How long am I going to have to wait for PGI to fix the blantant stupid that is in their game? I'm sick and tired of two groups Sync Dropping in and if they're on seperate teams they **** around until the non-members die. Assist in killing them or pretty much report to their other members where the few that aren't them are.

They then **** around on the map until the timer runs so you're unable to pull your mech for any games afterward. Basically taking your mech hostage as they walk around the map firing into the air.

Guilty as charged in the past.

It's sort of priceless to imagine the faces of the pilots on your team who are struggling as you run by two opposing mechs to engage some other mech in the distance.

...or stand around and watch having a sip of tea.

Exactly why I roll my eyes at the 8man thread, 8man is a ghetto.

cReddit doesn't synch drop, but when I see one of our members on the other side, they are the primary :)

The sooner that pugs realize they are fleshy targets until they can be weened out of the greater population to breed amongst themselves, you'll have to deal with sync drops.

People will do whatever they have to do to play with their mates.

Something PIG is doing their hardest to hamper.

Because PIG is so much easier than typing PGI/IGP. :)

The Word of Lowtax doesn't condone sync dropping since 8v8 was implemented. Sometimes we get randomly placed on the same team. In that case, suck it up and take your lumps.

And we wonder why people disconnect before dying. Its the only weapon they have by eliminating the reward of pug stomping. That AND protecting stats.

Yep, this game has everything in spades!

Bad bugs, bad balance decisions and now bad community! It's so good that I am seeing people say to avoid this game on other forums! Great way to support the game guys!

The biggest problem here is people used to think they were crash hot, drop against a few 8 mans that annihilated them and they quit back to 4 mans sync dropping to stomp pugs. We queue up for 8 mans and after 10 minutes of trying to drop and getting nobody to fight with we just give up and drop as two 4 man groups, this way we actually enjoy ourselves as were playing the game rather than sitting in chat twiddling our thumbs.

Can you make that into an actual sentence for me? It's like you've almost said something, but not exactly. And it certainly doesn't make any sense it its current state.

There is a reason this game hemorrhages players.

Eh, "hostage" implies taking forcefully for some ulterior motive. You're just caught at a family reunion, unable to leave when the slideshow projector comes out.

dirty secret...i have only ever synched because I wanted to kill my friends, not team up with them. PGI needs to set up a way so we can spar and fight in-group. Or at least have more control over who you fight. Not everyone loves the DeathMatch setup of HALO and CallofDuty.
