The reason that hunting the ecm mech was boring was because they removed R&R now it means nothing to kill off cheesy mechs... they need to reinstate R&R and increase the costs massively especially for exotic kit like ecm, tag, bap, guass, er variant energy weapons, pulse energy weapons etc. In addition in certain instances equipment is totally destroyed and needs to be replaced.

If this was instigated you would see a sudden reduction in ecm mechs as the risk would be to high for the reward of pug stomping, and these resourses would be held back for serious matches.

An for although who complain that this would kill the game... cry me a river I make Millions of cbills each we

Hek, its getting to the point were I cannot even spend the cbills I am accruing.

Agree, pre patchmas i had a 6SRM6 artemis cat that i lose money on everytime i run it (even for wins)

I run it for 8man only because it was not cost beneficial to run in Pugs.

There is no real matchmaker system, op. Complaining about something they haven't actually added yet.

I play in 4-man drops most of the time. I have no shame to say that.

A couple of reason why I play 4-man only:

• I am a declared Medium Pilot. Mastered CN9s and HBKs - if you meet me in a battlefield, i will most of the time be a HBK or CN9. I can screw around with other Mechs, but i m not even closely effective with them.
  
• 8-man drops are broken and killed my fav Class. being a Medium in 8-man is a liability. I play this game for fun, not because be competitive and spoil all of the broken code and unbalances this MM has at the moment makes me feel any better
  
• 8-man drops are no fun for my style of gaming and actually I am afraid there are not too many groups really playing it - the other day we were trying 8-man drops for training and if you have 2 or more teams of 8 in your Unit, i can guarrantee you set CONQUEST and you sync drop and you will play your team vs your other team 100% of the time because NOONE is playing around. On Assault, very similar. We played that, we were unable to find a match for long time, finally got something and we played. Then tried again and got the same team. No other ppl aroud. - This should tell a long story about how broken the 8-man drop can actually be

With that said, when we drop in 2, 3 or 4 ppl in my DHB group, we do not Sync drop. We drop to have casual fun. and I underline CASUAL because this game is nothing more than Casual.

There is no motivation, no scope other than merely kill others. I have no particular fun to kill Pugs. Actually i don t care who is on the other team or who is with us. We play. Most of the time we win, sometimes we lose.


Period. When we wing there are probably 4 or more Pugs HAPPY because they were on our side and there are 8 other players upset (possibly) on the other side because they lost. Isn t like this in any other game?

Another bit of a comment on the OP thread:
Gaussapults on Premades?

Man, you are behind a patch or two. Gaussapult are no more the Premade choice since pretty long time. Actually they are not the choice of almost anyone anymore. I can t tell how long i don t see a GP around and i play almost every day.

That group you played with was the only not aware of how Gauss is glassy nowadays?

E
tto
Bottom line, don t cry around. If it was a premade (which I am not so positive) your result being in a not communicating drop was quite good indeed.

Why transform a GOOD result in a new (old) ranting and whining thread?

We used to have friendly scrims between ARMD and DHB before the teamwork is OP patch

Even then we were playing 2a 2h 2m 2l... We can institute ecm limits to make it more balanced...

Will probably have to schedule weekend because of the timezone.

The game is unplayable as a pug player in the evenings and almost all weekend. Just ran into one group of premade stomps after another. One group was a sync drop of guys that I know - team of 4 and a team of 3. They are great players, yet they are sync dropping against pugs. Seriously?

What the hell are you waiting on PGI? Do something other than watch your playerbase be driven away by these people. I'm pretty hardcore MW fan, but even I've had just about more than I can take.

The common and lamest excuse is that they need 8man practice so they need the PUGs as target dummies...

I just got done with a drop on caustic valley. The end score screen 7-3 we lost and had one DCer. The telling thing however, the enemy team was solid block of 8 legendary founders Probably synchdropped. You know who you are and I hope you enjoy strangling what little life the community has out of this game. Someday there will be only 8 players left at this rate.

So because 8 people you fought against paid $120 to PGI makes them a group that chose to click two buttons in the unguaranteed hopes to get in the same match on the same side? That's just amazing, I am part of a group that has 6-8 players on a good night, only a small portion of us paid into the Founders program. It's funny for you to think that paying money to play gave us something that is guaranteed to kick the living daylights out of those that didn't.

I'm surprised he's complaining more about a mystical unproven sync drop that would have Pugstomped his group if it was an actual one (unless it's a team fielding ****** mechs for lolz (I've done 4 man machine gun drops)) and not about how he got capped with 5 players left like 25% of the forum (70% complain about ECM and the last 5% premades)
