[Feedback] Battle of Tukayyid Details

Russ has said a few times now that the timeline was going to be 3052 now, so I imagine we'll see some new mechs with that. I'm at 30/50 so far, and taking a break for a bit...but had an AMAZING stomp on IS side, counter attacking on Boreal Was one of those matches where we could do no wrong, every mech I aimed at just dissolved under my laser fire. Unfortunately, it took 45 minutes to GET that match...

 

Yeah, speaking from a streamer viewpoint, one might want to avoid CW right now. I was considering it prior to realising the queue issues. Wanted to show off CW.

 

They did it because June 6 is my wife's birthday.

Tsk. That you even asked...

 

Three times reset queue over 37 minutes..... I feel lobotomised....

 

33 done and time for dinner... slooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww today.

Once I get a 34th will probably say fuck it for today as that's just 6 to go.

Or maybe I'll find myself still sucked in to it.......unable to escape like a nightmare.

 

Not to burst anyone bubble or sth but i have done mine 50 as of 45 minutes ago, 49 of 50 done during a weekend.

Get a group, and if possible go Clan, less painful that way.

 

Easy mode person that doesn't care about the lore...

 

Oh i do and i'm more than sure that IS will win this event as most IS players are in EU and that is the time that event ends.

I just do not envy those of you that are PUGing and also are running IS as the way the algorithm is done it is pure madness, as after let's say 30 - 45 minutes of wait you get a 10-12 man on the other side, nothing fun about it, even more when you actually miss those 80 pts.

40 out of 50 of my games were me being part of a 10-12 man against some poor IS Pugs, most of the time they didn't even bother to communicate between each other and a lot of them running really bad builds and Trial mechs. Most of those games ended within 15-18 minutes from the first drop.

I actually loved the other 10 games which were against other groups of 8-12 teams as they kept me on my toes till the very end and sometimes getting your own ass handed over to you on a silver plater is a lesson of it's own.

If CW will be looking like the first example in the long run, even the best events will not be able to bring more people to it. Yeah it brings a lot of money even to a medium skill level player as me but at some point it stops being fun.

 

... and done 40/40.... spare BNC-3M please....

All matches counted - lowest 190, highest 480.

We slaughtered SWOL every time amusingly but 4 20 beat us the two times we met and QQ and us walked away with one victory each.

Overall we lost 6 times in 40 matches, 3 of those were solo, 3 either on FRR Hub or in mixed FRR units.

Average match score 338.75. Who says organised groups aren't OP?

PS: Break for a while as this has totally soured me on CW even if I walked away with 40 million c-bills and a new mech.

 

Hehe, even in PUG groups, we were beating SWOL every time, although a couple times it was a close thing. Beat 4 20 once, but lost every other time I saw them, and thankfully the only time I've met the Emp crew, we were still Falcon and they were on our side. A lot of losses since I'm PUGing, but what can ya do?

 

Awwww, I stopped at 39 yesterday. Still runnin' for those spare pa--- errr, Banshee, to replace my standard 3M.
Missed the 80 once vs. CWI, got primed out of my first three Mechs and couldn't do much on my 4th either.
Waiting queue was in-between 7 an 20 min, so no big deal.
We had some really close and intense encounters yesterday vs. 420 and MS losing them in the last 5 seconds (Omega destroyed) and stomped Groups like RJF and CWI (Karma bitches!) 48-12 and 48-20. So my experience is really balanced. Lose some, win more that means.

But the best thing:
My team holds the 6th spot in the Steiner-ladder despite so few of us taking part in this event.
And I earned enough C-Bills to complete my "every-chassis-collection" and buy three Highlanders. Yeah, u can say I like it so far.

 

Closing in on 25, mornings is really good to time to play 1-5 minutes waits sofar.

Claners just wiped all the gens in 1 push with a 8v8 kill count they ran out regrouping. We did our kills and where in the lead on kills most of the battle until last push when 4 of our guys where wiped out. Managed my 80 points thou

 

9 battles with the Germans and some SweC and another 10 with randoms from FRR teamspeak rest of the 25 is pug holding 297,4 avg matchscore. Worst was 114 best 426.

 

I'm only on 9/10. Hope to get a couple more done tonight. Probably not going to get anywhere near the free mech, but I'm used to that by now

I'm not soured to CW, but I am getting a bit sick of fighting the same over quirked IS mechs. Short burn times on lasers and good pin point fire makes fighting good IS players much harder than fighting good clan players imo. CW negates the weakness suffered by the IS, who needs an XL in anything other than a light or medium. Does any one drop in XL heavies or assault mechs?

Currently I drop in x2 Hellbringer, x2 Stormcrow. Pretty cookie cutter but I struggle against thunderbolts, dragons, and stalkers the amount of power they pack means I either torso twist whilst trying to disengage or I return fire, and because of my long burn time, I get arse raped.

I'm not claim IS op or any of that bull. But the disparity between fighting the other IS mechs and those I've listed is huge. Likewise I'm sure the IS players are sick of facing against Stormcrows, Timbers and Hellbringers.

I'm going to go figure out a new drop deck..

Clan balistics suck.

 

Nice one, we hold 6th for FRR and our drop partners 331 hold 5th.

 

Went to bed @ 36/40 yesterday night. I will push for 40 tonight as work will be getting in the way during the last day.
I'm having a CW blast. Even though the event isn't very balanced. Teamplay is (and should be) OP but currently it is bordering exploiting,...

PUG IS < PUG Clan < grouped IS < grouped Clan.

The latter 2 should actually be equal, and here is the exploit, an organised Clanner zerg is still instoppable. One of our fights agains 4 20 demonstrated that quite painfully. They could have taken the sector during their second Zerg wave, but luckily for my enjoyment they did not push at that point. I assume they all wanted their 80 points and as such had to fight. Third wave was a normal Zerg rush again and we lost the sector,...

 

yeah, clan ballistics suck big deal... when you are not talking about LBX's and the AC5-Daishimonster.

I feel you. I really get annoyed when an all-Timber Team rushes us. Clanners rely a lot on ECM this days as well.
But the IS does exploit ECM as well and also uses a high amount of Stalkers, Thunderwubs and Banshees.
So every faction has their favs.

Me? I like to ride the lesser used machines, much to the disapproval of my so-called superiors. At the moment I have two Enforcers, a Grasshopper and a Zeus in my Deck.
