I'm hoping they show us this hidden artwork quick-sharp! (After patching please?)

Although I'd bet on it being revealed a week before release.

The Quickdraw means we are going to have a new assault !!!

It's 60 tons. It's a HEAVY.

Sigh... Tiffany cufflinks shat and again it's overshadowed by cynicism.

WHAT?! A shuffle of Mechs!!!! No one bothers to assume something about it was not ready for release and herald the decision to offer a replacement rather than leaving the shipment empty?

WHAT?! 12 v 12 delayed again!!! No one bothers to assume testing it might be better served on the test servers than on the public ones to avoid the whole "this is broken garbage how can you foist this upon us!" diatribes?

WHAT?! 3rd person moves forward!!! As if no one knew this was not still in the hopper nor appreciating the fact that it's AN ELECTIVE OPTION and actually will work as a filtering mechanism to help separate the serious MW players from the more casual players?

Nothing but wailing and gnashing of teeth...

Par for the course. It takes little effort to drive everyone crazy.

I really, really hope to get into a match where EVERYONE has one, it'll be fantastic

At this rate, there will not be enough people to care.

Does that mean we'll get a Quickdraw QKD-5Mr, which has ECM?

Also, WHY? (with respect to 3rd person) Nobody freakin wants this.

Probably not since it has ER Medium Lasers. Will be their excuse not to introduce it.

I'm officially confused now... So when the hell is the Orion coming? Is it coming AT ALL??? This is not the way to do a reveal Bryan...

If you read through the thread, it's delayed 3-4 months. Of course, if you are raging over all the stuff that's posted here, you wouldn't need to know how much more you could be annoyed.

How about they say **** their stupid cycle system? It's not like its causing a good spread of tonnage in match ups. Release the Orion sooner rather than later. **** the cycle system, it doesn't work anyway.

I get the feeling that they need to make 2 models for the Orion, what with the LRM launchers being in different locations but the models looking the same...

Which could possibly be the reason for it being pushed back.

A lot of nothing.

Hail,

I call shenanigans.

I'm Khan of Diamond Shark/Shiver. We're a small group (50+ members in our Touman) but have a lot of people who love the basic mechanics of the game and are doing our best to give you all the benefit of the doubt.

HOW IS THERE NO WORD ABOUT COMMUNITY WARFARE?!

I do not care about these new mechs. I do not see a new map. There isn't a new game mode. There isn't anything significantly different in June to make anyone give a royal poop. I have supported you guys for the past year. I have enjoyed this game through having cancer, was despondent when I learned I won't be playing the game for at least 4 months as I recently won a Fulbright scholarship, and now this..

I AM FED UP PGI! I'm that guy PGI... The one that goes against the negative voices. That pushes people to remember the evolution of the game. Where we have been. Where we have come. I have tried so hard and now that we should be in the first stages of CW (helping teams stay together) ... You are letting me and my team down.

I am sure people will waste MCs to pick up these damned mechs. It's a shame. I am starting to wonder if Belphegore is correct...

I am fed up. I'm switching my allegiances. I'm tired of the poop. Tell us about Community Warfare!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, and if the "Blue" is the same colour blue you've used for chat previously YOU DONT GIVE A RATS TAIL ABOUT US! I say this because it is THE WORST COLOUR OF TEXT in relation to the game world you have. IT IS ABYSMAL and something that should have changed a long time ago if ANY OF YOU CARED that this is a team game and that some of us try to do what we can with the tools given (ie, no in game chat (whenever the C3 "hint" comes up... Meh. Just meh)). (As a reference, I sometimes take over lance command now JUST so that people can read my text).

There is a thread specifically for discussing the way 3rd Person View will be implemented. It is here: http://mwomercs.com/...095-3rd-person/

Anyone can feel free to visit that thread to leave suggestions/join discussion about the implementation of 3rd Person View. Please keep in mind that the thread linked is meant for constructive discussion, however, so please try to keep your comments relegated to ways 3PV can be added to the game positively/non intrusively. Also, bear in mind, the Devs have said that you will be able to choose whether to fight 3PV/1PV opponents Your discussion points could use that point as a stepping-stone for further discussion...

I have learned to not fully believe anything Bryan tells me, and I think others feel the same. I was told 12v12 in 30-60 days, Orion in June, etc. etc.. The list goes on.

Its finished along with "6 other designs just waiting to go"
Marketing and ****-trickle updates is the reason for the push back.

[NextGame]

great update, shame its not urbanmech!!!

was looking forward to the Orion due to it being iconic in terms of the lore (have been reading the ebooks), but its not the end of the world and the quickdraw will be getting added to my collection just like all the other mechs.

[Magitek]

I just hope a 'quickdraw' isn't pulled out when the Victor's turn comes up. I'm really looking forward to a fast assault mech. Speaking as a Dragon pilot, I enjoy the faster lighter end of the classes. The assaults currently don't have a chassis that fits that roll.

it's probably a possible amount of new players this feature might attract.

Worst case scenario, 3rd person is in and attracts no new players.

If it can be abused to gain an advantage, you can be sure all the current crybabies who are against it will use it...

Lol nice joke, i already make a promisse in another thread. If 3rd person gets in for competitive, i'm out. I'm a man of my word.

I ordered a pizza the other day. The pizza man told me it would come to my house in about 30min. A week later the pizza man shows up with my pizza, after I call him many times asking where my pizza is. I'm supposed to be happy I got the pizza even if it's a week late because I'm not a pizza man?

this is a terrible metaphor, have you paid PGI for the entire development, implementation and deployment of the Orion? no. Have you put money towards this game? yes. The difference is you paid for access to certain features or certain variants of mechs as they've been released. no where here are they OBLIGATED to deliver something specifically for you.

The amount of general ********* going on here is ridiculous. I understand people get impatient waiting on things, but crap happens in development. What if the Orion was OP and they released it anyways? then all of you would ***** and moan about balancing issues. If they don't think it's ready and needs to be bumped then tough luck.

I don't have kids (yet) but honest to God it feels like I'm having to explain to a bunch of children why they didn't get the present they wanted for a birthday/Christmas.

[Uncleclint]

Whens the 3rd person view coming exactly? That day we will know if to abandon MWO or keep on playing.

It´s all in your hands now PGI, if you really want 3rd person view, keep your promises and make it so that this won´t affect the ppl that choose 1st person view.

Rest of the announcements - couldn´t care less (sry but nothing interesting at all in coming in june)


See you in July

Seriously. They should have just done a 3050 Banner hanging object that says "Mechwarrior against cancer" and I would have bought 20-30 dollars worth.

Thank you. As far as I'm concerned, you guys proved yourselves right here. I'm not even mad about the third-person stuff.

You won me over right here. I may not always agree with every decision you all make, but you've got me for the life of the game. I'm pretty sure a few others out there agree with me.

Good on ya, guys. :-)

This right here is what unsettles me about the Sarah mech. Nothing to do with supporting cancer charity. Everything to do with some freebie postive PR.

It's sick. (No, the smelly vomity kind, not the "wow cool bro" kind)

Marketing and PR is their downfall.

Even if there is truth in what they say, it's actually harder to find the info (twitter, NGNG podcast, scattered forum posts) that it makes you wonder how they would like to drive people AWAY from their game.

Heck, even PGI/IGP is trying to hire a marketing guy to ANALYZE US so they can PROFIT. This is not imaginary poop we're making up here. This is REALITY.

Dear Bryan,

Putting the Quickdraw in this month is a massive mistake. It offers nothing that we do not already have. We have the Dragon at 60T, with comparable hardpoints and speed.

What's worse, is that given the current state of the game, mechs in the middle . . . anything more than 40T and less than 70T, are simply fodder. Without weight limits, this mech is meaningless because it simply can't compete. At least the Orion was big enough to matter. This mech will die a quiet death as soon as all the folks who are completionists finish grinding it quickly to Elite.

This is also the first time you've chosen to bring a mech into the live game without any sort of announcement preceding it.

Honestly, there is also very little of interest to the community at all this month. I'm sure you guys are going like gangbusters behind the scenes, but until you can figure out a way to excite your community on a week in, week out basis you're going to continue to see folks unhappy with what you're doing.

Thank you for reading.

[Coolant]

Jump-jet shake very welcome as I don't use them and refuse to use them. Hopefully leads to shorter range combat and in-your-face brawls.

HSR on missiles welcome, hopefully improves Streaks to make them more viable again.

Really looking forward to 3rd Person (no, not being sarcastic). Love that view and will bring me back to the old MW4:Mercs days. I will play in 3rd Person as much as I possibly can and will probably only play 1st Person if most of my unit is playing it.

EDIT: Ok, so doesn't look like HSR or weapon balancing touched Streaks....
