I still run in my raven regularly, it's just as much fun as it's always been. But then again i never used to stand in the middle of a pack of enemy mechs thinking i was invulnerable, i've always been a big fan of hit and run type tactics which is how lights in my opinion should be.

I also run SRM6 rather than streaks.

Yea, I switched to an SRM6 in my Raven-3L after awhile while getting it to master. Doing a Jenner-D right now and instead of using 2xSSRM2s in it, I just use an SRM4. Always a pain though because so many people run Streaks in their lights because it's so much easier.

That's never going to go away completely, single players who think this game is going to cower before them never care to realize that a team isn't going to lay before them like a chick wearing sushi.

That is true, but I've found simply saying "Stick together" right before the match starts helps a lot. I win more than I lose, and even when a player runs off and dies, we still often win despite being down one or two.

Game looks better plays a bit better but still one sided matches. Still no rewards. Still nothing to play for. I will say however its nice to smear scouts again and not a Raven in sight... what happened to all you "skilled Raven pilots" that claimed that the lag shield was bs??? LoL thats right eat AC20. Still... game is a long way away from what it needs to be.

Thank you oh great leader. We will try to make you happy now that you have come back.

you know, i still see a lot of ravens around and nope, lagshield haven't changed a bit. still faling into situations where i alpha strike a raven or a cicada twice in they chest (one time he wasn't even running at full speed) and its armor haven't gone down a single digit.

I knew It would heat up with my Raven remark, sadly when I stopped playing 3-4hrs a day to once a week or so every match would have 2-3 lights and they would all be ECM Ravens. I have given MWO a couple hours a day in the past couple days and Far fewer Raven packs... well no packs at all in 8 matches. I did see one Raven and I double AC20'd him ~boom~.

I know they are working on factions and the star map... this is what I call rewards and a reason to play... to fit in the role of a fighter with a cause, not just C-Bills. Its not rewarding to me to just have a good KDR or more C-Bills than I know what to do with, even simple rewards like BF3 ribbons and medals, rank and unlocks. Personaly I think PGI missed the mark with mechs and its setup, everyone should have started out with one medium mech one light and a stripped down overheating assault mech. You gotta earn your right to get better weapons and mechs with exp unlocks and cash. The grind with uncustomisable poo machines and the one mech you wish you didn't buy first system is harsh on new players.

With what I have seen its a good step forward but I feel the baby steps being taken now may not be enough. Games like this require a large community of supporters. With what I saw in early beta I was impressed and I saw large improvements and thus thought that the game was on track to being full blown by this time or seriously close, as Yoda would say "Dissapointed I am".
