So just did a couple of drops with some of the folks with Coma....end result..we got decimated. **** Faction 4.1 and more importantly **** PGI.

No, it's loads of fun. Make a Clan alt or just bust your contract. Farm to 48 in 12 minutes with 1 wave. It's a license to print cbills. 99% of the IS teams are IS pugs,any newbies. The real problem is killing them all bedore any accidentally TK each other in rage and confusion.

They're not going to last, you need to get on this.

Don't worry. More units will flip to Clans now that being a loyalist is pointless, stomps will snowball and the pugs who've trickled in will flee. Then we're back to where we were!

"Loyalist is pointless"? Have you seen the amount of C-Bills you get from it?

[Tavious Grimm]

As fun as that may sound....I'll just do QP until HBS releases their game...then split. I'm done with this game really. Only thing I'll get from PGI is the new MW 5 if they don't **** that up...but I'm not holding my breath.

Maybe Clan loyalist now. In my Baby Seal alt accout I bought 3 EBJs and 3 SCRs, 2 ACH with cbills farmed using trials and the $20 KDK package, over maybe 40 matches, with enough cbills to outfit all 8 mechs.

All pugging btw.

Simply couldn't do something similar with IS. I'm in favor of staying merc though because balance may shift and you don't want pinned on the wrong side.

[graydc]

maybe it would be possible to fight a binary star(10clan MEchs) against 1 Companie(12Meks)

or a trinary star(15 Clan Mechs) against 2 KOmpanie...would be better balanced if a binary star fights vs a companie

Just what I wanted, to get the snot kicked out me on wide open maps by Clan mechs before I could get a shot off. I might as well sell off half of my goddamn...now mostly useless IS mechs and trade em in for Clan tech.

Well. everything wanted maps with "no chokepoints". I can still here the crying about the bad mapdesign. No u have maps with no chokepoints.

Be carefull what u wish for

Well I just did 3 IS drops with skirmish, skirmish, domination. We got crushed. The domination was a little closer because we could close range. Trying to fight 12 clan assaults on polar highlands is stupid.

Fighting 12 Clan Assaults on Polar is quite simple. Just stay in your base, ezpz

Been a KDK3 against a team that camped.

We stayed back, circled and farmed them out of it. Dakka or poke, the KDK3 dominates at 500m.

Anyone happen to take a screenshot of the entire map before the changeover?

You want to bet if we ever see Combat ID or Sat Sweep on IS side?

My money is on never

Spot on. Every match, 2hrs in - will mean Clan has Sweep - every timezone too I bet.

Wait till a FP event. It'll be done in 45mins.

I hate to say it - but it seems in less than 24hrs... What I thought would happen, has...

How do PGI not see these things? Oh, that's right, they don't understand the issues the mode has. I try to be positive but bugger me... This was ALWAYS going to happen. QP maps in FP... F**K ME...

The ironing is delicious isn't it? Without a choke, you can't get close.

I never really had an issue with the chokes in FP maps, particularly as IS. That is what made it essentially different to QP. Clan range advantage now is going to really hurt with the amount of open QP maps...

[Tavious Grimm]

I just replied in another thread, the current War Log has IS with 17 victories in 80 matches. This is not balanced. Not even remotely close.

[Evil Goof]

As of 8:40 out of 83 (does it only track 83 matches) currently IS is at 17 victories to the clans 66.... So far it doesn't look good.

[MischiefSC]

Look, it's not OP Clan tech doing this. It's a population issue. The tech advantage for Clans is very thin right now - speed synergy and the like helps and it's a bit easier to build a good Clan deck (if more expensive) but tech balance isn't too far off.

However units all went Clan because IS suicide pugs are terrible and relentless. They'll show up to lose 30 matches in a row, refusing to play with the team or change to better builds. Playing in IS is like playing with a lode stone around your neck and as such most units went Clan.

Now with the influx of QP casual pugs it's like tossing puppies into traffic. Nobody wants to play on the side that's clearly going to lose overall.

[justcallme A S H]

Speed & range clan side + IS xl vulnerabilty makes FP, something something once you add in QP and buckets of spuds.

GG Close PGI

[Kalleballe]

Buff IS up to pre rescale levels, problem solved.

Some fun bugs:

-The game thinks we are in quickplay and limits our tonnage for our first mechs.
-Can't drop with 11
-Many quirk changes not in the patch notes.

Add as you see fit.

- Faction Play tab causing game to lock up during the ceasefire, forcing you to restart.
- Dropships not dropping your mech, suddenly leaving you floating in space until the next drop 30 seconds later.
- Several players being kicked from the server drop after drop, resulting in higher "penalties" for "quitting" the match early.

My thoughts on the game at this moment:

Lots of folk went Clan to play with the new MADs...maybe when they are bored of them they will switch to I.S....BAHAAHAHAH....hahah..bored of the MAD2C .lol me.
However,one great thing about the change is getting to drop with/meet new people,I don't know..it just seems fresher to me

Except population has been skewed for months prior to its release.

[McHoshi]

Yeah give IS more tonnage in Scout Mode please!
