Where is PGI? Since weeks no answers or comments are written by PGI. Only the weekly sale posts. Whats up with them? Why dont they answer anymore, why they dont write any comment? No statement why the orion didnt come this month or the next months , no statement to the 3rd Person View, no comments or news about the community warefare thing... Silence....

They don't really visit their own forum because warrented and unwarrented criticism is far too toxic.

They did leave a couple of mods behind for crowd control.

I hope said mods are stacking HP and with all their normal MT's gone I hope atleast one of them is a skilled MH, if not then I fear they might not be able to hold things together in the long run.
Cuz CC alone wont hold the community at bay forever...

I start believing that this game wont come out as promised... That the money and resources go elsewhere. But i hope i am wrong...

The devs already confirmed that the money from the Founders already went to other projects they are working on.

Paul's been pretty active, there was a ui 2.0 teaser post almost every day last week. I'd be thinking they went to e3 this week, even if they aren't promoting.

[Galen Crayn]

So this is only an unimportant side project they doesnt care about too much? Is this the reason nobody of them cares about the fanbase and this forum? Why this forum if they are not interested in what the people write?

I don't have a link ready, but I remember that it was said in a post made by a dev.

In other words, the money they gained went to the publisher... just like in every game so far in existence that has a publisher involved.

Unless the developer goes Kickstarter, he will always have to give the money to his publisher and if said publisher is supporting other games as well, the money will go there as well. For instance: Starcraft 2 and Diable 3 were created from WoW money, MechAssault was created from Mechwarrior 4 money, World of Warplanes is made from World of Tanks money, Mirror's Edge was created from Battlefield money and so on...

And how the Funds to start up MWO came from some other game which came before (Meaning before the Founders sales).

Or do people really think that the money to hire and pay all the PGI Staff dedicated to MWO as well as the rights to the product licence and the rights to publishing a commercial game with the Cryengine came from Paul's private funds?
He must have been a millioaire at some time in the past then.

Lets see... post of the developers...

And I saw him yesterday

Subtract the weekend and that's 0 to 5 workdays of absence. All of these posts are information updates or interaction with the community. Obviously the developers are gone for weeks and no longer care about the community.

[Iacov]

not to mention bi-weekly AtDs...
and monthly creative director updates

Pwned.

[Galen Crayn]

They could make it as a newsletter. for that you do not need a forum... There was no explanation why the orion will come out in 5 month or whats up with 3rd PV, and so many things they told us they will tell us in 4-6 weeks and now half a year is gone without any information... If that is for you a good service... In all other mmo`s the forum is looked after by the admins, but not here.

Wherever you are getting your information is atrocious, and you've only been around since late April, so I don't know where this 6 month "No Information" period statement is coming from.

They explained why the Orion was delayed. That mech didn't diversify the current meta.

3rd PV was confirmed to be launching in the Training Arena as early as next month.

Also, a newsletter is released a couple of days after every patch, along with monthly developer updates and bi-weekly Ask the Devs.

Yeah I love those, where they answer 90% softball questions that people already know the answer to and there's maybe 2 or 3 questions total that are actually engaging with insightful answers, really amusing.

Not to take away from your point because it is valid but... it would also help if people stopped asking the softball questions

[Galen Crayn]

So where is the community warfare that should be implemented NOW? You know if 3rd PV and cockpit view will be mixed? Tell us! And the orion, first it was the june mech and now they delay it 5 month, why?

THAT is no explanation because first it was good enough and all were waiting for it.
