Hello fellow Mechwarriors!

Are we in need / would it be cool to have some kind of 6 Mechs-Free-for-All or a 2v2 or 3v3 Solaris Arena gamemode additionaly to CQ?

This is no suggestion, just want to gather ideas and opinions.

This is needed someday for a variety of reasons.

1) Longevity of the game
2) Keeping non-team players out of my objective games
3) Source of MC drain for tournament entry fees
4) Mostly #2 though.

Solaris!!!!!

But ya...we need 2v2 etc..etc... 3-12 man FFA, and 1v1....I want to duel some mofos.

IIRC Paul or one of the devs have stated that duel type matches are not in the foreseeable future.
It was a resource thing - exactly the same resources are needed to host a full 16 player game.

Awww Duels would have been nice!

Solaris VII is the ideal and logical place to have these events.

They completely existed in the BT universe and I am sure it will be added to the game.

It's map making and match maker that is holding anything like this up, I wouldn't expect it until well into next year or beyond (i.e. the game is going to have to be successful under their current road map before we get 'extras').

No to arenas....god forbid if pgi was as dumb as blizz and adds arenas...

take ur epeen back to where ever it came from that has arenas and stay there

[Thorn Hallis]

My oracle does see Solaris 7 style tournaments happen in the future. This part of the Battletech Universe is simply to good to be ignored.

Solaris is very poplular in the BT/MW world...

It would be optional....So what is the problem?

We aren't talking about arenas inside a typical match....though that does offer another possible game mode/dynamic. It would be something that A LOT of people want...and that would be good for growing the game/keeping it going.

This is a competitive game after all...we are trying to kill each other!!!
As it is in standard matches there is little chance to test your skill 1v1 while fresh, against a fresh opponent or even to fight without interference from others....Maybe that doesn't interest you but it does many people. Its fun to win and win alone based on your personal skill.

You should read this.

Solaris VII is known across the galaxy for its 'Mech fights. Gamblers place exorbitant amounts of money on longshot bets, and fortunes are won and lost daily. Solaris City, in particular, hosts six major arenas and numerous MechWarrior stables. Every year there is a Grand Tournament, which culminates with the naming of the year's champion (notable champions include Gray Noton and Kai Allard-Liao).

We just need a general arena 1v1/2v2/4v4/8v8/12v12 gamemodes. We also need a way to choose our opponents.

I would be happy with the above, and maybe private lobbies too

These are what the devs specifically said they were not planning for, as it takes server resources just to have people screwing around with their buddies.

PGI must be low on server resources if they cant do what we we had in mech3 & mech 4. Almost like technology is devolving.

I'm fine with a private host. We could just have someone host it, there are no stats that should be reported etc. Hard to give a really good test on some tactics etc. Plus when we start getting clans involved, I'm sure they will want to do Trials of Position.
