PGI needs to bring back regular scouting missions and reward LP for those so solo players and small/new units can make progress outside of the faction play stomping thanks to large skilled units.

Biggest units at maximum right now have about 6 players groups in FP and usually even less what are you smoking?

After your outburst on blaming MJ12 for ruining FP, I found it to be a joke you even compared two completely different units.

Does LP even matter when there isn't even a leader board to tally it?

I mean free mech bays are nice, I don't think scouting was that good of a way to grind them though.

I assume they mean loyalty points.

Where is the premade on this Vitric defense map? Also why did you think it was a good idea to bring lurms? Does not compute.

[Mont]

Don't assume that a "premade" mean skilled.

Stomp on FP is nothing new. It is a "by product" of the game mode design. Let's look at the description:

https://wiki.mwomerc...le=Faction_Play

Faction Play is where highly-competitive MechWarriors fight for control over the Inner Sphere through distinct game modes. It places a strong emphasis on team cohesion and specialized 'Mech loadouts, and there is no skill-based matchmaking system in place. Faction Play matches are thus often comprised of experienced and well-organized Units of players running heavily customized 'Mechs.

The matches can be ruthless and frustrating, no holds barred so to speak. Solo players, small groups and varying-skilled pilots/units will have to realize/accept the risk. It's not fair to blame players/units for this stomping situation. You might face similar circumstances in scouting as well.

Our offer that we said in that match vs P1E still stands - we'd be happy to share our view on how team can handle the matches better. There is no secret than use the right mechs, shoot better, communicate, and rely on team work.

Honestly it's not that hard, just have to know who to play with

according to primus every game where there are 3-4 good players on enemy team to face his 3-4 players is him facing a 12 man. It's how they justify sitting back near their spawn for dropship protection

[Hellbringer]

Some of you “beasts” out there are literally a 12 man by yourselves. Well... maybe not a 12 man. Maybe more like a lance of pugs (average pug does ~700-1000 damage or less with 4 mechs). So doing 3000+ damage is about a lance worth of pugs.

You know who you are !!!! Shakes fists.

Biggest units at maximum right now have 12 player groups in FP, but more often include some hand picked non-unit players to further boost it.

Thing is the biggest unit groups come out during N.American time, and are most noticeable at the end of MWO prime time, probably because by then they've chased everyone out from both queues and become part of every match, becoming the reason why prime time ends with them.

So if you're playing during European time you will probably miss them, if you start playing at the end of MWO prime time they won't miss you.

this kind of threat never gets old xx
