Should have left this as an optional (ie, EVENT TAB) instead of forcing it on everyone, especially while loot bags is still running. Few players to shoot screws up the match scores (less damage, less match score). I do NOT approve of this.

Current experience has been "Cockpit Shot" Warrior Online
Genuinely have never seen so many cockpit kills...

Won't be playing 'til the comp players are shuffled out of QP and its back to 12v12 tho. Don't want to play against Sweatlord5000 y'know?

[FRAGTAST1C]

Pretty sure PGI will take the "data" from this and say, "No, see? We were right all along. Groups and Solo play well together in 12v12 only! Making 8v8 with a group of 3 won't matter 'cause 8v8 doesn't work AT ALL!"

*sigh*

[Czerno Alpha]

This is a terrible event. Most of the available maps are designed around 12 v. 12, which makes the current 8 v. 8 really, really unworkable. Every game I have played so far has been a one sided nightmare.

[JLaw1]

My first 8v8 was a 60-ton heavy (me), a single DWF, and a mixture of mediums and an entire light lance.

We fought, seven assaults and one heavy. I played three more matches, I think, and the weight disparity was obvious in each one. And since communication is...spotty at best, it made an already frustrating solo playing QP experience even worse.

I think I've made six total posts (this one included) on these forums since I played back in the beta, I felt the need to add my voice to the others of mounting dislike of...whatever this event is for, because it's not any comp scene I know of.

This is idiotic. Did anyone think this through? A magor shift in game play. It's digital molestation.

[ShooteyMcShooterson]

Where's the event part?

There's no event queue, this is affecting QP, and there's no 8v8 event listed in the Special Event Browser.

I think it would work... if there was almost any kind of matchmaking or balancing applied. All the random janks in MM of the already randomly unbalanced 12v12 are less smoothed in 8v8.

The real kicker for me at the moment though is queue times are not improved. If it wasn't for the lootbags I wouldn't be bothered, and since the return on them is 33% lower at the moment even that is wearing this quickly.

Matchmaking? Man, I'm pretty sure it's announced as a group limit of 3 and I've been seeing groups of 4 regularly lol. They couldn't even apply the restriction correctly for this "event".

Agreed on that one, it seems like the group limit of 3 ppl doesnt work.

[Davion Carlyle]

There's nothing wrong with trying new things, but to make it mandatory is the most frustrating part.

All I wanted to do was just play QP, win or lose I don't care. The big maps and lots of blessed blues and raging reds to battle together is why I love it.

Now when I see 8v8 in a meta that's already pinpoint damage heavy, the interest is immediately lost, this isn't it.

This event is not fun

8vs8 sucks, matches are to fast. Snipers are not so important.
Pirania is making worse content / events - in recent years. Lots of my friends left MWO because of non-mechwarrior "feel" anymore.

[Nevermore223]

NO TO THIS RUBBISH....QUOTH THE RAVEN...

Why Pirania is forcing us to play 8vs8???? I don't like 8vs8. Each new event/content MWO is becoming less in Mechwarrior-style.

Stop 8vs8
Why are you ruining the game?

[Saved By The Bell]

Looks like, Its the same, like the last time. I have memories.

As a player with ****** builds and non-fully upgraded mechs, what should I do...

[MechWarrior2150582]

8vs8 sucks - no new content, no new event queue, ppl are forced to play it, it changes QP game dynamics.

Please end this. Kindly. Now.

[Shadovar-Assassin]

How about game modes that only allows one weight class, ie 12v12 but using light mechs only, mediums only, heavys only or assaults.
Now that would be more fun and interesting!

[Glymbol]

I played some games, they are starting faster, it seems for me that they are a bit more "balanced", that is, I play mainly with players from my tier. The game frame rate is better too. There are still stomps of course. For me problem is 4 man groups of very good players, but that is tier 1 problem, in lower tiers the game should be more even I think. Another problem is disconnected players.

So far 8v8 is better in my opinion.
