If they lock this, a new one will spawn, and either way, no one trusts the company anymore. This is why you don't bite the hand that feeds.

They can strike this thread down, but it will only become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

the face of the growing disrespect we all seem to be seeing from the company? honest yes. my intention? to be honest, not rude.

[KylleX]

If we are lucky, maybe IGP will shut down MWO before PGI ruins it forever. (that's alot of acronyms)

[EDIT] I have an IDEA!! give the MWO materials to Mojang they know how to listen to people.

Half of our community has been saying they were going to quit playing since closed beta. This wont kill the game, but if they implement it in the only way that makes any sense, where you'll be able to see behind you without turning around, it's going to upset a lot of people.

Seriously though, if you really have an issue with it, stop playing when they put it into effect. We've already got golden consumables and I think half of the board is waiting for the announcement for golden ammo (armor piercing/flak/etc). For better or worse this isn't the game they established it would be when they were asking for founder cash, and while I know a lot of you might feel like you're invested now and can't leave, pulling out until they feel that the user base has suffered is the only way to get their attention. Everybody puffs up and types about how the world is ending but then they just keep on playing and bitching on the boards and playing more, and this will continue for years with nothing changing if you don't actually act on it. Make noise and then find another game to play while this one sorts itself out, because it isn't getting any better over night.

Someone who should lose their job for either being right, or being a poostick; along with the fool who hit up Twitter when they should have been working on the splash damage bug. At the very least this is a PR disaster, and at worst it is a harbinger of things to come. Neither of these options are good options. Given their past record in these types of things, confidence levels are low.

Not a professional, clearly.

Man you all just need to calm down. These guys are working hard to make this game work. Wait until they reveal what they have planned. As evident with the ECM feedback (took a while for that one, but that's not the point), they do want our opinions on things without crying the sky is falling.

Why is anyone surprised by this? lol
These people have already shown their true colors.
Coolant flush already.
3rd person view and gold ammo can't be terribly far behind.
If they think they can squeeze another red cent out with something,they will do it.Regardless of how much we don't want it,or rather or not it was asked for.
Expect it to be presented in one form that is completely outrageous and unacceptable,the forums to explode with ragetears,and the final implementation in the game to be slightly different,but some how acceptable.*cough* coolant flush *cough* That seems to be standard PGI MO to slide something in the game no one wants/asked for.
I've basically lost hope for this game being even a shadow of what was promised.I'll play until they take it farther than I'm willing to accept,and then I'll leave.There are far to many games out there today competing for my time for me to waste it on something that doesn't make me happy.Once MWO passes that line,my wallet will get up and go some where else.
I won't hesitate to file suit if I feel like the product,as delivered,isn't the product I was told would be in the box.Not because I give 2 rat poops about the $200 or so I've spent on this game,but just because I'm so tired of being bait and switched these days.

This is just ******* great news, isn't it?

PGI, why didn't you purchase the license to MW4 from mek-tek? It's clearly the game you wanted to make.

You do know that we didn't have the license to MW4? We just asked Microsoft to not sue us if we released it for free and made mods for it and they said ok. Not like we ever had money or anything. It's also not like we put 3rd person into the game...

What I'm wondering is why they answered this particular question among the hundreds that MWO Twitter surely recieves. Why this one? Why now?

My vote: Having one of their own people test the waters with a canned question so they could give this response and guage how much of an unholy shitstorm it'd create.

Third person view is a big part of Mech Warrior, and its been a part of Mech warrior through the majority of the series. Those of you overreacting, ranting, and venting... its ok. You will get past this. You will still like this game more than any other game on the planet.

It is a good game. It has a ton of potential. I know at least two closed beta players who stopped playing because they wanted 3rd person implemented. Both say the same thing, it was in all the other mech warriors, why not this one too. I think for them they want third person because they get fustrated when a light is behind them exploiting their lack of peripheral view.

Thats what you have by and large, a core player base settled in their ways. Used to exploiting no 3rd person view, and angry that another exploit is being taken away. But the sun will rise tomorrow, and you will keep playing. It will just be a little more challenging for you, and MWO will be that much more true to the franchise. Mech warrior from days past, was a game which included third person.

This is the hard part, overall I love the game, I really do, but I see the piles of garbage laying just ahead that PGI is planning on dragging it through. I have other games to play, LoL, Natural Selection 2, Awesomenauts, etc. but I WANT this game to succeed. But at this rate it will NOT be with MY money, at least not anytime soon. Maybe, just maybe. the twitter post was just VERY misleading. A boy can dream....right?

LOL, actually not a bad theory.

they are sadly not working hard enough, or rather, not working on the correct issues. We are supposed to have the clan invasion TODAY---yesterday... and they are not here. they are wasting time and resources on other less essential things like hero mechs for example, or that infernal 3rd person fiasco, rather than hammering out ECM balancing, collision, knock down, CW and so on.
