Don't worry this is not another anti-pug/ pro-premade thread.

For those people who usually have a group of players of 8 or more people, a group of us on the EU server found a great way to still game together. As has been mentioned before in another topic, all we do is create two or three 4 man groups in a single dropship then launch simultaneously. We did not worry about configuring our mech to a specific drop allowance, we simply took what we wanted to play.

Before the hotfix we managed about 4 out of 5 drops together, including those where we played against each other, which we the most fun!

After the patch the probability dropped considerably that we would team up. In most cases we were fighting against the other group in our dropship. The great advantage to this is not only can you test our skills against your friends, but you are assured a damned good fight, as they want to crush you as much as you do them.

We had great fun all day, give it a try, you may find the 4 man experiment isn't so bad after all.

And to the people who got offended when we announced we were an 8 man premade, it was simply a warning to play smart and use teamwork, we did not mean to suggest we were better players.

Yup, as one of those testing this it does work providing both lance commanders have a similar ping.

S!

It was a true LOL galore on TS and lot of fun :) After that I tried PUG games and it was pure hell. Chickens with heads chopped off could hit and coordinate better, sad but true.

We had mucho fun with this today, even when we ended up getting put against each other. Made the match that much more interesting getting to kill/be killed by people we're normally playing along side of :) :lol: :lol:

I approve of this party method!

Yeah, I saw you guys on TS and I thought that was precisely what you were doing. :)

Good fun. (and it's not like PUGs have the excuse that 8-man premades are responsible for every 8-0 roll anymore anyway :lol: )
