Sure, remove the BattleTech note from the title.

Then remove all the BattleTech IP, and replace it with stuff that is unrelated to Mechwarrior or BattleTech.

Done, problem solved. Close thread.

I don't get it. How is MW:O any less related to battletech than MW3 or MW4 were? None of them are particularly close to the source game, because that is impossible in anything that isn't top down and turn based.

Admittedly, making clan and IS tech identical is dumb, but neither should be better, they should be good at different things (which to a large extent is what we have right now).


None of the MW3/MW4 games specifically stated "A BattleTech Game", nor were they billed as "A thinking man's shooter", or "a FPS mech-sim".

Seriously...you completely get it.

Just replace everything with generic names...it would do this game justice.

MWO requires significant thought to play. Thinking and positioning are the most important parts of MWO. If you aren't thinking, you aren't winning.

Balance changes alone don't change something like what universe the game is set in.

MWO was either not a real Battletech game from the beginning or it still is one, it doesn't suddenly change because of your whining and crying.

If you'll shut the hell up finally then go ahead and cancel every pre-order, I drink your tears of regret for spending ridiculous amounts of money on a game like this.

Ok, so let's assume they replace all the names and assets and call it like you suggest.

Why would it make you happier? Would you like the game better if the names were different?

And if you don't like the game and stop playing it, then what difference does it make to you what name it has?

With all the whining from you in the past I'm amazed you still have "outstanding preorders" to cancel :D

Also I assume you're aware that clans still dominate the competitive metagame, that the strongest IS weapon quirks are being toned down soon, and that the Jenner iic is expected to be the strongest light in the game so far?



I guess you didnt read about what they plan to do to Clan XL. Taking a side torso may be a big deal now.

I agree, this does nothing to make the game better and is just something gyrok is throwing out from a place of spite right now...i think you just need a break from the game man. Go play fallout 4 or something else where you arent so involved in the mechanics and core issues with the game and just have fun for a while.

Come back when some Stoobs are here to flood the threads.....:P

Clan XL nerf is what is sorely needed...its coming apparently.

It wouldn't make him happier. Gyrok is just a nerd raging bitter guy who thinks IS quirks are too OP.

Maybe, but why make a petition unless he wants it to happen?

Seriously, if it makes Gyrok and his ilk stop complaining I'm all for removing the subtitle. Just "Mechwarrior Online" is fine on it's own IMO.

So clear this up for me Gyrok please, tell if i'm understanding this thread correctly: if the subtitle "a battletech game" gets removed you'll be happy and stop complaining amirite?

If we assume the same is true for the other namechange petitioners, it would be a cheap price to improve the forums. I'd break a ******* bottle of my rare merlot vintage just to celebrate. :)

Will things really improve? Or will they just degenerate into the inter-IS cannibalism that existed long before the Clans arrived? :lol:

While I think you are being overly dramatic I do think we should just move the timeline forward instead of doing what we are doing because it just isn't working and only further complicates any future time/tech jumps.

if they can't balance existing tech, how is jumping into the future and MORE tech to balance going to help?

Sounds like being inside a burning building....and your solution is to pour gas all over yourself. :huh:

But c'mon, this is the guy who spent how many months telling us the TWolf and SCrow had been nerfed into oblivion with the laser duration adjustment. I mean, they're just so bad now.......................

Apparently all Clanners have quite the game because Clan Tech Crutch no longer dominates the IS in every conceivable way (just most) if Gyrok and crew are to be believed.....so if they all quite, they'll never know that the Clans are gone, and so won't need a refund! Brilliant!

Well, if PGI does grant Hillsam's demand to remove the Clans, the best move is to stay at least until refunds are given ... plus interest of course. :D

Can we not just advance the timeline to bring about IS tech that is actually equivalent to the Clan Tech out now?



Where exactly on the BT timeline is IS tech ever equivalent to Clan tech? Just curious, because Clans have always kept their tech advantage, even moving into the Dark Ages timeline, where the only equalizer was that other factions (like the Republic) had access to Clan tech.

IS tech is always heavier, bulkier, and usually loses out in range/damage (if not both). So just wondering where this dream time of technical parity exists? Certainly never existed in BT.

IS ER lasers vs Clans, same heat, lesser range, same damage as IS standard lasers
IS UAC's vs Clans, lots heavier and more crit slots, lower range
IS LBX's vs Clans, heavier and more crit slots, lower range for class 2 and 5's
IS SSRM's vs Clans, heavier and lower range

Oh and Clans have 7 slot endo and ff, and get XL engines that don't die with a single side torso loss. IS gets LFE, which costs you half of the weight savings of an XL to get a comparable level of survivability, or their XL and death with one side torso gone.

Just bringing in more unbalanced items into the game isn't going to fix anything, or suddenly make IS and Clan equal.

Should I start a thread about a Petition to end over-dramatizations in the MWO forums?

They are trying to balance the game we have now, and they aren't on the hook to release new IS weapons for YEARS until they advance the timeline, so lets cross that bridge when we get there.


Probably you should.. cose' these prissy drama queens are getting their thongs in a bunch again.. and over a legitimately good thing this time..

When IS tech catches up to Clan tech.. it will look like when a Jade Falcon attacks a Wolf.. an even interesting fight..

Please, OP, if you think the fact you spent 2K$ for this game gives you ANY right or privilege to post spoiled bratty rants like this, just leave.. nobody needs this bile of yours here..

The rebalance is happening, and it needs to happen, and the game will be better because of it.

The fact that the backend numbers don't match TT values do not make this game any less Battletech.. and nobody said TT values were ever well balanced or meant for a real-time type play.

So please.. go play something else.. your money is no good here.. :P

You call yourself a clanner? You start this petition now, over stat changes???? Where was your call to change the name when CW came out and clanners were able to attack clanners?

You true colors are showing. You care only for the lore based clan advantage and care nothing for the lore.
