After the previous FP Conflict ended, no new one commenced.

So, we can't follow the advice in the "Failed Diplomacy" announcement and complete the Challenges in FP matches*.

3rd time this has happened now. For the 3rd time, I have tweeted PGI to let them know. (Given how often this is happening, wouldn't it be awesome if someone at PGI checked the status of their only current product at change of Conflict, to see if it's working?)

* Yes I know you can complete the Challenges in QP. But I have developed zero tolerance for Potato Nascar, so I'm steering clear of that particular dumpster fire, thanks.

Bummer. What am I supposed to do on a saturday morning, watch cartoons? I'm an adult ffs.

I emailed support to contribute to the cacophony of complaints.

The games up till when it went fucky were actually decent too.

PGI: We are currently hiring a storywriter to write boring stories for Faction Play that no one bothers about because this is a feature that we want even though it serves absolutely no purpose except for [Redacted] and not having a story results in conflicts being unable to occur.

100% this. We'd much rather have a reliable FP conflict (like before) than this lore-stuff at the expense of FP staying available. For this to occur on a Saturday reflects very, very poorly.

PGI, please just make it Clan vs IS all the time and randomize modes like before.

Its not been a good week for PGI... first the Thursday patch mess now this.

I realize that MW5 is the priority atm, but please do enough to keep the servers up.

FP has been very populated of late so this especially hurts.

idk it seems like ive had games the last 3 days. lots of games. im 91% merc already. 9% to go (dont **** it up again).

[mber]

agreed it seems like FP was (starting to) work well again, but with a lot of effort in chat. How often do we read "does it always take this long?" when someone's been *finally* lured away from the QP queue... this doesn't exactly help, and those (lets call them "swing voter") players* probably give 0 ***** about lore.

To their credit PGI brought back Call to Arms (which some of us bitched... er... "clamoured for loudly" for some time), so good on them for that...

... of course it starts when there are 3 players in queue and shows up in matches, covering ECM/stealth and part of the weapon panel... so much palm, so few faces...

*both wrt game modes and this vs other [better run] games

The FORUMS always and forever will be fully functional and the best part of this game!

[FRAGTAST1C]

Amazingly (and sadly), this has coincided with me not being able to spend time on MWO this weekend. It was a long holiday but I'm too busy...

Maybe next week. Oh, and remember... Loot Bag event for FW. 125 LBs in FW and 75 across all game modes. 500 damage per LB and not limited to 1 LB per match. Thanks.

It's cultural: I'm Australian with Irish and Scottish grandparents. It'd be racist to make me stop saying shite.
