I really want to be excited for this launch, truly I do but...

With no real additional features its just like any other patch you've done. A while back I was hyped for launch since I thought CW and the UI update would be in and polished. Even if they weren't polished I'd still have hope and feel that progress has been made.

To me personally this is a rather disappointing and depressing launch.

[Kain]

Alright....what a great memorable launch day...
And all the exciting features are coming next year apparently..

Alas, just keep waiting for each patch and play some matches along the way...

The bevy of unexpected launch day surprises has filled me with a vim and vigour the likes of which I have not experienced these many decades.

Haha had me laughing so hard!

Multiple accounts maybe?

That would be "genius"... (unless it's for family members)

So we pass some arbirary "begin" or "live" milestone - but what does that really mean to those who make up this community and those who truly enjoy this game? Just another patch day on the surface.. perhaps some splash, but not much in the way of structural differences.

I see the game environment as an ongoing living experience.. a Journey... not a destination.... for those of us who are enjoying the trip.... please lets make the scenery, the experience, better? We've been driving along the beach for too long, we know that the water is on the right, and trees on the left... Upcoming snowy mountain in the distance... Oh... look! Another crashed drop ship... starting to get tedious, pointless, is this really a gameish... ? I dont want the end result to feel like I'm grinding "World of Warcraft" Dailies.

Y'all have us on this ride.... time to show us what it can do!

UI 2.0 in 2014 - is that correct?!

seems so!

[SweetJackal]

So, is there going to be a Launch Trailer or something? Some news pumped out into the media to get this event out into the public stream rather than the closed communities that circle this site?

[Silent Hunter]

I like how everyone that is negative about the launch hasn't actually downloaded the latest patch yet. So all of you, what's the winning lottery numbers for this week? You seem to be able to know EVERYTHING before anyone else!

[Fabo1985]

i bet jimmy kimmel is responsible for this right?

How exactly did you spend 800? I bought everything they had, always had premium, bought every Hero, and I am at about 400? How in hell did you get to 800? I am really curious. Not that your other points are invalid, just curious about this one.

Like I said, time is more valuable to me than money. I religiously convert XP. I've even been known to buy a mech for MC and scrap it for Cbills so I can get that big shiny engine I want for my flavor of the day without having to grind for it. Grinding is lame. I've been known to buy a mech and instantly master it with GXP. Hell, I've elited an entire group of mechs just so I could master one.

$120 Founders
$80 Phoneix
$40 Sabre
$100 - 1 year premium
$400 - 4x 25,000 MC purchases.

Ok so it's technically $740, I exaggerated $60 of it.

I'm sorry you didn't give me a good enough excuse to give you my money. I wish you didn't even announce a launch until you got the key features sorted..
Anyways, I am not spending a single penny on this game until I see something like CW, UI 2.0 and all the major features we are anticipating; that's if I will still be playing this game by the time they are out.

Bear in mind, many of us are here because we are loyal to the BT franchise otherwise we wouldn't care about this game at all.

Operation 24

Celebrate Launch and the fielding of 24 `Mechs on the battlefield with Operation 24! Play any 24 games (win, lose or draw) between September 17th and October 1st (10am PDT) to receive a cool in-game “Operation 24” hanging cockpit item automatically.

I just counted again and it looks like there are only 21 'Mechs currently in the game (chassis that is). So where does the 24 'Mechs thing come in? Are they surprising us with 3 new mechs? Or did I somehow miscount...

[sirius89]

WHAT AN AMAZING LAUNCH!Congrats on patching the Beta sign away i guess lol.

Gonna play GTA V now.Coming back in about a year when UI 2.0 and CW is here...............maybe.

[Pugnax]

I am quite excited, I've been playing for a year and still find the game as fun as it was in closed beta. I look forward to what the future holds!

[Ghost Story]

The question that comes to my mind is, "Why dose PGI Not want to make money on their Launch day?"

Think about it... this is their big launch day and what sort of sale do they bring forth.... the 3rd Orion based sale in a month.

You could have done something like:

- for 3 days only +50% MC!
- A & B Hero Mechs 30% off (like your last one that was way better)
- for 3 days only all mechs are 30% off MC Price

I could go on but the common theme here is that the orion sale only applies to those who are still on the fence while my examples applies to anyone who is willing to open their wallet.

12 versus 12 = 24.
