I can see your point. Weed out the riff raf. However, some people just seem to miss the forest for the trees. And your comment is exactly that. This game needs more players to stay alive and healthy. Once steam release comes some people will play a little then after 30 games realize hey this is the same thing - over, and over, and over again.

Not only is Solaris about the longevity of the game but also for people who don't want team based play (yes they are out there). People want variety, doing the same thing over and over again is loosely the definition of insanity. Plea to PGI: take the insanity out of the game.

I hear Hawken is a fun arena shooter for those who don't want much Mechwarrior in their MWO. Solaris isn't variety. It is the stubborn consistency that is the hobgoblin of small minds.

You want one on one matches? Buy premium time, advertise on the site you're looking for the same, choose a small map, enjoy.

Looks like all the fun replies were on the first page. +1 for Solaris. The star map is where the serious fighting will be. Solaris is where the pure for fun matches are and maybe the big creds to. I can see the Solaris champion trophy in my cockpit now and maybe pilots quarters if they ever add that.

Trophies??? TROPHIES???!!!???

Playing unobserved one on one matches with a leaderboard to feed the narcissism of a couple players

What is the value to the community at large f this mode concept again other than what I would call freakish self abuse? People complain abut how few people are benefitting from CW and so there is a proposal for a mode that will serve fewer people with less purpose other than self aggrandizement?


Do you see why I am critical of this?

Not at all. I think your argument that there should be NO SOLO BASED PLAY AT ALL is simply put - ludicrous...other than through premium time..forget that.

Also, your point that few people are benefiting from CW is because few people want to play a 12 v 12 premade to be competitive. Some dare I say ALOT of player just want to be mercs. That is where mercs shine. Exluding them is an idiotic idea for both the community and PGI to ignore.

Well duels wont be the biggest thing anyway. It will be the FFA's and other fun modes, as well the much coveted URBY DERBY trophy everyone will be after.

I am sorry but everything you are asking for is already done in private matches.

As for not wanting solo only content, nothing could be further from the truth. I was the driving force in my unit to create Operation Gumbo. A blend of TTRPG role play and MWO missions. It was an incredible success within our group. We had free for alls, raids, rescues, duels... you name it. All backed by a central storyline and 3 wonderful "faction" gms that had groups of 4-6 players and about 40 designated as fill in OpFor who played the part of NPCs in private match.


See... solaris offers nothing that isn't available already in private matches. Just worthless trophies and fake accomplishment.

If PGI ever offers downloadable mission packs for PVE play... I am so there. Been wanting that since day 1 I learned of this game.

Well the part about everything being done in private matches isnt true. The rest sounds fun if it was done properly in game.

About the worthless trophies and fake stuff, your no fun is all.

Nah... I just lack secular narcissism. I'm famous in my Father's eyes.

The Op Gumbo which ran for 6 months was great.

Again all this is possible without a new mode unless the one critical item demanded is "Free" access to private matches.

Wow man lighten up. Trust me, rl trophies in real life competitive sports are worth no more. I know.

The only big difference is rl sports is much better for a persons health. But that goes for alot of things. On the bright side, Mechwarrior online is low in calories.
