just don't let paul hit clans with the nerf bat. instead buff the inferior sphere

Please, for the love of god, don't contniue to nerf Clan tech with even MORE heat penalties and even MORE range reductions. Give Inner Sphere mechs perks which make them more survivable, give Clan mechs perks which make them less survivable, or which punish poor play, and please, please, don't increase the heat on Clan weapons even MORE.

Seems to be mostly clan 12-2 victories. Nearly every match has had that score so far. I've seen one single clan loss because people were being REALLY dumb on caustic, but that was the exception.

I also agree with the above post.

Nice to get a chance to play as Clans this time around, so far only a few out and out stomps, with a couple of games soundly won by a very organized IS team, kudos to you guys.

[Empyrus]

Hope you keep this going on for rather long, that way Europeans get to try this properly too. I'm up way too late, so i got lucky...

[Skull Ringer]

Well, matching has always been complete [redacted]..
But it IS a good test of the Pay to Win model..
Won 5 matches out of over 25 with IS
..and just in time for the new Clan Pack..hummm

So 3pm PST for 4 hours is...6pm to 10pm/12am EST? Yay!!

[IM Bullwinkle]

Premium time should be refunded for the duration of this event.

Ok so I'm reinstalling for the first time in at least a year and a half. Yay! Anyway on the first pic is that Russ Bullock himself on the bottom of the list? Also, the Clans are SUPPOSED to be superior to the IS. Please don't make them equal. If anything they should be 12v10 drops clans getting the 10 spot.

IIRC they said this wouldn't happen.
But i think it should be done anyway.

But perhaps the Clans should be only matches against other Clans in normal MM (ie 10 or 12 vs equal amount of players but only same tech), and in Faction warfare it would be 10 clan vs 12 IS.

Dear Precentor,
 
It appears that heavy fighting has been recently reported along the Inner Sphere, Free Rasalhague Republic border.  The invasion force, code named "Clans" are inflicting heavy casualties.
 
Inner Sphere units however are showing up in higher numbers and it seems they're starting to push back.  More information as it breaks.

hint: zoom in on the IS map on the Faction tab... something's going on.

[Empyrus]

Nice!

[PewPew2]

Not sure if serious.....................

[Empyrus]

Serious.

[Handsome G]

Some people are jumping into IS mechs and throwing matches. Just so you guys are aware.

[Dirk Le Daring]

Nice.

Edit: The quote function seems broken.

I really like the map showing what I assume are systems being contended.

I've had a few 4-12 5-12. But this loss streak has me shutting down the game until this is over. Definitely need some sort of balance.

[mp00]

4 matches on conquest CLAN 2 wins IS 2 wins (overall pretty even)
3 matches on conquest IS V IS

3 matches on assault CLAN 2 wins IS 1 win (one clan win was a medium laser away from reversing)
1 match on assault IS v IS

2 matches on skirmish CLAN 2 wins IS 0 wins
2 matches on skirmish IS v IS

Having ran a few matches as IS - it is just so hard to bring the clanners down !! Head to head they have much more survivability than the IS. I just can't carry enough DPS to wear them out, (and I am a pilot who takes survival very seriously). Speed just doesn't make that much more difference when you have to hit them twice as much as they hit you.
