Sence non of my people I drop with are online I had to go solo. In about 2 hours so far doing solo. I have not won a single damn match. My payout is frigging terrible One time I got 3 kills and my payout was about 64K way too low.

Would be nice of MWO did away with Pugs entirely and force people to use an Ingame group finder with VOIP in order to play.

Or Make bonuses team separate Im always on top of my team but get **** for payment. I do high damage but not enough XP to get top spot. I try and get **** for it. Go back to old econ with that I made some damn C-Bills.

Sorry that your unable to adapt your play style for pugging. I pug much of the time and have no trouble winning matches or getting kills. That being said I do often end up getting stomped aswell. With pugs its all the luck of the draw, but that is no reason to try and force others to play by your rules.

You had bad luck.
I just dropped like 3-4 PUG matches in my Stalker to test it out.
Won all of them, with ~100k per match earnings.

Top spot doesn't necessarily get more CBills than anyone else. Top spot is based on XP, and CBills are calculated separately.

If you had 3 kills and lost, you got paid far more than your team. The only reason that was "64k too low" was because they came out with a new pay system this week.

The new patch lowered pay for everyone by removing most of the win/loss bonus pay and removing repairs.

I love how easily overlooked the obvious is. Unless he dropped each time against two 4 man sync drops then there are 8 other PUGs from the other teams that had extremely good luck and likely think PUG play is easy and awesome. For each winner there is a loser and the OP is that loser.

So, you found yourself the PUGstompie instead of the PUGStomper. So now you want the bread and butter of the game's community (over 50%) to be eliminated do to your humiliation. Then you wonder why we PUGs have been complaining that the new player retention rate (whom almost always start out as PUGs) is so bad.

PUGs should have their own 100% premade-free queue, the same way full 8-man teams have their own queue.

What I did when I first got here. I went to general forums and there is a sticky for non supported but encourged to use. Teamspeak servers. I found that No Guts no Galaxy and Comstar runs an awesome Teamspeak3 servers with a waiting room and pleanty of them in there. I never have to pug again if I choose not to.

Lol how could they force that? I don't pug often but when I do I don't find it as bad as you make it sound, sure is unorganized but all it takes is for someone to give a few basic directions and mostly people will follow

Did you compare your earnings AFTER re-arm and repair costs? There are times when my repair costs would go over 100k per match if my mech got banged up badly and I spent a lot of ammo. If by then I still got 60k left-over, it means I just earned around 200k (with premium).

What is happening now is that they made your repair and rearm costs a flat fee, as if you got banged up badly and you used a lot of ammo. Which means you're earning less compared to before if you fought less, but more or even if you fought hard. It's an incentive to bring the most expensive mech you got and get into the fight and get torn apart and spew ammo like there's no tomorrow. There is no reward to scrimp and save.

Ha! Pugging Solo is the true test of individual skill...sorry you didn't have a team to carry you :wub: 50/50 W/L Pugging is a decent average...strive for it. It also requires a completely different playstyle as learning to watch your team is key. Good players are easily identifiable, and mechanical gestures, such as head nods works wonders. There's a txt chat in the game..use it. Can't hack it? come back and complain some more you don't have a crutch....or...you could, like ya know...make more friends :(

Someone said that the people he plays against are too good so we should remove them. This is it. We've reached the end of the forums.
