If there aren’t enough players to support solo and group queue anymore then it stands to reason there aren’t enough players to support 7 Solaris queues anymore. Merge them all.

What about closing Solaris 7 entirely and concentrating on the development of some other part of MWO - preferably some part that still has some players?

How about paying players 7000 MC to play 20 Solaris matches like Comp? I'd be willing to play that many games...

Agree merge brackets - maybe as someone climbs the ladder differentiate people into brackets much like QP matchmaker does.

I think merging or at least making more seamless the transition between different Ques' (Quickplay, solaris, faction) I'd like to be able to go a central match finding screen and either drop 'for first available match' or know how many people are in the Solaris Q/FP que before I pick a que to matchmake for.

Add in casual play mode.
Put in some check boxes and let you pick which divisions and if rank or casual to search for.
MM matches you with closes rank in whatever div you both selected.
If a match is made between players of close elo its ranked.
If a match is made between players of far apart elo its casual.

People still play Solaris 7 matches?

my solaris wish list:

drop number of divisions to 5. 4 for each weight classes and a 5th unlimited class. 7 divisions dont make any sense.

add 4v4. medium division could replace fp scouting as its medium skirmish at its best and 20 ton smoke diving at its worst.

add a simple mm so its not so hard to play 2v2 and eventually 4v4.

and this list would not be complete without ffa. because that would be fun as hell.

They were asked to make 1 launch buttons the same week it came out. The asked us to make videos on how to improve it then they did nothing. There were hundreds of ideas to make the mode better. Maybe Pgi should go back and watch these videos.


Simple example. 7 check boxs with 1 launch button.

im all for this and reducing divisions to 5.

[General Solo]

Rather than merge the brackets maybe have Solaris open at limited times maybe, the idea is to concentrate the players and increase the queues when it is open.

Rahter than be open all the time but a ghost town.

I love solaris. You never see anyone in the other areas like cw or qp go "1v1 me bro' in all chat trying to be a macho man because solaris is there to make them rethink that brag. Also love my solaris unbroken record of 0-0-0. I saw videos of others in it and went ah another pgi interpretation of ideas. I do like the animated intro and sounds for mwo when it starts up;even has aircraft and fire works.

When PGI bribes them with (almost) free rewards to do so.

solaris is actually one of the best ways to grind gxp. so few pepole play it that if you just put in 25 games, no matter how bad you play, you get a massive wad of gxp at the end of the season.

but im not currently hurting for gxp at present, with tons of gsp and gxp already im good till i run out of mechbays, and i just bought a bunch of em.
