I have been in queue for almost 1/2 hour. I guess I will try again later. Maybe people are still at work or have not seen the announcement yet.

Testing a new game mode?

Sign me up, I'm there!

[Moonlight Grimoire]

Been waiting for a while as well in queue and nothing. Guess everyone is still patching and focused on the event. Really dislike that PGI so often does PTS stuff while events are going. I mean at least this time it was well after the start of an event, so +1 to PGI on that.

Waaaat. I accidentally opened the PTS yesterday instead of the live client and it was definitely offline and no patching options. =P

yeah same here, but I did see it tis morning, so started the patch, with 1 minute left an error
patching again, think I'll take a nap while it patches

So just to reiterate something from the Structure section, the PTS is currently running on the 12v12 system. Wait times will suffer a bit, but proper gameplay feedback is really going to benefit from full Teams.
We're going to keep an eye on the queues through the weekend, and we'll evaluate reducing Team compositions based on the traffic.

I'll be in the queue for at least the next hour today, looking forward to seeing some of you there and over the weekend

can you get Paul to come in too and call in Long Toms for maximum madness?

It looks like the process for forcing Incursion into every vote screen isn't taking, so Incursion isn't guaranteed to be a vote option. Team is investigating

[DAYLEET]

Looks great. I will totally test this. Real objective with real mechanics and consequences.

Testing new features Should be an actual event.

"Testing new features should be actual events."
Can you pass this up to whoever it may concern, thank you.

Please advised when this is fixed. I will wait until I see that before trying again.

Why even forcing other game modes if you only wanna test the new one? Just bring in the new mode only!

[Moonlight Grimoire]

While it is nice to see the loading screens for the other modes, we did hop on the PTS for Incursion. So getting back to back not incursion is getting a bit silly.

[Colonel ONeill]

WOW just WOW.

After sitting in the Q for some time I had the option between Escort and Domination.

TY very much PGI

The solution would be quite easy and not too hard to figure out:

Well well. I've seen the new scenes.

Note. The backgrounds are far beyond the art that is demonstrated by the staffs best plz.

It is possible to do in 3d the true mech Bay as it shows in the first opening image of the game It was time to change that. A basic idea for each tier is a different number on Mech Bay . A more difficult one mech Bay in 360 degrees as to be yours already has for the MW5

Why does PTS not only use a mod since it wastes time in playing the others ???

The mod is new and very simple but I do not find anything new. Something missing

[Alexander Garden]

Apologies folks; I know it's a drag. This has exposed a need for greater 'live' control over available Modes in the voting system.
We've just issued a fix for this which will force Incursion into every vote. A caveat to this is that you'll need to exit the PTS client and relaunch the Portal to apply the patch.
If you're already logged in you can continue playing without the patch, but unless you're matched against at least one other player with the patch applied Incursion won't be a guaranteed vote option. So to make things easier I recommend you hit the patch.

Apologies again for the frustration.

No. you're coming back to the Public PTS....

[Moonlight Grimoire]

In all seriousness though, I do love the new loading screen art, it is fantastic. Hope you fix the mode issue, I got plans for the next few hours so I will come back to it later. Hope you guys figure out how to make the server obey.

Alright, I got time for one more stab at it.

[Ronan]

is it 12v12 or 8v8?

Tried one game, no incursion option (tho that's maybe fixed now?), and it was 8 v8.

[Uncle Totty]

Five drops and no Incursion. Will try again tomorrow.

[Nelos Kniven]

someone send me a friend invite for private match. Not that 1v1 incursion is best, just seems fastest way to try it

[Gun Sarge]

Regarding fuel cells, it looks like they would be handled by lights.

I guess i'll know for sure when I try it out, if that patch would hurry up

[Morggo]

Thanks, Alex!
