Someone tell me what kind of ******** is this. I did not get my 1 minute to prep for a drop which results in me bringing laser vomit into Terra Therma. If I wanted to bring sub-optimal mechs into a certain map I would play QP. There hasn't even been a recent patch so how can something just break down out of nowhere? Really perplexed at how hard it is to maintain something.

Thats interesting. so it just dropped you into the game. wow. that can literally screw your game over. and it probably did it to others

[LordNothing]

you have discovered a rare unicorn.

one essential skill is to be able to swap out mechs for alternates in under 30 seconds. it helps is you keep them on a sparsely loaded favorites page. or you can just throw money at dropdecks.

This is why i always have my standard laser vomit heavy deck selected as default, that way if this happens I have at least got a deck which will be functional if not optimal.

[Palfatreos]

tbh this has never ever happened to me nor have ever heard anybody who played FW regulary complaint about.

[DevlinCognito]

I've had it a few times, and the other team complained of the same thing when we asked.

[Palfatreos]

since when did this first happend? and how frequent?

[DevlinCognito]

Its not happened a lot, I can only think of 2 times. About a year ago was the first time.

I've had it happen exactly once that I can remember. Was last summerish time maybe? And like Devlin, other team complained.

[justcallme A S H]

In all my matches I've never had it.

I feel left out.

I often alt tab while queued and when i alt tab back in the games already starting and ive missed select correct mechs, similar situation.... =p

The "additional 2 dropdecks for 1000mc each" was just insulting, we need to be able to preselect a deck b4 queueing for every map/mode/attack/defence combo.

[Marius Evander]

because One team getting 10 minutes and the other getting 60 seconds to work out their dropdeck doesn't work, needs to be b4 queueing theres a "mech lab" for tinkering what mechs you take to where/mode/role.

[justcallme A S H]

Rumour has it that a couple others are experiencing it today as well...

That, IMO, is enough to say there is a problem emerging.

[slide]

It happened a couple of times yesterday to people in the group(s) I was playing with.

Definitely seems to be a bug that is self replicating.

Have about 2k+ games under my belt over various accounts, first time it happened for me. Thought it was a bug that just started to occur hence this thread.

No time to switch at all, entered the lobby at 00:00, both sides complained about the bugged timer in-game.

[K O Z A K]

Just had this happen for the first time, timer went from 7min to 00:00 instantly

It happens and VERY rare.

[Asym]

Was it your default drop deck you ended up with?

[DevlinCognito]

I can't remember the second time, but the first was a snipe deck on Sulphurous attack which was .. less than ideal, but no idea if it was set as default or not.
