OFF MY MEDS AGAIN PLEASE DON'T USE BIG WORDS

UNNECESSARY LINE BREAK

But wouldn't that mean joining the LRM Ppc Gauss crowd, only voting for Fox Only, No Items, Final Destination?

Nobody should do that. I shall stay in my brawling mediocrity of not torso twisting for damage mitigation good sir!

Though playing other games is a good choice too. I'm thinking to DOS it up on MURRICA's birthday with some Shadowcaster.

After a lengthy discussion with my old friend Riyott, he has decided to step down as Dear Leader. He does not have much time nor motivation to play these days. He has appointed me as the new Dear Leader of WOL. You may now bow to your new overlord and protector of all MWO goons.

Question: can I get a bunch of free Mech Bays by picking Loyalist for a faction, hitting rank 2, switching to a different faction, rinse and repeat? Or do you lose the loyalty rewards when you desert? If the answer is "yes, you can", is that the best way to go about it?

Ok, it was freaking close cause the enforcer aimed in the general direction of where the last one might have been some days ago, but he cored him before he lost his second leg which was red already, but a win is a win.

You used to do this without penalty but they added a ten match waiting period where nothing counts, and a cooldown after you leave.

Do scouting matches count for the ten-match period, or do you have to go the full invasion route?

Okay what the gently caress, so in Invasion mode you do NOT win or achieve anything at all by destroying the Omega cannon? It's just an utterly pointless decoration and it's actually 100% just regular deathmatch? What the loving Christ, this is absolute :psyduck: even for :pgi:

This only applies for Counterattack. Regular attack and defense is decided by Omega.

The whole point of counterattack is that the cannon has already been blown up, so shooting it more is kinda dumb. In the normal attack mode, yes, blowing up the cannon ends the game.

I don't understand why PGI increased the size of the Firestarter. (but decided not to even touch the Arctic Cheetah?)
I don't understand why PGI increased the size of the Panther. (the loving Panther...)
I don't understand why PGI decreased the size of the locust to almost comical levels. (seriously just compare it to literally any other mech.)
I don't understand why PGI decided to make a new minimap. (who the gently caress even asked for this!?)
I don't understand why PGI decided to gently caress up Frozen City. (RIP best map in the game, thanks)

So, there's a magical place in MWO. It's called "Tier 5".

Tonight I was messing around in Tier 5 solo queue with this robot. Despite my Hunchback's somewhat inspired build, I somehow ended up alone against 2 enemy robots with my entire team spectating me. At least one of the enemy robots was an Arctic Cheetah. I waddled over to the enemy base, and somehow this happened:

Rescaling was a very PGI thing to do. It normalized mech volume to mass (because I guess every mech is perfectly consistent in density for some reason), and made a bunch of numbers on a spreadsheet look nice. It didn't fix half of the mechs it was meant to fix, though, because the Griffin and Awesome aren't any smaller now. It also hosed around with a bunch of random mechs in the process, making a bunch of lights bad but some middle-weights better. It was a shitload of work to do nothing to improve anything.

Basically everything but the lolcust and catapult got bigger. :pgi: used this as a way to fix all their terrible hitboxes and act like they were doing things. None of this poo poo matters since the game is still boring team death match and unless there is an event or other drunk retards to play with this game is trash. Thank god I refunded my penis hawk preorder. Will not give these pieces of poo poo another dime until they string Paul up.

Heh likely to eat a ban in game for calling out the cheaters in community shitfighting.

Is the VND-1AA good? The trial version convinced me to get one and I've been running basically the same weapon loadout of 2PPCs and a Med pulse laser. I'm not a very good player and don't know how much dmg is good. I'm having fun at least but I'd like to know if I'm using a lovely mech.

You seem to misunderstand the situation. Riyott is NOT the leader of Higby's Heroes. Cpt Murphey is the space dad of the regular unit. I am the captain of the MWO2016 tournament team, and the brilliant strategist responsible for all our team wins. Riyott was so impressed with our superior tactics that he decided GIRL would be best off left in our hands while he takes an extended break from multiplayer gaming.
