I don't have a solid ETA just yet on when it'll arrive, but I've followed up on a feature request for toggling the Call To Arms notifications.

I wish that PGI could program an on and off toggle for those "Call To Arms" pop up messages.

I play on a 1080p screen and these never bothered me.....and then I had the opportunity to play MWO on a glorious 720p screen. Good god they are annoying and huge. I feel for all the people that hate these popups, I finally understand why. There should be a toggle, period. (There are a LOT of toggles that should be in this game, come to think of it)

Hot fix seems to have broken MWO for those using TWC.

I wasn't. It made many matches rather lopsided. Imagine being the only one to reconnect in your team, only to find the whole enemy team reconnected. 12-on-1 execution, much?

Really i was joking about this. i have been lucky only happen to me twice. First time 6 of the enemy (most of them were Kodiaks )
the second time it happen i got lucky and 2 vs 2. made a deal to attack the DC before we attacked each other.

Your May 25 Hot Fix did not fix anything. In fact, it made the PUG disconnection problem worse. I can't even get into a public match and the auto-penalty system is penalizing me for early disconnection, when in fact I could not even connect to a match for 4 STRAIGHT TIMES!!!

Hotfix for broken search function on forums?

[sniperjack]

This fixed nothing for me. Since the previous Patch i cannot connect to the mechlab or access window.
Message: Failed to initialize. Repair tool no help and seeting dx drivers no help too
Looks like i
I'm out.

I was also having problems a short while ago between 17:30 to 19:00 Pacific DayLight Time here. Hasn't recurred yet, but it totally knocked me off both the game and the website. Currently on Frontier Communications' network. I did do a traceroute however, and it told me somebody was messing with the routers at the USA/Canada border. Internet connections were breaking down up there. At least it isn't recurring right now.

Thought this was a feature and liked it. Don't wanna mess with FP unless I click on it.

Call to arms are needed, CW is very empty again.
Was boring as anything to keep our planet.
PGI thx for removin the features you implemented with the monthly patch.

FP is empty for a reason. C2A only annoys people, and frustates those who accidentally click on it.
PGI should fix FP in itself, not try and lure more people there with out the game mode warranting it.

After the HotFix, I'm no longer seeing any CTA pop-ups here. Doesn't matter if I have a Contract or not. Would be nice to have a slider to switch it between 'Off' and a limit of up to 5 alerts at a time.

Guessing player population is too low, ever since "Faction Warfare, Phase 3" began. Add programming issues to it, and the game is totally set to fall apart. Unless PGI switches the in-game Contracting back to "FW, Phase 2", or uses that basic blueprint I made on the "2016-04-28 HotFix" thread to not totally step backward, but increase how inviting the game is, then I don't see MWO surviving even for a few years. That's let alone Russ Bullock's idea of "7 Years", or even my idea of "a minimum of 25 Years or longer", which MWO really should have been designed to last for. MWO could have had the potential to be a game that no less than 5 generations of new players down the road could have enjoyed, preferably more, and PGI seems to have totally lost sight of making things enjoyable. Don't they understand the phrase "If you build it right, then it will grow on its' own.", or are they just stuck on a 'cash grab' in the short term, without sight towards longer???

Shoving "come join as a solo so elite 12 man team have someone to stomp" messages in peoples face only makes them more annoyed at the mode.

That. And 100% agree on a toggle.

Thanks for bringing it into the discussion. How about putting the toggle on the FW tab as well? That means that a player has to be interested in FW enough to click on the tab and then gets to decide if they like it enough to have continuous notifications while they do other things. Please at least have the toggle reliably remember how we last set it. You got this, PGI *pound it*

[Tarogato]

+1 on the "bug is better as feature" in regards to the call to arms. I really don't like call to arms, I prefer not to use it when I'm playing CW and I prefer to have them not appear at all when I'm not playing CW.

[The Basilisk]

Did you ....*fix* the Kodiak ?
Because there is not any game anymore i reach more than 200dmg cause I die the moment I try to shoot at any enemy.
Its like i got no armor equiped ....?!?

[Crux7]

Call to arms didn't really bother me either, but I did think it was designed to not show up.

[The Basilisk]

No realy guys this isn't funny its like there is no armor on my mech even a f****** commando two hitted me head on while beeing fresh out of dropship

**edited for clarity**
I'm not going to drop the git gud on you, but will simply point out that some of my unit members are pulling 1k plus matches in the KDK with regularity in solo/group que, most are T2-3.

KDK's are up there on kill order for obvious reasons so you're probably getting focused pretty hard.

Oh, and they're pretty quick so can outdistance their fellow assaults. I find many KDK's off on their own not left behind but wandered off.

also, we don't even know what mode you're playing in or tier. So many variables. The KDK ain't bad. It isn't crazy OP either. just a good opponent for us freebirth scum, lol.
