So, we got a CW patch today, did it help anything? Make anything better? ofc, it was just UI stuff and Q times....has it helped at all? I only saw maybe 70 people in the Q earlier, havent tried a game yet.

faction wide grouping, this will help to make soem solo's come back and attachign them to a group.

[Summon3r]

for the most this patch is an absolute lateral (cept for $$ variants in gift store lol?) i was hoping for so much more, maybe feb 3. CW still boooooooooooooring

[Bigbacon]

i dont think much is going to change until they get global faction stuff in place and get more maps, better maps, bigger maps.

So what are the times? PGI did not mention this in the notes...

[Flaming oblivion]

I'm seeing 37 attackers 47 defenders across the entire ghostbear front this is primetime.

So I'm going to shoot for no.

But tbh the minute russ said PuGs shouldn't play CW in the townhall I snickered. Numbers went down immediately

Thing is you need pugs to make CW happen but PuGs don't want 12 mans

So the big question is

PGI do you want to make 12 mans or PuGs happy ?

I recommend you look at %s on both sides of the argument and make your minds up what you want CW to be

1) A flagship release for the masses.?

2) A niche release for the elitist minority?

Down to 13attackers 27 defenders across the entire ghost bear front.

Clock says in about 4 hours one starts, and then there is a cease fire every 8 hours after conflict resumes.

They need the "Prestigious Planetary Invasion Elite Group Queue" for 12 mans and the "Backwater Planet Militia Fan Faire Invasion" for the Underhive.

If only we had a more social interface to be able to talk to people and find groups....

I take it your not biased at all. Who exactly is this super secret "elitist" minority? How are they Elitist exactly? Is there a club that only really cool people can get in to or is it like a money thing where you have to buy your way in? I'd love to know more.

Problem is there needs to be some centralisation of TS channels, atm so much channel hopping going on between divisions..

OMG, Sulpher rift is a prime example of so much wasted real estate....

Those CW maps could be in depth, multi layered missions.

No. My militia give this to all comers, whether regular or elite units:

[TripleEhBeef]

Currently I see more players online. The Marik/Dave border is much more active again than it has been in the past few days.

Unfortunately I just got bumped off my PC cause my bro needs to type up a resume draft.

This. A global / faction chat in a MMO is a must. Yes, the players adapt and make friends, create units... but it would be sooooooooooo much easier with an "out of match" chat...

Update now 29 people in the entire Ghostbear domain.

I warned the 12 mans what would happen when they upset to many pugs.

[Commander A9]

They unnecessarily flipped the Boreal minimap and changed its colors. It annoys me.

I doubt it, people group up with friends and are comfortable with that, thats why they dont go round trying to group with strangers/other groups and since it doesnt take you being in a 12 man to be able to launch into a game for these small groups its not going to make a difference, they will keep on grouping with their group of friends.
No doubt there is a percentage that it may be useful for but in reality if these people wanted to group up in bigger groups they would of done so already, just opinion tho.
