So when is the next FP event? How long has it been since we had one? I mean MW5 needs help and all but I thought PGI setup a system to make this stuff easier to do.

[Yondu Udonta]

Yes please, I need to slay some potatoes. And also shorter queue times.

[Willard Phule]

Ack, no. Please no. Give us a minute to catch our breath before you start funneling the new potatoes back into FW for another poorly thought out and implemented event.

[Sigmar Sich]

Yes please. Next from "Battle for ..." series. With better victory conditions if possible, like counting all matches.
CW is in dire need for life-support, before PGI will finally do something about it, after Solaris. Though for last two roadmaps, i'm highly sceptical about this.

[DarkFhoenix]

It's possible events are on pause until a better win /lose condition is figured out.

DEVs might be giving Solaris their full attention for now . There is only so many hours in a day.

Potatoes are a part and parcel of FP Willard, you have to realize that if you are going to solo drop FP you gotta carry some potatoes.

haha yeah because i suppose taking private lobbies (already exist) and making them 1v1 (already exists) and adding a stat report of some sort (already exists) and creating at least 1 specific map (already exists) will be time consuming and challenging.

More like they are farming us for cash to pay for MW5.

Events though.....

We really need something which is CHALLENGING. Sure provide something for the quick play crowd but the FP players are not going to be impressed by the usual get 10 assists have 1mil CBills.

Try adding a choice element as has been mentioned before, you can sign up to easy, med or hard challenges, easy is 10 assists or whatever, hard is you must achieve 10 successful invasion attacks and defences or take part in at least 2 planetary win cycles or something.

If it IS going to be a tukayyid type thing then yes, counting all matches needs to be done or at least the winner from every cycle otherwise it will just devolve in to a last 8 hour melee again.

Oh yeah....we had FW events, didn’t we? I liked the prizes, but the win conditions in the last two got so screwed up that I guess I had blocked the whole debacle out of my memory

I think this is it. Good idea.
It counts every timezone of every day, making their contribution viable. It is better than total count, where low-populated timezones would have hard times to influence the battle because of much more matches happens in high-populated timezone.
And it is really easy to do, even if with pen and paper...

As long as we get shorter queue times I don't think any FP regular gives a damn about the prizes. The prize is more drops/day, the bonus is the rewards.

[Javin]

Wait, FP is still a part of this game?

[naterist]

They mentioned before solaris was officially announced that if they did make solaris, then everything else mwo (aside from mechpacks and decals) would be on hold.

[Nightbird]

I don't see why it takes two patches to remove breaking loyalty penalties... surely it is just changing 2 numbers somewhere to 0.

[justcallme A S H]

Given the debarcles of the last two "big" FP events that were very poorly thought out, flawed and then backflipped upon...

Plus we still haven't seen all the stats from the 2nd event, nor an explaination why the planet was flipped...

The care factor just isn't there.

would you like to buy a solaris?

[Tier5 Kerensky]

We aren't getting new events because Clans are losing and there's so much of planets to go.
