Just get in some brawlers, sometimes you win sometimes you lose, but it's always fun. Bonus fun if you have a ghost dad and SRM stalker and can make it around the flank to touch enemy butts undetected.

If you brawl and lose, at least you joined the battle and went to Valhalla, all shiny and chrome

Much better than humping a hill and dying from a thousand paper cuts

If you're a heavy or assault vs a light, back up into a wall or corner to deny them the option to circle then start shooting legs

Also yell in comms for your lights to come chase the loving light away. If the light bails out don't chase, but take a couple more shots at legs while it's running away

If you manage to leg it before it escapes then by all means kill it and say :rip: in allchat

lol @ getting goons to stay close enough to the Assault to cover it.

Themed skins and warhorn packs is something I would buy. PGI would make it stupidly expensive though, so maybe not.

I've found goons are a thousand times better at not letting assaults get molested by lights than your average pubbie.

I really think we need to get goons on board with leg shooting. I've seen so many newbirds pissing damage all over the place lately and it upsets me.

Also if you're on skirmish there is no reason to meet the enemy on their terms, set your team up with a clear line of sight and be patient.

But you are robbing them of the greatest feeling in this game, that of killing the pesky light that is trying to circle you. I don't normally yell at video games, but legging or doming a cheetah or Jenner that has been circling me makes me talk poo poo to my monitor every time.

Corn's solution to this is a very enthusiastic assent followed by a sincerely confused "What?"

Repeat as necessary

Getting a vocal pubbie that's serious about the game is a treat. If you can't think of an awesome way to mess with them on the spot, being cheerfully stupid will almost always yield funny results. An added bonus, being stupid but cheerful is Silence proof.

Never angry, always happy, always uncertain.

also since I have managed to find my screenshots despite GabeNs best efforts to hide them from me, and dickwaving scoresheets seeming to be a thing again, have these:

I'd be interested to see what a full lance of oxides is capable of if anyone wants to try it

Making the impossible possumable
Black Knights are pretty tough shits, from my experience fighting them. Their hardpoints aren't anything to write home about, though, but their quirks are alright.

They also look vaguely like a Zechariah from the Super Robot Wars series, so there's that as well. v:shobon:v


This reminds me of the Jenner I saw a long time ago that had 2 ERPPCs and no armor whatsoever.

occasionally you will have a group of pubbies that ignore what you tell them and run headlong into the enemy team, and suddenly it's 12-8 without your being able to do much about it

pretty much only in that case it is the pubbies' fault

I had a game this morning on crimson and we were in the tunnel with a firing line outside, one guy just yolo charges out and dies instantly, the next guy behind him who literally just watched it happen without moving then ALSO runs out there and dies horribly, and no they were not grouped or anything... Oh and also I'm tier 2 and was solo pubbing.

It's almost always the pubbies fault. They are super dumb.

Also I just thought up the best thing ever. If we ever stomp another team 12-0 in an all goon group we need to record the match and then give the last enemy player the death star achievement.
