Since the devs have stated CLEARLY by not stating clearly, there will not be Clans in this game for some time.
As a result, while the various teams that have spent hundreds of thousands on this game (which are Clan based), we have gotten no further in the Beta in regards to Clan tech/mechs/etc.
Not to mention, they still have poor hit detection on the Spiders (REALLY, 4 Guass, 4 AC 20 doesn't kill that rat?!) and no knockdown (c'mon, a Spider running full tilt ought to do some damage to you, but if you out ton it by oh, I dunno, 50 tons, it should rebound on it's a$$-But PGI disregards the Laws of Newton), there is so much balance work to be done, they have effectively removed themselves from the realms of serious gaming and on to the "what makes the most money RIGHT NOW" phase.

I'll admit that some changes have been good-My heavy shouldn't be able to climb a 70 degree incline. My PPC should have a minimum range. But I digress.

Clans will not be in the works (MAYBE) for some time, And when they do, what kind of penalty will they have? Nerfing of weapons? Reduction of drop weight? Oh, wait, ELO took care of that already. So 5 on 8 (Typical star vs typical Lance) is out already.

While I generally put the BLUF (Bottom Line Up Front) in the first line, I felt I had to explain my position first. Plus, on a side note, I really don't give a flip if you disagree.

I disagree.

This would assume we all know where PGI are exactly with their fixes. Which we don't.

Well, definitely remains to be seen, however let's hope for the best...

No.

There will not be clans for a long time. The next several months will all be focused on Community Warfare and its phases, which we have been told many times before.

Clans will most likely come eventually, but don't hold your breath because you will probably be waiting until at least a year+ from now before we start to see It (according to Russ from the NGNG podcasts).

Yes there are bugs and glitches and balance issues, but there is still a bit of time until the game launches so lets wait until that time until we rip out our hair from having a Spider run through volleys of ammunition and laser beams.

Patience. The game Is still very fun despite the downers.

Am I the only one that sees an "Anti-Spider and Elo Sucks, reintroduce knockdowns" whine prancing around dressed like an interesting Clan related thread? 0.o

And? Were WoW players playing deathknights in WotLK before BC was even released? Such is video game development and Content expansion. The roadmap has ALWAYS been Comminity warfare then Clans, anyone that thought otherwise is an expert in self-delusion.

So you don`t like spiders and feel knockdown needs to be reintroduced.. how is this Clan specific?

So you already asnswered your "question" about how the Clans will be balanced with an Elo whine....

Why even start the thread if you already have all the answers? At least the title is fitting, I`not sure why it exists, either...

Again, this is a "Spiders and elo suck, reintroduce knockdowns" whine-thread masquerading as Clan related. Therefore, it is obviously in the wrong forum (in addition to being superfluous from the get go). The Gameplay Balance forums are for whining about (perceived) gameplay imbalances.

Whether PGI are a bunch of money grubbing roaches that do nothing or hard working team that will unveil an unprecedented game never before seen in gaming history, only time will tell. PGI can't be THAT stupid, they must have something BIG in the pipeline. all this hush hush twitches my nose. Either they'll pack up after launch and just throw in the towel (nicely coming off this projected with a netted 25 million.) Or unleash the clans, CW and everything will just blaze away in 2~3 patches and suddenly the lump of coal MWO is now will be a marveling diamond.

That was me 6 months ago. Now it's the same only my 80$ hope has turned into 2c. Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.

oh my, i feel so ashamed to share a faction with the OP.
4 forum posts, and i guess under 500 games or so, and he is complaining about lack of physics.

Pal, you should have seen the closed beta.

This game has improved from what it was, it has evolved (and i am NOT saying all chances were good).
And it is still in development.

edit: if you think spiders are annoying now, imagine them with lag shield, they were totally invulnerable, that is gone now. learn2aim.
also, ramming enemies, oh my, what a tangled web that was. dragon was king of destruction derby on a field filled with mechs, yes, it collapsed atlai down, and everything else on that matter, without going down itself.

Changes are coming, a lot of them, be patient.

So, how about, you quit your whining, spend your money on WoT or WoW, come back after a year or so and we'll see, hmm?

Or, you keep beta testing this and giving a thing like "feedback", yes FEEDback, not whineback.

my 2cents for this thread that servers absolutely no purpose whatsoever.
