Hello PGI,

this is an open letter requesting the ability to make custom game.

Tonight we were doing a tabletop battletech session, but due to low attendance (we were only 6 :ph34r: ) we made a battle royal (made it to the final with HATCHETMAN 5d), to explain how we draw mech : we made one card (like a magic card) for each mech in the pool (45 mechs tonight) and we draw one at the start of the rumble and we play the mech we draw.

Back on topics : After the game we were drinking a beer and we talked about mwo launch ...We all agree to say " MWO is a good game but the way we are forced to play is TERRIBLE" and by this i mean the "Launch" button and the inability to make custom game.

We would love t o see CUSTOM game added to MWO, our plan is to make a friendly league for our gaming group (but online), with a small site and mech builder with battle value to do 4vs4 (or vs3 when clan hit)

we don't ask too much :

We need :

-Ability to create Custom game : if it"s too complex to refresh a list of game, you can keep them "private" (you connect to the game with a game name/number)
-Ability to see and choose a mech from the game room.
-Free choice of map
-Free choice of number of player 1vs1 to 12vs12 and possibility to play 4vs3 or 3vs6.

Not needed (but appreciated)

-Chat channel : we will use our teamspeak server, IRC, website so if their is no "code time" available we will do without chat :) Even inside the game room.
-Tonnage calculator, would be better with but heh we can add number ourself !
-If there is no space on the server for private game (if you got too many players lol) we accept direct ip connection.

We accept :
-To gain nothing when doing private game, no xp or cbill (obvious)

Come on PGI PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ to code this you need like 2 days. if you want we are ok to pay part of dev cost !

A lot of players would be super happy with this option, most of them do group play and would reduce the pug bashing, the high ELO players can do private game too and simplify the matchmaking. And you PGI you keep the random pugger and everyone is happy !

With custom game implemented, i am sure some crazy group of players could even make some sort of community warfare :D

So pgi it is possible ? If not why ? if yes when ?

thx for an answer !!!

Yes, "soon," and you'll probably have to buy Premium Time in order to set up private matches.

I would love to see this. But then again, we don't even have any kind of lobbies which are the basis of custom games. So my guess the ETA to your suggestion is fall 2017.

They already promised custom games, but nothing this year. It's a long wait for any features. The forseeable future only promises a couple of new mechs, camo patterns and cockpit items.

Throwing money at them isn't going to automagically give them more time to do whatever they plan to finish by this year.

Just wait it out.
