Write down the names and send them here;

If you have a recording of the shenanigans in question all the better.

I try to always have FRAPS running in case of this. Haven't had to post on it though. Only seen ONE blatant cheat in months, and the account quickly disappeared. Usually it's more like I make a mistake and my team is running in 3 directions.

1) Is an Issue with the current Patch and the Powerdown sequenz

The don't walk again on your display after they have been powered down und quick started by P
but they still have the normal walking.

4) Headshot. Somtetimes Problems in Damage noticing. Have you been in this "Heavily" Armored Mechs?
Some Atlas Pilots stuff their Ammo in the Legs and to get more inside, they remove the Armor of the Legs....
Was in a Stalker were the Armor was undamaged after some fighting then got hit by a raven and everything was red ( then the Damage was updated for me)

5) 360 Degree and Target Decay works wonders. You can trace a spottet Mech for about 4 Seconds when
he is already in cover.

This is an animation bug, dunno if it is state machine related or something else, but when a mech shuts down, some times it gets stuck in a frozen position.

Lol....the thread is a good mirror of the current community as a whole imho. Shoot first, think about it & ask questions later.

(The TS not so much, he asked, though the topic title is already a bit biased.)

So alpha striking people with high damage setups as they walk around a corner is cheating in your country?

I'd chalk that up to the 5 being terrible at aiming/ spread out more than the one guy cheating.

Hey Santa, I assume you play PUG?

I have been oneshoted probably once or twice in over a hundred games now. Its close to impossible as long as you keep moving.

But I got alphad quote often to the center. My Awesome has 75 armor in the center body...still a cataphract managed to kill me in a single burst from around 200m distance. It is skill yes, but I dont think it feels right if one of the heaviest mechs in game can be instant killed by hitting him to his hardest armored part... I dont know how you can place a 75+ alpha into a cataphract... or how you still get center torso hits if you constantly turn your sides towards the enemy when they fire. Maybe its the netcode...some sort of lag...

as long as its beta full of bugs and problems many strange situations may occur...i doubt that the game suffers from heavy cheating.

altough, i consider playing premades against PUGs cheating...PGI should seperate the players that click the social button from those who didn't...could make it harder to find a match sometimes, but that would still be better than being murdered by premades constantly.

PS: no xl engine, no ammo stored, its a 6 LL awesome.

1: The awesome has a huge CT, it's fairly easy to hit even from the sides.
2: supperating pugs from premades would do nothing for you, you would still get rolled just as often. Uncoordinated teammates contribute to your losses just as much as (mostly uncoordinated) premades.

That can happen easily if the 1 is untouched by combat and fairly good and the 5 are all pretty heavily damaged. It could happen even if they were not and the 1 is very skilled. Most likely though, those 5 have seen a bunch of combat and the 1 hadn't and was ready to go. Also, some people seem to have VERY bad aim in this game.

Headshots will do that. Also the 6 PPC Stalker does 60 damage to a single section if it fires them all at once and carefully. If it isn't an Assault mech and is running an XL that will rip most torsos off of mech and hit the engine.

Like me? I like to scout and use a bunch of Sensor mods. I also have my graphics all the way up on a good solid computer so I can see you across the map if I zoom in. I have also literally followed other mechs around running right behind them and lighting them up with TAG without firing while people dropped shots and LRMs on them. They might know where you are because someone is spotting for them from behind you or VERY far away.

Thanks all the reply.

1) Ok, got it bug ^^ no problem

2) Most of the times when you jsut "camper" is preatty easy to win. If you show a bit of you face, bam you are dead.

3) Probably, but really some mech, don't know why are very hard to kill, even from behind

4) Most of the time is a gauss cannon, but really from a far far distance, i'm a catapult, even from more that 700 mt. That's why i'm asking. Is a bit frustrating.

5) Yes probably ^^

Thanks!

Also keep in mind they can see you in thermal vision much farther out than they can target you.

true, my skill is really bad. if others can kill with a double UA5 in seconds, and i cant, its my problem. unless annoying things like netcode, lag and playing on lowest graphics settings adds to it. i just cant spend 1.000 for a hyper machine giving me ultra resolution and graphics where i can ppc sniper over half the map. so i am doomed to get snipered like that by an enemy i just cant even see, because my computer cant handle it. not PGIs fault, but still not satisfying.

hm, recommending end game content like modules is probably not a fair advice for beginners, huh?

i am sure that seperating PUG from premades would make a difference. i would like to know how many regular PUG players believe that premades' advantages are not unbalancing matches at all... I play 10-20 PUG games a day, since November. when i play on a premade team, the chance to win increases drastically, even with me being such a bad aim and not much help, unless you encounter another premade team - then it all depends on the level of teamplay and training of each team.

PUGs are good at improvising, but always on their own. Its pure luck if your ECM comrades give you cover/disrupt so you can use missiles or if someone helps you get an enemy Raven off your back. You cant even cry for help, using the chat tool will kill you in any fight. The whole game has been layed out for team/premade which is fine. U cant argue, that PUGs on average have the same chances of winning as premades have. Individual games can run differently, a PUG team can win by causing chaos and confusion through their erratic actions alone, even against a premade team. But that is pure luck, not skill/not tactics/not fun.
