This is ridiculous. If people don't want to deal with trolls in public matches in *ANY* game, guess what? Team up with some other players and play in a group, or GTFO. Pub games in every game, ever, have always been filled with bad/troll players. When playing any team-based game, an organized team of moderately skilled players who are communicating and playing together will win the overwhelming majority of matches against a public random team, regardless of whether the pub team contains trolls, average players, or great players.

If you're playing a team game and not playing in an *organized* team, the fault is equally divided when you lose - you are just as much at fault as the guy who just ran circles in a corner shooting the wall, or the guy who fed the enemy carry, or the guy that teamkilled in spawn, or the guy who took the flag and just ran around the map instead of taking it back to base.

If you are not concerned enough about winning to put in the time and effort to play in an efficient, effective group environment, what gives you the right to criticize your teammates for not playing as well as an organized group teammate?

Please note that I realize YES, it's extremely annoying, and I'm not valuating that kind of behavior... merely commenting on the skewed perspective of the argument that it is only the troll/bad player's fault when you don't win.

Quoting: Tkelethomg NICE. I am currently dual-booting into Win7 almost exclusively for Mechwarrior Online which I haven't sufficiently tried to run in Linux... I've read about a few people managing to play it with certain distros/setups but I have thus far been unsuccessful.

I love giant robots with giant guns; this is right up my alley.

MWO was the only game I was playing before switching to Linux. I still had 6 months of premium time left on the account when I switched. After not playing for a few weeks it gets very easy to let it go. It would be nice to have it on Linux but that will never happen since they don't have a license to release it on any other platform.

I can play it with gallium-nine, but it's not the smoothest experience even so. That could be more wine overhead on my rig than anything else, but it definitely took a performance hit. Shame, because I used to quite enjoy MW:O....for a time...until the matchmaking queues really got screwed up.

I just installed Steam through Wine and installed MWO from there in Linux Mint 18, and it's functionally great, and playable framerate (probably around 40). Couple of texture bugs on certain map features but they're just discolored, not missing or super ugly.

Only problem I think is my GPU - it's a Radeon R9 290, which I've read is basically loaded with problems on Linux. So I might have to sidegrade it with an NVIDIA 700 series card or something. But yeah, other than not having high enough FPS as I would like, Mechwarrior Online is (to my knowledge thus far) 100% operational.

I made a very fast click macro for one of my mouse buttons, and after using it to kill a few guys, the yellow dudes become invincible. lol 10/10 would review on steam

Is there anybody here who could crank up Space Engineers and see if it works at all? I won't have access to my gaming rig anytime soon.

Minecraft - still amazing, and for a creative type person, this one is hard to beat.

looks like this might fill my Space Engineers cravings on Linux... I honestly prefer the S.E. realistic graphics style a bit more but, alas... it uses DX12 now so maybe it'll be playable in wine in a few years :/

Recently converted to Linux, so I was glad to get League of Legends installed with only one error (on my part) when trying to get it running. It's so buttery smooth... mmhmm. Damn.

I haven't touched Windows in a couple weeks but I might hop back over there to play some more Space Engineers...

And in the past week I've probably put 10 or 12 hours into ForeveRacer lol

Quoting: SuperSmashingGreatGamesGood work Tkeleth. Shame you aren't there on Saturday but there will hopefully be plenty of other opportunities. Though with setting those sorts of times, I'm relieved you won't be there in case I can't beat you! :)

Stonewall Hill is now the official name for that section, hope you don't mind! I want people to try to take shortcuts, they're there deliberately, I just need to make sure that the balance of risk/reward is right. So I'm contemplating moving that checkpoint forward a touch, but just to make it a bit trickier to hit the checkpoint and make the turn, rather than forcing them the 'right' way. Stonehenge shortcut might need a bit tweaking too, maybe some more rocks and adjusting the checkpoint there.
The other shortcuts (hint - at least 2 others) are hard enough for now I think! Or at least, I normally mess them up...

Kyrottimus - some marvellous names there! :)

Yeah, if you want people to still be able to make the shortcut, you could move the checkpoint to *ALMOST* aligned with the beginning of the wall, so you'd have to cut the corner perfectly to get down without hitting the wall or missing the checkpoint.
