You mad, brah?



I don't think he is mad, just a PUG who is honest enough to admit that a goodly chunk of PUGnations "affliction" is entirely self afflicted. Which, is true. Premades are near the issue when I am PUgingg that the "I'm a lone wolf, I don't take orders" crowd are.

I am indeed, not angry. To a veteran PUG who can admit most of the PUGstomps occur because too many people seem to take the lone wolf thing too literally.

I made that post because it was an option in the poll. Think I actually read anything that was in this thread, until this very moment?

Pug Teamwork...

"you open up their chest armor, you take all the damage, If you die I'll ***** and complain at you, If you stand in front of me I'll shoot anyway, then I'll shoot their internals and get all the kills."

Maybe, but sometimes you get the ***** teammate in a speedy centurion who does nothing but run back and forth in front of you, preventing you from getting a shot in, while failing to so much as land a hit on the other guys.

1. If a player is in front of you... then re-position yourself on different ground... mechs coagulating in a single area is a death sentence

2. better running back and forth than standing still, you stop, you die.

3. I did hit, what you see as "misses" are clear hits for me since I know how to guess hitboxes.

so... what else you got for me?

And since what he sees registering aint always what you or I see, or vice versa, thanks to lag/ping.

Actually to be honest the pubbies aren't all that wrong, something is up, but it isn't sync dropping alone.

Kong has been dropping small coordinated A1 boomcat groups with the intent on stimulating the community and everyone is starting to " play fool to catch wise ".

Right now theres a K2 and A1 arms race in the pubs and the pugs are losing their damn minds.

Some times it's so bad you feel like you need a bath afterward, then again some times you need a rebel to shake things up.

I think I saw you doing something along these lines once. Were you shouting:

"something, something, TOTALLY BALANCED something something I DESERVE 1000 DMG!"?

We've had games where the enemy does infact long range support gun us, or LRM us.

When they do this, we just force cap at 90 KPH or use an ECM scout or Hug cover and rush them all at once.

There is no counter, you'd need a really really really really good and cordinated group of snipers.

I mean, some of us carry JJ's.

Keep coming like this Sir. I want the practice on beating high power Mechs. And still have a mix of opponents so I don't get burnt out with lopsided victories(bored) or lopsided losses(Frustrated).

I only get shafted by the other team maybe 1 in 10 losses. Normally my loss is due to behavior on my own side. Failure to communicate or organize. It's not a pug-stomp, it's a Jonestown. Seriously, sometimes everyone scatters out of the gate so fast it's hard to get them all to grab their cup of Kool-Aid on the way out.

I voted yes. If someones answer or question does not agree with certain posters personal opinions they instantly jump to the attack. Which I and others have put up with for over 6 months. also. Understandably the attackers with a few exceptions all show the intelligence of the average amoeba. I apologize to the amoeba's for insulting them, bit I couldn't think of anything in the animal family that was dumber.

Moved this topic to the Off-topic sub forum, where it is more appropriate.
