ill enjoy what i can until the death of FP really

This. Even tho cw isn't as fun as during Phase 1 or 2, it's still 21381293901290 times better than sh*tty solo Q.

This is a perfect reason now that we have stock comp mode to make CW a showcase by enforcing meta only.

Good players will be enticed by more even games and the others unable to compete will perhaps give Solaris and new comp a shot.

Got to say I was a little disappointed that there wasn't more content in the road map.
Other than the export feature, which has easily got to be one of the best things added since the addition of the little crown to shift group leadership, there wasn't really anything to get excited about.

There are plenty of threads and more than enough players willing to help out that this feature could be a massive benefit for helping players with FP builds and mechs.
Thank **** we don't have to skill up 3 mechs of a chassis any more.

But, none of that will actually improve FP as a mode and the community here likes to continuously shoot itself in the foot so what do you expect?

[Javin]

I would be happy with more maps. I do not expect any real content anymore. Just release a map tool!

[Dran Dragore]

why is the Solaris Map not in FP included?

I am under the impression that FP really suffers from two different oberservations.

1. The number of experienced, good FP players has dropped over time and not increased
2. The interest of new players to join the units in the community also dropped

While in the beginning Community Warfare (former FP) did make use of the units in order to spread knowledge and train new players the units doing this job never have been rewarded. These big units (interestingly mainly loyalists) formed the backbone with their mixed skill premades of newbies and advanced players. In parallel, players socialized across units on TS hubs and smaller units (with higher skill levels and highly dedicated members) derived from the old units. Good players simply like to play with good players to get on the next competitive level.
This went on for several years, till now there are only a few units left being able to form a full premade of 12. Some players even found it more interesting to split forces and only play in smaller groups because of decreasing skill level in FP. Today mainly cross unit premades of players knowing each other over the years dominate FP.

Like in every game people come and go and at least every game has a life cycle. It's in PGIs interest to focus their ressources on MW5 and I wish they have taken their lessons from the last years of MWO (honestly I doubt it) for all fans of BT related games.

In the end it's up to us to take FP as it is today and make the best of it. I for myself enjoy playing with newbies joining the German Clan Ghost Bear (http://geisterbaeren.de) as well playing in premades with other units.

Just be aware what kind of results you can expect playing on different team skill levels and you will have fun!

Little things like the crown! Make 4 coloured shields in the friends list that you can see which guy is dropping in which mode when you invite him.

It is possible to improve FP with little tweaks, no need for Overhauls (ok overhaul is needed, but little things would be enough nowadays).

I think like in other games, giving the community tools to create their own content would be smart!

PGI you dont like your black sheep Faction Play? Give it to us and dont care about it, give us control over it that we can improve FP on ourselves, so PGI can work on "their" projects. We stay here then and i'd buy mechpacks again.
Like CoH map editor or Modding tools in other Online Games with dedicated servers.

Hey i even would gather money for building up an own server for my own FP.

And a tool for filling the descriptions of the empty planets. I`d love to drink my coffee in the morning and fill some planets with life.

Gimme!

I guess Solaris is not in FP because of the performance issues, but it would be fun to fight there in FP!

Johnathan Tanner, on 15 June 2018 - 11:51 PM, said:

Not totally true.

You can ask Yondu or Gwentler or others, in group chat we always see who is in the lobby and if someone is saying "Sky and his 420er are in lobby" then Bishop is yelling "Yeah, lets fight them!"

No, in my groups (which i made or where i am guest) we wish good enemies and we are sad if we see in the starting screen a bunch of beginners without a group on the other side.

There is a case we like exceptional pugs: If we got ***** 3-4 times in a row then yeah...1 match against pugs for a good mood is acceptable.

But. Honestly: I am a Pug. Like some "nice" Clanner guys yesterday stated out again that we are Noob OSOs and only can do objective rushes.

Funny thing, that guy mostly do less damage then me. I asked him "Are U at WAR?" - A little bit salt here and there is also FP and i love it. There are emotions!

And please no Spidey Thread here ok?

You don't know him very well do you Javin?? I thought you did

[Roland09]

You are all worrying too much about FP. I mean, the head honko pooba has said FP is REALLY IMPORTANT AND SIGNIFICANT to them. Okay, granted, his speech was a bit slurred when he said that, and the only thing that was stalling them at the time was the release of Solaris.

But Solaris is released now, and it's all fine and dandy and lively, so they will certainly now focus on FP. Read all about it here:

What do you mean, one of the people in that interview might have pulled a fast one? You mean, again?

I believe the will use the assured massive drop in players to justify finally removing the mode that they never wanted.

BINGO!!!!

And the community is now being conditioned for the inevitable.

MW5 is the future of the game, as far as PGI is concerned.

I, for one, like to remind people of their failures. It may motivate them to do better next time.

You are not wrong with that meme.

Consider this thread as my last serious attempt. I read the last Roadmaps, i saw that interview, i waited for Solaris release and its failure, now it is time for me to get answers for my long waiting.

If PGI think that they let FP dying and i will switch to QP and spent that much time and money there, then they are absolutely wrong. I switch to another game, sad but true. But hey, im just a single player, no problems when i am gone. MW5? Under these circumstances i won't buy it, because i dont buy products from companies i cannot trust.

Edit:
Deleted wrong conclusion.

I'm getting tired of fighting 420 and generally any other clan unit premade these days. Cos it is just lurms and base rushes. Then again I can't really blame them, I don't play much on my clan account these days because PGI has been constantly ******** on clan tech, lurms are probably the only viable weapons against IS. But my premade at full strength generally doesn't mind taking on any other premades in normal circumstances so be our guests anytime
