There are not enough people in CW to even start a game. While I'm writing this there are exactly 12 poeple available in the different options...all 12 are in one game with 10 attackers and 2 defenders.

What needs to be done to get this mode rolling? I really love it and really want to play.

I know that I'm busy with RL. Maybe everyone else is too?

CW is for the "MIRREY". Just joking. CW will be reset soon, and I hear murmurs of SOLARIS. Hang on...it will get better.

There is a "map reset" coming in a few weeks and CW has slowed down a bit since that was announced. People don't want to fight over dots that they won't even have control over in a week or two.

That said, jump over to the Liao subforum and check out the units in the coordination thread. Having a friends list full of other Liaos will help you get games going faster.

It's not the prime time. Most people have regular 9-5s or like in my case - sitting in class. It'll pick up later in the day.

URBIE Few people are horrid enough to Lolz their way through a CW match in their shiny new trashcan.

CW was great at first. New. Shiny. But now the novelty has worn off and what remains is yet another Arena mode, undistinguished, generic planets, no Merc content, no extra unit options, a mostly buggy algorithm for selecting planets, no Tukayyid, no exciting endgame, just repetition.
I still love to play in my Mechs, but for repetition I can also play Puglandia, where wait times are short and bringing an unleveled Mech with no modules and playing without a team is not immediately punished.

Still hope for an immersive battlefield experience, though. One day... Maybe....

I know most of NS is taking a break prior to the map reset. Still we have enough on NA prime times to do 8 to 15 each night and we just mix in with other Kuritan units. Come Kurita we welcome all for CW drops (unless you LURM).

Strange but I have the opposite experience. I can level mechs in CW ... in public team drops I have to run META or we get punished hard by Timber Wolves and Dires oh my!

228 is at the point where we're looking for a more in-depth CW. We're just going to each faction and collecting our mech bay welfare cheque until CW becomes something more than a pug queue without match maker.

improving the performance would be a step into the right direction. in normal games i have my 40 fps, but cw is unplayable. it goes down to 5fps...-.-
and the maps are ugly too^^

[MandyB]

I was gonna say maybe choose a faction that has more options? you arent gonna get lots of fight down in Liao territory while everyone else is fighting clans.

[Nightmare1]

ROFL...I say that I'm busy with RL and everyone else says that they're busy being Oscar the Grouch with a bunch of guns or they're waiting for a map reset.

Apparently, I'm out of touch with this issue.

[Alienized]

listening to the new nightwish CD and the The Ghost Inside CD.
also, cooling my finger of doom. CW?..... nope. even if i could play aot. just nope. people are too bad for it.

The units have successfully convinced the pugs that they're not wanted in CW.

Congrats on your wasteland, guys. You've amply earned it

/Yes, I know it's not all of them, but it was enough for me to sour on it. Maybe next month

[HoundOfCullan]

I actually haven't choosen a house/clan yet. I'm new to CW (played the challenge, got my tbolt, found out you get free mechbays! and stuck around). I'm hoppiong about getting my bays too. Then I'm going to settle someplace.

I didn't know that CW was about to change though. That could very well be the problem. My contract is up tomorrow. I'll head into clan territory and see what's what.

Thanks, guys.

[sycocys]

Well a lot of the problem is that PGI refuses to develop past assault mode into something that would actually engage players to keep them coming back to the mode.

Personally I find CW more fun than standard drops, but really it's all the same thing built around different map styles - fight for the center or fight for one side of the map.

[PappySmurf]

Sorry fellas maybe log on prime time play a game but im mostly here----------------------->

I am out as well. Outweighed, outquirked and no one around. In the meantime I am going to be working on my 10,000 player kills for that game above.

[DarkMetalBlade]

BREAKING NEWS!! Peace has come to the Inner Sphere at long last! The outside invaders have called off their plans of invasion & are now withdrawing as we speak! Also, all the houses of the IS have made amends with each other. Because of this, the only fighting that can be had is in Solaris VII! More details at 11!

On a more serious note, if you must know where everyone's at, try looking in the public queues, especially the solo one.
