That is very trollsome, indeed.

Although old Tweets from almost 60 days ago I know mean little..

@VRushman we're in pre-alpha now. Closing in quickly on Alpha.

@Phaelon74 we're closing in on alpha. Expect an announcement about Beta in the next 60 days.


21 Jan MechWarrior Online ‏ @MechWarriorF2P

@DonaldPollack expect some cool meat in the next 60 days.

If anyone is counting.. TOMMORROW is 60 days from Jan 23rd.. So I just posted this to Twitter..

@MechWarriorF2P @Phaelon74 So.. tommorrow makes 60 days since this post. So.. Do you have anything to tell us ? We want.. no we NEED to Know

Everyone keep an eye / ear out..

I know we maybe deluding ourselves.. and nothing will happen

We are way to excitable and need to let things happen naturally

Maybe I need medication... or at minimum a good Beer...

In any case, I can't help to be excited..

Looks like a week of trolling is afoot..

Maybe even the Beta soon (If you go by the Jan 23rd Tweets stating it was about 60 days)

We have this today buried in the comments on Facebook..



Not sure what to say about the grammar.. ?

I think they were just punning on the names of different 'mechs, actually. Some of those aren't right for the timeline (Malice, Onslaught, Omen, Hercules, Maelstrom, Fireball, Cadaver, Yu Huang, Volkh) while others are (Awesome, Thug, Zeus, Trebuchet, Champion, Kintaro). Those *might* be hints of things to come, but given the other stuff in the sequence I'm guessing it was just in fun.

Hmmm, interesting theory. Actually, I don't see how anyone can pick up anything more than this from those jibberish messages. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

Definitely some food for thought there.

Hence, the deed of trollsomeness.

Finger touches nose. Sort of anyway. Don't view them as hints of anything other than people having fun with word play.

FYI, some background. People have been playing on the word "awesome" for a couple months now, trying to get PGI to confirm that the Awesome is in game. It was taken to an entirely new level in the Repaint thread, starting around here. It appears that carried over onto Facebook.

I love it when the @PiranhaGames dev team ninjas in a feature for@MechWarriorF2P ! Hello jump jets, nice to meet you! How about some DFA.

[Felicitatem Parco]

Is that old... or new...? Confused, because I thought they were already confirmed.

It might have been confirmed, but not implemented yet. This is new and is saying it is now in game and being tested... Going to hear about a lot of DFA attempts tomorrow.

I think LRM's are going to be a lot more effective in MWO than past products.

Russ Bullock ‏ @russ_bullock
I admit I have not been a fan of the Catapult in general but dang it's a lot of fun and very effective.

Enjoying a rare work day from home. Banging out e-mails, working on @MechWarriorF2P design updates.

Add all this together.. looks like a major Build is being played with at PGI..

I have a feeling Bryan MAYBE playing at Home to test the game across the WWW instead of a closed LAN environment..

Isnt that one of the things you have to test and work out in a BETA.. (Just sayin..) But what do I know..

Also note that this tweet:

Has gone unanswered.. Hmm....

[Tremor]

fingers crossed. Ideally, I'd be playing this game all summer.

[Dihm]

It's too bad I can't read these and respond since Twitter suspended my account, apparently, right after I sent the PGI Urbanmech in a tweet to @MechWarriorF2P.

That posted around 1AM EST...

Given today is the "60day" mark... Its making me wonder..

[Ulric Kell]

Hopefully they respond to my followups. Dates would be huge for me as I've begun POD construction and need to know if my timeline requires acceleration.

Dude, if you're already building a Pentagon-class Orbital Dropship, then I suggest you just go with your current schedule. Trust me, you don't want to rush construction on orbital dropships.

He wouldn't need to play at home for Internet network testing. All testing facilities have that ability in-house... I would know, because I work for one.

that battle simulater looked all so sexy (drools)
