Ugh I cant wait to get my hands on this game. Took Off the friday of release Just to play at least 8hrs and Nerd my self straight that day lol

 

[P."Windfall"Bowman]

I'm just happy that one and half week after release, I have two weeks off!

 

[Mojo Amok]

Much appreciated, @Hawk.eye !!!

 

[kvetcha]

This guy sounds uncannily like Bill Hader.

 

[gruese]

Sidestrafe is great, have been watching his videos on Youtube a lot. He plays MWO too, so he's at least somewhat familiar with Battletech.

 

[dulahan]

What Character origin selections did he do?

 

[Tovarisc]

He is getting bogged down and not really advancing on generator and weapon placements.

 

[Ciabola]

well hes playing like cohh did at this point.. which i find interesting

 

[Exemplar Voss]

Flying Striker at the end of miner mission.

Glitched above ground level

 

[Deaghaidh]

Slow. But luring the Shadowhawk into turret range was clever. Also enjoyed him missing on the unnecessary dfa.

Edit: Annnnnd now he's getting all pissy at his chat. Nobody said anything worse than he plays slow as far as I could tell. Not bothering with this guy any more.

 

[Zarcon]

Sadly he seems super thin skinned and rude. I was just asking a simple question about pacing early on and he went off on a rant. Sheesh.

 

[Ciabola]

ya almost turned it off after that.. now just running it in the background.

 

[Deaghaidh]

Its a shame about his attitude, because he did things with that map I hadnt seen before. It's nice to see that if you want to take your time and find ways to maximize conditions to your benefit you can.

 

[Ciabola]

he is explaining it more now.. i agree i play the same way he does.. but i dont stream. Ranting is a turn off but he does play the way i would so ill keep watching

I agree with that he seems to be thin skinned, but he wasn't rude, was he?
His playstlye is really slow paced though

cheers

 

[Delta Assault]

Seems like the dude’s fighting the chat more then the enemy mechs lol

Not terribly rude, especially by internet standards. But someone who adopts that tone in response to such a simple observation is just incredibly off-putting.

Like if someone had been "WTF why do you go so slow, learn to play!" and his response was "Well f- you too pal" I'm fine with that, because it's proportional.

Hmm, must've overheard it then.
I thought he only explained to his audience, that if they don't enjoy his playstyle there are 3 other streamers who play BT

He also took an indignant, pissy tone and for some reason seized the moral high ground with his "that's how I was raised" and "treat people like you want to be treated" etc. Fine sentiments but again, the meanest thing said about him was he took a long time to play that mission. Not remotely called for, and makes me think he is the sort of person who is perpetually indignant. He may or may not be, but this is the first I've seen of him and it makes me want to avoid seeing more.
