I'm tired of seeing horrible special snow flake mechs in 8v8. My friends and I end up just destroying the enemy. It is not fun to farm players. I like to play for fun and this is just taking away from the fun.

If you have an 8 man team, try setting up timed drops against other 8 mans. The Remnant did so against AKA and had a blast.

I'm sick of people talking **** in 8 mans and then getting steamrollered.
It's getting boring.

Mechs that are special in 8 man drops to just be special. Like throwing a flamer on a PPC onto a dragon. Or something like a yen lo wang or hunchie in these drops.
It is bringing a spoon and peas to a fight containing 222s, tiger tanks and jagpanthers.

So far today there has not been 1 close game in the four hours I spent playing. And there isn't and goofing around wasting time. We're game spaming or clearing cache in order to game spam more. Yet it's just game farming minus the disconnects now.


I wag my finger of shame. Wag wag waggle. Thou Shall not ruin my fun.

He likely means not taking 5-6 Atlas DDC;s and 2x Ravens.

I've lost count of the number of 8-man teams running that config, and it's a joke tbh (even funnier when all these atlases just cave-rush (you know who you are ) and get counter-capped by a lonely scout who finished the match with 0-damage.

If they think it'll improve their skills or tactics for competition matches (the only kind that count imo) with either class-based or tonnage-based limits they're wrong, but hey, it makes them feel better.

Practice against massively over-tonned opponents on the other hand is very useful.


*EDIT* Not a dig at the above poster, but who even needs to "farm" C-Bills anyway?

Wait a second... you play for fun, but you can only have fun if you take the most cheesed out mechs to steamroll your enemy, and when you do this, you don't have fun? I wonder where's the flaw in this...

There is no such thing as cheese. There is what works, and there is what doesn't work.

Whenever actual competitive play happens with tourneys and what not there will be rules and regulations preventing stuff like that to happen. Until then it's the wild west.
