I really want this so I can win.

because



In serious ness I am just tired of bad team mates or bad drop callers. I know I can't call a match to save my life so I don't. I also get a lot of friendly fire or friendlies doing stupid crap like face hugging the enemy. Yes that is right at tier 2 I still see it when I see tier 1 players who do it as well ... . So I really really want this to be the next big upgrade for the game please PGI. Since CW3 is coming out in April can this be the next big thing!?!?! PRETTY PLEASE!!!

For better discussion.

Solaris in my opinion would just be more fun for me because while there may be trash talking between a 1 vs 1 you will not longer having dead team members or others cussing up a storm and making it toxic while you are trying to play.

Solaris also brings in leader boards so if you like bragging rights (I do) then you can do that as well.

Solaris can be that thing you can do other than pugging in solo que which as I stated earlier has and can turn very toxic.

No one cares about solaris ...

[TyphonCh]

They already have the maps set up to try out in private matches. So it's inevitable. It'll come eventually
I wouldn't say nobody cares... But I'd imagine it's popularity will be around the same as CW. I want bots before Solaris.

The entire game already is Solaris. Tiny arena maps stuffed with robots.

[Wolfways]

Coming soon....mini arenas!!!!

Get your light mechs ready as they're the only mechs that will fit in the arena!

Solaris could add so much to this game that others just can't do.

A spectator section with their own chat and maybe a betting of CBills tied into how the match will go.

So much depth so easy and so much fun.

[Triordinant]

Solaris 1 vs 1 would be great.

[Screech]

Unfortunately Solaris mode works best in theory. In practice is dies on the vine in under 2 weeks. Its is gaming equivalent of Communism.

And then I get banned when I figure out that if I have my buddies in the arena with me, and my other buddies in the stands making bets based on the fact they we're going to be working together, and then suicide to make sure the right guy wins for maximum c-bills. Then I'll get arrested by the MBI who will send me off to a Steiner run prison (cuz you know they'd totally be the guys to run the prison-industrial complex) where some 8 foot tall Elemental washout will tell me I have a purdy mouth.

Please don't do that to me!

I think OP would be happy for either free-for-all, or 1v1 like Tri said. Just another game mode where you can earn CBills and XP. But one where the outcome of the battle is completely under your control, not dependent on who MM decided should be on your team.

Solaris would be a bit much to implement when you consider putting in safety catches to prevent what Xavori mentioned and other betting exploits.

Edit: Note that free-for-all can be exploited by sync dropping teams. Seen it happen a number of times in MW4 where similar colored mechs would not fire on each other, but gang up on others until all but them were dead.

Would be interesting to see. I hope it would be divided into weight classes, otherwise you will just see Timberwolves nonstop. If the population was high enough it would be cool to see by chassis comp, but we are nowhere near the required numbers.

1 vs. 1? You're not thinking big enough. It should be a no-holds-barred last-man-standing winner-takes-all 24+ furball.

But its TEAM solarais. I want all vs all. Survival of the fittest, grand prizes and up to 24 players duking it out.

Playlist could be lights only, mediums only, heavys only, assaults only or all (classes of mechs) in

All vs all I say! I dont want private matches to be the only frigging place where to go all on all or 1 vs 1. So we can have some break from teaming up all the time and have ONLY ourself to rely on and that might even make us more rock solid as a pilot (with team work in mind of course) when helping out in the ol' classic team games in the pug que or cw.

Its very tempting to go ballistics about politics after that statement. Dont you forget then it would be "communism" in a Capitalistic marketed game. Just short without derailing the thread.
Think China. pff communism, yeah right. Thanks to greed, corruption and lack of restraint its just in the name and chatter. It have turned into a much more free market, ultra capitalistic, consumerism state. (as far as I know)

I want to see a betting system put in place, with a C-Bill entry fee to compete in Solaris.

Have a couple entry levels, something like this:

Tier 5 - 50,000 cb Entry Fee / Kill Reward
Tier 4 - 75,000 cb Entry Fee / Kill Reward
Tier 3 - 100,000 cb Entry Fee / Kill Reward
Tier 2 - 125,000 cb Entry Fee / Kill Reward
Tier 1 - 150,000 cb Entry Fee / Kill Reward
