I read the reddit summary of townhall, and there wasnt any new mechpacks announced.
Some of you say, its good. But was there something rly cool/good announced ?....... i cant find it.

The most interesting things I noticed... (still disapointing):

1) CW phase 3 wont solve 12 man unit vs 12 PUGers = ok, still no CW for me in phase 3
2) leaderboard for T1 .... meh , sarlic ? (irony)
3) haloween event with 1/125 chance for TBR (C) - meh
4) 4th game mode - no date - meh
5) SRM changes yeye we know it - no date
6) PSR - it is what it is , later MORE tiers - olalala
7) TBR hero - skinning is the hold up. rly ? DRINK
8) STEAM release date ? Y OFC, 2058.

Thx. overall: nothing new. meh.

I love the people who go watch Town Hall, ignore most of it, than claim it's full of nothing... that or miss the whole point of a town hall. That or think selfishly and do not know or can comprehend how it will apply to new people or other people.

uhm... was there anything in it that wasn't vague or soon?

The only thing that will come it seems is this game/map voting in one of the next patches, the rest is all just overall chat about the game's possible future...

I'm just shaking my head right now. Was hoping for good news before i go to work.

1) They didn't deal with the CW map bottlenecks? No CW for me.
2) Don't care.
3) Ditto.
4) Good.
5) Nice to hear.
6) Don't care.
7) Drink yourself under the table Russ. I don't care.
8) Don't care.

PGI isn't doing much. They got looooads of good ideas out on the forums. They need to hire 2 new staff members for a short period of time to sort through the good and bad ideas.
Then take a close look at the good stuff to see if they can use it.

Did you watch it?

Because I just woke up, I wanted to read something about...but I can find nothing.

Does anyone have news?
I also read that thing in reddit, and it seems this has been a pointless town hall.....

I thought there was lots of interest, especially the following:
  • Russ thinks tonnage per group is working fairly well. But if it fails, Max group of 4 is his ultimate solution.
  • Sean Lang appears to be personally pushing hard for a max group size of 4.
  • Another PTS very soon, try to complete the rebalance before the end of November.
  • Will likely be rewards for participating in PTS, but not in time for tomorrow's PTS.
  • Lots and lots about CW Phase 3... Mercs can only earn Reputation Points, not Loyalty Points. Voting for which planets to attack. Scouting mode with actual consequences on the main battle - battlefield scan, knowledge of enemy Mechs and automated orbital artillery. Units which own a planet can provide incentives to Mercs to defend it. No plan to introduce matchmaking into CW. Leaderboards for CW.
  • Another Tukkayid type event coming for CW before a map reset.
  • Halloween Event this weekend.
  • Map and game mode voting being planned.
  • They want a new 4th game mode for public queue with CW phase 3.
  • Russ doesn't like getting hit with high alpha laser spam.
  • Tweak this upcoming patch for the color selection, to better show Owned Colors..
  • Russ believes PSR is working as intended.
  • Steam Release definitely this year. He won't disclose the date yet. New Packs available on launch.
I found these things to be of interest, personally.

Shall I PM to you or?

I have watched it and I find it as valuable as any... even Russ's attitude to the game/ community that has not been seen before since 2012 as I study psychology...

Thanks for reporting.
Are there dates for all that stuff?
I'm also very interest in the new game mode, I cannot find what they are planning.

None of you find it concerning that the voting system is essentially making the game even more boring and repetitive? We are not only NOT getting a 4th game mode, we are also losing Conquest and some of the least beloved maps for good thru this voting crap.

I'm just going to wait for ngng to put up the podcast to listen to myself. Last time I read one of these summaries it was full of inaccuracies and depressing while the town hall itself was actually pretty good.

Sean Lang can be added to the deadfyre comment as well, if he's pushing for 4 man group sizes.

living proof he has no friends

Given the factors in play, their target for Steam release would logically be in the first 2 weeks of December.

Steam release? Russ: It's happening, it is closing in. No date announced today but they do have a date in mind and locked down.

Baiscly, there is a date. But not announced. Something you see in... Well, every video? Definitly something PGI cannot be attacked.

So does anyone have a summary where the personal bias is not oozing off of every bullet point?

I'd rather read it and make up my own mind without some bitter jaded 'veteran' complaining the game ain't exactly to HIS vision every opportunity they get. Just give me the data, and shove your bias plz D:
