it would be wonderful to see cheese builds be denied to players because their house is sucking *** - whoever controls the cheese controls the galaxy!!!

[Tennex]

i'm sure they can't deny the more essential weapons though. the ER laser example just because its not really used that much

ad wont have a massive impact on builds

remember when we had a mobile repair unit instead of respawns and you had to defend it? Oh that was MW3 srry

[KinLuu]

Or you will just see a massive increase in lonewolf (or Liao, if Goons are gonna Goon around) numbers.

OK just to point out a thing that happened in old MW games. Each team had a repair base that could be destroyed. It was called a mobile repair base. If your mech was damaged you could go back to it and repair and re arm w/o respawning, but the thing is that base could be destroyed(it had hitpoints) Why MWO doesn't have a game mode with this is I dunno its kinda stupid. It added a bit of strategy to the game and there were no cap points If your team lost the MRB and couldn't repair then got destroyed it was game over

It's too much away from lore/canon/TT. In the battletech universe it takes approx. 15min to repair one point of armor.
We had this topic a lot of times and most agree that we don't need it/don't want it.

I don't like it either.
Still this is not the topic here.
Please stay on topic.

MFB... Mobile Field Base from MW3 not MRB unless something other than MW3 had MFBｓ。。。

I look forward to hearing more about these features they are adding!
Some of them sound neat.. I really REALLY wanna hear about what they wish to do with the servers.

I liked the part where Ekman called the community the canary bird when it comes to balance. So when the community dies, then PGI reacts. I don't think he thought that metafore through .

Sounds fairly accurate to me

Community isn't dead and MGs flamers and LBX-10 are all terrible and useless...

[Kageru Ikazuchi]

If this video had been released before the "monetization" article, I wonder if the firestorm would have been as large ...

I'm not sure about the "passive" aspect of the major houses, but other than that, great stuff.

[Morderian]

is it just me or is the bobblehead at 4:20 slightly bugged^^

well to LBX i hope they will sooner or later bring slugammo to make it a good weapon

but i look forward to 12 vs 12 sound really intresting

[Inertiamon]

Will believe any of it when I see it. If this game charged per promise I'd be broke.

[Chemie]

how many queues are there goning to be now?

5 houses (how get all house matching), 3 regional servers, pug/premade ? That is a lot.

and MM is supposed to now account for ELO, weight, and limit you to houses too? Good luck.
