If PGI knew that IS outnumbered the Clans by 30:1 why didn't they say something so people could shift to help the balance and people could actually play CW.

So PGI should allow changes to happen immediately so that the Clan and IS numbers can be evened out.

We want to play CW not wait in a broken queue for hours day on day and not get a game.....

second that. you should be able to play for one clan and one IS faction at same time, depending on what is needed most or lets you get into a game quicker.

So...move more organized units to clans while IS keeps the PUG's.



What could that possibly go wrong...

Is it a blanket approval? First come? It's being run through their support so they have control of how many units will be approved vs how many solo pilots. Do you know how it is being run exactly?

As if submitting individual requests on the forums is the fastest most efficient way.

Insisting on a mistake is worse than making it. i think a good solution is to remove the leaderboards (along with its rewards) and then remove the faction change cooldown... this way instant faction change wont cause abuse of non-existent boards.

in return you get good and fun matches without being forced to wait 30 minutes in the queue just to be thrown at the back constantly when somebody leaves the already assembled team.

I just want to play some CW matches... you can have all the rewards PGI.

Yes please, this is the only viable solution now that the event has started. PGI must have seen this coming so why not tell us that clans are so outnumbered? While I expected IS would outnumber the clans I would have broken my current contract if I'd known it was going to be this bad.

This post is exactly my thoughts. Forcing player loyalty to arbitrary factions is beyond stupid and means tons of people CAN'T PLAY THE GAME! This game will die if people log in and CAN'T PLAY.

Just let me run a clan drop once in a while when there is more IS, or switch to my IS drop to run that if there is enough Clan. I just want to play, not wait!

They can't, it's Too Hard™. They didn't code it that way and would require a re-write of the entire game code from scratch. Plus the death of 143 kittens.

This. I just want to play. House Steiner has great lore, which is why I chose them, but I just want to pilot stompy mechs and shoot my laser beams. That's all. I will even go so far as to say I want to stress test the CW function and make it work, but ultimately, stompy mechs and laser beams.

Its sorta been obvious for the past several weeks to months that Clan was outnumbered. Really wasn't that hard... Just that a lot of individuals have invested in IS mechs and thus did not want to switch factions because of that.

[VoodooLou Kerensky]

I guess you should all be thankful that Clans even Bother with CW during this event or doing nothing until the last day of the event and then attacking. By then the Inner Sphere units would have lost interest and have to scramble to get enough people to keep from losing everything to 'Ghost Drops'. And where is ComStar and the ComGuard during all of this? They are the ones who bid this Battle but its YOU who are fighting to keep ComStar in control of Terra. You'd think that they would take responsibility for defending at least 1 of the 63 Segments as a show of Support for the Rest of the House units. Who knows maybe they will,but I wouldnt bet on it.

[LordNothing]

if i had doomcrows id switch.

[zeves]

until CW becomes more substantial maby its for the best if it was 1 planet only and anyone could pick any team. some people that ignore CW would play it if the wait time was like it is now for clans

**** no the only point of this event is the leaderboards none of the other carp matters.
