It would probably go faster if we could see people joining... if I knew there were more people waiting with me, I would be less likely to drop out.

Apparently the problem I saw was you don't see anyone listed in the Lobby till there are 12 people on your side. It makes people think nobody else is waiting here so forget this, Cancel. They need to let us see how many people are waiting to play at each planet so if you do go to play a CW game you can just go join a game that already has people waiting instead of everyone picking a different planet or jumping around looking for players.

As it sits right now you have no idea if you are the only one waiting or will be the 11th or 12th guy and can get going right away.

I don't think it's too hard to get 80 points in the course of 4 mechs..
But finding 20 matches before the weekend ends will be the real struggle.


So, just to be sure I understood it correctly, I have to collect a global match score of 80 points with the 4 mechs of my dropdeck?

I believe in order to score a point, you have to have an end match score of 80+.

30 minutes per match and I have watched an average of 10 minutes in queue so 40 minutes for 1 point, x 20 points is 800 minutes, which is 13 1/3 hours of game time, IF you get the score in every match.... perhaps this wasn't the best time to run a tournament in a queue that has yet to be filled out

IS factions cannot drop with Clam mechs, and Clam factions cannot drop with IS mechs.

Hopefully as more people join in the wait times will go down.

this is why we are having issues, look at that queue time, I could have launched and played a complete match in the standard queue

This match is now at 23 minutes queue time

any of the clan factions, oh and still waiting on the above match... :/

After this time in queue, I think the euro prime time is a lie.... and I guess this "challenge" won't happen for me, I am not going to spend that much gaming time reading my book... if I wanted to read my book right now, I wouldn't have logged into MW:O

Great way to get some 's!

I know i have 15 - 5 FPS on the new maps and i know i will perform bad because of this and my teams will suffer from that (probably still better than any mindless LRM-Atlas) but i will do it anyways.
And to be honest: I don't care! Like PGI doesn't care about a decent -income!


TL;DR: I play with 15-5FPS (On CW-maps) and give a **** about the teamperformance because its the only effective way to get some 's in this game.

You aren't so much 'joinging' a faction as being paid by them to fight their enemies. Just pick a house (if you want to use IS mechs) or a clan (for clan mechs) sign up for a 7 day contract and off ya go for the points ya want. Dropping solo last night I had anywhere from 1-12min waits for matches. I do think the IS vs Clan planets get matches faster for solos since they combine houses to fight the clans.

You can break the contract at any time. After joining yesterday I checked, and to break a 7 day contract would cost 200,000 cbills. Not sure how that goes down as you time passes. But you will earn more than that as you play this weekend, took me only 4 matches to get the first 3 cbill rewards from the house loyalty points yesterday.


Cool. I have broken the contract to join other more active clan. I have paid 200.000c-bills. And THEN it says:
Your contract is active 2 more days, You cannot break contract.

AAARRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I think we need a way to either globally communicate or see who is in what lobby (or even just how many players are in each planet lobby) as soon as possible.

I agree that the wait times are rediculous. Been using the pop-ups on the bottom of my screen and have not got into a single match yet in an hour...

Basically click the defend/attack pop-up. wait 15 minutes, then try a different pop-up. I am now on my 5th try... about to just jump into single matches so I can at least play...
