People are going to run the OP down, but seriously, a lot of these changes could be done rather easily.

It's silly that equipment like the BAP, NARC, and CC are almost entirely useless when so many excellent suggestions that fit perfectly into the game have been suggested. Mostly simple number tweaks, nothing too taxing to implement.

PGI's communication with the community has been dreadful lately. Hostile, pouty, defensive, they treat the core player base like the enemy. It's disgusting.

I would actually do something like have ECM maybe ower missile damage some to represent the harder to lock on set for missiles. Andcertainly would not let ECMs stack like they currently do.
You would have to actually fix weapon damage first before doing this. One of MWO's biggest problems, to me, is how fast mechs get destroyed right now, because of lack of damage variation. The armor is still too thin for how would actually play out if the game is going to continue to allow for pin-point accuracy like it does with the only variation from shot to shot being how twitchy the shooter is.
I would just make them 2x as they should be and be done with it. They take up 3 criticals and 1 ton each.
Machineguns need to be buffed, they excuse of them being ballistic lasers is just that, an excuse. The fact that machine guns, unlike other weapons in the game, actual do not hit the same exact spot for each round as is, and considering their laughably short range, it's rather silly. As far as BAP goes, it should be the direct counter to ECM.
Considering some variants are go to variants as is, I would be leery of any new variant especially fi it is a more popular variant because it has the ideal hardpoints on it.
Your assumption is based on TT rules which are radically different from MWO. Since the games play radically different and if you actually sit down and do some calcs, you will find the clan mechs if they are converted as is are at best, on par with current battlemechs, or at a severe disadvantage. So people asking for clans to fight at a handicap seem to be making grievous errors.
And what would the point of this be?

I don't get this last one at all either.

At least you are arguing about the points I made. Thank you.

People either assume PGI is made of all-knowing Gods or PGI is made of incompetent people. No, PGI is made of people. They proved they can be very talented and can do lots of good decisions but they also proved they can be stubborn and mistaken.
It was necessary a great community cry-out to change the first coolant concept - which proves that our opinions might me right and might be listen.

Nope, all DHS should be true 2.0 heatsinks, mythical jenners notwithstanding.

Jenners aren't the only Mechs that can be mastered to unlock greater than 2.0 DHS efficiency.

Odanan, we both know it was done and didn't work, sadly.

No, they never properly did it.

If I owned PGI, I'd sell it and retire.

[Nathan Foxbane]

Really? And you would do all that how? By snapping your fingers?

You do not own PGI. So maybe if you told them how, not vaguely, but specifically they might just take notes and try one or two. Right now you have a list of things you believe need to be "fixed" with no input on how to actually fix them or why in detail they are wrong.

Useless thread is useless except as troll bait.

I run a 13 year old business in the most predatory business environment. I might not know how to run a game development company but what do you know to judge me?

pics or it didn't happen.

Besides i didn't judge, i made a baseless claim, based on little or no info in a vacuum.

Much like you made a list of you personal qq's and declared you'd take care of them first thing.

The topic post comes across as a bit wishful and unrealistic. It's like "If I ruled the world, I would decree that everything always work perfectly. Also, no one would ever die again. Ever"

Good luck with that.

It is wishful thinking. What I don't understand is that people are not discussing the changes I proposed, but the fact I'm "not capable of own PGI".

Well, I know that you don't know how to run a game development company, thus would probably look as incompetent as PGI frequently makes themselves look.

Y'know, kinda like if Magic Johnson tried to run a talk show.

This right here. I am still a bit at a loss that they went to open beta without lobbies and CW.

None of the information i've seen about their CW makes me think it's that amazing that it couldn't be in testing already.

Because each point has been discussed, argued over, rediscussed, have multiple paged threads with all the ideas you had in them over a thousand times over. Long story short it was already discussed damnit!

- Fix Relationship with the Community: release the existing concept arts, sketches, orthos, WIP screenshots, everything! Post complete patch notes, comprehensive "upcoming content" (Creative Director), explanations about how the Community Warfare and Clans will work, etc.

I don't get why people are upset with them holding this stuff back. We knew for months ahead of time what mechs were coming out and we still have a couple more to go. Getting all the ones they have ready to go will be like opening present on Christmas, it will be a surprise. Why do you hate Christmas?!?!

In all seriousness they need to do this for marketing and promotion reasons (which is part of running a business after all). As they approach launch, they need to have material to provide web sites and publications to generate publicity. If everything is known already, said sites/publications won't write about it, thus no publicity.

No preformace fixes? I would have to buy a new computer. So, I would not be able to give any money till preformance is at a playable state.
