    I'm not a Founder, so I guess I miss part of this one ;) Wonder what the Founder-only poll will be though...

    That said, it's an easy one. Can get it brainlessly (30 match score), so it's easy cbills at 15 matches, which I'll definitely be getting anyway, especially since I'm doing my 24-hour stream on Monday into Tuesday ;)

    Haha, flirting with the original backers I see. Amusing. And I see I can grind for a Island cockpit item that I rejected in favour of MC last time around.

    I might take out my Founders Four but I doubt I'll go nuts over contributing hundreds of kills to get a vote in the poll. Solo mode only aswell, hmm.

    If you presume that founders know the game, behave well and will try to impart knowledge in solo games, in theory this could be a attempt to improve quality of solo gameplay.

    Nah, too farfetched. More likely solo mode to prevent ppl from giving free kills to founder lancemates.

    Derp, I didn't notice that it straight up says what the poll is for ;) Unlocking it means players decide what map gets a re-do after River City (which is going to be in the new version starting on June 16!), so that's something. I'll be playing anyway with my streams, so the 20 points will come very quickly at least. /shrug

    At least it's an easy one. All I wanted after the whole CW thing...

    I won't fight for the leaderboard, but I'll certainly pilot the Jenner-D if I drop solo.

    (and nice to hear about the remake of River City, the map sure needs tweaking)

    River City is the smallest map, it needs a change asap.

    Whats the problem, it`s allways fun to nascar some assaults to death after 20 seconds ;)

    But yeah, it`s really small. Can`t wait to see the changes.

    Edit: Just saw, that they want to include physic objects that can get destroyed (Trees, Lamps, etc...). I hope this doesn`t cost too much performance, but crushing some trees that are in the line of sight would be very nice.

    A feature that would be GREAT on the Bog map, but I think there`s a Limit ;)

    Jeej, 5 drops per day! I can manage that after the relationship burden the CW event was,... :D
    I won't bother with the killboards, but one never knows,... my vote would be River City. That map is broken in ways beyond imagination!

    (In all honesty, I'm glad the founders get some kind of love,... it's been rough backing this game at certain points in time,... :cigar:)

    River City is not on the vote, it's already being remake.

    Forest, definitely forest.

    BTW: The matchscore is according to the formula, not the in-game-matchscore.
    some might find it rather difficult to achieve this when dropping against teams.

    The formula only affects those in Founders mechs going for the leaderboards. Those of us without (F) mechs just need a basic 30 match score to get a point. I think the "solo only" part applies only to the Founder leaderboards as well. So you can just play normally and absorb points :D

    Personally, I'd hope they vote for Forest Colony as well. Alpine needs some improvements (it NEEDS something to make the rest of the map worth fighting on), but Frozen City IMO is not as bad...it's a smaller map, and could use some expanding, but the map itself isn't particularly flawed (mainly, the spawns could use some relocating). Forest, meanwhile, hasn't changed since closed beta, it'd be nice to see it...well, be anything other than what it's always been. And like River City, it's never been ideal for 12v12 compared to 8v8.

    Those are two different and independent events.
    The formula only affects those in founder mechs going for the leaderboards.
    The personal challenge is based on the match score (and indeed nothings says it's solo only), for "normal" players as well as for founders in founder mechs.

    => a founder playing solo with a founder mech will earn points for the leaderboard according to the formula and at the same time earn one point for the personal challenge if their matchscore is 30 or higher.

    This event was made just for my unit [BSK] BerSerKer. We are a Founder-based unit and would like to invite anyone who needs help with loadouts or sync drops to hang out with us on comstar na. Friends and anyone else are of course welcome as well, though the mechspecs TS server would be more appropiate and helpful. My prefered loadouts for this event are short-range-only brawlers and then play only conquest mode.

    Too bad we get points only in SOLO drops, as if many Founders weren't playing this game as lone wolfs already. Although a 12 man of founder-only mechs was without ECM. At least they raised the dropship limit to 250 tons after I complained that Founders could not put all 4 of their 'mechs into one dropdeck ..
