Get rid of Liao , Marik and davion
Have four IS factions - Steiner , Katrina, FRR and comstar
Have four clans - wolf , GB , smoke jags and JF
Cut the map in half so that terra is on the bottom of the screen and players only fight the invasion area. It doesn't make sense that the game takes place in the invasion era yet we have all this Marik , Liao and Davison space

but 90% of the factions don't have players that routinely play. I know cause I played some of them on my alt account. So really it would be better if it was just IS vs Clan. If you want to feel like your apart of one of those clans...fine just put a decal on your mech. But really the state of FP is so bad that they should get rid of most of the factions, I remember in early beta how palyers wanted them to ADD MORE FACTIONs like Diamond Shark and Nova Cat, now you don't see any of those threads cause the population is dying. What PGI should really do is go back to the drawing board, get rid of certain factions make getting into FP as fast as getting into Quick play, these are easy fixes that can save FP

If.the issue is players bring them back. Marik cw 1 had half dozen 12 man teams running , over cw to cw this dropped to 1.
I can give you dozen reasons why my unit doesn't play anymore and only plays group Q. Some of them will even be fixed with the new changes but with 2 bucket most loyalist will stop playing or will not come back.
Russ had a town hall with mercs and now cw is setup for mercs who don't care about factions.

I just can't believe that the buckets was even an serious topic.

Make FW something people routinely play and there yo go.
What seems more realistic here. PGI redesigning and making a fun and functional Faction Play or them reducing the buckets so the people who do play can actually find easier access to games.
Everybody wants Factions to stay in but even when the gamemode was more heavily populated, even with FP events the population was/is still too spread out. Factions are already meaningless, you can't do anything with them beyond showing everybody how big your border penis is.

If Factions are meaningless, its the fault of the Community, not PGI.

No that's the fault of PGI by not adding any depth to factions. They were designed as nothing more than place holders for you to contract with aside from gaining LP by contracting with one there is nothing unique about them.
This is a gamemode about unit's conquering planets for factions. A gamemode full of non-unit's, solo players that can't conquer planets, where planet's hardly matter to anybody that can conquer them to expand the borders of factions that have no objectives. Borders are meaningless and no matter how much loyalists would want otherwise, they accomplish nothing and that's not the fault of the community but poor game design.

just get rid of the clans, that should do it.

Sorry but no, I blame Pgi. One of the worst things they did to Marik was make it basically impossible for us to get a planet without having more players.
We would at times have a 12 man team ready to go but we would look at the map and say well even if we played for the next 3 hours won every game we couldn't take this planet.
Other times we could field 3, 12 man's but the attack window was maybe a hour away so no good again.
These were easy fixes, no more stupid attack windows. Make the planets live.
Make taking planets more dynamic depending on Playing population.
Of course there are lots of other problems but this is what I saw kill Marik in phase 3.

There is a slight, but meaningful, distinction.
The reason for that distinction is profound.

It's a lot cheaper to just run a disposable MVP MOBA and sell mech packs though. People still buy them. We got the game we paid for.

This thread is hauntingly familiar. I'm sure it will have a solid resolution like the rest of them.

I still want Clan Diamond Shark. Dont see how/why people can't rep their particular loyalty while playing within a certain "bucket". My unit still reps Clan Diamond Shark even without it being in the game (having to fight under the CJF banner) so ... yeah.
