I usually don't play faction play but as a solo pugger, which faction do you all thing would be the best for me to join to knock out the challenges as quickly as possible??

Well clans obv. IF you have mechs that can effectively use all required weapon categorys.
otherwhise innersphere for easier stock up on mechs that can be made good by stripping parts of your old mechs.

I don't necessarily agree that clans are best but I am also looking for lowest que times as well. Do you usually have an easier time getting a match with a lower pop faction or higher pop faction ie. choosing Smoke Jag over Jade Falcons or does it even matter any more??

some jag vs jade falcon does not matter its clan vs IS.

IS will likely get faster queue times by a bit.

[naterist]

the different clans and houses were combined so its only 2, which individual one you join wont matter till.... soon.tm

IS will que up faster, and we have the most active/diehard loyalists. frr and daviuon teamspeaks always have groups if you look. clans will have a lot of top teir teams ***** inbetween comp practices or matches.

its same as tukkayid.

The single-bucket system made factions totally irrelevant, This is "A BattleTech Game" only on the upper left corner of a few web pages.

Whichever faction you have the best decks for.

I'd recommend Clan Diamond Shark.

IF IT WAS IN THE GAME.




... But yeah, Clans, I guess.

Depending on your mech availability based on Clan or IS sides, whichever faction has the biggest bonus payout.

If you're not gonna go loyalist but are a simple merc, you're in it for the money, and currently, Marik, and Liao pay the best, and on the Clan side, Jade Falcon..

Also, note that in the game as it is now, factions don't really matter at all.. The only time a faction choice matters is during Tukayyid and similar events if they ever make em'..

And only because Clan Wolf won twice, so we wanted a third victory (but had to concede to the amazing Clan Smoke Jaguar, cose' ya know they about to be annihilated )

Only then did factions matter.. all other times, they don't, and neither do planets.. Sad state really..
