Nice. Someone comes here to express an issue they're having with the game and your response is to call the a liar. Well, go **** yourself. Why would I make **** like that up? Jesus, man, if my company treated our customers like folks here treat people we'd be out of business in a matter of days!

I don't have any screenshots, and since I'm unlikely to drop in CW again I'm not likely to get any. I know what I saw the past few times I dropped though - Davions mostly with no/few unit tags, and clans mostly with unit tags, and mostly matching tags.

Though, like I said in a previous post, that's fine. CW is obviously not meant for solo players, regardless of skill level. I just won't go there anymore. It's the ladies bathroom of mech drops - only go in groups. No loss for me - been doing 'normal' drops since Phoenix and I'll just continue with that. Just need to figure out a way to disable the "blahblah planet needs help" or maybe change it to "blahblah unit needs some pugs to stomp" so I'm not tempted to "help."

So, you had/have no idea if that team was solo or grouped, you just assumed they were all solo, even the all the ones under the same Faction.

Oddly, I did NOT call you a Liar, I just asked to see proof of your claim. You have the burden to make good on your claim. Since you have no proof, will not provide, not any interest in, you resort to name calling and insults. Sign of a weak mind and even weaker argument. Since you claim to be a business owner, you should know you cannot make claims without providing proof of statement.

Of course CW is for Groups and Units. Was made that way. Sorry you found out the hard was what we have know all along.
Your playstyle is solo, therefor stick to solo playstyle and supported game modes, you will have more fun if you try to play solo in the group centric part of the game.

BTW, since we know this 12man unit stomp is total BS and only happen 1% of the time, your pug stomping you hate so much is being done to you by, wait for it, pugs! Just like how you are getting stomped in the solo queue and in the group queue. If your getting stomped in the solo queue, group queue, and CW, what makes you think you should have any easier time not getting stomped by not playing in a group, by not using teamwork, not using any one of the tools solo asked for?

If you think CW is the ladies room because you cannot solo it, then you should go back to pissing in the outhouse that is solo queue.

I know "join an unit" or "find a faction hub" seems like a smart ass response to these threads but it is really the first line item on the pre-flight checklist so to speak.

Community Warfare is setup in such a way that it encourages 'attackers' to be made up of 12 mans, or nearly 12 mans. While 'defenders' are usually made up of random pugs from across known space.

Dropping pug is a grab bag for disaster. Finding a good team leads to much more fun

Agree with all of these fine folks.

I think the only remaining advice that's not being told to newcomers/discouraged PUGs enough is to look at the planetary info tab of the planet you are considering to attack/defend. If everyone is in the '1' column that means everyone on your side is going to be a solo. If that drop happens it is going to be a disaster for you.

At many times and sometimes always for certain factions, that is what every single potential drop available to you is going to look like. Really your best option is not to drop.

[Maver0ick]

Others have already given some good advice. Playing CW and avoiding being on a team of 12 solos is easy as pie. Just look at the queue information before you join. If it looks like this, then simply don't join or cancel if you're already queued up.


If the queue looks like this, then go ahead and join

You don't need to join a unit, but joining/forming groups for the community warfare mode will make your enjoyment levels skyrocket.

This pretty much ...

An having dropped as a PUG as much as in my unit ive had many wins Pugging versus other Pugs and even against a number of groups / 12 mans, but you need to be coordinated hopefully with Pugs who actually know how to play CW & have proper drop decks to play with.
