With the announcement of Project Phoenix, I'm sure a lot of people are going to start raging. Let me try (and will probably fail) at helping you all understand something:

The team that designs mechs (ie Iglesias and others) do the artwork. Their associates do the frame work. An entirely different team puts together the marketing schemes and there is probably another group that does nothing but sales.

Down the hall way, there are the people that don't do any of that. They work on weapon design (ie, Paul and others), game mechanics, etc. And then there are the code nerds that make do all of the actual hard work and implement things.

So, Project Phoenix people do NOT hamper the process of balance, design, etc. That means that, if this makes you mad, you should probably just take pause, breath a little, and understand, or try to at least, the process with the hopes of realizing that one doens't impact the other.



This has been a public service announcement.

Why is this in "Gameplay Balance" mods, geez....

Actually, the art team is imbalanced because they didn't include the Marauder or Warhammer.

It doesn't matter. If the company is not performing to what the community expects then the community has every right not to buy the developers product. Right now PGI is not performing, and they aren't talking to us to let us know if they plan on doing so in the future besides a weak "LOL NEXT MONTH GUYS" post from last patch.

Yeah people shouldnt be bitching about the art department, but that doesnt mean PGI shouldnt be getting flak for taking forever to change some numbers around.

C'mon Soy, nobody talks about balance here. They just vent cause this is taking away from balance. Wasted my time, sure, but I'm bored at work so it made me happy.

I think people are finally beginning to get this, I'm seeing a lot fewer complaints about it.

As far as I'm concerned the game is pretty well balanced, barring a few useless mechs (cough, Awesome) and the machine gun.

No it doesn't. However, when a company clams up hard while its product is having big issues and then suddenly they roll out a new way to make money off content that doesn't exist yet, it leaves people with only a couple scary conclusions.

This has nothing to do with balance, but I don't care.

This is the general discussion forum until they give us (back) a general discussion forum.

I love you Fup, but if I ever see you in game I'm going to kill you last, then DFA on your corpse yelling Marauder! over and over and over....
