[Feedback] Battle of Tukayyid Details

Only managed to pug one game so far, which was a close loss.

 

@Aylek I just drop called 12 pugs against an 8 and 4 man so....... we won thankfully and timed them out after trashing their first three waves and most of their fourth.

Miracles do happen but it was like herding children.

 

12 games in one day but admittedly I had plenty of time doing other stuff. Much faster as a large group, awful as a solo. Overall we won 10 of 12 and those were BMU and a 12 man so not bad.

Edit: Can't understand how clans are doing far better asking around as people are winning a lot on the IS side,

 

I've seen clan win %'s as high as 77%, and as low as 30%. It just depends on who has a premade running, as usual. Just got stomped as Clan, but been the stomper many times thus far too.

 

So... my first few CW drops were done today. My main thought is that PGI needs to really put more money into the server structure so that there's not this insane wait time for a game. I waited a half hour once, but I had people complaining about like 2 hour waits.

They also need to rework the queue itself so that someone leaving doesn't push the entire group bunch to the back of the line. And being able to chat with the people you'll be dropping with 20 minutes from when you start would help too... it's kind of silly that it wont let you.

All in all, I'm not hugely impressed. The amount of payoff you get compared to normal games seems to be better most of the time but I'm not sure that the amount of down time is worth it

 

Well in fairness normal community warfare is faster to get in and the rewards work nicely.

 

My unit switched to Steiner when our contract ended. I don't really mind...I love my IS deck, although I subbed out my Raven 3L to get some easy experience for my new GRF-2N And it does VERY well in CW!

 

It even does well on Borean, provided it's the SECOND mech I take out, not the first Got a 7 kill spree in about 45 seconds of my last match by plowing through already-engaged mechs. I don't have double basics, so it still struggles a bit, but it's a fun mech (and that ECM is oh-so-nice)

 

Eh, I like having one close range brawler in my deck now anyway. I run a long range Grasshopper, Panther, and Stalker, so the SRM Griffin is amazing at times.

 

*Sigh* not nearly enough clan people running to make this work well, but at least LFG CW is easy to get into, and it is better than PUG CW (people are using TS sometimes and there is someone trying to get a plan together).


That said, Marik is not going to get into top 3... At least we are in front of those fucking Liaos.

 

I'm honestly considering just asking if it's ok to drop my unit tag and go clan for this, just to get the fast queue times. The waits (and constant resets to the end of the line) are kinda shit.

 

Having some very close matches....

Just heading to my 20th match as not bothered by that 40 prize. Will see how things go as this is booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg...........

 

With a proper queue system it wouldnt be that bad. 7 minutes in now people in our team (Transferring pilot) left and the whole team got reset to place 31 in line (from about 9th).

Maybe for the next contest they can think things throu?

 

A million times this. Also letting the IS have uncontested victories because there is 30 more lances of them than the clan would help. Or if the system could handle it having multiple IS teams drop against the clan teams... because ya know that they IS would

 

The thing that annoys me is that however well the clans attack or the IS defends, the winner will be decided in the minutes prior to event closure,...

 

which seems to depend mostly on the timezone. The clans are never ahead in the morning and are always ahead in the evenings

 

Most EU peeps are IS and most US are Clan, that is why.
Still the main issue here is that there can be only 63 battles at the same time, so until one battleground clears you have to wait in line.
And of course you have to have an opponent.

But if you can i do recommend moving to Clan side, waiting times are almost nonexistent.
