no wonder nobody buys crap from the shop.

how about doing solo PuG events, you know the player base that represent 85% of your gamebase.

You...have no idea what Tukayyid is or how long some people have been waiting for this battle in a MechWarrior game, do you?

[EgoSlayer]

Gee, I wonder how you get the "85%" of people who don't play CW to try out the CW game modes?

Maybe something like a contest, or prizes. Maybe even a weekend event...

[Anarcho]

Not to mention that this event is an excelent oportunity to collect real data about clan x is balance, since everyone is fighting everyone and no more "flood the queue" bug !

[lshtaria]

I don't like CW and I don't play CW. I'm one of the "85%" you claim to be the solo pugging population.

But I support this event to help encourage people to play CW and also give some rewards to those who do enjoy playing it. There have been plenty of events catered towards the standard game mode over the last year and there will be many more. Only wanting events for the game type you prefer is pretty selfish.

Besides, the sale is pretty nice for everyone

So, 85% community like the eternal skirmish without any purpose... and PGI followed its qquing in forum and twitter for design MWO...

No wonder if mwo has become a mediocre fps :/

There is already MORE than enough solo focused gameplay in mwo. You have a solo queue in a multiplayer team based fps for pity's sake. That is already a massive concession in itself.
I hate to be so rude, but I'm getting so sick of solo entitlement-please don't post anymore topics like this.

All I know is that Tukayyid wasn't generic MOBA lanes

I'm really hoping this is a for science thing and not a regular thing because I cannot stand the lower earnings of clanwar and I'm sure a guy who makes 500,000 in a CW can make 250,000 easily in 3 solo queue matches time.

CW doesn't pay exp out very well either and while that isn't a problem for me since I don't need xp anymore...it is still low.

You have to remember that only 13.5% of all the activity in MWO takes place in CW. Russ Bullock said he's fine with that, but I'm sure he doesn't want the percentage to go down and would like it to go up a little if possible. The public queues don't need big promotions and events to keep their populations stable, but CW probably does. The last thing I want is for CW to disappear, even though I never play it myself (I play in the solo-only queue and nowhere else).

Yeah, earning is better in puglandia...BUT CW gives matches a sense!
I mean.... why are we fighting for?

It's too way cool to have a campaign!

My highest earning CW game was a little over 1.1 million C-bills. That is with premium time but it was IS so zero C-Bill bonus mechs. If you do well CW is very lucrative. - that was a full 30 minute game, considering in that time you will get 2-3 normal games, without using a hero mech i would be very unlikey to break 500k from 2 games.

like what? the "like a champion Mark X" to make people sit for day's behind their PC.
call that hardly good it's terrible company policy to force people sitting for hours on end to complete a stupid challenge.

A stupid challenge? I agree that the hours needed to complete it are a bit high for some players.

But nobody's forcing you to do anything!

Drop zones should be better defended by super turrets behind walls to prevent spawn camping, This is probably the number 1 reason people get pissed an stop playing CW. Spawn camping has killed many games and will Kill CW also. They could at least make drop ship AI smart so that if enemies are detected by a indestructable radar unit in the drop-zone they will divert to and unload unit at a secondary drop zone.
Ever play KEEP AWAY with a ball as a kid !! Drop ship Keep away!
Or dropsips unload mechs next to their main objective if they are all out at your base dropzones.

Not really, everyone is fighting for the 80 score minimum excpet a few units wanting tukkayid. So this will quite a lot mess with the real data. Especially when non elo random MM is also taking place.

I recommend stepping off the mainland and joining us in our island paradise. Gotta pay for the drinks, but the tiny umbrellas are included for free.

I am not a big fan of CW in its current state and play it rarely, but OP - you cant be more wrong. This is Tukayyid, the turning point in the war. This is so big, i am going to play as many CW matches as i can fit in my weekend.

erm... that would be the bulk of all previous events you are referring to

I think you are missing the point. Abisha isn't getting what they want, therefore noone is.
