Yeah group queue last night was full of lances etc farming the queue and taunting the other side - such a nice game.
Suddenly realised I still had 9 clan mechs from that last c-bill batch to level so switched out for my last 15 of 20. Really struggling though as two times in 21 matches I DC'd at match start ... and twice I had the FPS bug so had to kill the client totally ... by the time I got back in each time we were always 4/7 or so down (respectively). On the good hand even then only one of those four didn't count and amusingly one I went on a kill stealing rampage for us in a MIST LYNX and won it as last mech. Only a handful of decent matches all evening though. Not had either bug for a long time so very disappointing. I guess one of the patches in the last two weeks did something.
Bleh...played all night, and I'm more or less stalled in terms of the score I have for the leaderboard...stuck in 13th. Without a good 1k game with 3+ solo kills, not gonna break the top 10 again ><
Hehe, Ed's already way ahead of me Dropped back to #9 from #7 while I slept, don't think I can get higher than that in solo queue. Will see how it goes
This event weekend was so incredibly relaxing for me,... I didn't compete! Now I did go for the 20 points and had a real hard time (4 tries) to get there in the group queue. Once solo life got better. Elited all of my trashcans and went resistance mech hunting in my FS9-A. Then BBQ! Good times
Same for me. Did my 20 qualifying matches while leveling various mechs (mainly Panthers & the new Warhawk C in my garage) or trying new builds on my Hellbringer (see: "Hellboy"). Very relaxing, especially when solo.
Have to work this weekend. But still I am able to finish the 20 matches with ease, while leveling some mechs. Relaxing, and light-hearted.
Leveled Nova B/A(S was already master exp wise), raven 4X (good, but even if I have nice K/D I can't do much damage, don't know why) and the TDR 5S, surprisingly good with just 3 LLs and a STD engine. Free warhorn and 2 mil for just levelling, not bad
I think they have honed on on the scoring system, no advantage to killsteal, but still not lose something by killing, staying alive makes people slightly less stupid (in most cases). Group + Solo queue is questionable thou, as people will take advantage to pad someone stats but at the same time you want to be able to play with your friends. Maybe make separate boards and make limit it so that you can still only win once per mech? Made it to 16 in Panther so im ok with that, might consider doing some more tomorrow if it looks like ill fall below 25. A few games im thinking 1 or 2 is in group-queue.
I'm hovering in the 40's with my panther. I'm not at level of most of you guys but I tried. Kept getting burned out playing the same mech so much. Good luck to all though
Managed to bump up to rank 35 with the enforcer (could only play sunday and monday) which allready satisfies me. Now I`m again at 40 or so. If I can manage 2-3 games after work, rank 25 should be possible.
The solo queue can be hit or miss sometimes, top score and the only kill in my Panther, and I am not even a "good" pilot
I fought tooth and nail, but in the end I was kicked back to 8th place. Still, first time ever in the top 10 for the leaderboards, I still feel like it was an accomplishment. And now, to play ANYTHING ELSE but my GHR-5J.
My first time ever playing leaderboard and allready got 24th place with the enforcer Now it`s time for something withoug an LBX10^^
