If we're advancing the time line to 3068...

Smoke Jaguar was virtually wiped out in 3060. There was no "nation" of Smoke Jaguar to control territory in 3068. So, are they going to be removed from the game and replaced with a different clan?

Also, will we have the Ghost Bear Dominion instead of Ghost Bear and Rasalhague?

Or, probably the more obvious answer, the timeline jump is just a way to add new mechs and weapons to the game...

[Black Ivan]

IMO that is something PGI has yet to announce. The 3068 IS map looks very different from 3052

[Monkey Lover]

Risk loyalist quiting? It's never going to happen.

[R Valentine]

Rename Fidelis. Dark Age here we come!

[Pyed]

3067 not 3068, and "good riddance".

[TLBFestus]

Not to worry, Paul and Russ will work their usual magic on Smoke Jaguar!

That's actually a Dropship next to the kitten....

Replace them with Sparkle Kitty's...I mean Nova Cat?

[El Bandito]

PGI will come up with an alternate universe, where the Jags are still alive and kicking.

[Metus regem]

It's a good question, as in 3068 the board looks a lot different...

In that era you get:

A.R.D.C. (Arc Royal Defense Concordat)
Wolf in Exile
Clan Wolf
Clan Jade Falcon
The Ghost Bear Dominion
Lyran Alliance
Federated Suns
Draconis Combine
Capellan Confederation
Free Words League (Home of the Word of Blake)
Clan Nova Cat

They picked the Smoke Jaguars...They knew what they were getting into. I say...let the Jaguars end.

What's going to happen to Clan Smoke Jaguar?

Um...does it matter? I thought we were all part of the same glorious bucket?

But seriously, I can't imagine they are going to make the Ghost Bears and/or FRR into the GB Dominion (one clan/faction gets both IS and Clan mechs in CW? I don't think so). So If they can ignore that lore, particularly since last I checked the FRR no longer has a planet on the in game map (that was a while ago so I could be wrong), they can ignore other aspects of lore as well.

I mean consider the total lack of in game consequences after the Clans won Tukyyid (TWICE!). That change of lore was ignored as well. The clans subsequently took terra (again)...any changes after that? Nope. So looking at the history of PGI's concern with lore and its affects on the game (or lack thereof) I don't expect them to suddenly concern themselves with such matters now.

Smoke Jags will be fine.

[Davers]

Has PGI said they were changing the map to reflect the canon timeline? I just assumed it was going to be the same map/factions, just with some new equipment.

PGI hasn't given a single crap about loyalists so far, why should they start now?

Would be nice if they let Loyalists get a reward of letting us use one of the other sides' mechs in our drop decks starting at rank 5, with the restriction of Light/Medium/Heavy/Assault depending if you are rank 5/10/15/20.... That would be a nice perk for being a Loyalist....

Last I heard about that, it was Mercs whining about having all these clan mechs that they couldn't use when running IS contracts, they wanted to have the exclusive ability to run both.

You answered your own question. Your Clan will be annihilated, and you will have to pick another.

And they got shoot down pretty fast since they could run both (especially on events) unlike the loyalists.

No, it was suggested under salvage rights, rank high enough and be able to field a mech from the different side.
But hey, we got salvage in the game now, supply caches.. that is waaaaay better then what the community had in mind.

[MechaBattler]

At best. They get a tukiyad style event to determine their fate. At worst they get renamed and they're removed from the map, not that it matters anymore.

*tukayyid

(but yea,, pretty much this. Probably a "smoke jaguar farewell" event.. get a lootbag for *insert last 4 would-you-like-to-buy-a-mechpack-? packs" or something along the line.)
