Congrats PGI!

Well since I haven't spend a single penny is this game (yet I do have fun when I get the chance to play), I decided to finally support you guys a bit and invested into Project Phoenix.

Looking forward to the launch date and the chance to use my Unseen Mechs shortly after.

Without CW is it really launch? At this point it seems like they are just announcing the arbitrary removal of "beta" from the MWO logo, yay! How exciting... Guess who's not buying a Phoenix package? This guy.

[Hellen Wheels]

From the article:

"...the original board-game was way to [sic] complicated and not fun....."

What a childishly ignorant point-of-view.

They've certainly bought into IGP/PGI's stance:

"MechWarrior is too complicated and not fun. Let's make it PPC on-line, that way it will be FUN."

Morons.

Eh, I'm not sure how they can call it a release at the rate everything has been slipping with no official word as to what's going on. 12v12 slips twice (supposedly to be released in June then on the first patch of July), no explanation given. Clans are invading the Inner Sphere, timeline disregarded and no Clan information given. Community Warefare stalled, dev blogs closed and no command chair or creative director update giving information as to their state of development.

As it stands right now, I can't justify spending any more money on this game due to the total lack of information at what's going on. Do I want the Phoenix pack? Hell yeah. Will I spend $80 on a game where the features I want most have no information whatsoever in regards to their state of development? Hell no. I love battle tech and I love the idea of what this game can become... but I'm just a bit jaded by the wall of secrecy the devs are hiding behind. I'm not angry that things slip past their deadline... I'm just one of many who want to know why.

[DeathofSelf]

I wish I could just half finish my projects at work and call them done.

[Deathlike]

Sept 17 2013 is the official day of disappoint. Good luck with that.

[anonymous161]

This is nowhere near ready for an official release unless they have been witholding A LOT of whats really happening. I cant justify spending 80 bucks for mechs in this game.

That is nice for you that life brought you a little joy.

In other news, I can't say I am pissed this is happening or that I feel the game isn't improving, but it is sure taking its sweet time. All in all the Phoenix deal was still solid in my opinion and still is now, but I will not give them any money from now on until CW is functional at a basic level or they offer us 12 v 12 custom games so we can arrange our own faction warfare placeholder. They need to deliver something more than a UI upgrade to open my wallet again. I am not angry, but I am firm.

I still love this game and want it to succeed, but I've given more than enough to get you to CW PGI, get it done.

[Unclecid]

ya know....i really want MWO to be battletech online and not just another moba with mechs.

i was so excited when closed beta came about, but i must say i havent liked the direction this game has moved in.

i am still trying to be hopeful that they deliver the game promised back in the day.

however i wont be surprised if they fail to do so.

if they do not go "live" on 17sept with some form of CW we can kiss that feature goodbye and mark MWO as just another cashshop moba.

this game should have never left closed beta without some part of CW and is no where near ready to be "live" imho.

the investment i had refunded when i felt they had failed to deliver as promised is still sitting in the bank waiting patiently for the day they are able to deliver the game i paid into.....though as time has gone by i feel that will never come to pass.

PGI has taught me to not invest in a pre-live game without guarantees that the game i invested is the game i get.

if i want to gamble i can always goto Vegas or AC.

[New Breed]

Yeah, 5 patches left. You guys are going to have to put in some serious over time.

[Vasces Diablo]

So they have 5 patches basically to add in:

12 v 12
UI 2.0
CW
And apparent of some form of 3pv
Weapons balancing/boating penalty.

...and really it's prob 4 patches because making major changes day of (or maybe a week before) release would be insane.

Yikes.

[Chemie]

Wait. We were told CW in Jan/13. As recently as March, they said CW Phase 1 was June. Now they are saying after UI2 and UI MIGHT be before release? So CW is MAYBE 4Q13????

[irony1999]

They've already pushed CW phase 1 back to around or after launch. UI 2.0 may not make launch either.

They're launching with whatever we get, no more promises of must have features. On the nice side, 12v12 is real close, and a new map is coming in the next month or so.

[Trystan Thorne]

I doubt we'll see a full CW at launch. Possibly some parts of it, but surely not everything.

While I'm a "the glass is half full" type, I agree with many people that PGI has a lot of work ahead to get as much as possible into the game before the launch.

I'm having still a lot of fun (maybe because I don't play that much due to being too busy at work), but looking at War Thunder for example, you can see the advantage of having more game types and more maps.

[Corvus Ward]

Whelp, that does it for me. Looks like it is going to be a repeat of FFXIV. Pretty, but no substance.
