Not that it really matters (cause I'm just a guy), but you know what I do for a living? I automate back end data processes for large institutions. I am used to looking at hundreds upon hundreds of data points and conditional logic steps. I *am* a guy that makes his living looking through all the unnavigable crap that would make most people just log out.

So when I say this, I really mean it: This site is a freaking mess. Should we be checking the command chair? patch feedback? General discussion? hot topic heatsink? Announcements? Radio chatter??? Who the heck knows... Sure we could sift through all the crap that comes through the Radio chatter and the random posts slung throughout the whole of this thing, but who the heck has the time or energy for that?



Thank you!

You glance at the Command Chair to see if anything new has been posted. Then jump into GD and see if everyone is complaining about something new- then check announcements. Finally it's back to GD and the Dev Tracker and you check out what they are saying. Really dude, do you even ForumWarrior? :P

I know. If only their twitter post showed up on the home page under Radio Chatter...like it does...


Ha, awesome. You can't expect me to go so far as to actually search for something before blabbing about it though; the whole point of registering on these forums is to make barely researched claims that are belligerently stuck to even if proven wrong.

QFT. Customers are wrong most of the time. The ones that aren't wrong are lying through their teeth.

The bull puckey I hear every day as a retail employee gets so deep that sometimes I have to wear waders to work.

I suppose that depends on which end of the scale one is. If you are a seller, the customer is always right. If you are a deliverer, the customer is rarely right, but often demanding and you must acquiesce, else the seller gets pissed and fires you.

The OP is right on a few things he has said and the most striking thing I read in almost all posts and topics is everyone's love/hate relationship with PGI about MWO. Im in the same boat I have 2 founders accounts I have spent 500+USD on each account then I have this free one to test just being a F2play Vs my Paid account. If MWO fails it will be because they did not listen to there paying players about bugs or improvements to make MWO better or even the F2play players which bring in more players through word of mouth or word of mouth through advertising for new players. If MWO succeeds and proves to be a true MechWarrior game as its IP predecessor's it will be because players love the game and pay into it. PGI must understand how to make MWO work for all players I would suggest first fix all the bugs possible and make it more stable for as many systems as possible. Second I would implement a chat/lobby launcher like the old MSN gamming zone for 3rd party league play and socialization. Third I would make it so you could save configs in mechlab and drop on chosen maps in 1V1-24V24 drops. Forth I would kill ELO MM and segregate MM by stock VS stock with different game modes in FPV and 3rd view and a custom MM mode the same way.I would make the current FFA drop just a type of game mode drop along with attrition-destruction and more game mode types. More maps would also help and last a CO-OP/SOLO mode for PVE of all past MechWarrior campaigns MW2-MW4 and all expansions I would even shell out USD to play those. Sorry for the wall of text WIN8/IE10 sigh ow and fix the forums so I don't have to post a wall of text. I think all players and fans want MWO and PGI to succeed even the forum fans/players that squeal about every little thing. So its just a wait and see what PGI will do I just think they don't have much more time to turn things around for a fabulou's MechWarrior game we have come to love and hate that we call MWO. :ph34r: :wub: :P P.S PGI should do the main planetary/CW and let fans/players help with new map Creation. If Gabe from VALVE lets players/fans make new maps I don't see any reason PGI could not do the same.

I got about half way through typing a great S&M analogy for this relationship, then I edited myself.

You see that miSs, I edited myself... didn't need you to come along and do it, because what I was in the process of typing violated about 15 different aspects of the CoC, and more than a few State's laws.

OP I totally see where youre coming from, I to am a MW fan yet over the last month I have spent money on 2 other games and wont spend another $ on this one. Its not the bugs or the slow work, simply ive lost all confidence in the Devs, they have lied to me to often and on top of that they told me who their target audience is and it doesn't include me..
