That's often the case, PUG. Team X is a premade of 12 players, doing 'A' strategy. Team Y is 12 pug players who can't fight their way out of a wet paper bag. Obviously Team X wins. Also obviously, strategy 'A' is overpowered, since skill / teamwork cannot possibly be why Team Y lost.

This is total bull crappola and you know it first off premades and pugs should have never dropped against each other from day 1 of MWO the skill gap and meta are to far apart to make premades or pugs happy campers in FP.

Plus I found out during the last IS VS IS events just how fun FP still was when no premades were present in battles and it was just pugs VS pugs very close games 99% of the battles.

On the other hand FP was fun back in CW when I played premade teams only but back then 90% of our games were against other premade teams not just farming and rolling pugs 24/7.

I still say if PGI even wants to try and bring back this game and FP as a viable game mode they have to segregate premades from solo players and build on that as well as other aspects of MWO that need a rework to make MWO a fun and exciting game new players want to stay with and help support it.

Re: My question about insta-popping 'Mechs into existence...

The flight paths that the dropships take when dropping 'Mechs is not a dynamic flight path. It's a hard locked animation. Essentially, it's not a pretty system in the first place but re-engineering them to follow a spline based flight path is not something I can fight for at the moment. However, if the insta-pop is okay, that's one way I can work on getting selectable drop points on the table. Not guaranteed, but at least it can be brought up again.

How about dropping in style like Titian Fall. We start out in our cockpits of our mech in a drop ship flying 2000 feet in the atmosphere and we see the bay doors open below us and just drops us to our spawn points?

I was wondering if it would be possible to make a Intro video to FW kind of like a ride along for each mode put in the Academy? o.O

I've only brought this up 10 times.

Streaming MWO is not an issue... Except as im not a partner my videos disappear after a couple weeks or something (that is an issue).

A intro video, IMO, is a different kettle of fish to just streaming games.

You do know that you can save your streamed games on...of course you know this.

No, because then PGI would need to expand the maps to make them viewable from so high above.

Im not sure if this has been mentioned already but I have spent the last few days online quite a bit and the broken friends list is getting really silly, it gets to the point that 75% of my friends list who are online are actually offline but because i haven't logged out and back in it doesnt refresh.
PLEASE could we get a fix for this?

Paul mentioned in one of his posts (in the other official thread I think) that this has been addressed, they just don't know when it will go live. I specifically asked him not to sit on it too long if at all possible.

Aaaaaand nothing, yeah, WC is on blah blah but no results from 44 pages, not even a single tiny fix. I call BS on this whole sharade with PGI taking input.  And my play time is down 80% in the last few months cause the game got BORING. We go into FP, wait for an hour, get 2 ghost drops, then we stomp pugs and that's it! YOUR GAME IS DEAD. RIP.

Or put the mech in those radar absorbing cocoons and play some elevator music for us while we fall to earth.

Nothing is going to happen until after mechcon. In two months we will see the video and tell if it was worth it or not

Basics of economy: you get the service (FP matches) and you pay for it (by buying MC, Mechs, etc.). If there is no service (FP matches) you stop paying the provider and find something else to kill your time with. Would you wait for an hour to get a drink in a bar? No? And if you do get served you get a fly in your drink or waiter spills your drink all over you after waiting for an hour (you get stomped by a 12-man premade). Only a madman would put up with a game that treats you like garbage. It's a sick relationship. That's why people leave and the only ones left are hard-core try-hards that never wanna leave their comfort zone. And they are finally leaving slowly. There is no fix for this, MWO will die very very soon.

well arnt you a barrel of joy! the whole point of this thread is to come together and brain storm on how to fix the situation...cause we are all very aware of the current state of things. your not exactly helping anything.

[Ninjah]

PGI putting resorces into FP? Don't make me laugh. We'll get a couple of trivial fixes, just enough for milking to continue for a few more months and that's it.

Stop wasting your time giving suggestions to a brick wall and find something better to play. Best thing to do right now is to boycot the game till it dies and PGI loses the licence or they actually do some work. Which will never happen.

2 months of collecting feedback - you would think it's enough to gain general overview of pending issues and get things going. Is anything being done yet PGI?
