Played my five games, redeemed those rewards, and left.

Just in time before premades start farming.

Not many people are willing to play the Faction Play.

Did you seriously drop a Faction Play event in the middle of a freaking loot bag event? Do you even know how the match score is calculated in drop deck modes? Those events are going to cannibalize each other's population. Everybody loses.

Its look like sick circus - same players exploiting FP, killing it again and again, like bot fly larva on dead squirrel bodies , their move even grow up but squirrel (FP game mode) already dead , idk how you planning invite MORE new players in this , if you already spat in their faces with this event.

Hmmm yes I love 6ERLL Stalker/Battlemaster spam from the IS side. Or the 4BLC Chargers now I guess.
You could bring at least 2 (or even 3 if you're willing to only use 3 slots) of those things thanks to a 265t drop deck.
Meanwhile clans are stuck with a 255t drop deck and there isn't really as much of a dominant picks like that.

I think that the Clans have some 'Mechs that can spam Clan ER Large lasers or Heavy Large lasers.

Closest to mind is the DWF-A (E.HSL+1 so you can use 3C-ERLL+HAG40 or the like, 100t, slow, meh hitbox) or really just mixedpods DWF hardpoint stacking and using chainfire (so a lot less accurate/longer exposure needed)
Then there's the HLL HSL+1 Executioner (low mounts, 95t) and MAD-IIC (good, closest Stalker analogue, but still not as good as the Stalker, also it's mostly on the arms) I guess you could try the E.HSL+1 Gargoyle or chainfire WHMIIC if you really need one.
There's also the 4C-LPL RFLIIC I guess, but it's a really slow heavy and isn't particularly durable since it's a heavy either. Oh and the HSL+1 Stormcrow now, and that ERLL quirk JJ Nova Cat.
Yeah, there's just not that many options, most of them are on the higher tonnage too.
I mean really, you can stick three 4BLC Charger+a Flea/stealth SRM Commando (for generator bombing) on IS right now and carry Siege-Attack on IS.

A shameless plug on the HSL Quirk List posting: Posted Image
https://mwomercs.com...-hsl-quirk-list

Grand Summoner: SMN-II-P (SO8= Energy Weapon HSL +1), @81kph... fires 3x energy weapon + ballistic weapon!
[Note: No JJ though, if you wish to keep this SO8 bonus]

Highlander IIC: HGN-IIC, with +1 Laser Weapon, up to 58kph... also fires 3x Laser weapon + ballistic weapon!
With JJ too! Posted Image

Pick your poison Posted Image

Not to be nitpicking but if you post a page would it make since to post something about it column headers latest news (not the rotating banner at the top) you click "read more " take you to a page with a link to another page not any thing useful like criteria for the drop deck etc

So far I’ve done 12 FP drops and I haven’t experienced what you describe. In one match the Opfor had a six-man but all my other matches were a nice mixed bag of experienced and new players. Very little salt and wait times were reasonable.

I lost both matches where I was on the Clan side but I attribute this more with the difficulties an attacking team has on Siege, where the defence has a natural advantage, but the games can still go both ways.

Personally, I’ve found this event to be the most pleasant experience in FP since I started playing this game.

Good hunting,
CFC Conky
