I think it would serve multiple purposes.
1. It would allow smaller corporations not yet able to participate in PC to train up for it.
2. Clear out some of the pub stomping.
3. Help provide better battles outside of PC as its a crapshoot right now in pub matches. If you are rolling with a good squad you can make the opposing team of randoms tap out pretty quick.
In my opinion a reworked Faction Warfare would be perfect for this. Let corps choose a side a reap the benefits of LP. To me this is a no brainer. |

Try stacking squads in the Faction Warfare mercenary battles - that's what they're there for. |

Yeah, it's a pain in the ass and takes too long to team deploy that way. It's possible for sure, but it's not reliable to keep rolling through battle after battle. |

Yes... but definitely limit this to faction warfare.
Pubstomping IB is bad enough when you get cycled in with a full squad of [insert corp here]. So limiting this to an 'elect in' system would really help. I also think that FW matchmaking needs to be revamped quite a bit.
Instead of looking for battles and join them specifically, should just be IB but with 4 options: Caldari, Amarr, Minmatar, Gallente. And you automatically join the next available battle on that side, no matter the game mode or attack/defense. |

Exactly, it should be separate.
In my opinion they'd be able to shelve the matchmaking upgrade because it would be taken care of here. |

Definitely sounds like a good idea, but I'm not sure it would be less complicated than just fixing the matchmaking system. Seems to me you'd have to add some kind of squad-linking feature, and a separate Instant Battle mode, etc...unless I'm not getting what you're saying. I would definitely welcome any change that keeps me from getting stomped as much in public matches, though. :-) |

I'd think it would be easier to add team deploy than implement matchmaking |

That thread is definitely more detailed in implementation than mine!
We need something. Just played 5 games with some guys wanting to join the corp and we rolled the other team within minutes.
I'm not saying I'm awesome, but a good battle is hard to come by these days. |

I feel your pain. Close fights are getting alot more rare. We need a "deploy as team" function. |

I'd hate to be on the other side of it every time. This is my first FPS to get into online. I tried CoD, but I was so far behind the curve I felt like I'd never be able to compete. I played maybe 50 games and gave up. The curve is much more steep here.
The top priority for CCP (besides terrain glitches and laggy PC) should be finding a way to "protect" new players from getting crushed into oblivion game after game. The vets are going to get bored (many already are) if they can't get more battles while grinding that are worthwhile. |

Roll of the dice to see if you are on right side or not.
Yea no, premade teams. The second they put in faction warefare they should have allowed premade teams, why they didn't is byond me, so far its questinably different from pub skimerish other then harder to get into and find match. |

"deploy as team" in FW matches would give us bittervets our bloody matches and new players queing into pub matches would be insulated from the pubstomps. |
