I need to go back to one of the ECM threads, I think I left my pitchfork there.

I wanted community warfare, but this is ridiculous!

If they have a UAV then make it an really really expensive GXP (120,000) module, make the actual module cost 200 million C-bills you can add to your mech for tactical purposes to help your team out in the battle field. Otherwise do not even entertain the idea.

sarcasim of course, but I am very opposed to third person view. Make a few mechs capable of UAV, could be a pausible solution. Do not know how it should be implemented though.

It was more of a tongue in cheek response, lighten up... But you can sure hit the report button if you want. More power to ya buddy.

Yeah its needed here because 3rd person view will destroy the game while ECM is just something that need balancing. After 3rd person view is implemented, there will be no way back.

They can surprise us and somehow implement it in a way that prevents looking around corner and whatnot but I would be surprised if they manages to do that.

Snark from people who ostensibly represent a company is rather bad form, don't you think?

If they go to 3rd person period, that will be the last day I play.




Why do people say this? Do you realize this represents significant time, energy, and effort on PGI's part to develop, bugtest, bugfix, and "balance" a new feature like 3rd person cam? There's a whole mess of technical problems that need to get fixed. If PGI is busy working on a 3rd person camera no one bloody wants, they -aren't- working on other features that we DO want, like Community Warfare, improved netcode, and performance fixes.

If they did those things they'd have a good hot game on their hands instead of a bargain bin rack game. Can't have that.

Adding fuel to the fire when people are already really pissed off is very poor decision, especially for a moderator. The post by the yellow in this thread should have made that clear.

Focusing on 3rd person view at least gave them a good HOT topic haha.

Are you sure this is right thread to come into and inject some snark? Given what the atmosphere already is here?

Didn't work out so well for that guy on Page 1.

Imho you should, so atleast we get some attention.

[Orbit Rain]

...yeah, I'm also in the "not giving PGI any more money" camp, if they split the community base, plain and simple....I will also be in the ears of those around me TODAY, letting them know as much...In the mean-time, I'm gonna hold off on dropping any more money into their pockets until I hear a response.

[Dakkath]

Passionate, I like it. Carry on.

[Braggart]

I'll continue to play until 3rd person comes out. I won't be spending any more money though.

They can take the game in any direction they want, it is their game. I simply have no interest in playing Mech Assault personally.

I am not sure the community volunteers are supposed to represent the company. They are just guys that handle moderation stuff, and their opinions and snark is their own, and their information about the secret plans of PGI is probably as non-existent as ours.

Pretty much this. And I wasn't being snarky, I was trying to lighten up the mood with a joke since it's getting heated around here

As long as it doesn't have any advantages over First Person then I'm fine with it.

That's pretty much impossible to accomplish, given a 3rd-person view provides an entirely different perspective than a first-person view.

It doesn't work that way.

When you're a moderator, even if just a volunteer mod, the public perception is your opinions represent those of whoever you work for, or are at least sanctioned by them, there are responsibilities and expectations that come with the position, and your conduct will, rightly or wrongly, reflect on the conduct of PGI as a whole.

You may as well not bother. Their mouths are foaming and they're seeing red; anything short of the developers coming here and grovelling for forgiveness while insisting they were right all along isn't going to stop them from their runaway irrationality.
