Can anyone explain why PGI is just trying to ruin MWO!???

Can anyone explain why Siege is the only F**ing option? It is hard enough to get a game, and almost impossible when Siege is the only option!! Is there a reason all types of game plays are not offered? I have refused to purchase anything for months. Why should I support a game that does not respect the wishes of its players.

Very upset!

You need to look no further than knowing that Siege is the classic and most popular mode in FW.

The most active FW players complain about not getting enough of it. So, while it doesn’t make your feelings invalid, just know you are in the minority here.

I had time for 2 games yesterday. Modes siege/conquest. 2 drops of caustic conquest.

WTF PGI NEED MORE SIEGE!!!!!!!111

[Ignatius Audene]

And see dead attack lane... 0/27 is not rare in siege only. Solution must be: siege always in rotation with high chance. Attackers and defenders only decided at the beginning of the drop. To achive this get rid of this story bul^$^^$^$ no one read the x is landing on patrol and fighting y "fluff" anyway

If Siege is so popular than why does it take 30 to 45 minutes to get a game, versus 15 minutes to get another type game? I have played MWO for years, was present when the faction play changes. I know siege is the original, I do not agree that there are more siege players than people who want other types of game plays.

Screen shot 830am MST 7/18/20, normally there are lots of European players on playing faction.

It’s generally harder to get a siege drop as a solo player (longer wait times) than a non-siege mode drop as a solo player. The reason for this is that some units and friend groups (mixed tag teams) who really love siege will line up big groups when they see Siege mode offered (“boxing out” solos and making their wait times longer). Many of those same groups won’t organize a group if its not siege. So, you see more solos in non-siege modes and it’s easier for solos to get quicker drops for other modes.

All I am asking for is a variety in game play. QP has multiple options, why cant Faction?

it do make hims feelins invalid

Not that long ago there was a chance of getting a faction game in the late afternoons and into the evening in my timezone (eastern Australia). Now there's not even a couple of hopeful dullards readying up and it's 0/0 all the time.

Probably nothing to do with it always having siege of late. Although there have been a few more assault and skirmish etc tacked on as a second option lately.

Soup q did a number on fp in every time zone, even with the best mode on offer 24/7.

[General Solo]

You Factards always blaming quick now soup queue for your problems.
What happened?
Seal supply runout?

[Ignatius Audene]

Small groups back in the group eh soup queue? Idiot events, that farm around 5 times faster in qp? Permanently siege with fixed attacker? Pgi is trying to kill faction, so they can finally reduce to the one mighty bucket (or are just to s#%^$^ to realise how their changes work out)

You must be new here. Not respecting the wishes of their players is the entire foundation PGI built their empire on. Ask the founders.

only certain voices get heard

[Nightbird]

You can get QP modes in QP.

[Ignatius Audene]

They play quite different with the redrops, and I like every change of paste I can get. The qp to siege rate is a bit high, but at least that prevents the defend 0 /27 mm a "bit"
