It's frustrating to me that, despite our incredibly low player base, I can't tell when I'm playing alongside you forum folks in the game.  It must be because you are using an account, or multiple accounts, where your name does not match your forum name, OR you're just not playing the game anymore, OR you don't play TDM?  (I was admittedly boring and made my names match, for ease of reference for other players.)

 

There are a couple exceptions, of course.  Some of you have made a "shout out" to me in game, and a couple of you have the same name here as in game.  But I suspect that I'm playing alongside you "forum folk" and I have no idea.  Is this deliberate?

 

If you're playing under a different name/account, would you mind letting me know, so I can start connecting more players in the game with players who are commenting in these forums?

 

Also, as I look at the leaderboard, I see that 62 of the top 100 players have played in the last week.  As I look through the ones that are named (not anonymous), I only see 7 names there that I have EVER played against, which just seems odd, considering that when I play it is usually for 2-3 hours at a time, after 9pm EST.

 

(In other totally unrelated news, my 14 year old son, "Kaotic_Beaver", who started playing the same time I did, and only gets to play 60-90 minutes per day, had a 1980 MMR last time I checked!  That's about 500 higher than his dear old dad :) )

Well, there was that thread MomOw mentioned, but it is also worth noting that anyone on the forums with a (KDR) tag is most probably a EU player and thus you will not see them normally on NA servers. We have a number of non-KDR EU folks who are regular on the forums as well.

 

Additionally, many of the names you see in the top 100 are either alt accounts or players that pretty much only play competitive practices/scrims/matches, so you will not typically see them in public games. Also, with an MMR of 1480, being in a server with a top 100 player implies an MMR spread of about 1000. While that can happen, most high MMR players that I know will not stick around long in a lobby like that, and the matchmaker will generally try to make that not happen. Instead, the 'veteran' (inb4 crafty) and competitive players will tend to coalesce into one lobby as they see each other.

That's a good point about MMR spread, and I should have mentioned that.  Yes, I know about the "stars" for best matchup.  But even when I deliberately go into a 1 star match (MMRs around 2300 or so), to see if there's anyone there I recognize, I rarely see anyone I know from the forums.  Except I'm suspecting that I AM seeing them - but they have a different player name in game.

My main: Silverfire

My Alt: Sriracha_Sauce

 

I will refrain from naming my multiple other accounts because reasons.  But if it makes you all feel better, most of the other accounts are 1900+ MMR so I'm not doing any exorbitant stomping generally speaking.

Some of you have made a "shout out" to me in game, and a couple of you have the same name here as in game.  But I suspect that I'm playing alongside you "forum folk" and I have no idea.  Is this deliberate?

 

I first made my smurf / alt account "E_Equals_MC_Vagina" back when matchmaker would prevent players outside a given MMR range from joining a match. Soon thereafter the powers that be took notice of that offensive name and changed it to "FairyPrincess315". Now I use that account to practice and get mech time in (read: play pubs). TheButtSatisfier has become my competition account that I only use during scrims or matches.

 

In my personal experience, I can't recall anyone with an alt / smurf account who says they use the account to avoid recognition. It probably happens though. Some people make smurfs to bypass old restrictions regarding matchmaking (like me), others do it to stomp on newbs, others still do it so they can play without putting their primary account's MMR at risk, and the rest because they collect smurf accounts like some people collect cars.

 

The reasons for smurfing vary and oftentimes overlap, but it's rarely the same from player to player. To address this, the High Tier Cabal recently held a referendum at our MLG volcano base to discuss whether or not smurfing should be exclusively limited to stomping noobs and keeping our identities hidden, but it failed due to a lack of votes because most of us were too busy using our smurfs to stomp noobs while keeping our identities hidden.

I distinctly remember at least a few have said as much, but I don't remember who they were. It must work at least to some degree.

Onstrava here, my name is the same on forums and in-game and I don't use any alt accounts. You can find me easily since I'm like 1 of maybe 5 G2 Raiders in our entire community that uses it as there main. Just look for the big black mech with a skull on it, I'm probably chasing you. :/ I always use black with white stripes on all my mechs.

I doubt you'll see many Oceanics but they mostly have the same pilot name from forum.

I have my forum name matches my main pilot name with all the mechs n bling.
I have another account so I can play without affecting my main account. That purposely only has the unchanged LoadedAssault (for now).
Its named close to my main name so there's no doubt its me. No hiding.

I sexually identify as a Crafty smurf.

 

Ever since I was a skrub I dreamed of playing on invite only money lans and busting cheaters. People tell me I can't yolo on an AM-SAR Reaper and that I am bad but I don't care, I'm CraftyDus. I'm having plastic surgeon to grow a beard and shortening my d!ck.

 

From now on I want you guys to call me “CraftyDos7” and respect my right to claim moral high ground and aimbot on a Rev-GL Gren. If you can’t accept me you’re not a veteran and need to get off my lawn. Thank you for being so understanding.

I think he is the player that made a post about "why are people leaving matches" ? a short while back. I was in a match a few nights ago with him in a server on Origin with a really solid group that stayed for 5 or 6 matches in a row,  he joined in and left as soon as the match ended.
