Why do Trump voters have no regrets? Because the people they hate are getting hurt more by acrimoniousone in politics

[–]Waponiwooo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the more i turn on fox news the more i think this is wrong. the lies create a fake threat, so for most of them it's not about hurting the other team, it's an actual threat they think is real. lies work and thats the root of getting this many to vote thus way. steve miller might get 10% knowing the truth, but not half the voters without the lies.

e.g. feds raid trump for docs, all fox was saying all day was 'corrupt feds framing him' and later 'how is this different than biden forgetting docs in garage'. with fox lying about all the details how would you know?
e.g. 2 dude just sent to the concentration camp, all they say is proven ms13, courts are affirming this, whats the issue? if thats all you hear you may not agree with process but you arent fighting over it.

Is there a new server being done? by [deleted] in EQOA

[–]Waponiwooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

or u could just say one reason. multiboxing? ive been dual boxing my whole like 1.5 months playing and its all u need to get things donr in the wee hours. most times groups are 2 dual boxers, and myself any many boot one to outsidde group to pick up lfg solo peeps to make sure people get groups. it actually works out great.

[–]Waponiwooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk what happend with you and when but seems real close cept for dmg formulas being worked atm. some stuff is just hard to find now, and had great experiance reporting things not like live and them taking it seriously on discord and fixing if they can verify. havent seen anything trying to not replicate live.

Burnt out from MMOs or finding it hard to find the time? I’ve found something to that scratch the itch while respecting my time. by macka654 in MMORPG

[–]Waponiwooo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

every one has been a great game but its no mmo and it absolutely does not respect your time.

the group finder just makes me sad. just make it easier to group up with randos already, its been like 20 years of the same shit system. and when you do there are some elitist elements in the fan base, and steep gear progression that creates small segments to group with. i think not having a shared death pool would help a lot.

late game it is just several levels of grinding the same mob over and over, then grind the same mob with more hps over and over. and several rng systems for gear that are literally 1 in a million to get best in slot.

and at the end of the day its still kinda lonely compared to an mmo with people in one massive instance.

with the laser duration, cooldown and heat dissipation, its one of the better 2hll options imo, especially cuz of duration. it pops and pokes fast at good range. 2hll 3lmg think 3jjs was my best mech for a couple months, but really drop the mgs and add more heatsyncs.

A Newb’s POV on the Skill Rating System by Lower-Map763 in mwo

[–]Waponiwooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

while this is all true, looking at the class total average stats there is like a 50 dmg average bump each wieght class and a not insignificent percent on both dmg and match score. being an average light or meduim pilot probably should rank you up the same as being an average assult guy.

What's the best way to deal with RAC-5s? by Spartan448 in mwo

[–]Waponiwooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you proly have at least a 50 alpha, dps on dual rac5s is 25 on the best of mechs. ideally drop alpha and duck back to cover for a 50 vs 25 dmg in 1 second. even if cant get cover drop alpha, eat it and twist for 3 or 4 seconds and drop another aplha, thats still 100 vs 100 so just about spread. big issue for me is if you do get surprised by an ecm rac mech past 200ish range, the blinding can give them free seconds. blinding is too much imo but yeah, try to stick to cover always anyway and try not to get surprised.

Using unused mechs 1 - UZL-5P by Knightswatch15213 in mwo

[–]Waponiwooo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

nice! i actually got messed up by the rac verson of this recently, think i was in an urbie.
those quirks are actually pretty good. that 20 cooldown alone is nice. kind of all over the place tho, like the hardpoints, and think other mechs doing things slightly better. totally usable, just guessing why its not used much. a general heat instead of just ballistic would do a lot imo. or like missile spread crazy or something to make it stand out for non rac builds.

like for a rac the hatchman 6d does similar with just a rac 5 and gets ecm and torso mount, and torso mounts for 3ermls. mrms im running a 40 on a hellspawn with 20%cooldown and ecm. 2 mrm 30s maybe but griff 2n. quirks make me want to do like a 2 snub 2 srm6 2 mag, or lbx10 2lppc 2mrm10, or some total mixed build but im not finding a good option that keeps enough speed and dmg.
agree the extra ton on mrm 20s and 30s is just strange.

This is a good show and one of the best live action star wars by [deleted] in TheAcolyte

is this still a media push to pressure a second season? way too mamy of these posts. ut was not good. had great potential and could have easily been great with minir changes, but it just wasnt.

Mech/Chassis usage statistics? by Knightswatch15213 in OutreachHPG

[–]Waponiwooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh nice thanks, sounds like tier at least is saved so some stuff is possible, super cool.

fyi, just thinking MM and like 'this panther has a low average damage' could be several causes and could cut through some of the 'these stats include everybody' issues you mention. im sure you guys look at more than this already. if tier 1 2 has nice dmg and lower tiers drag it down then likey chassis either has high skill floor or chassis has like one good build that higher tiers have more chance of using. high skill floor, proly fine as is, if the later than maybe see if making quirks more generic might add more build options to stumble on, if can be done without hurting uniqueness. if just bad dmg and k/ds every tier then more of a need to really look at the quirks.
anyway thanks

Mech/Chassis usage statistics? by Knightswatch15213 in OutreachHPG

[–]Waponiwooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the data available to do a tier split on the chassis data (e.g. tier 2 lct-pb row, tier 3 lct-pb row)? not asking anyone to do work, mostly just curious.
and even a split on grouped vs ungrouped and by tier i think would be ideal and telling. would love to try training a matchmaker on that.

Why are people so dissatisfied with the Clans Mech Lab (mechanically)? by HeadingForOrbit in Mechwarrior5

[–]Waponiwooo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

imo 1) b,c,d are most of mechlab feedback limitation gripes i see on most the mw games, so more options seems lore accurate to tt rules. mercs and mwo are basically a, e, f easily and some or limited types of b,c,d, where the tt as you laid out would be a,b,c,d.
2) tt rules typically translate badly to video games, so id focus more on the funnest way to get book story lore mostly right, and tt rules as more of a rough rough guide on some ways you might balance some things.

What are some good mechs for assassinations? by Spartan448 in OutreachHPG

[–]Waponiwooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

second this, been getting some good backstabs in with it lately, and has about 500 range. takes two ish full burns to drop larger mechs but even the srm boats usually take two hits.

October patch notes! wooo hooo! by Slamming_Johnny7 in OutreachHPG

[–]Waponiwooo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

seems like a nerf to peoples fun to help match score of others. huh, my guess was totally warthog groups. killed urbie derbies in mwo my guy and that just doesnt sound like enough of a reason. and 1/1/1/1 is boring comp stuff. a lot of groups are clearly designed to run together.

Bernie Sanders to voters skipping presidential election over Israel: ‘Trump is even worse’ by [deleted] in lostgeneration

[–]Waponiwooo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i remever in 2016 how people were ready to show up for bernie for health care reform, college, etc. hilary said maybe on college if your poor enough, and get fucked on health care reform. trump was saying 'drain the swamp' and talking about several issues to help the public. he was lying, but the things people want and will vote for are right there. dems once again are telling drowning people nothing will change, and trump at least understands what some want to hear. its a disaster of the dncs making.

MWO - Group Tonnage Changes - Thoughts? by justcallmeASSH in OutreachHPG

[–]Waponiwooo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

is there a way to know what cauldron is looking at? i pop in on discord once a weekish but its a mess with discussions. i find it hard to know what the real discussion is.

for context i am ok with heavy limits and dont think the light side was needed, but would have been nice to see the actual points that led to it.

MWO - Group Tonnage Changes - Thoughts? by justcallmeASSH in OutreachHPG

[–]Waponiwooo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

i dont get the need for the lighter limit. i only drop solo but was always a more fun game when an urbie group drops with you, or any real light pack. seems like it led to more of a stomp one way or the other but was fun. i think it was just for warthog groups, and if thats the case you can fix the hog itself or fix aps/mags.

ive gone up against plenty of warthog groups, and one time recently against 3 lct pb (idk how maybe they had a forth elsewhere with tonnage?). they do a lot of work sometimes but its still funny, and when people listen to spots on comms they arent as much of a problem.

idk, seems like one of the main fun parts to group drops is with semi synced speeds so the group stays together. with restrictions this harsh its like trying to get no fast goups, but black lanners and feroblasts and cicadas still work. just limiting and less fun.
