Right up until it didn't.

Also, his tv show is called "8", because he scrupulously observes the labor laws governing workday for public employees.

Wow. Everyone.

They are aware of the issue.
And they are fixing it.
And they are in constant communication about it.
And (god save their miserable souls) they are trying to have some fun with it.
And it's BETA.

For the love of all that is heat-inducing...



and get a life!

i'm still baffled how my simple question to garth became a community chat with all the devs and they still didn't answer a single question. which i'm not complaining about, it's kinda like going out for a beer after work with new co-workers.

we've had more communication with all of you today than we've had in months, can we figure out someway in the future of this happening again,and answer a few more game related questions please? the last ask-the-devs asnwer were pretty much all yes/no/maybe and gave us no real insight into what you guys have in store for us in the future.

From Garth? That's Bryan Ekman... the Creative Director.

Woops.... Hope I don't get any staples or smileys.

US broadcaster CBS attempted a direct spin-off of "8" in the mid-nineties under the working title "Due South", but it only lasted two seasons.

My 3xSRM6 DDC is not imba anymore.

QQ.

Its for the best of the game, I suppose.

Love the 24 style updates. Is that due to sleep deprivation?

There ya go guys... Thanks for your patience, patch is going up and I haven't enjoyed posting on the forums like this for a lonnnng time. Been fun! See ya out there!

[armyof1]

Interesting changes, going to have to test it out to really get a feel for how these changes are in-game. Maybe my Jenner-D won't feel so clearly superior compared to the other variants anymore.

I think it'll remain over the K until we see how the artillery/airstrikes work in which case the K could get some use.

[Primetimex]

Many thanks PGI for creating this great game, IMHO we should not have complained about the OP LRM, didn't you know it was a taste of what is to come with Artillery/Airstrikes?

WTF IS THIS ****? Ravens are already broken and we're going to get more of them? Jesus. First Garth talks about MC ammo and now Raven heroes. Guess PGI really needs that money and making Hero mechs of unpopular mechs isn't working.

God this game is awful.

What's this? You claiming 3L are OP? Didn't you swear up and down in the last few days that ECM/Streaks weren't overpowered AT ALL? Well, I have to give you praise for finally figuring it out. It's as they always say, better late than never.

Holy **** do you not get subtlety at all.

Here let me spell it out....

Garth made a trollish post:

Garth Erlam, on 21 March 2013 - 12:40 PM, said:

We sure as hell will never make any 'Command Chair' posts, monthly updates, road maps, or anything like that.

I find a total media blackout works wonders; and as you can clearly see, we have followed that trend.

To which people complained about him being a jerk. He then responded...

Garth Erlam, on 21 March 2013 - 12:45 PM, said:

I'm an Atheist, does that mean I can't do the 2nd step?

(Also it wasn't meant to be snarky, but jokey. How the hell can I do that with text? There needs to be a 'seriously, it's a joke, put down the razor' typeface. Like bold, or italics. Snidalica? Times New Jokin'?)

To which I responded:

hammerreborn, on 21 March 2013 - 12:48 PM, said:

Comic sans of course.

Garth then hilariously posted

Garth Erlam, on 21 March 2013 - 12:54 PM, said:

Huginn and Munin are saved for future Raven Hero Mechs.
GIANT DAMN SMILEY FACE

In response saying he should turn to Thor as his god (both Huginn and Munin are Thor's ravens or something). NOTE THE TEXT AND "GIANT DAMN SMILY FACE"

A poster noted:

Belorion, on 21 March 2013 - 12:56 PM, said:

You know someone is going to pick up on that and start taking about p2w hero mech ravens with ecm.

And with Garth's already giant rumor mill spawned by taking his NGNG quote completely out of context about MC ammo or whatever I posted:

God this game is awful.

Note not only the complete manipulation of his quote akin to the NGNG hilarity, but I even posted the damn thing in comic sans.

Good god.
