I cannot, at this time, justify paying another $80 towards this.

Not without some kind of details on what the game is going to be post-launch.

I am petitioning PGI to give us some kind of real, detailed information on Community Warfare prior to the end of the Project Phoenix sale.

Please give us some solid details on what we are paying into, because I can't justify another $80 for what we have, and believe it or don't, I really do want the Pheonix Overlord package.

[xDeityx]

At least tell me what Loyalty Points are if you want me to spend money on a 'mech that gives a 10% boost to them.

Knowing the stats of the other two non-"hero" variants would be pretty awesome as well.

[Albert Ishkabibble]

I am in complete agreement, I want oh so badly to drop $80 on a Pheonix package. But I don't know that I will within July, which I believe is the early bird cut-off, due to the planned changes for this month.

With 12v12 only on the public test server, potentially reaching the general server end of the month, I don't know that there will be enough to make the call. I keep on waiting for the patch that will finally begin to flush out this game, but that seems indefinite at this point.

To PGI: Make me buy it!

Oh and the Sarah Mech has been pushed to the 'No ETA' column. No offense, but I feel that this just epitomizes their inability to estimate/plan appropriately. I feel like this has got to change over time i.e. learning curve. But who knows.

Entirely agree with this, we need more information about community warfare before as consumers can make a informed decision, especially with some of us not sure if the money invested into project pheonix is worth the continued support. I probably will be getting project pheonix because it is for the most part a good deal, BUT would also like to know more about community warfare and what loyality points do.

Dont hold your breath for some info on CW.
They have said now for several months that we will get info soon.

[Syllogy]

Meh, I'm not worried. Sure, Community Warfare is a big part of MWO, but Community Warfare isn't the core game.

Well they should probably not hold their breath for any more of my money

Worried is a strong word. But Community Warfare is what truly sold me on doing the Legendary Founder's pack.

Not sure if this was sarcasm or not.

But regardless, if all they intended is for the core game to be one dimensional, then they have succeeded. New content (assets) is great, but unless you drown people in an ocean of it, it won't keep anyone engaged for long.

CW is what sold me on MWO over other games - probably true for a lot of people - its The end game content for MWO. So there's a lot more riding on CW than just Phoenix - they blow it then thats it for this game long-term.

[Hobo Dan]

They will probably make a large, informative post about CW on July 26, so all of us waiting for CW info miss the Early Bird 30+ Premium time.

But I agree, I want Overlord, but not until I know something about CW.

[Phemeto]

aye, im holding out aswell, because they kinda blew all their mech announcements for the next 6 months...and all we ever get is mechs and maps...soo...anything else coming out in the next 6 months?...that actually make a difference to the game? (UI2.0 is cool and all, but its just UI, 12v12 is awesome, but its the same game with more PPC, Heat penalty wont change a damn thing in the meta, the Highlander will dominate with the incline changes....)

[Huge]

Agreed 100%

Demand transparency and accountability before committing more money to this game. Blinding throwing cash at them is NOT a good thing and only negatively reinforces the idea we're all complacent dullards that will eat up any deal. Despite problems with the game or lack of content.

No, the core game is the combat itself, we have that. Community Warfare takes that core component and uses it to create a system that illustrates a global campaign.

[Bhael Fire]

Even if they said the game was going to stay exactly the way it is now, I still would buy the Overlord package.

I'm still having a lot of fun playing this game, despite its shortcomings.

What the F did i just read?Community Warfare is THE core feature.

And yes,i want community warfare information prior to the end of the phoenix sale too.That's the best thing they could actually do.Give us a really huge post with explanations and picture about it.It would definitely boost their Project Phoenix sales.

No it is not.

It is kind of like Clan Wars in WoTs. Sure alot of people will take advantage of it but even more will just casually drop in PUGs and never engage in CW and alot of them will spend alot of money.

CW is just a feature, definately not the Core.

Note: Please keep in mind that everyone has different opinions. To alot of people, including myself, I just don't give a crap about CW. I don't want to join a clan or a regiment and don't want to deal with being part of an organization. I just want to casually drop into a game and have fun. To that end, CORE features to me will be Gamemodes, Scenerio battles, NPC tanks/armored infantry, More mechs, more maps, etc. CW is very, very low on the list for me and this is the case for alot of people as well.

Signed.

I has been over a year since we had any details of CW, which was supposedly one of the pillars of game play along with role warfare. Many founders (my self included) were sold on the idea of not just mechs slugging it out in yet another arena style shooter, but the "Deep metagame" of CW. If it ends up like clan wars from WoT, I'm done, I will take my money elsewhere and lament the loss of what could have been.

Viktor you can claim that a lot of people don't care about CW, but I can also say with confidence that a lot of people do care. The question you have to ask is will the latter group continue to pay to support a game where the feature they want most is not getting in, and if not, will the former group be able to keep this game afloat without them.

besides, we are not asking much, we are just asking for a few command chair posts on how it will function before the end of july (or at least before the end of project phoenix). You can argue as much as you want that it doesn't matter to you, but it matters to us and WILL factor in on my choice to purchase more into this game.

[armyof1]

Playing MWO right now without CW is like playing poker without the possibility to make any bets. You just play, you lose, you win but there's no end goal at all. Any game needs some kind of goals and rewards for reaching those goals, otherwise it just turns into pointless grinding after a while.
