what about a week with out things where no need for skill?

no skill: lrm, ssrm, ecm - and esspecially ravens

[Koreanese]

Lasers are where its at. Screw missiles

[Sikosis]

dude really?

everything requires some degree of skill. . . just because there are enough broken aspects of this game to cover every pilot in the world with a nice snuggly "dum-dum" blanket, doesn't mean you get to arbitrarily dismiss everyone piloting certain mechs with the "no skill" label. How about a week were we see no posts whining about symptoms of issues and instead we see meaningful posts that address problems versus other pilots or perceptions that are often just wrong?

I'd prefer a week without whiners.

This is a great detector of whos a no skill missile boater. I would not mind this at all just to listen to the frustration of all those affected by it on the forums. 90% of the people who play this game play it because other real FPS games are too hard for them. .

How about a week where we only get to use machineguns and Flamers?

LRM use requires some tactical skill as you need to use both placement and timing for the best results.

If it really bothers you, think of the LRMs as the E in a PvE+P game. There, feel better now? How about some hot chocoloate and your teddy?

Really, the LRMs are not that much of a problem now.

How about if we are limited to only being able to throw sharp-witted insults at one another?

Not to mention that LRMs EVENTUALLY MUST run out of ammo. After that, they are useless HPs. I love it when I'm standing behind a building and it's the building getting peppered by hundreds of LRMs. So long as my immobility isn't costing my teammates, I know full well that the tide will turn when the missile boats run out of ammo.

Then again, there's AMS and ECM as counters for those boats that DO still have ammo left. It isn't really such an overpowered weapon at all.

it is realy nice you nobs, i have 15, oh 13 mechs, dont like catas, (sell 3 cats) but they ok:)

and it is realy boring stand with a atlas d-dc behind, and fire 1800 lrms...... - in a premade ok, but for normaly users, hard and i have no fun by it. @ xiang

And what i see last weeks: if something is better to make a kill - many have it - look at raven, before ecm not many have one, I tried raben in cbeta - it is the same like cats, not my thing, but raven was before this, a tricky mech. And for that the new Jenner is the Raven:)

and a week direct fire will be very funy - i think!

- and not so boring for 2 atlas (lrm) d-dc with 3 ravens......oh 5 ecm (in premade not easy to handle, but can work -- in random groups, mhhhhhh) - where is the skill please (try to hit a raven with 2x gaus - that is skill)

John wayne had skill - Juck Noris (ok new threads) in joung years)

So they play an FPS that is way harder than the normal FPS because other FPS are too hard? Your logic is...quite sound. I think you should get off your high pack mule, enjoy your game, and let others play how they want to play. Missiles are a part of the Mechwarrior universe, and they certainly take just as much if not more skill in this game than they do in others.

i see the prob:

- in premads all can work and it do -- thats realy good - but that ppl know what they do! (or was it only 1 who know and say?)

- but in random game nothing work together - that ppl dont know what to do

and for that we need a ranking - with out no skill things:)

and a low fps is realy no skill - it is funny, read forum for cryengine 3 - this thing need a litle only a little bit of power (nobs)

Lasers are for noobs, real pilots use ballistics.

I was about to say the OP's probably that ignorant type of player that walks out in the open, dies to LRM fire then complains they're "OP".

Then i had read your comment. I decide to go with you, a week without whiners. Sounds nice.
