be happy to submit my feedback too as a returning veteran with average skills... (did lots of drops in QP and experimented with a lot of new builds)

I guess DAEDALOS513 will just ignore your argument and ramble on somewhere else like he always does.
He also will defenitly respond to this post but without addressing the fact that you have totally defeated his claim that Cauldron guys are not playing QP. This claim is really preposterous. Even in my time zone I have seen plenty of you guys playing and the numbers speak for themselves.

Jesus, even I've spotted a lot of those names in the low grade shitmatches I play.

Also, totally unrelated, is it possible to block someone's posts on here?

Yes! It's a bit unintuitive and hard to find since you need to go and edit your forum profile to do it. Like this:

[Bowelhacker]

Much obliged!

In all honesty, people disliking the cauldron's changes seem to be a distinct minority, judging by this poll: https://mwomercs.com...changes-so-far/

Granted, this is just on this forum, but this is also the only place i'm really seeing any pushback against the cauldron, so...

Anyway, all of the people I used to play MWO with are now coming back, we're dropping together again, and some streamers who I saw move on are now playing again as well. The cauldron is what MWO needed a long time ago, and things can only get better thanks to them. They've played the crap out of this game at all levels of play (QP, comp, FP, 1v1s) and they know what they're doing. Have some goddamn faith.

[x Deathstrike x]

Funny thing is DAEDALOS513 who is so outspoken against Cauldron changes did not vote in that poll to express his opinion. Don't know what to make of that.

strange.. that looks... familiar.


on a related note: I get that PGI haven't got anybody left to deal with the ancient-mythics-code they use for their game, but giving us an 'ignore'-button on the forums..? it's not rocket science, and it's several years without something that's a feature in any forum since the early 1990s
