Yes.

They can design an event that doesn't bring out LT, which rarely happens now because no one plays scouting mode.

They can, But to date, they've done nothing.

It would be really nice to see an invasion only event. Given that factions will always end up unbalanced means an inclusion of scouting in a CW event means Long Tom will eventually be active.

Since we haven't had any follow up to the faction play round table it's hard to judge if PGI is just laying low till they finish working on something or if they genuinely didn't like the feedback they got and just hope the community forgets that this was suppose to be an ongoing discussion

Good idea. These 228 guys are solution minded. They should be in charge of the universe.

You can if you're in a group. Perhaps that's not a bad thing since PUGing in FW is all kinds of purgatory.

Doesn't always work, unsurprisingly.

Yes. We need a FP event.

Wasn't LT nerfed into the ground a couple patches ago?
Seriously, these quickplay carebears need to get a grip.

Working as intended.

Huh?

I think you missed the memo: LT was then "accidentally" buffed to UbEr-Long T and THEN nerfed to only slightly more powerful than it originally was.

However the power of the weapon was never the issue as far as I'm concerned, it is the autonomous (is that a word?) nature and the fact it basically "steals" damage/kills and therefore CBills/XP from the players. I play to have fun and on test my mettle against a real-life opponent, not to have some automated system kill me or them and ruin that fun.

To be fair, while this video was only posted yesterday, the footage is much older, the minimap still shows the old dorito direction markers.

Long Tom still uses the exact same targeting system as when it was first added so it's still very possible to use\abuse it in this exact same way. Last I heard it can still do 100+ damage per component in the ~20m kill radius then has a linear falloff out to about 300m.

In all seriousness, without removing LT another FW event could kill the remaining, battered population of FW.

Plus we get to listen to everyone whine that there is an Event on a Holiday weekend, again.

Can it really be considered a "Hot" fix if it takes them two weeks to cook it up?
