Hi all, quit playing months ago when it looked like the game was heading for P2W and just wanted to check in and see the state of the game. Originally a persistent universe to fight over was promised in Oct.-Nov. Then it was pushed back to Dec.- Jan. Is a persistent universe even still a stated goal that I just couldn't find information on? Or has the game simply become a one time deathmatch over and over again? If there is information on that part of it that I'm missing, someone plz point me in the right direction.

Thx, and hello again to some of you.

CW hasn't been ditched as far as the information we have goes.

As for P2W, it's still not anywhere near. Infact, since R&R got removed, it's possibly less like P2W than it was previously.

[ThundrGod]

Any info on the latest timeline for community warfare? I looked in the developer updates and couldn't find any mention of it.

[Gaan Cathal]

Soon^TM

Really, we don't know. There's speculation it will be implemented at the same time as the Clans, although we still have no firm idea when that will be.

[Gallowglas]

The devs have said repeatedly that CW remains a high priority.

And I'd agree with Gaan Cathal...this game isn't even close to P2W. People are entirely too knee-jerk and overly sensitive about that. Certainly it's something to watchdog, but if one were to listen to these forums, everything would be P2W.

Thanks for the replies guys, I'll keep checking back and maybe you guys can shoot at me when theres something to fight over.

Happy hunting!

[Tabrias07]

Probably in the fall.

It's just going to be a copy of WoT clan warfare or whatever it is they have. website metagame ********.

If killing mechs isn't enough fun I doubt CW will hold your attention.

[Zyllos]

Should listen to the NGNG #64 Podcast...it has some small detailed information about up coming CW.

CW is "later this year"
supposedly. And the one guy that they actually take questions from on NGNG (according to him) has had his lips surgically grafted to the devs' ***** and refuses to ask them any important questions. Like whats the vision of the game, give us an update on CW, etc.

Funny, the latest NGNG podcast got the dev to tell us that the first part of CW will becoming in the next 90 days. that seems like an update on CW.

Such a high priority they cant tell us ANYTHING about it. Other than "later this year".
Are we gonna be able to fight on storyline worlds? Given that if we cant that kinda takes the POINT out of CW. Especially for people of my faction, given we only HAVE 8 worlds that are "non storyline" or not attacked by the Clans

link it? I havent been listening to them. I take my info from what theyre interested in actually - you know - announcing here, Im not interested in sifting through a podcast to glean relevant bits from it.
Also; the last time thay DID give us an update the whole update was "later this year" you can pretend it was otherwise but at least admit that it wasnt. Anything else is BS revisionist history because they FINALLY threw us a bone.

there are a LOT of people even still here for whom JUST killing mechs, with the same conditions, maps, game modes, isnt enough for them and no, its not holding their attention, so they are leaving.
CW is what they are HOPING WILL "hold their attention", especially the version they told us they were doing.
Hoping against hope that CW will be what we're all waiting for to make the grind palatable.
CW is the persistent universe people are looking for, though I dont understand how the CW capturing territory is supposed to work on a game that has many many different servers.
I get how it works in a game like EVE Online, as thats one shard, is the CW map gonna be one map and all the servers contribute or will each server have its own map or what?

I am as angsty about CW as anyone, but they are being tight-lipped about it for a reason. I don't know what that reason is, but I refuse to simply equate it to anything nefarious without actual proof.

Some of us are entirely too paranoid / negative.

That is funny,.... really funny, because 90 days is 3 months away, and what did you say, "the first part of CW", so you mean custom decals for Merc Groups will be done and we can have a pilot picture..??
.
But seriously, what the "F" is going to be the first part of CW..??? That could mean rainbows stickers for the cockpit for all you know, so how about some "REAL" info..
.
The window of opportunity is already closing, and that is just the reality of the situation..

The first part of CW is going to be a structure within the game for creating and joining units, Factions, etc.

Almost guarantee that will be 90% of the "first phase of Community Warfare."
