It does not seem we are getting 3 x Cbills and XP rewards. I just had a match and did 1300 damage and only got 800 XP. Does not seem right or am I missing something?

I really like 8v8 with one mech chassis only, or perhaps that start with a certain letter? So like, Victor/Vindicator/Vulcan/Viper only, that sort of thing? Could be a little silly I suppose, but that's what the event queue is for.

[Centurion Petreus]

Ah, ... the Event Queue:
where Comp Players go to vent their frustration with Faction Play, lol!

[CombatWombatXL]

8v8, groups 1-3, light mechs only, drop deck, 50% increased speed, unlimited ammo, cbill/xp boost, thin crust, pepperoni, extra sauce, well done. Thanks!

They come to event queue looking for new victims since most mid to low level players have given up on FW as it is just getting stomped by groups of high tiers over and over and over.

[DJ Kakumei X]

EQ FP
No groups(nobody likes to run FP because getting dropped randos vs entire comp team)
Seige Only

Brawl Only EQ
No weapons that have Max Range over 1000(exception LB-10/20)

Its Winter(well in the northern hemisphere) so a no heat EQ also could work as well.

[BlueDevilspawn]

Hi PGI it looks like the even queue tab just disappeared.

As we're heading into the weekend, could we please have it reactivated as noted for the rest of the event week? Thanks

[siskokidd]

stock mechs please! drop decks other than the standard 285 tons

[siskokidd]

no ghost heat could make for some interesting builds (direstar???)

[CwStrife]

So did PGI just give up on this event as well? Just randomly ends with no statement? Come on PGI whats going on over there...? So far QP is still king these events are just beyond lackluster, finally when they are willing to take requests they go silent.

[Roodkapje]

Is this a hint for some new GUI stuff for let's say Omnipod IS Mechs ??

Or is it some kind of MWO + MW5 mashup ?!?!

5x Cbills, I need 14 Million C-bills to put a down payment for a clan mech.

You poor soul...

We just had a lot of C-Bill Loot during the Holidays : Did those not help you at all ??

Event queue servers are so bad its just a waste of time. I have 340 ping to na servers from aus in eq and the best ping I have seen from any player was in the 70s. This game mode is actually unplayable.

Feel free to move to Europe or USA or Canada and live without all kinds of scary insects for the rest of your life !!!

Tarzan of Barsoom, on 24 January 2024 - 12:05 PM, said:

How about an event that separates by skill or tier?

There is no such mechanism in MWO anymore... PSR and the MatchMaker are useless and will not be fixed according to information posted in 2023 !!!

It is no fun for a tier 4 player like me to go drop and get farmed by the comp teams, especially several groups of them on one team.
That is why I don't play Faction Warfare anymore.

That's the wrong way of looking at things!

The real problem is that a lot of players have no idea how to play this game after all of the years that this game exists and need some serious education about it !!!

Ask yourself :
- Are you REALLY a Tier 4 Player ?!
- Was your team any good everytime you lose ?!
- Did the PSR system reward or punish you accordingly ?!

And so on...

Do we have to mount some ammo to take advantage of unlimited ammo, or does it assume unlimited ammo for every gun mounted?

Woodio, on 24 January 2024 - 01:06 PM, said:

I'm getting kicked from the game for invalid loadout, so I'm guessing you have to equip >0 ammo. This should be explained before queuing.

Maybe say equipped ammunition does not get consumed instead of infinite ammo.

Simple math my guy :

Unlimited x Nothing = Nothing
Unlimited x 0,5 Ton Ammo = Unlimited Ammo

Not that hard, right ?!

First match on the 3rd EQ and hit a tryhard 3-man.

If more players were that "tryhard" then this game might actually be enjoyable instead or one big gamble everytime you start the game and hope to have some fun instead of stomp after stomp and almost ZERO CLOSE BATTLES !!!

Just a slow boring stomp since it was dropdecks.

Dropdecks extend the horror mentioned above and if you leave you get punished additionally : YAY!!!

I wouldn't have a problem with groups... for "Solaris" Event Queue (even if it's not Solaris maps/modes).

With smaller team sizes, larger groups present the issue of unbalancing matches way worse than Quick Play, especially without Tier Gating.

There's a reason Group Queue died, and Faction Play is a carcass of a game mode.

For those folks that want to group up big, let them have a taste of this. I guarantee most "beer league" groups will regret it. Believe me, I would have no problem playing with a decent 8-man and stomping the "beer league" groups if that is what they want. It'd be boring AF, but hey eventually we'd get stomped by an even better group!

I think for the sake of semantics and in the spirit of having fun, keep the sweaty stuff for "Solaris" EQ and keep non-"Solaris" Event Queue with smaller groups (8v8 max 2, 10v10 max 3).

My beef with Group Drops is that the amount of CLUELESS players RISES and does not LOWER sadly !!!

So if you have a Group Drop in your team that makes the difference between losing and winning instead : Lucky you!

How about Escort mode for an event queue period?

That just might be the mode that could teach all those Rambo's out there to stick together with their team and focus fire instead of facing instadeath all alone !!!

How many games did I not play where I basically created miracles compared to the rest of my team and the PSR system be like : No decent awards for you!

That's a good thing!

Maybe those players will finally realize who the real problem is and UP their skillZ in the future!

As in 8 x ER LL Dire Wolf build ??

I have that build available at all times and it works just fine even without silly modifiers active !!!

Since I left the game before Faction Play and returned after Scouting was removed, I vote for Scouting.
