I am a Solo player. Clans and units have soured me to joining them without careful vetting. I have had my fill of internal drama and e-peen measuring contests that pit one group of friends against another. Yes I look for good units and groups of people to play with but a very vocal minority of you are elitist jack holes. IE the OP, who I am thinking is really just a troll. There is no way you are serious. If you are LOL.

by the way when I can get matches I enjoy the CW maps. PS it's labeled BETA2. It's not done yet.

Just remember without solo players all those teams that do CW would not get to many drops done. No matter time zone it is there is really never enough teams that are a full 12 man group. I have seen where there is only 4 players looking for a match or there has been about 60 players playing CW. So really without solo player what would the state of CW be?

No guys! Get out! Run away from this blackhole of a thread, quickly.

Solo players playing as part of the team is great, welcomed, and encouraged!

Solo players playing as if they were in solo queue still are not. They are harming themselves and every other player there that want's to be part of a team.

The bolded part is the message to remember really. No one has issues with solo players as long as they try and not play selfishly.
Unfortunately what I see in CW is silence, non-co operative and selfish play. All it takes is to talk/type and try to work together to make each game 100% better.
Many people going into an online, multiplayer game and not wanting the multiplayer part....


No one is being "elitist" all they expect people to do is not be the silent selfish Bob of MWO:)

Just play in a 12 man group, you'll never play with solo players. #fixed

PGI lied to me...

I was told there was going to be community warfare, and it doesn't exist. Not when the game was released, not last week, not today, has NEVER happened.

SOLO PLAYERS SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO QUE FOR COMMUNITY WARFARE.

Ok you make some reasonable points but you also make massive sweeping generalisations.

I have yet to find a unit that suits my timezone that I really like after my previous unit disbanded 18 months ago which actually caused me to stop playing for a while. That said I have a large friends list & really enjoy playing co-operatively and have been using TS in this game long before integrated voice was added. So in my case you are tarring me with the "evil solo player brush" and attempting to block me from playing CW which I quite enjoy simply for not currently being part of a unit.

IMHO some of these issues could be addressed if CW could only be played by players with a drop loadout of purchased mechs not trial mechs, this would go a long way to addressing some of the really bad CW PUG drops we have all had.

Aside from that if you only want to play with a premade 12 man you can already do that in CW on yoru own terms without stopping players not in a unit from playing CW at all.

Today i had a pug dude in my team, with the 2 mechs he used in the match he made 5 assists and 11 (eleven!!) damage...

I wasnt even aware that this is possible.

Armando,

You are Frankenstein and this is your monster, do you not see what you have created? The villagers (Lone Wolves) will soon be at the doors of your Mechbay with pitch forks and Inferno rounds, carrying a dismembered Griffin leg as a battering ram and calling your name.

To my fellow Mechwarriors,

For the love of all the 'Mech gods, let this thread die. Do not fall into it's bewitching trap, it is too late for those of us caught here but please do not let our sacrifice be in vain. Tell your loved ones and comrades of our bravery and warn them of the monster that lurks within these pages, lest it be set free to terrorise the 'solo' players once again.

Fair well my friends, remember us and think fondly.

*exert from final entry of personal log; Colonel xXPUGXx, Praetorian Legion. 29th September 3051
All contact was lost with the Colonel after this date, reports suggest his 'Mech was consumed in a conflict against a horde of wildly pilotted 'noob green' BattleMechs. One witness heard a garbled radio transmission "The LURM's are real!!" before contact was lost.

hmmm.
this thread should die?
but this is so important!

[iLLcapitan]

CW is what got me back into the game and I dropped for 3 months alone in there. Half of the first day in trials.

This tread shouldn't die, but evolve to:
"Tier 5 solo players should never be allowed to drop in CW"

to tired of seeing ppl who try to snipe with Medium lasers on +600m, going rambo, or even need to fully stop before shoot.

Armando, on 09 August 2015 - 06:10 AM, said:

Yes, BANNING solo players would kill CW, period, no question.

Simple solution: Unitmembers are not allowed to use the single-queue.

Nice to see well reasoned posts in a well reasoned topic.
I do really appreciate this.

Keep this thread alive....

The hate is swelling in you now. Take your Autocannon. Use it. I am unarmed. Strike me down with it. Give in to your anger. With each passing moment you make yourself more my servant.
