and ive seen PUGs in action a lot more than you have..... and I can tell you now, Coordination is the only thing going for Premades....

We also spend more time playing the game than we spend it dead, looking helplessly through our teammate's cockpits and so we have more skill than you. We also make more money than pugs, and so we have better gear.

It's also their attitude. The kind of person that is going to get on ts and try to work with other people is more likely to accept advice and constructive criticism than some random guy who insists on going it alone. (there are exceptions of course)

The above is:

A) A broad generalization

B ) An opinion

C) A stereotype

D) All of the above


The only attitude I see would be your negative one.

My experience on the TS server is basically people yelling/whining the whole time when others don't do exactly as they say, despite the fact they are winning (easily). I've never heard any real advice ('your setup sucks' isn't advice. Was not direct at me, at others) or constructive criticism.

Anyone that tries to be helpful is usually drowned out by the idiots.

I've seen way more helpful people typing furiously away in pug games than on the TS server.

Question:

If Pugs are more skilled than Premades, why do we need a phase 1 and phase 2?

not all PUGs... but a good portion are Highly Skilled Players and like ive been saying... Premades have Coordination over PUGs...

and Because PUGs vs PUGs = Random

[Bad Electric]

I am looking forward to pre made vs pre made.
am certainly not the best player, but you only get better by fighting skilled opponents.

would rather lose to an 8 man than slaughter a bunch of people who don't have a chance in hell of putting up a good fight.
when planetary capture arrives and your in a team, you will have wished you were fighting competetively or against other coordinated groups. not to mention it get's boring just blowing up defenseless mechs.

just my 2 cents, let the flaming begin...

OK, fine you've convinced me.

All pugs are better and have more skill than anyone and everyone that has joined a team and plays as a pre-made.

None of us should be organized in any way, and they should just scrap community warfare and the meta game and have this be deathmatch in mechs Online forever.

PUG = Pick up Group = Completely Random Players each Match

You must have endless patience to be the only one on your team to get 3-4 kills only to have your idi0t pugs c*ck it all up.

Is this a troll post? I've never seen anything remotely close to this on the TS server. And if my clanmates aren't on, I'm in Dropship #? every time I get on. Never seen a single negative-attitude player. Not once in 270 games. Not. Once.

The complete Randomization of the Matches, new players each match pretty much... basically a new challenge each Match, and thats what keeps me interested in playing PUGs, I couldnt stand playing Premades, would be boring and I would go play something else lol

This is the Pug sailing through space without us to guide him. He soon drifts into a black hole and finds he can't whine about us any more.



Without us, the Pugs will have nobody to watch play and learn from. Instead they will learn things from each other like "Who can shoot their own leg off first", or "Let's race to run out of bounds!" They will never become great, sadly. Goodbye little friends. We will miss you.

December 4th now, you should probably quit now I guess.. don't cry too much.

I can live with the Loss every now and then, and with this game, sometimes it only takes 1 Skilled player to make a difference and turn the tide of battle, not saying that is me... sometimes I have been able to turn the tide, but other times it does come down to Teamwork, and I have seen PUGs work very well together

Win/Loss is pretty much 50/50, even with the few PUG Stomps... I havent played since players figured out how to exploit 8 man Premade teams, and PGI just lets them get away with it, without just fixing the Match Maker Problem in the first place...
