Greetings MechWarriors!
You asked and the Devs Answered!
Here's ATD 44!
Question from StalaggtIKE:[color=#959595] In one of the previous ATD, you stated that there are plans of accommodating 5+ player group drops. Is this still in the works and is this something we can expect to have available before launch?[/color]
Answer from Paul:[color=#959595] Yes it is still in the works. What is required is our tonnage limit system to be implemented so we don’t have to do crazy stuff in the match making system to get groups assembled. The tonnage limit system will put Mech balance in the hands of the player and the match maker then only has to worry about Elo and team player counts. With this system in place, players will be able to launch in groups of 1-12 inclusively. I cannot give a time estimate on this yet. My GUESS would be shortly after launch.[/color]
Will fix so many problems. Sure tonnage limit has it negatives, but this will increase balance 10 fold for everyone.
