It's in the FAQ. You'll have to activate banked time.

Yeah, that's gonna be a problem. Most people aren't going to want to start the clock ticking on their banked time just for a tourney. That's what this is forcing them to do.

12 man drops require 3/3/3/3 for non premium versions. This one sets tonnage limit, but rules beyond that are whatever the drop lead wants.

Did they reimplement it (successfully) and I missed the memo?

Good thing none of the top teams use Spiders then, eh?

I cannot speak for the rest of my unit, 1FSAC, but I'm very sure they'll line up for this chance. As for me, I've already declared myself a Substitute/Alternate Player. To all other teams: I wish only the best of luck to one and all. Skill, Warriors. <o

You can't form a 12 man group in a private match without premium options if you don't set it up to 3/3/3/3. If you do use the premium options, you can limit it by group tonnage. But the free private matches are limited to 3/3/3/3.

When 12 mans were dropping into the public queue, they were limited to that as well.

I most likely won't be able to participate due to having to work during most of those time brackets, but I'd like to add that this is what was SORELY missing from this game; a team-based competition to promote team-based cooperation.

I'm hoping that with all the streaming and YouTube recaps of the tourney, a lot of solo players will seek out units to join or form units of their own so that more competitive play can be had by all.

Only part I don't agree with is the Premium Time. It should not even be in the private match lobby model to begin with. Premium Time should only be a choice by a player to gain an XP/Cbill boost. Period.

If anyone wants a pilot, I'm looking to join! Send me a message here or email me, I got teamspeak, head set, and tons of mechs to choose from.

[WonderSparks]

I like how the first few responses to the OP were Steiners...
In all seriousness, though, it sounds like an interesting event, but I think I'd rather have my wisdom tooth pulled than try to find 14 people to play with.

[Jonathan Paine]

Great initiative PGI! Will be out of town for this one, but hoping that there might be more in the future (stock mechs! class and weight limits!).

[BARBAR0SSA]

This is great news, hopefully the add in permanent leader boards where you can challenge individuals and other lances etc.

I'm so pissed that this tourney the prizes are SUBSTANTIAL compared to the crap I won before....so so angry!
*cough I want hero mechs*

[Aym]

Awesome PGI!

[Chavette]

Love the idea, but only 3 subs? Come on, we have timezones and everything, and a WHOLE series of matches, anything can happen... people moving, finals, or just work getting in the way of the match schedules... consider making it more please!!!

And this, ladies and gentlemen is what MWO should have been all about from the start. Better late than never. Regardless of the delay, this is a great move forward!



Tonnage limits will make sure that you don't have nothing but assaults

Tonnage limits but no minimums and no class restrictions means 12xspiders will be a fun way to play the conquest matches lol.

Can I buy a winners shirt? Large plz... I guess that might be considered small in the gaming community

Looking at the RHOD/MRBC EU Division there are plenty of teams.

Yea, 6-10 elitist groups but not 32.

[mp00]

Only the team captains will require premium time and they will provide it for them. Just need to find a person without banked premium time to be the captain. As there are limited spots I can see some teams forming on the fly with a lot of elite players joining forces so expect a few 'all-star' teams. But remember this is a 'beta' tournament so for those who get in enjoy! For those who watch enjoy!
