Ok here's my Q,

How will it work? Lotsa googling hasn't told me. MAybe we don't know.

We have 'guilds', organizations of players.

When it is released, will we queue as a group of 8 or 16?

If we have three online, do we queue until 5 pugs can be grouped with us then start?

Since we cannot group outside the battles will there be different UI to queue with our friends?

Will we eventually need to be in the same faction, or lone wolf, to group with others?

Will there be a social chat room for 'guilds' outside the battlemaps? I understand teamspeak/vent will cover this but anything in-game?

Will being an officer in a large 'guild' bring benefits beyond the position itself?

Is there any oppportunity for roleplay in this game? A chat room for our organization is step 1, and I know there's no ambulation in this game, but maybe a map (upon release) where we can just fight with and tool around with our members without outsiders involved?

Will we eventually be able to bring up a map of the galaxy and choose specific planets or systems to fight in if we want to aid a specific part of the galaxy?

Are there any big things that will be in this game that are not already in it, aside from our battles affecting the territory control?

In that last question, should that have been Effecting or Affecting? I'm pretty sure its Affecting. It it was E it would need to be 'our battles Effecting change in territory control?'

Fill me in!

Thanks,

I'll answer what I can, so here goes.

Currently the game is running with the basics. Maps, mechs and Matchmaker.
The overall meta game Community Warfare isn't established or in yet. It's on it's way.

We have a capture the base game mode that has been the test bed so far. More modes are incoming and much sought out.

Currently Merc Units and House Units aren't in game. What we have is entirely player driven. They set up their own recruitment, websites, TS, Vent or mumble servers. they run their own drops and such.
Eventually the game will have these built in and they will become the core of community warfare.

Drops are comprised of 2 eight player teams. They can be premade or pug or a mixture. Changes to MM are incoming to seperate these out shortly.

Grouping is accomplished from the Mech Bay social tab up to 8 people. Once grouping is set then the leader pushes the launch button to enter the queu for a fight.

The galaxy and map will be established with CW when it's put in place within the next few months.

The forums have an RP page, and I have heard tell of a few groups that RP so keep your eye peeled for recruiters.

That's about all I've got for now.

Good hunting




Edit: larger group sizes are being worked out. Think the base lance of 4 and it's multiples. So 12 and 16 are in the offing. Guesses put them in with the CW while quick matches will stay 8v8.
