I am thinking of getting into faction play. I have played before in pug league. I have 100 mechs, both clan and IS, from which to choose drop decks. Any opinions about which faction IS/clan/merc gives the best experience? I will be eventually looking to get into a regular group to avoid the pugs vs organized team match ups (avoid being on the pug side Posted Image ).

If you tell me your favorite mechs, i'll tell your specific faction.

Maybe faction was the wrong term. I have 67 IS mechs and 34 clan mechs. They are all fully skilled. I am not looking to play a lore role. I am willing to run meta builds. Given this context is the FP experience better as an IS or clan loyalist or as merc (combined/switching between IS/clan).

Mercs then. META can fluctuate, if PGI bothers to patch their game, but only mercs will give you access to both sides.

Merc for chasing the meta.

IS for the defending your homeland experience

Clan if you want to know what it felt like to invade Poland in WW2

Loyalist jump from faction to faction every match. If they lock your mechs because you died in few minutes just get it new ones.

Get as much free stuff as you can before they shut down the game.


To quote Spheroid, "none of this matters".
