Most terrible match structure ever. Srsly did you even reach out to your various league organizers to ask how things are done?

We could not imagine you will came up with such a bad rules set, competitive community had so much hopes for THE TOURNAMENT and now we got THIS. There were a rumors developers consulting actual comp. players and people who run community leagues, seems that was not the case, or you just ignored most of advices they possibly could give you.

Skirmish is the issue you all speak of I presume? Whether or not its an ERLL snipe fest will depend on the map.

Tonnage 1200?

That does seem a little high. I mean, 8 active mechs on a team...looks like we're getting super-heavy mechs in the near future.

Did anyone else check out the 'Support the Tournament' page?

I found this gem:



"The 10% XP Boost applies to every Game Mode in which XP can be earned.

Quick Play
•Assault
•Domination
•Skirmish

Faction Play
•Assault
•Domination
•Skirmish


So it looks like Faction Play is going to become a rebranding of quick play and Conquest is being dropped as a game mode.

I think it's the tonnage limit. How 8 players will fill up 1200 tons is beyond me, or is this confirmation of SUPERHEAVY battlemechs?

The Matar is the only one in timeline, but 8 Omega's would fill out 1200 tons nicely.

[oldhasu]

Skirmish 1200 tons. They did zero research on what modes / maps / tonnages are played in competitive environment nowdays. Not allowing players using their keyboards/mouses in the finals of FPS shooter game is beyond good and evil.

[Bud Crue]

Well, the tournament is certainly good news for the competitive crowd. I however, look at all of this from a more mundane perspective:

The "mechcon" announcement suggests that MWO will still be around by this December.

So that's good.

[TheSilken]

No mech restrictions hmm.......surely no one would dare to think about spamming certain mechs.............

Edit: Also the team leader gets all the money and is responsible for distribution? Hopefully everyone trusts their leaders.

Imagine the havock 8 Jenner IICs loaded with SRMs could do!

[Matt Newman]

Hey everyone! we are listening to constructive feedback and we are willing to adjust the gameplay rules!
I have personally spent hours talking with other league organizers to gather feedback on our gameplay rules, structure, maps and tonnage rules.
These things can and will be adjusted but I will gleefully skip past feedback that comes with a side serving vitriol.
I just don't need that kind of energy in my life right now (winky face)

Namaste.

[Captain Artemis]

I want that Atlas with double AC5 in the right arm!

[xSONOHx]

Noice

[aaykeem]

But seriously now, there should be some form of restricting mech choices across a team (by tonnage, or class, or something) so we don't end up with various spam decks.
