Hey PGI can we have a faction play only event, i do recall some mention of this happening or were you just pissing on us and calling it rain.

Seems like "The Year of Faction Play" was little more than "The Year of Fiction (Played)".

LOL, no. Look at MWO's site main page. Now PGI dont do events for all gamemodes, except Solaris ****.

I want a faction event where the only valid mechs are urbanmechs.

What's the point of having an event that only benefits about 23 people? Doesn't make sense to have an event that represents only a fragment...and a small one at that now....of the population.

If you are not intrested in the game mode, why do you care so much?

Because the FP population is still probably the most loyal one of the entire MWO community.

The sad reality is most folks only want to QP . The purpose of events are to attract as many people as possible so PGI can offer up something for a sale . Faction only pays well for time spent if you won . How many times do most of us want to lose ? It hurts less in QP . Also the new changes to FP which was supposed to improve it after all the player suggestions had the opposite effect and has probably lost more than a few players .

I myself still think those changes were done to benefit the MWO software or hardware somehow , not the game quality or players but I am not an expert .

Old school Faction events also came with innumerable problems .

They could not dare to rp 2 factions because the other factions would moan and bow out .
Then that wierd and faulty tug of war system which could turn a sure win upside down .
And of course that most powerful force in the galaxy , Coordinated groups farming noobs

Not sure how accurate that is. I'd rather FP than QP, but I really don't want to go through the trouble of getting into a group. Unfortunately, with the new changes, FP is for groups only. I'd wait to see if they'll fix it, but we're in maintenance mode now, so.....probably not.

Well I think it is overdue as well. Sadly this only highlights PGI complete disregard of CW in favor of no respawn quickies.

I miss CW. Was very involved with (-MS-) and the CW early days. Shame this game mode has withered into nothing.
