I haven't really touched mechwarrior in awhile but I do jump on when they have challenges for free mech bays or mechs or well anytime they have a challenge. Seeing that the game hasn't progressed that much in terms of usability. I figure what do you guys wish PGI would get done or focus on?

1. Doing something similar to planetside 2 and giving people the right to vote on what gets focused on during development to really gauge better what the community wants.

2. Fixing UI 2.0 be it the mechlab or your inventory showing mechs you don't own etc etc.

3. Increasing cbill earnings to the 8v8 days, I think that most people calculated that it was a 30% reduction to I'd be happy with a 30% increase.

For me personally I just can't get into mechwarrior with UI 2.0 and there doesn't seem to be any staying power since the cbill nerf.

-Removal of Ghost Heat
-Heat penalties
-Revamp of heat scale
-Revamp of weapon convergence
-Inclusion of alt. ammo types
-inclusion of exotic/rare weapons/equipment -> Binary Lasers, Thumpers, targeting computers, etc.

You won't see these, sadly.

Also, I forgot a HUGE one

-> Crossfire/SLI support for multiple GPU's. This game is still really CPU intensive.

Mine is real simple: Get rid of that fog crap in the mech lab. Half the time, you can't read what the white letters are when the fog rolls in. Small gripe, but fixable by just moving the Info box to the top of the screen.

I want knockdowns and collisions.
I want repair and rearm (in a reasonable manner, one that favors mediums)
I want non-instant-pinpoint.
I want asymetric mission objectives.
I want overpowered Clan mechs balanced by asymetric warfare.

And most of all: I want a game that at least feels like Battletech, not some generic mecha game with robots that (sometimes vaguely) resembles Battletech mechs.

I know, I know, none of this will ever happen, but I can still dream, can I?

In no particular order of merit.

1 SRM's to register every hit. (reasons obvious)

2 customisation to be drastically reduced .

This would mean there is a point to owning lots of different mechs for weapons variation, and a point in owning mechs like the panther which is DOA in currant format, as any light mech can run a PPC, (the spider only fits the LPPC and not intoduced until 3067) it would also mean the hated heat scale could be removed as the over kill builds would be snuffed out, and or limited to the timeline when they get introduced.

3 Remove all mechs I don't own from my mech bay including trial

I have over 120 mechs the only reason I ever used them again was due to the dumb achievement why do I need to have them clutter up my mech bays

4 building cars trees etc destrucable or at leash showing damage (forget ferros I want my mech made out of that red four door family saloon).

5 Higher levels of collision damage and a form of DOA

I would go the whole hog and ask for knock downs, if the PvP crowd were actually all mature enough to not abuse it, sadly that's not the case and its to easy to grief people with and would be impossible for PGI to police, but the level of damage contact causes at the moment is pathetic, and a form of DOA would give further reasons to load more jump jets, higher you fall the more damage


6 AMS not to shoot through walls, caves, someones great aunt, o.k..maybe the great aunt as its canon :)

Here are just a few minor wish-list items:

1 - PPC damage arcing.
2 - Dynamic weapon precision modification, based on throttle %, stability state (JJing, in the air, recent received Impulse, etc.), and especially heat %.
3 - Dynamic scaling heat penalties to speed, maneuverability, weapon cycle times, and weapon precision.
4 - ECM and electronic warfare rework into an interactive set of soft counters (bonuses and penalties) instead of hard counters (on/off switches).
5 - Smoothed out Mechlab, especially with the group interface.
6 - "Dropship" mode for launching (select up to four mechs; pick one after the map has been revealed).
7 - 1v1 mode.
8 - Lance v Lance mode.
9 - Customizable pilot graphics (colors, cooling suit patterns, etc.).
10 - Customized and expanded experience trees, both for mechs and for the pilot more generally, as well as pilot gear upgrades (cooling vest/suit, neurohelmet, etc.).
