I would love nothing more than to ask this in ask the devs however:

Same as usual, only one request: No Community Warfare questions please. I feel awful that I cannot answer them now and I hate passing them all by. Cheers everyone!

Which it toal BS, but anyways.

So Devs since gath cant answer how about one of you step up to the plate. Is this going to get in game, what is the timeline, and what are the details.

The last official announcement was 90 days after open beta which is 5-6 weeks from now so we should have details as you should be well into coding it by now and way past the planning stage.

So what are the details?


Honestly its the only thing that i think can breath life back into this game, me and most of my friends are so sick of deathmatch ecm warriors online and are all looking forward to a true purpose that CW will bring.


So is it getting in game or not, and when? because if it isnt on track and wont be at least by feb im outta here till it is, im not playing no purpose MWO for another 3+ months its just not going to happen and i dont think many others other than the super die hards will either.

Everyone in CB said wait for CW it will fix everything anytime anyone brought up any MM or balance issue, and i dont think they were wrong, but people arnt going to wait forever, you can already tell the player numbers are going down, ive got more failed to find match messages in the last 2 weeks than the last 4 months combined. The foums are getitng slower, the MWO threads on other forums i post at that were getting daily posts now havent been posted in for weeks.... This game needs CW.

Devs please provide answers, staying silent on this issue/feature is only going to hurt the game.

because its not something thats coming up in the "near future" as in the next few weeks/month. obviously its going to happen since if they pulled it MWO would be dead in the water. Go take a look at their development roadmap.

I heard bait and switch was part of the plan to get your moneys and then run off with their ill-gotten gains into Belize. Worked for that antivirus guy.

Like stated in OP, last official announcement about CW was 90 days after OB, thats in jan. I just want to know if thats still on track, if not when will it be in game, and as many details as possible.

COmmunity Warfare is the foundation that MechWarrior: Online "matchmaking" will be based on. It's coming, as it has been the stated goal of the Developers for a long time now.

We are currently Beta Testing the in-game fighting Mechanic. Community Warfare is going to replace "Matchmaking" as we know it.

Ok that doesnt really say anything, can we please get more than a non-answer?

Such as WHEN APPROXAMATLY we can expect it. Also if you are really testing it then can we get some details?

[Felicitatem Parco]

I have no idea when...

...other than when they are done with it. I'd rather it take extra months than it not be done when it's implemented. It's probably going to be after they run the next phase of Matchaking for a while.

I honestly don't see it coming any earlier than six months to a year. But then, I really have no clue what it involves. Sounds big though.

I really hope you are wrong, i dont think many people will wait that long. I know i wont. 3 months i can do even though im already bored as hell, 6+ is not doable unless the new game mode is alot more entertaining than i think its going to be.

yeah pretty much eh, just tell us WTF is going on, you wouldnt think this would be so hard.

[Tennex]

either they are secretly planning/implementing it

or its very very far off. like years.

Yeah, what if it doesn't get in until, like 3050? I think we just have to chill out and watch the Command Chair.

Someone did comment in another thread that it will be in game about the time we are piloting mechs for real.

They don't want to answer question pertaining to one of the only features keeping people around, so when they shoot it down later or make it a watered down lame version of Community Warfare, by that time they'll have brought in some decent $ and can shut the game down.

[Irreverence]

I'm curious as to how community warfare will work if it's implemented around the time of the clan invasion.

This is the EXACT reason i want to know whats going on, because ill have alot more respect for PGI if they come out and say this so i can leave now and stop wasting my time.

If they string me along and then pull this crap later you can be sure that MWO will be the last PGI and IGP game i will EVER support.

[Irreverence]

Well look at it this way.

At its core, the territory battle is a fight for resources – planets.

How long does it take to produce one map? If we assume that one map is one world, then; even if the game utilized a handful of Inner Sphere worlds, how many worlds would that be?

The amount of negativity is astonishing. Just waiting to hear it's a scam?

Sarcasm P2. But if it was a scam, I would relish the amount of rage and crying that would come forth.
