This is hilariously terrifying in what it represents.

Russ seems to be backpedaling on this now.

[Grus]

They should have fixed FP a year ago...

They shouldn't add "new fresh ideas" but implement what they promised 4 years ago.

Suddenly they have to shut it down for a month for these fixes because Solaris? I know coincidence does not constitute causality... but come on...

A- a CW update?! At this time of day, at this time of year, at this point in development, localized entirely within the Solaris launch window?!


Yes!


...May I play it?


...No.

[Scoops Kerensky]

Yes, and you call these updates despite the fact the game is obviously dead.

[Artanon]

Speaking as someone who plays just when they can, and as part of a unit. I play MWO for the Faction play. Being a money-grabbing mercenary aside! I wouldn't see much use in me trying to compete in some arena-combat. I mean if I wanted to fight in an arena-based game, I would go ahead and book up unreal tournament again!

I play as likely many others do, for the unit's and people we have encountered and formed good friendships, rivalries and the like in this game. Particularly in the faction-warfare dynamic. I can't count the number of time's I have had my backside handed to me by better players, people with more skill and experience in FW. And you know what? I keep coming back, it make's me improve. Because you have a unit alongside you who can help with a little coaching even a noob like me to develop into a semi-half decent pilot.

So please, I hope they don't shut down FW for Arena-Solaris mode. Keep us fighting away group by group, CLAN VS IS, Mercenaries getting all the sweet C-Bills for picking our fights to our own advantage. If I have to leave the game for a month because my unit mate's are not playing? That will irk me, but you know. Can always sit in the soon to be released Battletech turn-based game.

Too Long didn't read summary:
Faction play is the best mode in this game. Don't switch it off for an untested arena-fighter with mechs. If folks want that, they often go for Armoured Core or Gundam games.

I won't trust PGI anymore on FP development before they actually start delivering.

Russ / PGI will say anythin to keep players for one more Mechpack

Boycott. They been rolling in so much dough these few years that there's no bloody excuse for why there has been barely any development for FP. Threaten their revenue and they will have to listen. The community is the most important aspect of any game and I think PGI has forgotten that without our wallets none of this will exist.

I haven't spent a dime since they revamped FP into quickplay 2.0 with respawn TM.
That said, i tried to play FP yesterday but had to close the search after 40 minutes. Guess noone is playing in EU prime on a monday ".

[Lyons De Flamand]

Ehm, our unit dropnight is Monday, we started about 8pm CET.

Search times are a bit rough for both sides right now. I believe Russ-chickenwings announcement (in spite of a possible reversal) about the shutdown + the month long QP event has pushed a few people away, at least for now. On a different note, there are quite a few new names and abysmally low scores lately.. So?

Who the F knows. What I do know is that even Spiderman can't save us now.

Wow a whole week or two without FP , the horror. Go read a book .

PGI are diverting employees to make sure Solaris is fully tested and glitch free for your personal enjoyment and you whiners want to riot about it .......naturally.

What you seem not to get is, that people who love playing FW are righteously pi**.....errm....off set! Not to mention what was promised 4 years ago.....but as "recent" as december 2016 Russ stated, that there would be major improvements in FW and that they will focus more on this game mode...thus the .1 behind the 4. What happened? NOTHING!

That being said, there is, as Ash has stated, no need for a shutdown since FW isn't causing any costs anyhow, staff wise!

As I said before, when FW keeps running, I will buy the Solaris mechpack and try this mode out (even though I will surely suck in it, since I am a sub par player)......but if they really shut down FW, then no mech pack and no Solaris for me!
