Whenever I'm feeling sorry for my self and the last 4 beat downs in a row... I come to this thread for a good dose of "your not alone."
Thanks.
Great as well to hear Matchmaking is still working. I was worried.

I am finding it interesting that when I keep dropping in going balls to the wall against full squads, not only do I usually get a relatively decent score for damaging high level opponents, but sometimes I find invites from those clans waiting for me in hangar, clearly a sign of respect or appreciation that I didnt just leave. I mean people can do whatever they want, I wont judge, cuz this game is totally 「fluffernutter」ing imbalanced and has so much lag its ridiculous. So when certain people tell me they dont see the point in dropping anymore or they don’t wanna give the enemy squad free silver, that’s fine, just move on to the next match to get out of queue with that squad, I don’t care really. What I do kinda care just a little about though is if our team is giving them a run for their money and you quit just because you saw a full squad of clan tags and didnt wanna try and see what happens. I mean, ultimately I dont really care cuz I just go bonkers violent anyways, but it would be nice in some situations if people would have some balls to just go bonkers with me regardless of outcome. I play to win, but I ultimately dont care because I know you cant win them all. My baseline is that it is fun to try shooting 「dookie」 in this game even if, like recently, it is 5 Khepris and a Demeter against me all by myself. There have been times, and luck would have it, that me and randoms beat full squads, even some of the toughies out there. In those instances I would say tactically speaking, it actually came down to clever beacon thievery on our part, and a big mistake on their part. So if you are in a good clan/squad, here is the big mistake such squads make:
When you are in a good squad that keeps steamrollin, there is a danger you get a little presumptuous and cocky, and in that frame of mind you push way too hard taking all beacons and pushing the enemy, and while you are in a ravenous feeding frenzy you dont realize that 3-4 of the beacons have been recaptured by your enemy and you are missing a teammate at your feeding frenzy. You know where he is? Fighting a couple enemies by himself trying to regain a beacon. So tactically speaking, my suggestion is to be less presumptuous, take a head count of you and the enemy at the feeding frenzy, and pay attention to what is happening to the beacon bar, because it is not at all unheard of for people like you to lose to randoms. Who you lost to really though, was your own negligence.

We all get our own path to walk. What is so frustrating about it is the amount of times I have clearly lost a close match that one or two more bots would have made the difference (not one or two more players, just one or two more bots), then you go to the stats and see that someone clearly bailed out. Getting squad stomped sucks, I get it. But I’m with you in that you should hang tight and see how it goes. If you’re down 10-0 in a TDM match, probably a foregone conclusion. But I’ve been in several matches lately where it starts 4 or 5 - 0 and come back to win or lose a close one. Early on can just be the setting in barrage. Once the blues regroup, it can become a game. I’d ask you all to stick it out all the way - I always do. But at a minimum, wait to see if it is really a stomp or just a burst that gets flattened. Winning those matches and shoving their aggression back down their throat is one of the most satisfying wins this game has to offer. |

Winning those matches and shoving their aggression back down their throat is one of the most satisfying wins this game has to offer. I would just make this one point regarding the post match stat card. As Ive acknowledged so many times, this game is really 「fluffernutter」ed up as far as the tech goes. Now I aint stupid, cuz I been a quitter or in a discord squad with quitters who are understandably angry and sick of the bull「dookie」, so it is not unreasonable to think certain players in the stat card intentionally left the match, but we all know the following app issues are a frequent occurrence, and could also be the reason for the absence. - app crash - app freeze - kicked to hangar - extreme lag to the point its literally unplayable - everything freezes except you can still run around shooting as normal but nobody else is moving or taking damage - cant move - cant drop a mech - kicked to spectator mode - dropped underneath map etc etc Things like this happen to me all the time without choice. I never intentionally leave (except on rare occasion theres a hacker and I wanna get out of queue with them), but I obviously get reported, cuz from time to time I get warnings from Pix saying I was reported for staying inactive. So I sent Pixonic a message that if they actually reviewed what was going on they would see Im one of the most active in every match or I had app issues, and that if they cant design a report system that enables them to review actual evidence, then they should “stop sending me baseless 「fluffernutter」ing warnings”. Anyways, in reality we just dont know for sure if people quit or there was an issue. So I aint gonna grill people based on stat card. |

Is it just me or is it always a 3 to 2 game when you can’t drop a mech. It’s like you’re in the penalty box for two minutes.

Yeah, but I dont know about the two min thing, cuz if I experience any of the issues mentioned above, I dont give it that long. If I cant play anymore I just close app and restart a new match. Not gonna just sit around to see if Pixonics 「dookie」ty app is gonna fix itself lmao |

I had a great -- truly enjoyable -- game this morning.
Right from the first drop I was concerned because I noticed we had a Blue not drop for a long time. As has become my current custom, I was in my #1 Loki running around with Armadillo drone grabbing bacon. Eventually, it died so I brought in my new Fafnir and headed over to D to try to grab that. I rather quickly killed off two Harpy/Siren types followed by a Seraph on cooldown. I should have also had a Minos, but somebody stole my kill. It was at this point that I noticed we were hanging in there with the bacon bar.
Eventually, I lost the Fafnir, dropped the Invader and headed over to B. Unfortunately, it got ganged-up upon by a duo of speaker-wielding Scorpion and Ravana so it died rather quickly. The Noodles got a few kills and healed some blues and we had a nice push going. Noodles died so I dropped my 2nd Loki to shake things up and saw the bacon bar was in bad shape. A couple of bacon turns improved the situation, but it was still a toss-up.
In the end, Blue won. Had we given up being down a player, the result surely would have been a different one.  |

i will usually stick around unless it's simply not worth my time such as games with spear users (usually squads of them down in diamond/expert) even if they are on my team i'll sit out or just leave because it's simply pointless for either side sometimes when this kakky matchmaking decides a fair game is the entire enemy team consisting on full mk2 hangers (mk2 everything) usually full russian random teams vs our team with literally zero mk2 anything at all and for the most part low level (f2p) bots and weapons ...while i don't mind from time to time carrying a game or two (which i've pretty much solo done many times) ...having 10+ consistent games having to carry everyone is a pain in the rear and that's not a big headed comment either just a simple fact. here's my stats as of earlier today just for reference.  |

Tried my usual tactics of "run beacons at all costs" but it just didn't cut it this time. Have never seen these guys before either.  |

Went down swinging in this one. Literally all of my bots got two shotted by Glaives once their titans came out. I managed to run some beacons with the Imugi, but unsucessfully.  |

Had another one today. No surprise to see afterwards we had a tanker. What made this a satisfying loss was the fact that my outnumbered teammates pushed back the late spawn raid while one of our teamies was out there in something flipping beacons and keeping us in it. We lost as we threatened the four cap.   Plus this: always good to get a Zenit kill but as my third kill to boot, delicious.  I ended the match still alive in the Golem, my last bot. |

Had another one, this time with a happy ending! Dom on Dreadnought, playing an all Russian hangar to do the Spce Tech mission. Yeah, I’ve got the fancy Space Tech bots, they can blow me. Anyway, early on it looked like a 4 on 6 but we kept scrapping with the Reds until towards the end we flipped it to a 4 on 3 and took the win. It wasn’t until afterwards that I realized both teams had a pair of tankers. Our number 6 is a guy I’ve reported easily a half dozen times over the last month. He’s a pathetic classic clubber/tanker. Here he’s tanking, other games he’s clubbing, in all of them though he’s pathetic.    His other two hangars are more of the same largely completely maxed stuff. All that just to be made fun of, the loser. |

At least the bottom three on our team ditched, maybe even bottom 4. They saw the Anant guy drop his Ochokochi and left. Luckily I managed to launch him off the bridge on castle with mine though lol  |

Thank God for stupid Reds. Springfield, team 2 which is the factory spawn. Iâm rolling with the October FU Hangar ( milty72 represent!) My Kumiho and our no3 in a Crisis cross the Valley. The rest of the morons begin the pointless bridge battle. Somehow I turn a Seraph back in the Kumi, he leaves the farm and heads back to the city. Iâd make a play for the farm but I notice we are down a player. Plus the 「bum-bum chapeau」 in the Crisis is now AFK. I stay at center. A Mars crosses over and kills me. I return in the Raven and we mutual. I deploy the Nodens. I cross the valley to center and retake it unopposed, our AFK Crisis still standing there like the tanking POS he is. But the Reds are helpfully fixated on Factory. I spend my time firing across the valley from center, healing teamies in reach and hammering Reds stupid enough to come in range. I take out an Au Ming. Then my team peters out. All six Reds decide to crossover to get me. I donât make it easy and take an Arthur with me. Once dead I deploy the Au Jun and retake home unopposed and despite center and dam beacons now being red itâs too late, 「female dog」es, old school BR FTW! (it was Dom naturally, I donât play BR). Next time one of you idiots should stay to hold the enemy home beacon.    |
