Please vote with the knowledge that Community Warfare is going to happen some time. Supposedly, when official launch occurs, Community Warfare will signal that. However, in the mean time with the amount of bugs the devs are feverishly working through and fixing and the lack of being able to choose your enemy group when doing premade drops - would you purchase MC say for a mech, premium time, or cockpit decorations/camo? After CW is integrated, I would see that the Battle Lobby is used for other things than selecting a solar system to fight on to expand/defend territory.



Also to this caveat, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, no separate servers. Keep everything integrated in one community, one server, one overall master plan. Given the size of the 3048-3049 map, there's PLENTY of space to keep this game on one server fighting for galactic dominance.

There should be a general battle lobby before and after every match. This could go a long way to help pugs learn strategy beyond, "Plan?" "Stick together!". Obviously, a battle lobby would also be very helpful to teams and organized players as well.

What I would expect is something similar to League of Legends' match lobby.

• Your teams mechs and loadouts are displayed, and you can switch your mech to something else in your garage or pick from trials to complement your team.
  
• A commander can be chosen in the lobby, and he or she would have access to the battle grid to place markers and develop strategy before the game starts.
  
• Teammates could communicate with eachother, but not the opposing team.
  
• Depending on the queue the other team's mechs could be hidden, or a open draft could be used. Both teams see each others mechs and players alternate turns to pick their mechs.
  
• The post game lobby would display more detailed statistics of the match, and players could chat with each other.

Not sure what you mean by "Would you pay into this Free-to-Play game for more functionality?"

I voted no. Because while I would pay for mechs, premium time, and vanity items, I would never pay for more "functionality." As a free-to-play game all of the "functions" of the game should be free. Bonuses like faster exp or a quick mech purchase are just bonuses. I can pay for them or I can earn them through play time. In my mind you mean, "would I pay for access to a battle lobby?" I don't think its fair to expect anyone to pay for a "function" of the game,like a lobby in a free-to-play game. Maybe I am misunderstanding your question, but that's my 2 cents on the matter.

Excuse my Ignorance on the subject, but, I have no idea what you mean by "battle lobby"

Perhaps if you gave us some kind of Idea what this Battle Lobby was supposed to do, we could give you some feedback. I've played MMO's for years and i have never heard this term.Granted this is my first strictly PvP MMO, so It could be just my lack of experience in the genre rearing its ugly head.

So again, i ask you....WTF is a "Battle Lobby" ?

Edit : seriously dude , we arent mind readers ,would I pay for more functionality? what?? Can i suggest that if your going to make a poll, maybe you should explain youself better. maybe if you do, you'll get more than 7 votes on your future polls

Red3,

I realize you're trying to troll me. I will resist the urge to respond in kind. However, to answer your question please click: link. A picture is worth a thousand words. Write your own description to what a battle lobby is with the images provided.

It would look something similar to this, but obviously tailored to this game.

Totally agree...games end way too abruptly. No chance to congratulate team mates or anything!
