Have they made people in the mercenary faction *not* show up in-game as lonewolves? And are lonewolves and mercenaries a valid faction selection for this tourney?

AFAIK, no.

LNW currently represents Mercs and Lone Wolves in-game and has yet to be "fixed".

Can't find anything about whether you need to solo drop or if 4-mans/12mans count.

also, FRR represent!

I propose we stage a Trial of Refusal to delay this tournament until Clan Tags have been added.

Scoring will only be considered for matches where you drop alone (not in a team).

Important: Remember to choose your Faction early! If you change your Faction House after the beginning of the tournament, your scoring and rewards will continue to be reflected in the Faction you had selected when the contest began. Scoring will only be considered for matches where you drop alone (not in a team).


I'm starting to wonder why this isn't even a premade+solo event, but just solo. It makes zero sense to me.

For once, being in an unpopular Faction is having its reward.

Tournament looks like a chance for the dev to test out Faction feature/coding in the backend.

Hrgh. Can't select ComStar so will stick with Lone Wolf, but is pretty much the default choice so will have buckleys chance of winning.

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.


I could have mentioned something along those lines in my sig or something, perhaps.

Things like this are why you are seeing higher solo drops, not because of any natural occurrence.

I really like this as an alternative to the "vs. the world" tournaments, but one of these days you really need to encourage team play.

Maybe we can formulate a Saturday or Sunday version of 3M just for this occasion.

Seems like a ridiculous rule for something called the Faction Challenge. :P

Because they haven't finished that part of CW yet.
