pretty straight forward,
should the (Faction) Tab be renamed,
should it be renamed to (Community Warfare) Tab,
or perhaps just to (Warfare) Tab,

why you may ask,
seeing that CW is more than just Factions,
but the battles between Forces of the Galaxy,
i feel leaving it just Factions seems a little misleading,
as Factions is looked to as player made guilds,
and CW is much more than that,


Agree? Disagree?

Me and every other player I asked wants the "Play Now" button renamed "Drop" or something similar, and the "faction" button to be renamed "Succession Wars".

[Myke Pantera]

I support JohnnyZs idea of renaming PlayNow to Drop and Factions to Invasion

[Kalimaster]

I think it is to early to be asking this question. CW has not even come out and we need to see what they have all planned for it before we make an change.

[Gremlich Johns]

"Drop" would be a great option considering "Play Now" takes so long to actually happen sometimes

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

Instead of Play Now or Drop or whatever, the traditional Mechwarrior name is Instant Action. I say change it to that.

As for the Faction tab, Community Warfare, Succession Wars, Invasion, etc., would all work.

[GrimReality]

"Play Now" makes more sense to the newbie, I disagree with altering that.

Now, to the original topic, I don't know why anybody would be against "Community Warfare" instead of "Factions." This is just another part of the current UI that's weird and uninformative.

[patataman]

Among the available choices "Comunity Warfare" makes more sense to me, since it is how the devs call this mode.

But it still doesn't sound right. How about "Planetary Conquest"?

And "Drop" sounds better than "Play now". Edit: On second thought "Instant Action" sounds even better.

It's fine how it is. You never know. They, or someone, might have an idea concerning the Faction Tab, which is more suitable for their undertaking. Possible pilot page, some kind of neat information page. Who knows. It was named that way for a reason. Relax and enjoy the game.

I voted "Warfare" on the poll, but what I would personaly like is none of the above..

Why I voted as I did is this: As a graphics designer, I know what a mess a line of text twice as big as the one you're changing (and the one your "graphic box" is fited for) can be..

Simply put, "Warfare" is about the same size as "Factions", while "Community Warfare" would mean they would have to stretch the box unconfortably long (making it look even more cluttered), or change the font to fit two lines of text, one on top of the other.. both would look ugly.

On the other hand.. Community Warfare is not an accurate term.. Faction Warfare would be more acurate, or even "Interstellar Conquest"

Warfare would not be very accurate also, since it entails any type of engagement, even solo play.

So I think it would be best to name the faction tab "Galaxy" and play now "Hot drop" (witch goes nicely with the new drop from dropship we have in river, forest and will get on other maps too)

These terms would be much more immersive and would not clearly indicate that the player is in the HUD of a game.. but perhapse in a Mech Base or Dropship terminal..

(See PGI, the devil's in the details)
