So when I played in the phoenix mech challenge last weekend I briefly allowed myself to become excited for what would surely be a clan mech competition. Perhaps I could be the best, mist lynx pilot, or maybe the gargoyle.

Then this happened:

Why community warfare as the only option?

I don't care for the game mode and when I solo drop I primarily play conquest. Community warfare offers me nothing except frustration. Needless to say that I am disappointed in the decision to omit players of the non CW game

Next weekend please have a competition for vanilla players who also spent money to own some clan mechs.

The other game modes don't need bribes just to survive.

It's the only way to get pugs to play CW so the groups have someone to smash.

[WazOfOz]

gotta agree with you peeps, ( as has been stated before CW is for the hard core win at all cost competitive crowd ) and that's not my idea of fun. I'm not overly interested in being cannon fodder for them to feel good about them selves.
solo players going up against large groups is from the dark old days of MWO and I don't wanna revisit that time.

Win at all costs types? Wat?

I'm clearly not playing the same CW as everyone else. It's the queue I can take Awesomes and Vindicators, Summoners and Novas and still average a 5.0 KDR.

I just hate the 15 min wait times. That why I don't play CW.

[WazOfOz]

when I was speaking of the win at all cost crowd I was thinking more along the lines of base zerging and spawn killing and some other even lower tactics I've heard about lately (sure base zerg can happen in solo pug non CW matches also, but not by 12 lights)
but hey don't let me subtract from your fun, just not my cup of tea atm. enjoy your 15 minute if not longer wait times

Hooray an event where I have to wait 15 minutes just to participate.

After 2 matches I logged out of boredom. I have no idea how to make this fun, but the zerg v zerg bottleneck gameplay is /yawn.

Every pug drop gets placd against a 12 man in IS meta mechs.

I enjoy CW matches, except for when tryhards spawn camp, but thats a seperate issue as it doesnt happen exceedingly often.

No, I don;t drop in CW often because the wait times are pathetic as a solo player. I can earn c-bills out the wazoo comparitively for similar game time in normal pug drops, or at worst, a similar amount and I get to actually play during the time.

I feel like it is an end game type, because having mastered mechs you are familiar with is a big plus. I think the game mode has the potential for immense fun. I like CW to be honest. it needs to be fleshed out with some more logistics, more meaning to which planet etc, but I am pretty sure Russ and crew is working on that.

They are adding dropships to the revised old maps when they work on them. I think they will incorporate the old maps into the CW somehow, and also have more mission objectives etc as time goes on. When we get to that point, it will be wicked awesome. We arent there yet. I have high hopes we will get there by the end of the year. but time is always ticking.

1 million for 30 minute drops, yes please.

[Gladewolf]

Well, this weekend anyway, wait times for IS are just about 0
