Only 150 people are plaing CW. What happened?

[FupDup]

That's more than I expected.

[Deathlike]

I was gonna play.

Then I saw the queues.

I went back to solo pugging to grind out the Urbies.

We asked for it.

We could have had another game mode added to the current group and solo queue but we're dumb.

For one, the Oceanic challenge doesn't apply to CW, so if people are trying to grind out those last few points, they won't be playing CW.

For two, people are probably realizing that CW is very much beta, and very much incomplete. And very bad for pugs.

Well i don't know about you guys but my CW map is offset so trying to figure out what planet to attack is annoying. Also my unit is Inner Sphere right now and i care nothing for them. When we go back clans i'll start CW up again.

There is no real point in CW - PGI failed to understand why the houses raid each other and the importance of salvage.

[Impyrium]

No reason to play CW. It's not interesting to actually play for either groups of solos, the game mode is less interesting than skirmish and has less depth involved, the rewards are boring and not worth your time, and the planetary map, while it had potential, has ultimately been left to be static and meaningless.

'Ha ha ha' is me remembering back to when I legitimately believed CW was going to provide that 'hardcore' MechWarrior experience...

When planets give rewards other than bragging rights, ill drop CW.

Don't forget the mechbay or two and the standing item or two...the draw of these rewards is pretty obvious >_<

When they drop the beta tag Ill drop in their gamemode. We'e already had enough beta ******** in this game

[meteorol]

150?

That's easily twice as much as i have seen during last days.

[TwentyOne]

Why is this game becoming so unpopular. It is literally better in all ways than it was in open beta or even a few months ago.

I don't really think the game is becoming unpopular. CW was always a niche feature, used by a negligible part of the playerbase from the beginning. After the first shiny wore of, it was pretty much empty all the time.

Like Mete said, it's not shiny new anymore. It's just another game mode that has really long que times. CW can be fun when you get the better maps and you don't have to wait forever or ghost drop, but ghost drops and long waits are the norm. Until ppl have a reason to care, no one is gonna play it. If only CW were to live up to it's potential..... /sigh.

They may as well remove the whole planetary thing and just call it an extended 12 vs. 12 assault match. Throw in a Top 3 or 5 Factions and Top 3 or 5 Units in each faction with scores, reward those at the end of the Season. I think it'd be more on the scope of what PGI is capable of.

[anonymous161]

Because the game isn't new anymore people are moving on. Sure they have done some things with it but personally not nearly enough to make this a notable game in the community as a whole.

Without single player this franchise will never rise above what it was over a decade ago.

[Speedy Plysitkos]

150 ? no, i dont believe its that much.
