Hail Steiner:


For those that haven't read th eupdated announcement, pls review:
http://mwomercs.com/...79-matchmaking/


I'm sure all the Units are excited to finally have regular competitive drops which will breath new life in our activity numbers and the game itself. Since there aren't weight/Class restrictions, its up to the Community to come up with a standard in order to ensure the most enjoyable experience when performing Unit vs Unit combat. I'm sure this will change in the future but for now I'd like to have a consensus across the IS Units.

I feel the best option for competitive play would be the True Lance format. Since its an 8 man drop, that would mean 2 mechs in each Class. I understand it isn't ideal for everyone but no one here would enjoy fighting unbalanced teams over and over again....we do this already in the current PUG/Matchmaking system. Please discuss internally so we can come to an agreement once it goes live(Dec4th).

This post will be on each House Forum.

Black Hearts are committed to True Lance drops and support the community that has kept Battletech alive for all these years without a new title to play.

Some people are saying in retrospect the things we said before it went live. We didn't realize how much ECM would effect the 8-man groups, but it's significant I think.

If only we had the ability to choose opponents I would also suggest "no dupes". Unfortunately, with the undependable sync drops being the only method for 8-mans, I don't see this taking hold. We long for a game for so many years, and when we finally get one, it has no means of playing it the way we'd imagined.

I don't bother with threads like that Kilgore, too many assumptions made by folks that don't understand they cannot control how others play, and the internet/this site, allows denigration in place of real discussion. If we ever get real match-making, I'll make the choice to only drop against those that will make this type of GA.........I'm not holding my breath.
