Group Queue Tonnage Changes

Greetings MechWarriors,

Tonnage values for the Group Queue have been adjusted as of this morning.

The Maximum Tonnage available for Group sets between 3-10 players has been lowered, while an effort has been made to keep a closer average tonnage per player as Group sizes increase. For Group sets of 7-10 players, the Minimum available Group Tonnage has also been lowered.

There were a few goals behind these changes:

 Most simply, to reduce the amount of tonnage on the battlefield for groups of 3-10 players.
• To keep the tonnage ratio closer together as the Group increases in size.
• To keep 2-player Groups as the most versatile and least restricted.
• To evaluate the results of these changes, in the wild, on the resulting amount of overall firepower and its effect on matches.

This is the first Group Tonnage change in some time, but we will monitor the results of these latest changes and adjust if needed.
