No-longer-playing-forum-lurker here.

If you could pick two items from the potential change list:
https://mwomercs.com...pdate-daeron-02
that would make you come back to MWO what would it be?

For me it would be:

• Fix Mech Mobility (Desync)
  
• Weapon Balance Pass

I really thought there was a "timeline advancement" expecting new weapons, so i picked "Weapon Balance Pass" instead assuming it is more than just lip service.

• Skill Tree / Grind Reduction

Too many unrelated nodes on the skill trees that you have to select to get to the ones you actually want. I shouldn't have to select range nodes to get to laser duration nodes, for example.​

• Rescale 'Mechs (for fun and role vs volumetric)

​The last rescale was done improperly. So rescaling is a big one, pardon the pun.

- remove groups from the solo queue
- create a working matchmaker

[MechLord71]

Way more than 2 things need fixed for me to re-open my wallet...may return to play what I now have, but major changes needed for me to invest in this vice other games

- Matchmaker revamp
- New game modes and more creative play options (Maybe even some co-op missions mixed in, but MW5 gives me little faith they know how to do it)
- Weapon balance pass
- Mech handling (something not right here and I do not think it is engine de sync)

New mechs are always good, but not buying more of the same without game infrastructure improvements...this is a big statement from an almost compulsive mech collector at one point

[Spyco94]

Mech Volume rework & unique quirks.

Firestarters, particularly the Firestrom hero, are trash. Too big, not fast enough, can't pivot down far enough to use it's poorly mount lasers, and in the case of the Firestorm, 0 durability quirks that all the other ones get, all because it has at best, marginal mobility improvement over the other models.

1. Skill Tree / Grind Reduction

2. (Not in the list) Scrap consumables. Remove Cool shots, air strikes and artillery strikes completely, make UAV an equipment, taking up critical slots and tonnage for each additional probe.

[XX Sulla XX]

Fix Mech Mobility (Desync)
Weapon Balance Pass

[The6thMessenger]

Just two? I know the bar is low, but my god it's ******* low. Honestly, I'd rather they do everything in the list, so not to waste our time.

But in the spirit of the inquirly, I'll indulge you. Fix match making -- that means no more soup-queue and proper secondary balancing of teams, and then Rescale. The balance passes will come eventually anyways.

That isn't realistically happening. If PGI does that, they will lose a lot of the grouped players entirely. Best that can be hoped for is a matchmaker adjustment that will correct for groups better than the current one does.

Sounds like premades are not willing to play unless they are fed solos as target practice. No surprise here. The premades should not be surprised when the solos move onto other games though.

Nothing on this list will get my old unit back to playing. They're even still on the discord just not coming back for this.

Have to be an open world faction play universe or something to this scale to get them to come back.

I only drop in a group because i like playing as a team on a team game. My win ratio is around even Im not farming anyone. If i could go back to group Q I would in a second.

Except groups can be everything from competitively-minded premades to and including joe random and bob random who want to pew pew at giant robots with a buddy while getting progressively more drunk.

And in your unreasonable fear of the former and desire to exclude them, you'd rather write off the much larger semi-casual and casuar grouped players as collateral damage. As multiple players have attested previously, if they do not get to play as a group with their usual wingman (and they didn't get to, the group queue was too low-pop to create matches for a long time) they will rather **** off to another game.

Fix the samey game modes and tighten those up. Fix the over all structure and reward structure of matches. Add respawns .to conquest and incursion in quick play. Take respawns out of skirmish assault and domination in faction. Fix assault so it not skirmish with a base.

[JediPanther]

All of them. Pgi needs to get off its fat *** and do some major work even if they aren't making money right now or they won't make money later when every one finally says **** this game and goes to to other games. They can do their own work data mining our eight years of feedback here. Such a shame this isn't twitter. Echo chamber er er er er

The rolls, and seal clubbing have to end. I don't mind being the ******* with the lrm40s, being called a coward and unskilled because some people don't know how fire support works. What i do mind is the fact that new players are having a really bad time, and even returning players are just getting stomped every other match by people who stomp for a living.

Why there forum warriors who fight to the death too keep quick play group and solo together. They love to stomp and get easy matches. I say take match size down too 8v8 and make another quick play that 2 groups of 4 lances
