Here is the summary document from the cast ASH did about improving MWO.

And the cast

Thoughts? Concerns? What else would you like to see discussed in a future cast?

Out of all the top suggestions listed at the end of that document, I can say that only two of them would even slightly make me consider coming back.

The things that interested me the most are the recommendations to lower the price of many of the items available in the store and what we can do to get new players into the game. I have a couple friends who never got into mwo back in its prime because of the cost to play and buy mechs. I feel like if some of these new player changes were made, I'd have a chance to get some of them into the game and that would motivate me to hop in and guide them.

Solo Q with group-solo Q opt in would be an improvement.

This is an ancient idea, but, when you talk about all of those map problems in different game modes , seeing what map is going to be used an then choosing your mech would be an improvement. So everyone has the opportunity to run faster mechs for the base capping mode, for example.

Ideally, it would be swell to have a drop deck of 4 mechs, and then you choose what mech goes in based on mode and maybe map.

So to explain why8v8 solo queue frigthens me (Group Q being an other thing and having 8v8+opt in being a good idea):
1- 12v12 is a kind of original format. 8v8 is closer to other (good) shooters I play.
2- It's a kind of validation that the population won't grow up (or at least in greater proportion) anymore.
3- Smaller teams means your personnal impact is greater. More pressure for new comers. More pressure when you grind a fresh mech. More insentive to tryhard. Ok for a "ranked" queue, not what I expect from "quick play" queue.

So, the truth.

The rest of that is an argument to keep everything the same.

You know how many threads named something like that there have been?

During the cast our focus of conversation was 8v8 Group Queue, not 8v8 Solo Queue. Solo queue is in a decent place with 12v12 and I don't think it really need to move away from that. As a side note, the game was designed around 8v8 originally, then expanded to 12v12, so to call 12v12 an 'original format' is incorrect.

Since the rest of your post is all around the fear about 8v8 solo queue, i don't think i need to go into it further. As far as growing the game population, it is absolutely possible as long as A) PGI puts in the work to get it done and B ) The community doesn't chase people away due to their own frustrations with the game.

As promised ye can check on the SumUp-Document of the MWO-Comp Stream regarding the future of MWO here.

Nice to have this document. Thx for the effort.
on the 8v8 point:
new queue in addition to current 12v12 quickplay or is it 2 8v8 queue? (I imagine it's second option).

precision on this point never came until your post.
Thank you very much for this precision. Appreciated.

By original, I meant "uncommon" (my limited english).

I am not convinced the current packs are "too expensive" as most other games are charging ridiculous prices for in game items.

Perhaps just increase the frequency of "deals/sales"
