... I think I'll just write memes now. My face is red from all the facepalming I've been doing, reading content on threads for which the only possible response is for a jaw to drop.

We used to have people talking about whether lasers should have knockback or knockforward based on their actual physical effects. People talking about the mechanics of lagshielding and whether the issue is a ping related one that regional servers could solve, or a code related one that even throwing servers at wouldn't fix. People talking about weapon balance from mapping TT values (and how the RoF change without an associated heat change disrupts the original balance), from gameplay perspectives (to mathematically match their damage output to weight, heat and ammo restrictions to avoid weapons from being useless)... how to change stuff to keep the flavour of equipment while not making stuff necessarily useless. People talking about suggestions on new game modes that could lead to more desirable gameplay outcomes. There was the crowd which made noise on stuff they didn't like, but they almost always had a specific solution in mind that they fed back over and over again.

... what happened?

impatience i think, open beta saddly said game is ready for you new players and they took it litterally then got upset when tactics outwitted them and stopped the pew pew. we'll have TDM soon, bye bye tactics bye bye objective's you thought 8man's got empty check out conquest a week after TDM is implemented....

sorry guys lets get back to meme's

Actually i participated in closed beta under another name ... and now that open beta is here, things changed, but not only because of free users ... also from some founders that think they know everything better than pgi ... people "losing faith" because they want it all NOW. Sad story bro.

Well, there are some other very big differences between Closed Beta and Open Beta.

Doom thread in Closed Beta:



Doom threads now:



So... I suppose there's some assumption that there IS something to destroy now, at the least.

Nonspecific support threads then:



Nonspecific support threads now:



Though some things never change:















Good times.

i knew i ****ing knew it! RAVENS CAN'T FLY!

I don't always fly in my Raven 3L, but when I do, it's because I'm using higher ground to deliver a flying jump kick to an enemy mech's cockpit.

Stay feisty my friends.

(True story. I do this whenever possible.)

Ok, made the meme on imgflip's meme generator, and tried using the url for the meme with the image to edit my post but got a "you are not allowed to use that image extension on this community" error message. What did I do wrong?

When you've clicked "generate meme" and the image appears, click on "image page", then right click and copy/paste the image.

Do not use the url that they give you. Hope this helps

Here we go, thanks for everything Kenach!



And as far as DFA goes, technically, I am performing them but so could anyone else. And no: for the moment, it doesn't do anything other than look wickedly cool. Practice, they say, makes perfect, and I plan to apply this to all my mechs. For instance, while it's a Highlander Burial when done in a Highlander, I figure when I do it in my JaegerMech, I'll refer to it as the JaegerBomb.
