$1000 dollar desktop, is not high end, its med spec all day, and it plays mwo great. these people that wont pay for a decent computer arent likely to pay anything into the game either.

You know bugs are bad when you have people posting stuff as quoted above.

Oh oh...got a new one.

You know bugs are bad when - people start having more fun trolling on the forums then they do playing the game.

So I had a funny incident just now, friendly raven 3L shoots me 4 times, but I didn't shoot back because I figured he has no IFF tags.

His buddy who could read chat confirmed my diagnoses was correct.

So post your funny bug experience in the following format,

"You know the bugs are bad when you don't respond to FF because the guy shooting you probably has no hud."

I had a friendly raven come running around a building in frozen city earlier, no HuD bugged and it was the middle of firefight so I just instinctively alpha'd.

I'd of felt worse, but it's always so cathartic seeing a raven poof into tiny pieces.

you know the bugs are bad when STO looks like a good game

You know the bugs are bad when I joke in chat that you can buy a consumable for 15MC to improve your FPS and fix the map bug for one match and people think its real.

Seriously though my framerate is really bad now and seems random on how it runs on each map, Not much fun when its slow.

You know bugs are bad when - you start looking at your wife and thinking "Maybe this is the excuse I'm looking for to spend more time with her". D*** YOU PGI !!!! D*** YOU TO HELL

you know the bugs are bad when you get shot rear CT by two large lasers from behind after 20 seconds in game,turn around to see a lonely K2,alpha him then get a message from the dead guy saying "why did you shoot me?"
of course you say "because you did and could hardly miss seeing my atlas" and guy honestly says "but i shot the mountain to your left..."
target detection wrong,hud bugs,no IFF,bad fps since patch with latest drivers,no minimap or blackscreen every second game....
THIS SURE IS A BETA...NO MISTAKE !!!!!

You know the bugs are bad when

you manage to teach that enemy raven a lesson for stupidly standing still and then you see a team kill penalty message

That fps really has hit me hard....and you have it right that April 1 patch...has dropped it down so low I can literally watch each frame refresh...hell it is so slow that I can fricking count it...

Hey Dev team...been beta testing Mech Warrior games for almost 20 years now....and the same exact design problem always crops up....You design your toys for high end pc graphic systems...leaving over 70 percent of the pc base unable to play your new MW game....then your game fails because nobody steps up to play it other than the obsessive compulsive few die hards that are willing to invest thousands into high end gaming laptops or a thousand or so into a gaming desktop..

People with common sense...which is a quite rare commodity in the game design community...design games that can be played in a variety of environments....with the given and persistent reality of your PC base...you need an extreme low end graphics wise....to capture the majority of potential mech heads who are not rich enough to invest the bucks in a dedicated gaming PC.

Then you also have said game set up so that it can play the middle and the high end... Remember though...that middle and high end is less than 30 percent of your available market...the BIG market is in the low end laptops...

That's EXACTLY what WOW, Warhammer...and most of the other games have focused upon...

Yea..your low end user does not get the high level of pretties that give game designers orgasmic fits.....but they can STILL play and PAY!!!

Right now,,,you have a really REALLY* buggy beta that covers only the middle high end and high end market... This game is thus almost certain to be at best an irrelevant niche game simpy because of the lack of real market research...

Get smart...do some serious revamping of your strategy...and make this game's low end work....

Because after almost a decade without Mecha...I want this game to succeed!!!!

While I agree that patch killed my framerate. I have a mid to high end comp, so it does not just apply to low end users. Oh and if you think this game is so prettyful it's excludes mid end comps.... I've played Xbox 360 titles with better graphics.

You know the bugs are bad when 16 players have 1 intact HUD between them. Happened last night. Oh the FU we had...

You know the bugs are bad when

you have now become forumwarrior, with memories of having been a mechwarrior.

Had several graphical glitches over the weekend:

Dropped without IFF - Remembered which mechs were on my team and got 3 kills
Dropped without a Mini Map - Kept up my visual scanning and got 5 kills
Dropped without any HUD at all - Stayed with our main force and shot anything that shot at us, managed my heat by chain firing and stopping when I heard the warning, knew which areas to turn to protect by what Bitching Betty was telling me. No kills there but we won.

Bugs cannot stop me

THIS IS WHY WE CANNOT HAVE NICE BALANCE THREADS. THIS. It was bad enough when we had people saying, "Oh, the hunchback is fine, this one time my 1xLB10X 2xMG hunchback got top of the score board!!!" but now we have people defending the bugs, saying that the game is totally fine with them the way it is and anyone who thinks the bugs are bad just needs to l2p.

It's more because of the varying experience each player seems to have, Personally i have never seen the disco hud bug 1st hand. my ping is up since april 2 but i dont rubber band. My fps doesn't dip below around 40 fps, but it shouldn't given my system.

Now i don't ***** at peeps to update drivers etc because there are so many variables in there, but it also means it's not necessarily mwo's systems solely causing the issues. I do believe it's been stated win xp is know to create more problems that other os's. I know when i dumped my mid range ati vid card for a mid->high end single nvidia and kept the drivers as up to date as possible most of my fps lag issues disappeared......

This is where the "FIX IT" threads have to stop and the tickets with as much info as possible need to roll in. They have already tried 2 hotfixes, which were unsuccessful or worse for some (possibly most, hard to tell) so now we need to give them the info to make the next step

You know the bugs are bad when using third party shaders from an open source project created in someones basement work better than the ones included in the last patch.
