Another challenge where you need a poopsock to compete? Really? The people who won last time played >100 matches in a weekend in order to get their 10 best. How is this a measurement of skill?

Sounds like a measurement of bladder control.

Might want to use your real account when you want to trash talk people.

Not trying to ***** but how come we can't drop in teams of our faction?! That kinda takes all the fun out of it. I mean how are we supposed to wage war with out co-op communication? the typing in game system don"t cut it!
Just think: if we could drop in teams of our faction and face teames of opposing factions, why then you would have that house warfare that you promised us oh so long ago!

Just sayin' yo.

Because ever since the 4 man drop limit was placed back in the closed beta PGI has been taking steps to punish group drops and limit communicating or teamwork, in a team game as well as failing to add basic functionality for finding people or friends in the game. Then acting surprised when they see that the majority of the drops are solo drops rather than grouped based off of a rather stilted statistic.

Its not trash talk by admitting you had the time to invest into making sure you had the top ten stats. The system rewards the player that keeps playing until he is at the top, because the bad games do not count. Only the good ones. How is this trash talk?

Here's your CW preview everyone. An interactive Bryan Powerpoint show. Should be interesting.

Make sure all you load out are LRMs because the Devs seem to believe that's what makes us happy. Meh, just have no hope for the game anymore.

I challenge people to use 3051 era faction appropriate mechs for this.

Now that would be helluva fun. Says the Steiner pilot...

Well, Mariks like Lurms and Lasers, so we would be ok.

Yep, I think the Free Worlds League would be Awesome .

Fun aside, a faction tournament only dropping in faction appropriate mechs is a great idea. Tho I think that's hardly doable, cos you have to evaluate who drops in which chassis and if this chassis is legit for your faction and timeline.

... if that were the case PGI would have to add tanks in MWO for the FWL

Well, they're throwing players a dropship for 10 matches...that's what...like 500 MC? What dollar value is that equivalent to....>$2?

It'd be a nice touch if they had a separate set tournament rewards for your best 10 games dropping in a group, too...

I wonder what THOSE metrics would tell them.

[simple1]

The reason I let you all win these tournaments...

10. Taxes. The Winner will be solely responsible for the reporting and payment of any and all Federal, Provincial, state or local taxes, sales taxes, surcharges, service charges, registration, licensing, processing, insurance premiums, and handling fees, and all other costs incurred in claiming, redeeming, receiving or possessing their Prize. The Sponsors accept no responsibility for any tax implications that may arise from Prize winnings, and independent financial advice should be sought by the Winner. The Winner will and hereby does hold Sponsors harmless from liability for any failure to timely report and/or pay any taxes.

HA HA just "kidding" ;}

[Hexenhammer]

PGI hates groups because we can't do 12 man drops because we can't insta drop in 12 mans
PGI hates pugs because PGI makes pugs fight against premade a
PGI hates everyone because they won't stop the rolfastomps. If PGI loved us they'd stop it.
PGI hates islanders
PGI hates ____________ because ___________!

Well I hate PGI because they said they were going to do X and I've decided that's going to destroy the game. And I'm always right so that's final. Besides everyone knows how to program a game if they can /HTML and with my all Knowing Eye I can predict the future. I'll prove it. Five minutes after reading this sentence it will be raining someplace in the world.

Because the launch module will allow people to run matches of any size and with almost any limitations they want. That is exactly what teams are looking for. The whole launch module is ALL about making team play more viable.

So yes, teams between 1-12 people will be able to form up and run, just like you're asking for.

That's if you pay for it, if you don't want c-bills, if you don't want XP, if you don't want achievements, and in all likelihood no effect on CW if and when it arrives. So no I would say that the whole launch module is more of a steaming pile that they covered in glitter rather than what teams were asking for, and this is coming from a solo player.

[Dawnstealer]

I want to be from the Bandit Kingdoms. Sure they get overrun by the Clans, but that's fun stuff right there.

Anyways, GO STEINER.

Steiner and Davion Stats have to be combined. Fed Com all the way!

[C E Dwyer]

I'm bemused by this, and this coming from a person on the verge of quitting because I feel PGI have sold out on brawler builds, and play styles.

Pretty much everyone here wants loyalty points the war map faction point (hell i've pheonix mechs with a bonus I bought and payed for, that most likely won't see daylight now, unless PGI give the most dangerous type of play style some love very soon.

The only point in this competition is to test the loyalty/factions points work before it goes live or before a test server play out, and to make it fair they've made it solo drop, so everyone enters on the same playing field and ohh my god the sulking.

I can't have an unfair advantage and drop with my mates so Im' not playing..sure MWO is a team game...but this is a solo competition.

[Mike McSullivan]

I like the new tournament.

What would be interesting if the matchmaker only groups people from the same faction...

Still posting this from your alt account eh ?

If you follow these the tournies... Notice it is always the same people at the top.. Over and over again ?
Do not make light of these peoples effort... Go ahead and challenge the top 10 to 1v1, once private matches are In..

That should answer your question whether they are more skillfull than you and whether they deserve to be up there.
