Imagine what kind of deadzone this game would be if they went with the plan to close CW.

Well, dont have to actually, Solaris is dead now. All the pilots I drop with are here for CW, they won't go play Solaris, they would quit playing altogether until CW opened again.

I try to mix QP and FP but you would have to threaten me with fire to get me near Solaris 7.

Solaris became boring and pointless 1 week after introduction, BUT WE MUST ALL FORGET FP AND PLAY IT BECAUSE PGI SAYS SO

Would have suck if you rebranded your game around something that was dead after 2 weeks.

Oh wait...

"Friends! Lets play Mechwarrior Solaris together" .... jep...sounds somehow stupid.

S7 was a nice reprieve from QP and FP until i started watching twitch streams and went "ahh here's where all the players went" so mainly you got alot of the community just bsing outside of the game itself as it's more entertaining than dropping into the same set variables of the game... grind grind grind... i was looking for a new mech to buy (only have 150 of them) and went... nope... But now i got engines for days for all the mechs i do play... I can only get so excited over the same weapons being thrown in different hardpoints so many times. Maybe scarsity might help? Like introduce weapon systems that can be purchased during certain events or whatever. Beats me just blabbing.

I am the same way about omnipod combinations. There is something exciting about working on new weapons combos.

I got as far as looking at the UI and that's it.

1v1, 2v2? That's not Solaris, that is a private lobby with a fancy dress on.

You should try it. Its really quite good until it becomes repetitive

I'll consider your advice after they re-shuffle the Divisions.

Until then, I'll stick to my main mode of play.

FFA mode would instantly make me reconsider, you know, like Solaris we all know and played.

FFA would be easily abused as you and your friends when you meet in a drop will gang up on any third party first.

Oh noez! Sync droppingz!

Don't need to drop with friends to gang up on the weak link.

[Nightbird]

Yep, so forget about FFA.

No.

FFA IS Solaris not the crap they gave us.

I do not want to play Solaris 7 but I think FP should get more chances at Supply Caches. QP is over with too soon.
