I wanted a big red title but I'm getting a small white one instead.
Hey my name's Vayra, can I get an invite to the unit or however we organize this? I used to play a while back, but I was never good.

I dunno he might just surprise us and have the ban wave during the town hall like a public execution.

Yep and if you can't get 750 by then time the timer runs out you tie.

I actually like Conquest and that's one of the dumbest ideas I've ever heard. Russ is easily one of the worst game designers ever.

Little off topic, but I made a twitch account for the first time to remind Russ about the Ban Wave. What is this poo poo where people pay $5 a month for stupid emotes and other bullshit. People really do this?

The money from the sub is split between twitch and the streamer so its an easy way to support content you like and you get the emotes and poo poo. Seems reasonable enough.

You now take a cbill hit for each point of damage you deal and if you hit a certain threshold you get a queuing penalty similar to the disconnect penalty

Here is the run down.

Archer

Russ admits they are bad at catching bugs because the don't test much

New Game mode no one will play. King of the Hill.

Polar is a good map.

Changes to conquest. Bad changes

New pilot texture this month. Russ had no idea the pics were out already

2k mech textures coming soon

If you do to much team damage or team kill get a penalty
1st 10 sec till can play again
2nd and on more time
Also more money lost for team damage
Resets every 8 hours. Also counts in CW
All so CS doesn't have to do anything

New trial mechs

9 new champion mechs and mastery packs

Ban Wave: sensitive subject, bunch of bullshit blahhhhh blahhhhh. MWO is as full proof as any other game. Our game is hard to cheat in. We do better than other game devs.

Blahhh blahh blahhh blahhh. Very few cheaters in MWO. Less than you realise. We have certain tech that tells us this. Less than 1 percent. A couple dozen.

Some players have not logged since announcement. We may only ban 1 or 2 people at a time and not do a name and shame list.

Tourney final will be held on site so no cheating there. We are creating ways to detect in other rounds.

Late March the tourney website will be up
Team size is 8v8

Oh Snapple!

lmao this is their way of getting out of it

a name and shame list is the only way to know anything even got done just because you can look for emp/lord/etc members to see if they got wrecked
