It's a much more revealing interview than the previous one.

Here is the summary of the CW information discussed in Brian's section of the interview:

Factions
  • Fight for ownership of Fronts instead of specific planets.
    • Home Front
    • Opposing Front
    • Ownership flips back and forth through winning combat drops
    • House vs House
  • Faction wide bonuses for winning/owning Fronts
    • Passive Benefits for ownership
      • EXP bonus
      • New item(s)
      • Access to new technology
  • Membership in House or Famous Unit
  • Work your way up the ranks of the Faction
Merc Corps (Guild Players)
  • The group names it
  • Create your own ranks
  • Fights for a specific system (a single planet)
    • Schedules battles with other Merc Corps for planetary ownership
    • Occupation rights for winning/owning
      • Income benefits
      • Items
      • New Mechs
  • Can form Companies and Lances

ad wont have a massive impact on builds

OK just to point out a thing that happened in old MW games. Each team had a repair base that could be destroyed. It was called a mobile repair base. If your mech was damaged you could go back to it and repair and re arm w/o respawning, but the thing is that base could be destroyed(it had hitpoints) Why MWO doesn't have a game mode with this is I dunno its kinda stupid. It added a bit of strategy to the game and there were no cap points If your team lost the MRB and couldn't repair then got destroyed it was game over

It's too much away from lore/canon/TT. In the battletech universe it takes approx. 15min to repair one point of armor.
We had this topic a lot of times and most agree that we don't need it/don't want it.

I don't like it either.
Still this is not the topic here.
Please stay on topic.

I liked the part where Ekman called the community the canary bird when it comes to balance. So when the community dies, then PGI reacts. I don't think he thought that metafore through :P.

Sounds fairly accurate to me :P

Community isn't dead and MGs flamers and LBX-10 are all terrible and useless...

If this video had been released before the "monetization" article, I wonder if the firestorm would have been as large ...

I'm not sure about the "passive" aspect of the major houses, but other than that, great stuff.

Will believe any of it when I see it. If this game charged per promise I'd be broke.

how many queues are there goning to be now?

5 houses (how get all house matching), 3 regional servers, pug/premade ? That is a lot.

and MM is supposed to now account for ELO, weight, and limit you to houses too? Good luck.
