So by tonight FRR capital will be surrounded, wolf and ghost bear will have a united front to push southwards with. When should we expect the FRR surrender?

Guess what the map resets next update...

PGI says nope!

I told you to be still! Now look what you've done.

[Albatroz]

Yeah... this guy plays in easy mode and thinks he´s good. That´s sad, man.

Btw, don´t the clans have ANYTHING else to do with their lives? Girlfriends, jobs, gym, travelling...? No? Damn...
I win against them 80% of the times I play CW. But I play a little, because, well... I´m a grown man. The interesting part is: when I go to sleep, everything is ok; when I wake up and check how things are out of curiosity, we lost 1 or 2 planets in a matter of hours.

Needless to say that we lost several players already. After all, it´s nice resisting and all, but see that your efforts don´t pay out is just frustrating. This is not real life where we would defend homes with our lives, This is real life: we just go outside and go do something fun. OR get our work done. Anything else but a frustrating bugged game.

Yesterday I was working until very late and decided to check how was CW going. Well, the majority of our defenders has gone to sleep and the CGB had even more players than before. Yeah, I know there´s a problem of Time Zones, but even so... I don´t think FRR needs players from different time zones, we need more teenagers.

Well, I won´t play for several weeks now. I´m from Brazil and on vacation. I´m just going to the beach with my wife. IF this game was rocking, i would take my ultrabook with me and play in the spare time... but, MEH. It´s too bad, because I love MWO, but CW is nothing of what I though it would be.

In a month I´ll be back and check if balance is back on tracks. Until then!

What there is going to be a map wipe?

It's been talked about. But no. Not confirmed.

[Nick86]

Come on guys! Defending your planets is getting boring.. You've got some of the best players around last time I looked. Lets stomp some Steiners on both flanks. Any way of negotiating the creation of an attack corridor with GB so they have a path to Steiner and not just into you guys? I have a feeling they would like that...

Up to y'all!

Hi Tarogato, Jemima, Abivard, DerpRage and YokiLin!

We took some Steiner planets yesterday, but I think most of our work is on CGB/Wolf's front.

I was about to say, Agnate is returning to the FRR after our contract is up with the capellans. We hope to make a difference and some money.

[Syris]

Just hold on FRR is about to get some reinforcements.

Hi Tarogato, Jemima, Abivard, DerpRage and YokiLin!

If only I can find a way to get Steiner and the FRR to stop smacking each other around. Why can't Steiner be this motivated to fight CJF (They held a planet last night, and stopped CJF from taking it), we need them to start attacking so CJF can't throw all their players on offense.

Russ said that the reset /might/ happen/. They were going to poll the players, though. Also, I think they were going to consider a reset if the clans push far enough, fast enough.

Steiner pushed into us I believe, a couple days ago suddenly saw that a bunch of em were queing for an offense. But I can't speak of much considering I've only had one IS vs IS match ever.

Uh... let the Clanners push into us then actually start a real good offense off the bat into Clan territory? I don't know considering even our capital is surrounded and we keep losing planets even after winning 8+ attack/defend on a planet..

The rest of us can handle defending your worlds, while you start retaking the captured ones. It does us no good to keep defending FRR, Kurita, and Steiner worlds, only to have them eventually lost, because no one is attacking clan worlds. We have the numbers for defense, we need some people to keep attacking non-stop.

However, we need to get that organized first. We need units to start organizing a big counter-offensive. Where Davion, Marik, and Liao units and mercs defend, while FRR, Kurita, and Steiner units attack.

A: Sorry if im not updated, but have we taken Steiner worlds again? Because of their cease fire with the wolves (if even thats legitime anymore)? It might be puggies or/ and disguised merc units having their field day.
We should stand together!
And Steiner/ Kurita should get back the planets we took from them once the invasion have been pushed back and all up on the front have retaken enough worlds. Same goes for any other. If there could be an feature like that. Have planets loaned to another faction as buffer or even donate one world, could give something back maybe? Like C- Bills and even MC?

B: Well a CW map wipe would be totally in its place, along with new features and investment in planets? We know what its like now and mostly got our idea and training on how to deal with attack/ defence on the two avaiable maps.

One guy around here had an excellent idea that maybe there should be a limit on how many Lances and Stars that can try to take over a world, if used up their mechs, they should try another planet. Meaning there could be more planets able to defend/ attack than now. Only minus is less populations per world, well maybe not, depending on how many mechs should be able to attack planets at any given time.

C: The timezone differences and planet swapping does makes it feel defending a bit futile, especially when well organized units have strived to defend a planet for only to lose it, bacause the players have their night time while the attackers are fully awake, on caffeine and ghost invade like theres no tomorrow. Something must be done, i hope PGI cook a solution up soon.

Steiner is just too divided to help FRR right now. It's either defend against Jade Falcon or attack/defend against Marik. No one is queuing up for jade falcon attacking. It's very frustrating right now.

[Gattling Fenn]

So, what I'm wondering is if MWO is going to follow Battletech canon and have the FRR cease to exist. I mean, you guys are right in the clans invasion corridors.

[Syris]

FRR is not going to fall The money is right God Bless Merc Units

[jd7710]

Played one match today 12 man FRR and kicked some clanner butt. And by the way we were attacking. Good game and the FRR ts hub works like a charm. It's not the machine that wins it's the man in the pilot seat that wins!!!
