The clans left the game after Tukayyid, PGI just nerfed the major clan mechs while doing nothing to adjust the fair number of clan vs. is players. Clan Smoke Jaguar is eliminated from the map. That is 3 major butt-hurts to the clans in as many weeks. Does PGI really expect any Clans to get all hyped up for a weekend event?

Is anyone going to come out and do this?
I'd rather go enjoy the US Memorial Day weekend across the border.

I would have to work up a bit of enthusiasm to be completely disinterested...

I think the event is a little silly.

PGI thinks they had problems with IS vs Clan population balance for Tukkayyid?

Wait till people see they can only gain a nice medallion by playing clan.

Will be lucky to find a IS defender to take a planet from.

PGI, why didn't you do something more thoughtful like combine this with Resistance to give both sides something to earn?

Hope it works out.

Well I will be defending when I can. Maybe the IS will get the break and have short queue times whilst the Clanners can sit around and wait for drops.

The only incentive to play IS this weekend in CW is to deny other people something, while playing clan can get you something. Not sure why someone would voluntarily pick getting nothing guaranteed over probably getting something for free, unless you're a hardcore roleplayer or something.

Because then they would have to reoffer those LP medallions from Phoenix and that would piss off all the PP owners as they stated in the PP topics.
Darn shame this is the only way to get Clan LP medallions.

Because of this

And because I don't own any clan mechs and have no intention of ever doing so. Besides if some of us don't show up on the IS side who are you going to fight. Or would you rather get your 5 planets via ghost drops.

I frankly don't care whether the Clanners get their planets (and bonus) or not. If it increases my chances of getting a match I will take it.

I would point out that the OP in this thread is the one encouraging people not to play, not me and certainly not to deny anyone anything.

Huh...huh...huh...

LOLs

good luck for the ones who play. Me its a nope.

[madhermit]

Lol theyre even offering MC now. Pretty desperate attempt to breathe life into CW.

Still have my mcs from a really long time ago...so no need.

[Ben Delat]

I am pissed. Finally they implement a CW Scoring system that is fair in comparison to Pub Games, and then its clan Exclusive.

Well, i bought Witcher 3.
Have Fun ghost Dropping,Clanners.

they offered mc for several other cw events before didn't they
you could get at least 450 for the battle of tukkayid

[anonymous161]

Meh I think pgi is gonna have to do something fairly soon about the crisis cropping up, people are leaving the game yet again over poor balancing.

If people aren't having fun then they are not going to be spending money or bothering to play the game. I'd say before nerfs things were going smoothly enough but when you hit us with a hammer we not likely to come back for more anytime soon.

Good luck pgi.

[CruiseMissileCowboy]

Had to laugh at PGI latest announcement - in order stave off a complete no-show on the event, they are allowing IS Mercs to take Clan contracts just before the event, and any other half-brained pug that reads the forums to switch for the event. Merc units flooding one side or the other is what broke the Tukayyid event, many tears were shed on the forums about it and asking to not let it happen again. PGI did the opposite, and made it easier for contracts to be switched. I bet PGI thinks that China will be our friends, form a democracy, and free Tibet. For PGI - "I got some ocean front property in Arizona." 8-)

CW CONTRACT AUTO-RESET!

[color=#EEEEEE]
Greetings MechWarriors,

The Clan Invasion Event starts tomorrow at 3:00 PM PDT!

At 2:45 PM PDT tomorrow we are going to automatically zero-out any Contracts that have less than three days remaining.

So if you break your current Contract before 2:45 PM PDT tomorrow with an intent to start a Clan Contract, your Cooldown period will automatically be removed to allow for the signing of a new Contract with the Clan of your choice.
This also means that if your Contract is naturally set to expire in less than 3 days, it will also be cleared.


This reset will require that the game services go offline for a very brief period of time (approximately 5 minutes).
Services will be restored after that time, and the Event will start as normal at 3:00 PM PDT. [/color]

And you can get 600 in this one. No matter. No amount of MC is gonna make me play CW until they fix the matchmaking (which doesn't even exist at the moment) and balance out the organized vs pug stompfest games. I for one don't really enjoy waiting first 20 minutes in queue only to be spawncamped for another 10-15 minutes.

Nobodys butthurt. If PGI doesn't want people to play Clans and only want to satisfy the IS community then theres really nothing people can do expect just accept it and move on to other things that they find enjoyable. I fully understand that they want to keep IS community happy since it has the most players. Business is business and they need to stay afloat somehow.

Or are you suggesting people should keep playing something they don't enjoy because "otherwise youre butthurt lol".

[CLANBOY FFI]

I have said it many times, CW is a failed game mode its not working , It needs a complete rethink, Why even keep going with Beta testing when its only played in large numbers with a reward inspired challenge. LOOK AT THE NUMBERS > NO >>> LOOOOK AT THE NUMBERS PGI. IT IS NOT GOING TO WORK.

Its understood alot has been put on the CW but stop now. Dont waste anymore time and money on the CW in its present format.

Biggest Killers ,

TIME WAITING TO ENTER

TIME WAITING TO ENTER

Getting Rolled by 12 man drops when in a pug team

Laggy maps ( Not sure why CW maps are laggy and normal are not)

The same old thing without new or exciting game modes. (Its Just Skirmish called CW with lag)

All faction can not fight the clans due to map ( yes it may be by Lore but its a fail)

Rewards are just grim. Not worth the effort, more can be made with ease doing normal drops.

Anyway enough with the moaning. You guys have done a fantastic job, Just please listen to advise before its to late.
