Last week, Russ foreshadowed a FP event this weekend.

Has there been any update on that from any source?

There's no announcement that I can find, and all that's on Russ's Twitter feed is about Bushwhackers.

It would be nice to have one last, fully populated hurrah before Russ and PGI gut and neuter Faction Play mk3 and turn it into Mercenary Play mk4.

I imagine the founders who donated money to PGI based on the promise of a fully realized Faction Play are severely disappointed that they're killing the factions off and handing it over to the pug farmers.

Having donated to the MWO Kickstarter must feel a lot like hand feeding a raccoon...

The event for last weekend was announced/posted on the website Friday afternoon... in Eastern USA timezone. I think. The math makes my head hurt .... there may be an event, it just isn't posted/announced/started yet.

Russ also mentioned wanting to do a faction play event this weekend on the ngngtv twitch update

Not really... Most have actually understood this long ago. Sure hope and all is nice but the playerbase was never big enough for proper faction play.

That will not stop people from pissing and moaning... As is their right.

On twitter he said it will start shortly. Well that was an hour ago so I guess the definition of "shortly" differs between person to person.

Couldn't care less. Good riddance, Faction Play. Biggest mistake PGI ever made, bar none.

Nah... IGP was the biggest.... Not having a proper PR plan was the second... I´d say FP comes on at around 3:rd or maybe fourth depending on how you view the clans.

Not participating, since the prizes are not worth it. I'll be Solo-Qing for fun, if I bother to log in.

Yea and what about us who does not have a guild?

Pretty much left out.

That's how i feel about this event anyway, left out.
I do enjoy doing these kind of challanges, but 2 weeks of something i can't be apart of unless i join a guild is kinda meh.
