I'd love to see PGI overhaul the the front end for matches with more sophisticated filters the option outside of private lobbies to queue up for "Stock" queues. I realise that stock queues would require a fair bit of work by PGI but I personally feel as though it would add a good bit of flavour to the game and potentially offer a more attractive option for newer players to level their newly purchased mechs.

On a slightly unrelated note has consideration been given by the OP to move over to a Discord server dedicated to organising stock matches? Discord offers many advantages over TeamSpeak in my opinion due to it's chat lobby system. Just a thought.

Hopefully I can get in on some Stock Matches once I have a bit more free time, till then happy hunting.

I didn't considerate that (really have not much time to do it), but I offer this topic for everyone organizing stock matches.

i want a stock que!

Also would be on board for a stock queue, I'm thinking they could make it happen by dropping the tier matchmaking, maybe even dropping it down to 8v8.

Stockmech Que would be nice.

[G4LV4TR0N]

Makes me want a Stock mode pub queue

PGI stock mech events?

Pub Queue would be great too. But at least a stock mech event.

PGI definitely should implement something like recruiting in-game chat channel (like in Warframe) so people can gather for stock runs without the whole new queue. Lots of people just don't even know about stock mode and they definitely won't bother themselves looking for group on forums just to try it.

That's a great suggestion.

I'd love this mode, really i would. I used to play a stock league of mech commander back in the day, loved it.
Felt more authentic (lore wise?) i dont know. But i do miss that

The AJSA is definitely interested in giving this a try. Lemme know if you wish to arrange a match. We are a mixed-skill group, so no promises.

I will talk with my guys and see what we can do.

One of these days my main account will make it back to these.

Biggest problem is internet issues on my side though.

[G4LV4TR0N]

There should be some cheap quirkless stock mode league ongoing, similar to Star League or MRBC. I wouldn't mind it being Clans vs IS with mech restrictions based on specific game era. Finally we could play 3050 Clan Invasion like it was!

I'm doing it this Monday!! Now I can play that Lrm atlas loud and proud

[Jiang Wei]

Where is this mode? I do not see it in my game.

[Mechwarrior4670152]

I did not see it mentioned anywhere, but how has the engine decoupling effected this?

It technically isn't

This is purely player run at this point.

I guess not much.
