You mean QP 2.0?

Just brutal. PGI GIVE US SOME VARIETY! Anything now please.

Mix up the drop deck tonnage, an event, move the domination circles ...Just anything new now.

And this Val Day event is 100% hate. Val Day is about love. Some one clearly hates this game to post an event so full of suck.

I like the quick play maps. But I do wish we only had 2 maybe 3 mechs for them.

I like it.

I just wish we had matchmaking based on group size, so the large groups could compete against each other instead of farming.

Its a good, working, skeleton of what would be fun in the future. It met its goals in that respect.

It works. Thats what it was meant to do. Now they can start throwing in better stuff.

Which is why im a little unhappy the last roundtable was solely focused on gameplay fixes, instead of new cool things.

It's quick play. End of. Any promises of what could be, can't because of the player base.

Incorrect. In fact Mesmer was bored today. I witnessed it. Therefore it can not be dismissed as opinion.

I grow weary of fighting the same line up of meta mechs over and over again. Would prefer to see varying drop deck tonnage per planet, so it's not always a stack of as many heavies you can cram into your deck as possible.

well, we got people who seem to think they have the only builds everyone should bring and have been saying the same thing for years. So I am not surprised people tend to run the same things over and over.

I bring urbies, wubthers, splatsman, all kinds of wonky shut to FP. Keeps it interesting. Plus, every time I machine/pulse a mech to death in an urbie I can say, "you have been URBINATED."

It may be a fact that Mesmer believes that CW is boring and you witnessed him being bored, but it is still an opinion that he holds and you witnessing it doesn't make that opinion a fact. Nothing that Blood Wolf said was actually incorrect. I don't believe that he was dismissing it either, he was simply pointing out that Mesmer's belief that CW is boring is an opinion....not exactly something that needed pointing out though as I would have thought that it would be apparent to anyone reading it that it was Mesmer's opinion rather than a statement of fact.

Whether something is boring is by definition all about opinion, just like all other value statements. Good and bad etc.

A game is good if people think it's good, a game or gamemode is boring if people thing it's boring. Are you bored with FP? If yes then FP is boring, that's what boring means.

All generalisations of boring, good, bad etc are just a matter of many people having the same opinion.

The new skill tree is bad because most players who test it have that opinion.

Skirmish is a badly designed mode for FP becaue...I along with enough other players to be normative say it is.

Opinions are not to be dismissed, they are the only form of measuring value that exists.

Take money for example, they have value only because of a common opinion/agreement that they do, and the whole world is run off of that agreement.

quickplay is better in every way now.

You can pick any Mech you want
You can have balanced drop deck tonnage
Matchmaker attempts to equalize the skill
And you can get out of stupid *** Conquest matches earlier

You are never going to get that faction map anyway
