Steiner Map Why The Paywall?

So what you guys think? Should it remain nessessary to have two people with prime time to play the map or should it be a free map?
(Note: Not a Quickplay map just a private match map without the premium time need)
Also on a side note...you can't start the game with two people, one in each team because you don't have a "full team"?
Why is it still asking for 2x12 people if its a 1v1 map.

Need 2 people with premium to be able to switch that setting to not requiring full teams. It's stupid. Makes it almost impossible for me to get honor duels with people.

You're still on for that nova prime stock duel. ;l
But yes, I would rather see a perpetual set of lobbies with spectating and cycling 1v1s from the spectators, and an AFK timer + auto kick when not dueling and you've been hogging space in the server for too long. That way anyone can go enjoy it and PGI only pays for a few servers rther than a server every time a 1v1 is set up.

That is basically how it works, and why premium time is required. Private matches are hosted on a separate server that isn't running matchmade games, and the premium toll pays for it. If you want the servers to run special custom game setups for you and your friends, this doesn't seem like an unreasonable cost.

PGI is simply double dipping on a subscription service by forcing two people to pay to launch 1 match. There is just no way that you need two people paying for premium time to cover the added server costs of a few extra games per month.

You fought well, but the outcome of our battles show that I still remain king of the lore builds. Now go, spread the word of my triumph!

Indeed, but there are some other lore fits I could manage. The death box hunchback IIC, for example..

Actually, considering only they have the #'s I'd argue that might not be true.
They actually need to force double the prem-time users to justify the expense based on our small playerbase.

There is not enough premium only content in this game imo. There is plenty for the play4free bus w@nkers to do, subsidised by the paying players I might add.
I'd make forum access a premium feature. That's another way of saying make whining and feeling entitled a premium privilege.

I've used this gif before this year, but screw it, it's the most fitting. Locking the forums behind premium? That is actually the dumbest idea I've heard all month. And that's saying a lot, considering I keep up to date with politics in the U.S.

but i have no problem with pgi restricting players to a number of duals you can play per day. i think maybe 5 is a good number. if you want to play more than 5 duals a day fine then buy a block of premium time or maybe 5 mc per game. you could also sell arena passes. but i would expect this to come with a lobby so duelers can queue up and not have to seek eachother out. pgi could even turn a profit.
