I must be the only person who thinks all of this is stupid garbage ONLY done to prevent people from farming 'free' mechbays.

As a solo player I have no way to earn bays unless I join a faction by myself as a loyalist and get screwed over by having to playh 12 games or more to get a single mech bay, or I have to somehow find a merc group to join which sounds crappy too and I have no idea how any of that works and they have different earnings and tiers.

WE STILL CANNOT ALTER OUR DROP DECK IN THE MAIN PAGE WHY???!?!?!??

Where is an all chat so people and try and group up ? As a freelance pilot you can't click on anything to alter your drop deck and I have seen only 2 pilots at the most go into que with me and immediately leave within 5 seconds or less.

This sounded like it was going to make matches happen faster and balance things out but so far I'm sitting here wishing for the other method so I could get pub stomped hard once or twice so I could get the mechbay I was about to unlock.

Yes I was referring to playing solo. I dont see a reason for not signing up for a random faction and taking the rewards when playing solo.

Not enough of an incentive for me to do so. You need a lot of LP to start seeing the rewards. And I have a lot of mech bays sitting empty since I purge my mastered IS as I go (only way I could afford new Mechs for a long time). Think I have 25 mechs and 64 mech bays right now. Obviously I am a unique case.
Anyway as a casual player I don't see enough incentive to make me stop playing quick play games.

Okay, so re-reading it does appear there is one sliver here ... solo loyalists ... may accumulate loyalty points same as unit loyalists if I read it correctly. SO you could be potentially enticed to try FW as a solo player IF you are willing to hang your hat on a particular faction. Downside is, all your mates have to agree on the faction to pledge to if you want to group up for FW (which also has the downside of ending up right back in the pre-made queue thus eliminating the whole separation benefits...)

I want all this to work, so I'll keep an open mind the next few weeks, but I'm not filled with unicorn tears and joy just yet....

Pay for them with real cash, which is how PGI makes their money on this game?

[3rdstorm]

Looks pretty cool. Tho I have to admit most of the faction play stuff went over my head. Hoping someone makes a concise TLDR video on that part. I might have to get more into that mode but no clue where to start.

Pretty sure im gonna pick up the Tournament Support pack because I like to support esports.

Thanks PGI

What the HELL PGI???
I dont know, if I understood correctly, only those units can gain MC who own a planet... But what about the smaller units, who really make efforts? Ive had a few matches since the patch, its terrible. The large units' members barely do 1000 damage in a match, me and my bf have a unit, only 2 members, and we usually do more than 1500-2000 dmg, and we receive nothing? Lmao. So we're working now for huge units, like MS and 228, etc. Funny.
Also, the new images-drawings, whatever you call them, they look like child drawings, seriously, I miss the previous stuff.
These are wrong on so many levels.

Edit: I did not see the new drop deck tons in the patch notes, cooool, so the clans have only 240 tons again... Next time pls let us pilot only 1 mech...

Seriously, remove the torso yaw quirk from a mech that only has torso hardpoints? Why not remove the Spider 5V from the game completely as it is now all but useless.

What, if at all, where you thinking PGI?

Really, tried in just the last match: As soon as you're far away to actually shoot a UAV, it's out of even the extended range of medium lasers (non-pulse! and with modules). This is ridiculous!

Patch is up for an Hour and only Complaints on the Forums, seriously ? I mean you can be constructive with your Criticism and that is a good Thing then, but this constant Whining is getting pretty annoying.

Hey Community ! Stop whining and play more

Ya'll screwed up the scouting. You need to lower the tonnage. Right now I'm seeing nothing but ssrm crows.

I definitely saw this coming.

bring ECM mechs. poor ******** won't even be able to fire. also, it's a SCOUTING mission. just outrun them and cap the points. game over, they lose.

Who the hell runs a streak boat without BAP? a 50 kph difference between a crow going 105 and a *really* fast light going 155 takes a lot longer to outrun than you'd think.

Sorry if it does not take me as long to spot the most obvious faults. Of maybe I shouldn't be sorry but thankful. Anyway.

Why you nerf my Nova legs?

The structure buffs got moved to the CT, I believe you'll find the leg buffs there. They did this with a lot of the omni pod structure buffs.

Really cool, PGI. I think FW just became my default game mode...

Russ expressed they see the game still running/improving in 7 years.

Great. Is there any word on what they are planning next? I know they talk about it it town halls, but..... I dont want to watch them.

I have insufficient time..... gotta buy more time before I can go down that road

Might be a good idea to clear out the lists of inactives then to keep the costs down. I can see donations being needed when entering a bigger unit though.

The Praetorian Legion have already been doing they for the last 2 months. And its ongoing.

- Drop weight was changed from 260t... So now i cant take in CW battle my 3 heavy timbers and one light. SO i need to quit from CW untill i get enough c-bill for buing and mastering new mech for drop... That's... some kind sad. Or I need to take only trial mech... but being in unit - it not good because I can't help my unit with base builds of trial mech... That changing was a not nice surprise for me...

Sorry Im not understanding you point. You don't have to sign on with a faction. If you want to be a loyalty player, then yes you do. Other wise, just sign a 7 day merc contract. Am I missing somthing?

This will help you comprehend where I am coming from... http://mwomercs.com/...r-corps-and-cw/

[Odanan]

I have a question: what about the loyalty points reset on the patch notes?
If my unit takes a mercenary contract now and in 2 weeks becomes a loyalist, do we lose loyalty points?

[MechWarrior319348]

Well it sounds like you guys dont wanna play CW..... guess that means you'll be coming back to standard queue with us right?
we could use the population.

[MoonShaman]

Firstly, Scoting is AMAZING- except, the fact the tonnage is 55 tons which means Clan bring Stormcrows, and IS can't beat them, not with the way you have it. So far as IS I've won twice our of 10 matches.

Also the new Carrer paths are... well poo.

I also feel that the Scoting maps are actually bit too big, at least with only 4 mech teams.
