So the last discussions about this are fairly old and the roadmap (on reddit) shows Phase 3 for October..

What can we expect for CW Phase 3?
What are confirmed contents of the update? Will we actually be abled to use the bazilions of C-Bills in the unit coffers?

[MoonUnitBeta]

Confirmed... yeaaaah... spending C-bills seems to be all that there is at the moment... lol

This is an ancient post, and we all know what PGI's position was at the time... but for what it's worth......

We are not actually implementing the logistics at this time (maybe in Phase 3) but the cost of operations will be present in Phase 2.

How will the 'Mech restriction be handled in Phase 2? Will we see even more restricted 'Mech selections on certain planets/scenarios? How about weight restrictions for some planets like MPBT3025?
As mentioned, the only real 'Mech restriction in Phase 2 is Clan players play Clan 'Mechs and IS players play IS 'Mechs. Additional restrictions that align to specific battles/play modes/era specific battles etc will be considered for Phase 3 CW.

Yea but on what? Are "Logistics", whatever that means, still in the patch?

Phase 3 is when they change the 2 to a 3. Much like when they added a 2 to the beta tag.

Don't expect anything more than that and it's possible you might get more than you expected.

[LordNothing]

here is my prediction of the cw phase 3 changelog:

increased number of beacons durring a ghost drop from 3 to 4, some players thought the mode was too easy.
dropship weapons upgraded to erppcs
turret weapons upgraded to gauss rifles
size of opening on generator cages reduced 5%
more planets!

It's been well over 100 days without a content patch / reset of the faction map... But you're probably right

You forgot double the amount of nodes to capture, but almost spot on.

I don't think anyone knows at this point.
Since we aren't actually flying around in a drop ship, and adding a "travel time" to the already excruciating wait times in CW then my guess is you click on planet, you pay a fee from your coffer to queue on the planet, or it gets extracted upon successfully finding a match.
No idea how that's going to work with wait times, party size, unit size, being in a unit vs not... I have a feeling PGI is having a real humdinger with that.

i was just thinking that, lol

The only thing that has me even mildly interested is the 4v4 because it's quite likely it won't be on the terrible CW maps. That's if they didn't decide to scrap the idea for the same reason they scrapped letting us have smaller matches - their server setup can't handle all the extra map instances.

[Alistair Winter]

Unless it's 4v4 or PVE, I don't care. They can reset the map ten times in ten days, they can add another set of armoured doors in front of the O-gens, they can make O-gens that you have to destroy in order to destroy the O-gens (yo dawg, I herd u like O-gens) or they can add some kind of 30,000 C-bill dropship fee (ermahgerd, lergistics!), and it won't matter one iota.

I'm not playing Invasion mode again unless they completely redesign it.

Considering they needed 4 years for CW, this won't happen

[LordNothing]

i have nothing against the invasion mode itself. it can be fun even on a stomp. what i dont like is that damn map screen that does more to block games from forming than to get them going. move the mode to the quick play button and freeze the map until its fixed.

Yep, I know. That's why I'm waiting for 4v4

CW 3 is a waste of time (at the moment), and before you grab your pitch fork let me explain.

Until the game can focus on creating a place for new users to learn at thier leisure and take a break from pvp (single player/coop campaign) CW should be on the back burner.

you missed one!

For every new square taken on a planet all of the occupied squares must go through one complete counter attack cycle, where all squares are successfully defended, before a new, unoccupied square, becomes available for attack. Should one of the counterattacks be successful then all occupied territories must go through another full counter-attack cycle before an attackable square will open.

[sycocys]

That actually sounds like PGI's programming Neb.

Neither will I. They would have to completely redo it from scratch preferably along the lines of the old LL conquest maps to even warrant my interest again, and since that's never going to happen...

[sycocys]

Probably should get your CW in before phase 3 then =P
