Olden age mechs. Stuff like crusader, trebuchet, catapult, javelin. Names like that. I think it'll be fun

Heavy sale please

Can we get more of the 'oddball' EQ game modes (infinite jump/infinite ammo/no heat etc) please?

Dump the Scrapyard map. Probably the worst map for anyone with a visual impairment, that or change the atmospherics and add some colour/definition in that doesn't require manually changing contrast & brightness on the monitor to make it even remotely playable.

Review the Solaris City map and remove the multitude of trap points created by bridges dropping to the ground or being too narrow an access way to get a heavy mech through. Same as the trap point under the bridge close to spawn point on Canyon that can block any tallish mech.

Here is my Idea,

10% Armor
No Heat
Frozen City Night Classic
125% Speed
Mediums and Heavies
5 or 10 Minute match time.

The Idea is that you would be able to do matches very quickly and still get plenty of damage for Match Score.

Looking forward to it, thanks!

Please can the Champion Invictus be on sale, please?

Ideas for EQ:
4v4 IS vs Clan assaults on Canyon
2v2 IS meds Vs Clan meds on Steiner
I find your lack of 'balance' disturbing....

I like Marauders. I also think it is still close enough to Halloween to justify a Black Marauder themed event queue event... somehow. Only Marauders (standard, II, IIC)? Scrapyard and heavies only (dark paint encouraged)? Extra speed and armor in either case? No heat/night vision if that's possible...

Also really liked the 3v3 mediums event we just had; more smaller matches like that doing other weight classes would be great. Seeing the test maps get some use was also good fun.

Original Polar Highlands Assault 8v8 either mixed bag single drop or full drop decks (can't remember if you could have drop decks on this maps as wasn't using them when it was 'upgraded') Best open country map there was and would like to see it's return, even if only for 12 hours. Make a Grumpy Bear a little bit happier ;)

How about an event "in the dark"? So the setting has to be darkness, low visibility, bad targeting, gotta have good line of sight, or tag, or NARC, to get your mid- or long range missiles to hit. To perk it up, add an armor buff to make it even harder to get the kills sorted.

Could we get Heavies bundled into the mech sales? Seems they're the one weight class that got left out of recent sales the past month and change.

As for game mode (If this is possible)
8v8
Domination
Drop Decks (With standard weight limit)
No weight class restrictions
Map - whatever works
Domination capture time increased to 2 minutes from 1

Event idea: 1.Stock builds only. 2. Battle of Tukayyid Clan vs IS 3. Last man Standing however many players no teams last survivor wins the longer you survive the better the price.

I'd be more excited about EQ events if it did not mean the matchmaker in quickplay was turned off and quickplay wasn't therefore complete nonsense while events are running...

How about banning ECM Posted Image? Allow us to bask in the glory of pure fun. If you want to make it even more fun, also ban Gauss and ER Large Lasers

Oh oh, or make lockons times instant. Possibly in conjunction with the above.

And/or reduce backpedaling speed to a crawl or even disable it entirely. Make every match like the intro to a Mechwarrior game or one of the cinematics.



Or remove the cooldown on artillery so that you can actually enjoy getting the perfect arty shot off without the 100% certainty that the millisecond you get an absolute one in a million strike positioning, someone on your team is going to drop smoke on a wall two feet in front of their face.

Crank the fire rate up on PPCs or better yet, RACs, to a crazy amount.

Remove the charge time on gauss (but maybe not HAGs).

Randomize warhorn sounds

Patch the knockdown code back in and allow us to bask in the laggy jank. See if you can get Paul back for some hearting.

Make NARC beacons last the entire match

8 vs 8 light mechs with drop decks and unlimited jump jets, on whatever map supports it.
For mech sales, how about 50% off all Inner Sphere mechs the first half of the event, then 50% off all Clan mechs for the second half. That way, everyone has the chance to buy what they want at half price.

That's basically impossible. There's limitations. Also, instant lock would not be fun
