I have thought about how to respond to this.

**** it.
C'est la vie.

If it's coming it's coming, I'm damn tired of being angry at potential changes or getting worked up over trivialities. I will play this game until I don't which will be roughly the time it stops being fun, when that point is I probably won't know until it happens.

The Devs and their publisher have a business plan they are going to follow, with or without us. I firmly believe they don't want a failure of a game, however it does seem like they also may not be interested in sticking to the original plan. Just gonna have to see if it pans out, but at some point it's just getting upset about entertainment which seems counter-productive to me.

you were expecting more than that?

6+ months ago, yes, yes I did. A little bit of creativity could have thrown together a whole collection of scenarios with objectives scattered across the map, each one of them doing different things.

Now I fully expect it, but it in turn begs the question "what the hell is taking so long?"

While I don't disagree this is a wildly unpopular idea, since this is not the first thread of its kind over the last year and a half, it appears a majority of these posts are from the same dozen or so posters who stayed up all night posting about this.

what am i supposed to do until the hotfix?
there's your answer. yes. i made myself a big cup of coffee and got into a "back and forth"
30 is a bit much but some of it was just a some humor to lighten the mood

besides my posts are under 500 total, so if i posted a few too many here is because i'm passionate about this subject

Yes, and?

It's like at the beginning of a match, when people watch where others are going and they just blindly (or not so blindly follow).

"Let's follow the 'PUGS'" ...

This thread is outrage based on a snippet of a twitter(!) post.

It's the MWO General Forums for the past few months on crack.

This is a really bad idea, PGI. We do not need this feature and I can tell you that the playerbase right now whom is supporting your game as Founders, purchasers of Hero Mechs, and other MC items are ENJOYING the simulator experience. Please do not put this in.

[The Trice]

If pgi released third person , you guys wont quit the game and nothing will happen except attract more players , and they will do it , and we all know it , its just a matter of time .. all MW games had it , why would this differ .... if its advantage to your enemy , then its to u as well and quit bitchin.

i am now glad i stopped putting money into this game.
i am now glad i did not spend money on a new rig to run this game.

PGI IGP is untrustable.

​ unprofessional... please dont troll your community. you all at PGI have set a pretty low standard so far. hate to see you drag this IP through the mud more so than you already have

QuantumButler, on 20 March 2013 - 07:48 PM, said:

Which this does, because the devs originally, way back when, said "hell ******* no" to 3rd person and coolant and gave us their word they'd never ever add these things.

Shows you how much their word is worth, eh?

Josef Nader, on 20 March 2013 - 07:50 PM, said:

The very idea that they're wasting man-hours working on a feature that nobody wants rather than putting all their effort into producing features that we have been promised and waiting for from the start is absolutely sickening.

Hm the similarities between Cryptic Studios and PGI continue to grow. Sad, very sad to go down that path to a bar set so, so low.

I think lots of players suffer from burn-out on this game. A badly implemented 3 rd person view may be what push them over to some other game. What kind of players do you think 3 rd person view will attract?

Doesn't really matter if I quit the game or not, does it?

What matters is if I throw money at them, and if I try to expand the game's playerbase by introducing more new potential customers.

If I am doing neither of these things, aren't I actually WORSE than someone who's stopped playing altogether? I'm a burden on their servers for no cost.

Or you could just look at the 3rd person poll and notice that over 1000 people voted "no" to 3rd person, or are you going to say that those people are "all the same dozen or so posters who stayed up all night"?

Alt accounts are totally unheard of.

[Vassago Rain]

As an aside, though it's an important one, I wish we weren't being put to the sword like this. And that's what it is; don't pretend otherwise, even for a second. The threat of 3rd person and the jokey goldsinks have been hanging in the air for quite some time now...

I'm expecting this account, and those of several others, to be completely banned when the yellows come back in a few hours, all for 'reasons,' no matter how civil discussion's been (all things considered).

I'm expecting a HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT by either Bryan or Paul, and Garth to resume snark and trolling, completely shameless, but I want everybody to realize something, even as they push for more World of tanks and grind, threads are merged, and players get banned from the game for talking on the forums...

It's better to be deleted by people with small egos, for the simple reason you challenged what they were saying, and their behavior, than to be playing a bad game made by them.

Or, this one time, I'm actually wrong, they listen, and we reverse course. I don't have a lot of hope for this, and PGI's making me feel quite disgusted right now. We'll know in a few hours. Let's say a silent prayer for the better.

probably true; but I'll stop spending money and i will shun community warfare... many other will do the same. If something else giant robotish comes along and stays sim based... hell even if it's just better made, i'll spend there.

Third Person: No more unbalanced than ECM. So I'll bust out the old straw-man. "Does third person prevent you from shooting the enemy?".

Sure. They saw me coming, by looking over the hill, and because they where: badly hurt, in a mech that would have problems with my mech, premader alone, other reason: they ran like hell. I could not shoot at them.

[Yankee77]

I personally would like there to be a 3rd person view, but only for the purpose of looking at your mech, not as a viable combat mode.

So for example, if the moment you go in 3rd person you lose your crosshairs and the likes.

And, naturally, 3rd person should hide targets that you can't actually see from the cockpit, that's the only good way to do 3rd person properly. Anything that allows people to "pop up" their camera and see the enemies is just broken.

Or we can employ Occam's Razor and maybe this is an issue people actually care about, instead of dismissing things you don't agree with as ballot stuffing.
