Cadets and Trial Mechs from Faction play!

[Trucker Wifey]

Well, yes to the trial mechs, no to the cadets. Reason, they are looking to experience the game in it's entirety... How else is one going to consider continuing to play MWO if they can't experience it all!?

[Ignatius Audene]

See no problem in locking cadets out. In some f2p you play first matches vs bolts and then join pvp! Let them get grip with the controls at least before jumping in cw (the butthurt will still be real). Its 25? matches. But in fact blocking trials works better. For 4 own mechs u need faaaaaaaar more then 25 matches.

[Bistrorider]

No, they can't remove cadets and trial mechs from Faction because this way some will not have option to fiddle outcome of a match.

so uhh.... how exactly are you going to have them play?

[ccrider]

No offense to any of you but the time for having a gate on FP ended with CW 2.5. There is nowhere near the population to kick out anyone from FP. Even in NA primetime, with cadets included, there are about 3 matches going at a time. Start banning people and we will fall to 1 or 2 in peak time and just bleed even more players.

bsssssssssst reactor online, weapons online, BRAIN ONLINE

if you remove trial mechs from FP you AUTOMATICALLY remove cadets from FP, because they will never have the money to buy 4 mechs if they are cadets

[Grus]

Yes to both.

No reason for them to be in the most min/max game mode MWO has to offer.

[Fae Puka]

So then.

"We don't want new people to test the waters with what the game has to offer across the various modes - go away!"

"Please PGI - can we have more people to play CW?"

Get a grip. Anyone who tries and stays playing in MWO as a whole is welcome. Cadets will learn the fastest and in the best way by playing with co-ordinated drops in CW rather than Nasc . . err I mean Quick Play and as such, more likely to invest time and money in building up a decent set of mechs to get more out of CW and QP.

The real test is how the experienced players integrate the new ones into the game., but then again, it has always been how the experienced players interact with others that has caused the most harm, whereas the few who have taken the new players under their wings have probably most good.

Choice is yours.

Problem is when you're handicapped by one or more players WHO HAVE NO F****** IDEA WHAT THEY ARE DOING, its a big issue. Letalone if they bring trial mech that are not optional configurations for FP, letalone quick play, vs a full team thats has premo mechs lined up and know how to play FP.... its not a good experience for the side with the cadets. If it was ALL cadets on both sides then sure, add a coach option (like Dota2) and you might have a winner. But this won't happen due to PGI's miss management of this game.

[Ignatius Audene]

u will land on polar with trial atlas etc... so nothing to be gained there.

4 owned mechs i rly not a high bar.

Never wrote against new players.

[Ignatius Audene]

As an experienced premade u can get away with crazy stuff (like spider rush first wave etc.). We are talking about starters.
