You don't like my concept art? I've been pushing for a Mr. Peanut Atlas for 8 months now.

No, I don't actually.

If I was FD I'd find it hugely insulting when someone expresses concern over the work I do is ridiculed when it isn't released.

I honestly am perplexed as to why you guys continue to flood my thread with spam.

I have given well reasoned and supported replies to basically every post of substance.

Because to most you are threatening to not buy anymore mc unless they release more concept art..
Wouldn't you think debugging and fixing whats in game is more important?
I tbh honest would be fine if they didn't release any new concept art mechs or maps for a while if it meant a smoother running online game in the long run. So to me its more of a i want it my way or i'm out so you wont get a, oh no please stay, wait they will do what you want later.... pfft g.t.f.o. if you got nothing better to threaten not buying mc about...

Do you have any other retorts [redacted]?

Hmm another whine thread by a kong member. Like minded people do gravitate together.

[Jack Gallows]

I honestly find this notion silly, to boycot buying items or MC due to not getting a concept art for 'mech 20. Not going to say you can't do as you like, as it's obviously a big deal to you and others. I'm just going to keep waiting.

Though, I haven't been playing or buying anything for different reasons. Not to derail the point of the thread, but MC costs for hero 'mechs/etc are too high anyway. Haven't spent a dime on MW:O since buying my founders.

Yes, and like minded people such as yourself tend to post in them, thereby keeping them on the front page by the very nature of being incendiary. I appreciate the bump.

I read that whole thing but i had to keep stopping cause i thought i heard my 11 month old son crying. truns out it was just you. Did anyone else just hear waaaaa! Waaaaaa! while they read this?

[GalaxyBluestar]

interesting protest. i'll just sit back and let you do it with out argument customers can complain about things all they want and if pgi becomes concerned that this could lead to financial/reputation hurt and hurridly attend to your whim then lucky you. if they don't that's fine too if that's how pgi wants it.

so just sit back and be patient nothing's going away or being cancelled so it will come eventually.

Retorts? Hmm they will release when they want and no amount of threatening them with not buying mc is going to change that.. I am being honest, I am not resorting to stomping my feet and throwing a fit cause i can't see concept art. So ignorance and juvenile seem to be right up your alley and thought it to be something on the same level as you....

Do you have anything tangible to add to the discussion?

Thanks for the bump.

im sorry i assumed it would be perfectly clear in my post. you sound like a whining baby. even if you put your complaint in a well organized post. even if you claim you will boycot the MC. you still sound like a child, and like a child you will be ignored by the ones you are attempting to communicate with.

Call me entitled, but I want the next two pieces of Concept Art released in relatively quick succession.

No Concept Art. No MC Purchases List:

1. Norris J Packard
2. Conzilla
3. Enig
4. Haruko
5. Barghest Whelp
6. Odanan
7. Cerebelli
8. Craftyman

I would say the part of your post that I quoted, bolded and enlarged pretty much says it all. 8 of you on a boycott for a game that has thousands of players right now. Big deal. Boycott away, me boyos.

Quit your whining and sniveling, because sniveling is SO unbecoming.

Funny you should mention that, because a lot of the little improvements that have been getting made to MWO over the past few months have all been long sought after by Kong members. People tend to forget that because when those complaints and potential fixes are discussed here they get buried under "l2p"/"it's a beta"/"stop being entitled"/etc. spam.

Again, god forbid you commit to critical thought about the things we complain about and the solutions we suggest when we give rational, thought-out explanations. Much easier to paint the entire group with the same brush because Vass and Connor like goofing off in these forums. For that matter, if you'd have been paying attention, you'd have noticed Norris does a lot of serious number crunching in his spare time to try and figure out the things PGI won't tell us about the game, and he's usually right. The guy's not crazy.

Once again this community proves its toxicity to be second only to the likes of DOTA clones. The glacial pace of content is, frankly, unacceptable. Personally, I won't be spending another dime until this game has much more content. A World of Tanks clone doesn't cut it for me anymore.

Can you highlight the section(s) where I come off sounding like I child?

It would be highly insightful for me.

Of those thousands, many aren't paying in the first place. I am simply showing that there is more than one person who is willing to withhold money from PGI. And well, quite frankly, that's all I needed to do.

I have accomplished that, and no amount of spluttering is going to undo that.

Did he suggest a solution other than "GIVE ME WHAT I WANT OR ILL CRY"?
No, not at all

No, I did actually.

I said, they can give us the Concept Art, that they are far behind on, and then I'll go back to spending money.

However I have taken literally every single other avenue of approach. I've gotten a hold of members from both PGI and IGP, I've talked to guys you've probably never heard of because they don't actually post like Garth or Thomas.

I've contacted customer support, I've sent them emails, I've PM'd many people many times over, I've tweeted them and even got a few people to try and communicate with them via Facebook.

At the end of the day, what it came down to is this:

There is nothing holding up the release, there isn't any magazine article, or video, or PR stunt.

There isn't a copy right issue.

There isn't a lack of material.

There isn't a time constraint.

There is no reason for the art to have been delayed this long, and this many times.

If you think you can prove me wrong, I beg you to do so.
