With the 4 man feature disabled. I have a master commando, maser phract 3d, master phract 4x and an atlas. I will permenantly forfiet my forum and in game account voluntarily if the developers turn this option off for one day.

Will the 8-0s disappear?

Will 8v8 live again?

Will the QQ's continue?

Will **rnaby **nes ever stop hiding in premades spamming auto-aiming lrm's?

... We may never know.

How would you forfeiting your account incentivise the devs to remove one of the game's features?

At least offer them cash, or pizza.

8-0s have been happening since the start of CB. It's just the snowball effect that sometimes happen due to no respawns.
Like 1 person goes down then it means it's 2 against 1 somewhere on the field and so on and so fourth. 4 mans can just do this easier with communication.

8v8s suck not because of the battles just because you need 8 people, consistently. If they made it so that lone wolf pugs can opt into 8v8s as a choice, so that groups can launch with less than 8 I think it would up the amount of 8v8 games.

Pizza would have helped make it a sexier offer...


D: why didn't i think of that...

But seriously, id wipe all of that our in a second for a single day of disabled 4 mans.

You watch those noobs wouldn't even go play eight man, they can't handle losing. They'd probably make "goodbye threads" flaming one another out the door and uninstall when they realize they never were a 80% win rate caliber mecher.

Tbh they're more like... Mechginas.

You'd have enough for many 8 man teams, if you werent all in seperate ts channels doing 4 man pub drops for kix.

Kix are great, for kids, but you deserve a more rich diet of destruction. You will find that in the 8 man games, not beating up on mr "omg what trial mech is best" and mr "umm how do i change weapon groups!"

Oooo! Yeah, definitely offer them pizza! Or Poutine! For the entire office!

[Aidan Malchor]

Solo, 4 man, 8 man doesn't matter. If your fail your fail. If they did disable it you would just find another scapegoat to blame.

[Sears]

Tbh, even I'd like to see the devs make so that if you launch a 4 man it pairs you with another in an 8v8 game. That would make people have 8 man teams with the 4 mans getting rolled.

Or have it so that if you launch in a 4 man it places another 4 man on the opposite team.

[SlXSlXSlX]

Aidens logic "Don't try it, becuase I personally predict it won't work."

*Facepalm*

Solid stuff son.

[Aidan Malchor]

It's not a prediction it's how it is. I play mostly pugs and I've yet to see a problem with the match making. With the 1000 or so games I've had since going open beta it hasn't been an issue. There's in game chat if you wanna work as a team, most people will still ignore it and do their own thing.

So if they do put pugs into their own matchmaking, the next thing you'll want them to nerf is if one team is not using the chat then it should be disabled for the other team because teamwork is OP.

Do curbstomps happen, hell ya they do. Doesn't mean it's pair of 4 man teams doing a sync drop. From what I've seen most pugs just seem to play follow the leader with whatever assault or heavy happens to be at the front. Yet it could easily look like 8 people on comms.

I'm not saying there arn't 8 man groups out there dropping together to boost their stats but it certainly isn't as common as all the tears make it out to be.

Oh and I didn't say don't try it, I said if they do disable it, you will just blame something else for getting a whoopin in game.

Aiden: "It's not a prediction it's how it is."

Couldn't make it past the initial glaring logical contradiction. Can you clean that up for us?

**Tries again**

So......

The pubs will cry for in chat to be nerfed if we suspend 4 mans for one day? And sync dropping does happen, but in your opinion its not very frequent, so no changes need to be made?

I think 80 % of the founders are scared of facng the other 20, or the 8v8 would be at least 1/20 as popular as wot companies were when it was introduced.

Saw someone type an excuse they didnt like looking at aridge for 14 minutes...

Bad news pal, welcome to clan wars.

The OP seems to be saying that if they developers turn off the 4 man queue for even a day, he will quit.

Or is he very confused?

A prediction would imply the future. "How it is" implies the present. At the present time you are complaining that groups on comms are beating the crap out of you at internet robots. If the devs have a stroke and listen to you and change up the matchmaking to accomadate you then you will just complain about something else that is the cause of you losing.

You will still be complaining, the end result for you will not change. Therefore how it is right now is how it will be if you get your wish. The only thing different would be your excuse ( and queue times which would suck ).

I do apologize if I used to many big words for you. If this is still a problem maybe I can see if they will add a crayon font so I can try and type it out in a manner your used to. I'll even try and keep it to 2 syllables or less for you.

[SlXSlXSlX]

Any logical arguments in your poo there goldie?

Personally I am doing much better in mechs to be honest, but that I got through the first three weeks, says little for most. Wot grind makes thhis seam easy. Seriously felt like I had an atlas with less effort than getting a Panzer 4.

Yes Id forfit that account and with it this voice. 3 weeks worth of effort in mechs they even have 360 targeting.

But you would never agree to it, you know that in one day everryone would see that your full of it. See the thing is, as the community shrinks, you individually become a larger part of it. You sir, would have to go pub or go 8 man. Where would you be?

People might notice.

Lol, not from what I seen your not. Though that ship in forest colony won't mess with you anymore. You taught it a good lesson with those alphas.

Really? Poo? That's all you have left to come back with? Not even going to try and defend your position?

[SlXSlXSlX]

You didn't say anything new. You said in your opinion the people currently complaining would keep complaining. You predict, and therefore it is.. arguments, are usually not worth addressing. But there, now you've made me address that you made one. You made a bad argument. It's logic, is unsound"

I dont think it will fix anything, so dont try it... YOU

Try it for one day, ill **** away 4 master mechs and stop bad posting, if you just try it for one freaking day. ME


Ones reasonable... One's responsible for the current community population size...

Any way to get this combined with all the OTHER threads wherein people are whining because the 1 in 10 drops with a premade in it are ruining the game for the solo players who think teamwork and communication are OP and shouldn't be allowed?

Seriously...this horse was beat to death and back to life many many times now. PGI pointed out that the stats do NOT support the solo player whine about premades dropping in every single drop and that's why the solo players lose, it's 1 in 10 drops and the solo players lose because they are playing solo in a TEAM game. Enough already, just ban the people who scream about losing as a solo player in a team game, it will NOT kill the game it will make it better.

[SlXSlXSlX]

Based on what stats? OHHHH! The ones we cant see. Well surely we can look at the server player counter.... err.... Never mind.

Like I have said before, here stands a reasonable argument to which no founder tester what not has a logical counter-point. All lines of logic lead back to your preference for the EZ win over GOOD FIGHTZ! Go look on the other forums.. penny arcade, etc.. theres alot out there. You'll have a much better chance not getting flamed by 30 fanboys posting there. General consensus among the community is pub stomping is fun/funny/cool and people were specualting and drooling about it since prior to 8 mans first starting. They knew 8 v pub was.. well.. what was it? Fair? Since then, alot of founders have left havnt they? Why?

Show me the server player counter. It is starting to look like someone is trying to hide something.

Heh, you know the developers could just make you forfeit your account permanently, at any time, without giving you anything in return.

[Mikhalio]

Protip:

8-0 games are caused by pick up game players having no insight to actually coordinate fire, or focus on a single target. This enables them to be picked off very easily by players who simply track and spot weak targets, and then join in on the focused fire train.

You should try it before adding more whines to the forum.

Very easy to turn a game when you kill their ECW, and yours is still alive.

Based on the stats PGI has, you know, that actual DATA as opposed to your opinion which is based on absolutely nothing but your point of view.

And what's with the founder hate? We actually have a vested interest in this game doing well, unlike YOU Mr Whinealot who has nothing vested and seem to devote a lot of time to these totally unfounded negative posts. You ignore the facts and continue to whine about whatever is the currently popular misinformation hotspot.

We get it, you hate MechWarrior and anything related to it, fine. Again, if they would simply BAN these totally unhappy people who refuse to invest in the product and refuse to acknowledge the facts and continue to post blatant lies, it would make the forums a much nicer place. And it would make them more money, after all, I see a company ignore the people obviously working to sink the game and I've got to think..maybe they are onto something, the company won't counter them or just remove them. Remove the whining sacks of **** already.
