If players can't figure out a way to save $5 a day over the period of a week, or even $1 a day over a 30 day month, maybe they should get a paper route. MC Protip: A player can save $30 or more in 5 days by not eating fast food/takeaway, and this can also have the advantage of being healthier!

SRMcat Protip: Keep outside 270m. Resist the urge to run up to the Voltronbot and attempt to punch it in the boingloins.

I hope this helps you become a better Gundamwarrior.

Umm, please be so kind as to **** off.

No one on this forum is interested in your unsolicited money management advice.

Just because people refuse to pay for overpriced premium content for a broken game does not mean they are poor and/or unemployed.

Try to at least conceal your condescending tone and classicism a little next time, and you might not look like a complete fool. In addition, don't preface your statements with "protip", it makes you sound like a teenager.

Say no to soda and drink filtered tap water.

Buy cloth diaper instead of regular diaper for the baby.

Bake your own damn pizza.

Some money saving stuff I learned to do.

Your right - the people that in charge of weapon balance should beat up the people in charge of sales

Oh wait, those are two totally unrelated groups

And it's better if you keep the fist fights in the family?

Domestic violence is still violence, son.



And aside from that, great "30 % off" sales and no MC sales and taking since closed beta to buff the machine gun and nothing done about making mixed weapon load outs more competitive with alpha-strike boats - maybe they should beat each other up.
Nah, that would still be violence.

Can't do much about it. It is the good wife who makes the decision in that regard. I am simply handed the bill every month.

Dear PGI, the community and I are very tired of the current meta. Alot of players have stopped playing because of the SRMcats and in the early days when SRMcats started ramping up all we got from you was "Shoot off the ears, guys!" ~ Community Manager

Yeah, God forbid this game should involve loadout weaknesses or intelligent thought. You could also just stay out of range of SRMcats.

If the devs have built a balanced enough game to provde you with the tools you need to handle any situation, and you don't use them, that's not on the devs.

Agreed. It's the part where people refuse to pay a reasonable price for non-must-have premium content for a free to play game and then whine about it being overpriced that means they are poor and/or unemployed.

You're gonna sit there at your keyboard after close beta, after everything in MWO that has happened up untill this point and tell me that the game isn't broken?

Yeah, because even though its not released yet, its heads and tails above all the previous 4 mechwarrior titles combined.

Quote

1. Weapon balance is broken to all hell.

The majority of the weapons (and there's alot less weapons in this game due to the era its set in compared to the previous titles) work in some form of competitive play. This didn't happen in previous mech titles. You couldn't hit anything with SRMs or LRMs in MW3. They didn't do enough damage in MW4 to matter.

2. MC pricing on hero mechs is absurd.

Staying on SSI for bi-polar isn't enough to sustain a gaming hobby, just a FYI. Get a waiver so you can get a paying job. If you're actually working, get a better paying job. www.goarmy.com start as an E2, get paid 1700 a month, free meals, free housing. Can easily buy every hero mech in the game after your first paycheck and have plenty for any other hobbies you have out there. That is, if your area doesn't have a better job than that.

3. Client stability is a joke. I crash aleast once everytime I play MWO.

Must be your machine, I've crashed maybe 2-3 times since January.

etc. etc. I don't wanna bore you.

Moving on, Getting into PUB games is just fine, I was talking about 8 mans. Go and form a 8 man right now and you'll at least "fail to find match" one time. The state of 8 mans is dire and paired with the current meta, this effect is only compounded in my opinion.

Lastly, I cannot gather concrete proof that the population has dropped, only PGI has access to those numbers( I don't know why they took away the player count in closed beta).

Then don't make assumptions based on, well forum complaints. The majority on these forums are normally wrong. Its riddled with trolls, malcontents, and kiddies who aren't happy unless they are complaining. Stick to quoting facts. And real numbers. Also the reason there was a player count in Closed Beta is because we were under NDA, that was information that was kept secret. Its Open Beta now so they disabled it being shown for corporate confidentiality purposes. They don't want competitors knowing how many people they have. Unless of course its a large large number that they can use for marketing purposes. But they won't display how many signed up or left over a period of time.

I can tell you why 8 mans probably aren't happening, its the reason why I don't go out of my way to be in them. There's no point. Dropping in an 8 man is the same as dropping in a PUG. Except I have to find 7 others ready and willing to drop as a group. And then we have to hope there's another 8 man waiting to drop too.

There's no incentive to find 7 other people right now. And I have to rely on my friend list to get groups started, snagging people who aren't in games. Or TS to find people not already in a premade 4man. Or some other form of chat. There's no ingame chat interface or lobby to help with this.

Now allow us to drop in 8 mans vs 8 mans we can choose, aka league play and that will happen quite a bit. League play is what many units are waiting to be supported by having those 'practice' games. Those are games that could be scheduled in advance and you know you'll have the people on at that time. In fact this is already happening since its easy for two teams to get on at the same time and sync drop against each other.

God bless the poor souls in any armed forces

but I would never suggest joining the military to afford hero mechs

hahahaha funny thought however

Not only did you alienate most the community when you left SRMcats virtually unchecked for the longest time.


Not only did you effectively kill the community when you blew up General Discussion.


Not only did you churn out so called "sales" when the game was so broken and con 40 year gold founders who don't know how to vote with their wallets because they played the first mechwarrior games and nostalgia'd so hard that they threw money at your feet.


Not to mention, where the hell is all that production value for the 5 million you made off the founder's program, cause I sure as hell don't see it.


The community is tired of poptarting and they've stop playing because of it. Just go in 8 mans and you'll get "Fail to find match" a least 3 times. If that doesn't tell you the state of affairs then I don't know what will. Maybe me griping some more?

Why people are leaving:

1. Weapon balance is out of wack because min/maxing.

2. They feel alienated by the community manager.

3. Price of MC is too steep, its F2P, its suppose to be MIRCOtransactions not MACROtransactions.

I can go on and on but I would start raging at that point, PGI.

With rage, a player since closed beta.

Hyperbole much? You should go into politics. You make great statements about what the "facts" are without actually having any.

Brilliant! <slow clap> Brilliant!

[Karazyr]

the QQ is strong with this one, your aware in ALL online games there will be people useing the most effective build, it just happens and mechwarrior is no different, and remember this is beta everything is subject to change, they could wipe everything clean and start over...they wont but it could happen

The comment on "ECM: Nerf It" is rather funny when most people, like myself, thought-tanked until our brains got bigger on how to actually introduce Information Warfare into the game. And all based on ECM's original intent, of which its intent now, combined with ECM/BAP/PPC is the following thought process, "Should I equip this to use ma LRM's and Streaks, so I can turn on/off?"

Pretty sad when there is obviously potentially in just making ECM, BAP, TAG, NARC, etc., do what they are supposed to do. We told ya'lls a thousand times what would happen with Big Fish Balancing.
