I thought the mode was only going to be added if it got traction on the forums... I never saw it get traction.

eSports demands it therefore it is done.

I will tell you where to find it. Either google the previous town hall and listen toward the end, or google the Reddit transcript and skim it.

I'm laughing so hard right now I may not recover and die of suffocation.

Depends if it is fun or not. It could be awesome. Meanwhile faction play could have the more serious side.

They tried to make CW the more serious side, they even pulled the match maker code from it... thing was most of the hard core teams didn't want to fight other teams, they just wanted to farm skittles.... so yea, we've all seen how that turned out...

Like I said on the previous page Solaris should be entirely random. Random modes and random players. A player goes to Solaris he doesn't know what mode or how many players will be in the match. Would be very fun. It makes so much sense I don't see how it could be any other way. It is called Solaris after all isn't it.

The mech tiers that have been mentioned, I don't know what to make of it.

How ranking would go would be common sense I guess.

Faction play is a lot more complicated. Always was and always will be. Maybe its good they started with the tough one. Faction play still needs alot more. Solaris doesn't need to be that way.

Faction play now has 25% more faction play. I think we can safely say its done.

I don't think faction play is done.

Well here comes another golf clap dead game mode.

[Thorn Hallis]

Well, about 3 people wanted the Mad Cat MK2. It was implemented. Solaris is/was wanted by about 5 people, so expect it to happen.

PVE is more popular in general than PVP. If MWO wanted to cater to a few friends grouping up to fight then they would invest in some kind of PVE campaign and matches

yeah

they should have a PVE starship troopers gamemode where you have to defend a base from attack on all sides

except instead of bugs there would just be thousands of those tetatae bird creatures from that one battletech novel. they could have their own versions of mechs made out of trees and plant fiber and spears that do like 1 damage. but thered be thousands of them.

I would rather have historic battles against AI bots in actual mechs. Seige and defend against mechs.

Imagine if you could play a 12 man IS company against a clan drop on Tukayyid with AI controlling the clan mechs. Or drop in as a clan mech against IS bot defenders.

So many possibilities if they had introduced some co-op and PVE modes.

Well as I said when I came back from MechCon last year mwo is dead and mw5 is what I’m waiting for. PvP only games will always self destruct.

Well lord knows I tried to get Pvt coop in but everyone kept saying CW CW CW.

I want to slaughter both. Potato farming got old quick.

I was under the impression from the time they vaguely spoke about it before. That they would do some kind of 'stretch goals' type setup for determining how much they would add to Solaris. That it would otherwise just be a basic mode, unless people fulfilled the stretch goals by buying whatever goodie pack associated with it.

I get the feeling now that we're just getting 1v1 and 2v2 with custom geometry as the only big draw.

Summary of town hall https://mwomercs.com/…/253…/page__view__findpost__p__5797917

"7. Drumroll . . . Russ's twitter announcement regarding "wanting input on the future direction of the game's development" had nothing to do with development at all, but instead had to do with wanting to get people to buy into getting Solaris added to the game. Apparently mech packs aren't "exciting" enough anymore."


https://www.twitch.tv/videos/154001782



Russ didn't want input, Russ wanted cash.

I'm looking forward to the playable demo of MW5 there personally... as well as the HBS presentation... too bad I'll have to go right afterwards to catch my boat back to the Island.... (stupid ferry times during the winter....)
