A Deck game mode to be voted for in Quickplay, in addition to current modes like Skirmish, Assault...


That way we could get to use our decks from time to time actually, because lets face it, faction warfare as interesting as an experiment it is, it will never draw enough crowd to have decent wait times


Also it's a pain having to choose between Clan or IS, both have awesome mechs I'd want to pilot

Make their deck 240 tons, in case someone takes all Clan mechs


Linebacker, Warhammer, Mad IIC and a Locust, that's what I'd like to bring Posted Image

Counterproposal:
No mercenaries for clans.

As long as a deck mode is added I'd be ok with any other compromises

Counterpoint.

The minute you're down 6-0, any remaning mechs in your deck is pointless.

So you've effectively prolonged a bad match that you're not allowed to quit.

But that will further siphon off players from CW queue, should pug queue have access to 48 vs. 48. CW needs more players as is.

Lol, WAT?

FW has the best wait times it has ever had right now, and the mode is bringing some of the underperforming modes, like assault, to perform alot better and be more fun to play..

So in my eyes, this is a pure "do what i want, cose' I want it and I said so" thread..

You cray cray dude..

Well faction warfare could be absorbed in this mode and eliminated as a separate option entirely, then you'd have 1 bucket of players for all modes


Not arguing if wait times are worse or better, in QP they're amazing actually, I never experienced a longer than a minute wait in QP, but hey, the more people playing the merrier

It would basically get absorbed into QP, it wouldn't be as bad as it sounds



Though I realisticly do not expect it to ever happen, it's too much of a bold move to make especially when the game is doing fine as is


They have no reason to "shake things up"

Just play faction warfare as a merc and swap sides every week. It really doesn't have the wait times you think it does anymore. Main issue is just there being so many new players that anyone competent is going to have to carry a sack of potatoes while having a chance to drop against a well oiled unit.

Counterpoint to your counterpoint.

Let's have a "withdrawal" game mechanic in which the losing team calls for a dropship to pick them up.

It should actually be the opposite, especially given the fact that QP was supposed to only be a filler and not the main game mode.

OP You call yourself a Jade Falcon loyalist? True Falcon loyalists will never find them selves in the cockpits of filthy IS mechs.
