PGI need to fix their current broken game mode (CW) first, before coming up with more broken game modes.

I have friends who would love to play but are not fans of PvP.

A nice PvE mode would be fantastic!

Of course that also depends on what the PGI can feasibly do. Biggest part is coding A.I. mechs. If they can come up with missions, which means scripting events, then you can do some real fun things besides horde mode.

[TheArisen]

So far PvE is dominating with a total of 106 votes between it's two slots.

Solaris & fixing FP are tied at 50.

[DiabetesOverlord Wilford Brimley]

To anyonethinking CW is fixable at this point please keep this in mind. CW failed because units farmed potatoes to maximize profits. This will never be able to change because let's face it people don't just get good. CW will only be viable when and AI unit can join the match when there is no one to drop against. Before you start to claim potatos are better than AI. Please go start a new account and visit Tier 5.

So by moving on and making PVE and adding revenue streams to the game other than mech packs. You become one step closer to fixing CW, and you get to add a safe place for new users to learn MWO while being taught about BT lore.

Cute poll, but you're about six months too late.

PGI has probably been planning their "big reveal" for MechCon for at least that long.

If your poll matches the announcement, it's pure coincidence.

I say only PVE, focus on it, and get some out. Solaris is basically skirmish mode now........basically, just shoot em up robots.....

PVE, yeah, needs some of that. Lets just hope it doesnt become bland, boring and lame like AW. Stagnating and never reaching its full potential.

You can still make a far more entertaining gamemode in FW. That is why it failed. Invasion sucks. And I'd rather not see design resources taken away from fixing it.

Don't distort the causes of FW's failure to further your PvE agenda.

Solaris is just arena combat in another set of clothes

Give us PVE missions!

Co-Op.

Your old arena combat and monetize the avatars model is fast peetering out. Every game under the sun did it and ran it into the ground. Move beyond or shut down.

This is 2016 for craps sake.

You have CW quit hogging the resources trying to force all of us to play your game mode no one cares to play!

Not true PGI already stated in NGNGtv podcast at 150 @17:15 they haven't decided on the next big thing.

[TheSteelRhino]

Faction Warfare Fix. In fact I cannot believe they haven't already been working on that?
then PVE, then solaris.

But fix what we've paid for already.

I'd imagine Pgi has been working on what to do with FP. Personally I hope 2017 brings something new to MWO.

[Sunstruck]

Fix CW then Solaris mode would be my vote.

I don't WANT to play that crummy gamemode. I want them to change it, give us a better one. That takes resources.

Also, punctuate better. You look fifteen.

They are fixing it for you fam! They are removing all the buckets!

...and finally moving on to better things. The people have spoken PVE is the clear winner!

You got that right and those units farming faction play and driving as many players out as they could were running lag shield cheats half the time to do it.

Now the same unit players that trolled faction play into the ground are on the forums saying faction play should be scrapped.

Frustrating to say the least.

Don't get me started on how trolling has effected the group queue players and small 2 man group players, I can only imagine. Trolling in quick play regular queue for the last year has been at times BRUTAL as well.

[TheArisen]

So far PvE has a pretty strong lead but the ppl that want CW fixed are gaining ground.

Solaris is losing ground, likely due to Russ saying it'd require a new engine.

[TheArisen]

Fix FP has gained ground while PvE has stagnated. Pve still has a large lead though.

[Kuaron]

By by PVE. We get MW5 now and will have to buy it for new money. After poor little PGI didn't even have enough income to get MWO right.

[projecteulogy]

I complained about there not being PVE a LONG time before MWO ever went over to Steam. So, yeah. This would be a good idea. Another place to earn some Cbills and Xp. Maybe some of us are super lazy(No. Never...) and want to play the LORE instead of reading about it on a website or one of them old fashioned books. Also, another place to get used to my Mech in a live fire environment that would be somewhat forgiving. Even allow players to team up with each other. And allow hot dropping into games of those players you are friends with.

Solaris would be great. 4 different weight classes. After 10 minutes if only X number of players joined the queue, it would fill up with AI players set to the average skill tier of the current players. Then, every weekend hold a championship day, where you could take any weight limit. Cbill/Xp bonus would be huge for players not taking assault/heavy mechs.

Give us something to do besides Quickplay where there's sometimes a language barrier AND a comprehension barrier(ie: 3 people split off and its 9v12 or 3v12 and that team is gonna lose 90% of the time). Maybe i just want to blow off some steam on the Campaign. A lot of the time... I'll get bored of MWO, and play one of my classic mech games I have installed, just for some lore/story feel.

I also have to agree with those talking about getting farmed in Faction Play.... Maybe my hours are wonky and my drop times include 5 of my guys and 6 pugs against a 12 man. Don't even get me started on people who abuse bugs. Then you get guys who troll on new accounts and TK/Leg you in quickplay AND faction play..

As much money as people pay for the mechs..... You mean you folks wouldn't pay 10$ for a DLC? As someone who doesn't really pay(Except for the Steam Light Pack, that was money well spent tbh. <3 my cheeter) to play the game... I'd buy that DLC even if i was so poor I overdrafted.. because lets face it. Up to now, graphically, its the most beautiful Mech game out.

Ha. Even create a Steam Workshop for players to create missions... charge for that.... There you go PGI, I just gave you a cash crop idea. Enjoy.

[TheArisen]

We got both so I'm not sure why people are still voting in this poll.
