So.... clan, inner sphere... mercenary, free lancer ... loyalist

WHAT ever!......

the fact that you get a invite for a unit.. and you leave your clan (im a wolf since 1993ish)

now your in a unit and you get a invite to a group faction play.. (*from some cool people)

but you cant play because your faction is not associated or what ever...


seriously, faction is so broken as it is, the restrictions of clan or club affiliation, twist the knife in the wound


you cant join invites because of faction, or house.....

it needs to be corrected so that you can pick what ever mech is required to join...

ok.. So im a wolf, (*tag) and you invite me to stienner house mix, I pick a innersphere mech and not a clan.. and im able to join the group drop..... and then vs versa

Faction play is about factions. Sounds like you want to play group q.

it takes 5 seconds to switch sides

The only consequences for temporarily changing factions is a ten match probation. That's nothing . Your faction is not a ball and chain and you are not stuck in it forever .

Given how meaningless everything about faction play actually is... it kinda doesn't make any real sense to have all the distinctions beyond Clan/IS bucket.
....that's all the game looks for anyway.

And I say this as the guy that wrote this with its 130 likes, based on what PGI had already discussed about their vision of Community Warfare up to and including having to use a dropship to go from planet X to planet Y to get into battle and having to leave Planet Y or have your team bring up resupplies when you run out...


You know...all that stuff we never got.

Immersion.
They waved bye to that a while ago.

Been a GB loyalist from the start.

Their needs to be better loyalist rewards. Like exclusive paints/cammo/skins/mechs.

But it does sound like you want or would be better in Group Que.

Go merc and fight any one any where any time. On the bright side you get all the c-bills now. The down side? Remembering which mechs are meta for fw play and ready to launch.
