So Congzilla, can I add your name to the list?

Sure. Though I think the message needs to be pointed at IGP not PGI, they pulled the thread and they are the ones that dictate stuff like this.

Heh, alright man you keep on thinking that. If you really want to intentionally not support this great game you supposedly love that's your beef. You couldn't just be a reasonable understanding fellow and wait patiently for more concept art, thinking that perhaps there's a reason why they aren't releasing new art and instead demanding that a good bunch of fellows like the developers hand over forcefully the concept art.

You can attract more bees with honey than vinegar last I remember.

This is a poor rebuttal.

I have no intention to keep giving them money. If PGI asked me to PAY for the Concept Art, I would, I'd have no qualms with that. It's the concept art I want, not the Hero Mechs that I have no interest in dropping a dime on.

And I don't love this game, I merely like this game. If I loved this game I'd have used my 90 days of Premium more effectively.

PGI's audience is significantly smaller than you believe it is.

This isn't WoW, PGI isn't even pulling Asheron's Call levels of concurrent users and that's a subscription based MMO that's more than a decade old.

If I can get even a few dozen people to agree not to spend another dime on MWO, that won't go unnoticed.

If that's true, if that many people will actually affect their bottom line then we got lots bigger problems than no concept art, but seriously you rage on over lack of concept art, that's really a ******* huge issue. I'm not trying to stop you, this is hilarious. Please continue you're very mature and adult like tantrum.

Actually I've talked to the guys at IGP, this isn't their problem anymore.

Okay Notch, you got me, I am throwing a tantrum and would like to be pacified with Concept Art.

If you were to go about doing something similar, how might you act in a much more "mature and adult like" manner?

I should probably write this down. Where should have I started? PM'ing the staff? Sending emails to customer service?

[Enig]

Whatever, I agree.

No weekly communications, no MC. SOE stays in biweekly communication with the community regarding Planetside 2.

We don't need them to produce **** content, just some signs of what work was done over the last week is awesome :3

All I know is where it's heading and foot stamping and breath holding appear to be next. BTW from your list you are well on your way to getting a dozen or so people to sign up. All I ask is if you rage quit, please stick to it no one likes a quitter who can't quit right.

If you don't love the game, merely like it, why QQ over concept art? I've only ever seen that sort of attitude from people who were obsessed with a game to the point where nothing the devs did was good enough to satiate them.

I won't quit because I have over $350 invested in this game, but that doesn't mean I will spend more.

Ya, I didn't think so.

When you have alternatives, please offer them. Until then I'm all ears.

I have made some concept art for you. I encourage others to submit their efforts to salve this poor mans yearning!

I'm gonna go out on a limb here.....I too have been looking forward to more concept art. I have been watching the Battletech cartoon, never knew it existed. The clans are coming, this is history. I do not know how accurate the show is, but seems to be fairly accurate. It starts on Somerset, 2nd of March 3050, that's only a couple of days away. I am thinking on Wednesday there could be a very exciting lineup announced. Remember, PGI has been good at keeping the lid on things. So I am still confident things will be very much worth the wait, we just have to have a bit of patients. (I think they are holding off the concept art for some reason, and it is not to frustrate us. I think they have a plan and we will be happy with it.) <S> Just my 2 cents.

You really like to nitpick don't you? This matter is really so trivial anyways I don't see people following you in this crusade since it seems you're trying to get people from a very very small audience. I mean concept art is nice don't get me wrong, but the fact you're making a huge hubbub about something many people don't find as essential as you do is silly.

I mean, I want more of certain things in this game but I don't go out and make big forum posts and stand on soapboxes. Because I know better and I don't want to waste people's time on something they may consider trivial themselves. I know better than to be THAT guy or THAT Founder who moans about something.

I'd rather just play the game, give people a good fight, enjoy new content they roll out every once in awhile, and have a good time. Sounds like you're not having a good time, and that's a personal problem.

[Boymonkey]

Also the use of blackmail is not on.
Next time why not just ask nicely eh?

I didn't force you to read the thread, I can't hold you here.

You willingly took the time to read my thread, and then began trying to argue.

I simply responded. If you don't like that, then you're free to stop responding.

For those that say if they pay more attention to concept art they can't pay attention to other things... Lmao!!! This has nothing to do with other projects for the game. I have a brother that does movie based concept art and to do a mech concept like this... At most it would take a few days. Now I'm not talking full 3d concept renders. I'm talking just the 2d forward facing view we have been getting.

I'm sure they probably have the next IS concept art done for at least 10 mech and all the Clan concept art as well. By the time the Clans come into play and CW is started... There won't b much left to do but keep game modes and new content coming so I expect that once clan mech start to be released, we will get 1 clan and 1 IS mech released together each time.

[Rina Fujimoto]

Sign me up.

If they pull this **** with clan art when the time comes, that **** ain't gonna fly.

Thank you Yoseful for understanding what I am trying to get at.

As for everyone saying I should be nice, or ask privately, etc. You clearly have no idea the lengths I've gone, and how cordial I have been every step along the way to get anything.

There is nothing that you can tell me that I haven't already been told.
