Replacing CW with it's own mode, added faction groups, added faction chat, added VOIP, 3 new maps for a total of 5 by Tuesday April 7th

Adding Looking for Group tool on April 7,new Algorithm April 7th, hoping to fix the recently discussed game mode bias to first team in queue

Russ Bullock ‏@russ_bullock 8m8 minutes ago
All these items have me considering perhaps the time is right for a map reset on or around April 21st when the game mode bias change is in

Russ Bullock ‏@russ_bullock 8m8 minutes ago
Seems it would be a pretty clean fresh start that is much more fair from the get go, then we can focus on phase 3 development

As well as a few features that would allow us to do big CW events such as Tuk next time we get there.

I think it's a good thing.

[Mad Strike]

It could possable happen.

[MechWarrior3671771]

Watching my clock tick to 18 mins. Thinking of how many pug drops I could have played.

Anything that speeds that up is good. The wait times are burning me out.

At least add horn or sound effect warning so I can leave it up searching while I'm off in the kitchen or something.

[Kilo 40]

won't make a bit of difference as long as CW continues to cater to large groups and ignores the rest of the player base.

[MechWarrior3671771]

...and we got pug farmed by a 12 "man" of potty mouth jackasses. Oh so much fun.

[Nemesis Duck]

Why not reset? Do it.

All your bases are possable mine?

[Deathlike]

Somehow I think one particular faction isn't going to like this...

[Onmyoudo]

Be interesting to see how it plays out a second time! We're waiting for you, Smoke Jaguar.

[StraferX]

Just a noob question because I do not know. When the map is reset are contracts reset as well? Just wondering because some may take certain contracts due to the current map direction?

I PUGged for 2 out of 3 wins Friday night. I did this against solid Clan Wolf opponents. *SHRUG* I did not feel ignored.

[Cyborne Elemental]

What difference is it going to make?
lol.. none..

Was going to happen eventually, and probably more than once before its out of beta.

[Lyoto Machida]

Not really seeing the point if nothing else is changing.

WOOT!

[Mechteric]

Don't much care for CW still, maps are like DOTA maps, which IMO is a terrible design for this game.

[C E Dwyer]

I think the should increase contract times before they reset.

[Xeraphale]

I reckon I'd prefer to reset after we have clan wave 3. level the playing field as far as mech choices go, at least.

[JaxRiot]

Bleh... Twitter again..

Not a big CW fan, but the changes seem decent.

Just out of curiosity, what benefit is there to resetting the maps?

[ThirtyOughtSix]

Why even do it, if it resets quarterly? I mean there is no incentive to take/keep a planet. Might as well make it a quo like regular games...they need to make it much harder to take a planet/extend the length between cease-fire. Maybe this way they would reduce the need to reset once a year or so. Also, give something to the faction for holding a planet. Who knows maybe once a month a faction gets # of planets x 10,000 bills. (I realize bigger factions would get much more money I'm not giving an exact reward system here). This way there's an incentive to keep going before reset.

[Voivode]

As long as the CW game modes aren't compelling I don't really care what they do with it. I'd rather have objectives that influence the PvP fighting. Something a little more along the lines of WoW's Warsong Gulch (though obviously they can't get quite that extravagant) and less "zerg rush the generators".
