Just want to say thank you for continuing to put the time and effort into a new Mechwarrior game, I've been waiting since MW4 for this and I'm loving every second of it.

Thank you for addressing all of our issues and keeping us up to date with your current and future actions.

I've never had this much fun in a mechwarrior game (including the tabletop)

Your implementations of major features are fair, balanced and on track.. and hell, you even try to sift out the majority of problems of complaints WITHOUT murdering us for being a group of completely rude, self-righteous whiners.

Which, seriously, the majority of regular posters are... So a big thank you to the CR team also. I imagine that 10 minute "I-can't-believe-he-really-actually-thinks-that" rage breaks are a built in part of your work day.

My lance, generally, doesn't read these forums as they are so negative and filled with "change this or the game dies" sort of creepy player doom-saying over-estimations of their opinions.

God bless you for being able to read these every day without sending a few pointed PMs to folks letting them know exactly how much you'd care were they to make good on their threats to quit.

Loving the game, loving PGI's involvement and community outreach.

Sort of nauseated by the general immaturity of the forum community... but that's more a function of who thinks they are entitled to have their demands met via whining on a forum and who doesn't, not of the crowd your game attracts.

Keep yourselves on the subreddit as often as possible to get both sides of the "involvement" crowd... the negative reinforcement types and the positive.

You're doing it right, feel free to continue ignoring the whiners. I'm sure you can see from your numbers that they are still putting in substantial hours despite their constant complaints.

Thanks! for the game, the time, the effort, the patience and most of all.. for so far always making the right balance call, even in the face of the squeaky wheel.

Be advised that PGI doesn't read these forums, so you're thanking a wall/monitor/whatever.

Yeah, I think I hinted in my thread that I know I can more easily find them at the subreddit.... HOWEVER they need a positive thread here, where the hell-dimension is getting dangerously close to breaking through into the forum.

The subreddit is already full of constructive criticism and enthusiasm for the project and doesn't need anything so overt. ;]

I was just about to say that I see Devs post here regularly.

Glad you are enjoying it. It's been my main game since 3-4 weeks into the Closed Beta. Love it.

Good to see topics like this! I have made a few and sadly they were out of sight by QQing before the day was done. Lets keep this thing bumped up for the world to see!

Thank you PGI for all you do for us!

Ask them if you don't believe me. But if course if they haven't forgotten, they are liars!

I second the OP. I've been playing MechWarrior since MW 2, and this is the most fun I've ever had with the franchise. I do miss the single player experience, but still loving the hell out of this game. What really blows my mind is that it's, what, 2 years into development, of that, and they already have a fully playable game. Incredible work Devs. Keep up the great work, and don't let the uber-negative vocal minority get you down. You still have a loyal silent majority who loves this project.
