Whats the ETA on this maintenance? my winshee is in need of my attention

You can't give any bonus per planet tag when the planet is not up for contention. You'd have units that don't even play CW anymore reaping benefits from being hedged in with active units planets. It would need to be a short term bonus, maybe a one time payout to the unit and a 3 day discount on select items or a premium time type of earnings bonus.

This downtime is weirdly long just for a map reset...

I think the rewards for Tukayyid got dropped, too... At least, I got a "Redeeming Items" prompt when I logged back in... haven't tried to scrounge up what I got yet, though

There actually have been a large number of improvements along the way for the first phase of the beta, and there are a great deal more planned for the second runthrough. This isn't the first Tukayyid, and it won't be the last.

again my question.. why u need to reset the whole thing now... why not reset it once all been finalized ?

Expect multiple resets as each iteration of improvements happens. Then, quite possibly (since it was mulled over in several town halls now) expect possible resets with each "season" of CW as it unfolds and/or as the timeline advances . . . if they decide to do as such. Either way, there will be iterative resets of the map. This isn't the one and only reset that they'll be doing.

34 POINTS - So close Curse responsibilities!

Know the feel bro. At least the extra hours at work will buy my resistance 2 package.

After the mess this turned out to be for so many Inner Sphere players, you're really going to take this to any sort of updated status?

Yes you can - you make the planet bonus act like a supply line bonus so that WHEN and only when the unit attacks/defends a planet do they recieve the cumulative bonus. The bonuses might also be extra c-bill/xp end of round bonuses - so they would not recieve any bonus if they were not active for example...

And we have 5 fronts again. What about a game-mode where the Clans invade Marik space, hmm?

[Ink Sikes]

Is there a time/date when Faction Bonuses/Rewards will be announced? With Factions being reset and no posted changes us C-bill chasing Mercs are in a limbo.

"again my question.. why u need to reset the whole thing now... why not reset it once all been finalized ?"

I think in a testing phase its useful to restart the experiment from scratch to see if the changes you made worked out, and also to see if those changes made a new wrinkle somewhere else.

[MechWarrior3671771]

"I believe what Fenrisulvyn is referring to is that if a unit is able to get a planet "tagged" as theirs, that their unit coffers should be getting something like 10k c-bills a day per planet with their "tag". That concept I'm perfectly ok with (once MWO has the actual logistics added)."

Yup, pretty much. Just something to incentivize controlling a planet. We are pir- er... mercs, afterall.

they are considering adding two more clan factions I think, perhaps when the game gos to steam. could put them down the bottom against Maric Leo and Davian.

[mrcatstabber]

Kinda Crazy, but in the waiting for the clan ware fare matches, it would be cool to still interact with that innersphere map.

Would the lore purists allow that?
