By all means, let's redirect this straight to them. They deffinately need to see this for themselves.

@russ_bullock
@bryanekman
@Paul_Inouye

They sure have answered a few questions there.





....very vague....but it's an answer.

They're gonna release a new bobblehead that bounces around more when your mech gets hit with ppc's.

The funniest thing.... when I used to argue about imbalance regarding weapons/4mansInPubs/most things... a lot of the guys who white knighted my threads.... well they're the ones complaining about balance and the dropping community numbers in the current imbalance threads. So the guys that used to defend the status quo, when stomping and imbalance were rampant, now complain about stomping and imbalance. Guess we know who was the next rung up on the skill totem pole. White knights.. you should have listened months ago. told ya so

While they might say they have us "covered," the problem is they aren't doing it fast enough. Four months is too long! To wait another month... well, some people that left will have found something else to play by then and not care about MWO anymore.

This is the crux of the problem--PGI's lackadaisical pace to these gigantically game-breaking problems... problems (convergence) that were identified a year ago.

I find it amusing how you take slow development pace personally, enough that you keep posting that picture everywhere. Pretty common in these forums though, PGI is out to get you personally, etc.

We've been 3 months without a hot fix. There are plenty of really good suggestions out there to try. Most of them will work. Pick one and hot fix it. Don't tell us how you're going to fix it aggressively eventually.

Personally? No, you misunderstand, sir. I'm the proverbial mob with torches come to strap them to the pole upon the pyre and burn them at the stake. It was their own doing that lead to this and nothing more.

I cared about the game (would still like to). I provided input for months and months to no avail. I now see the trainwreck that it has become and I should sit idle and ignore it like everything is okay?

Hah. The harbinger has come and I trumpet my woes with loud bravado, cracking thunder upon their ears and coursing a torrent of vitriol to flood their senses. Sometimes, even Davinci and Michaelangelo had to sum their thoughts up succinctly in a simple piece of art. It isn't my art...

This is THEIR masterpiece!


(game balance shouldn't require four months to correct when in the past they've hotfixed things far more expeditiously than now. We're talking code here, not graphics, art, animations etc. Just good ole' fashioned coding.)

Yeah, you're only confirming my previous thoughts with that answer. Don't worry, it's just a game.

Hey, if you want to quote me and spread the joy of the picture, be my guest. No complaints here!

To some maybe but to those of us that have been waiting for this since the 80's It's heartbreaking to see the potential spinning down the drain.

The other sad state of affairs is that obviously PGI's elo is quite low and KE's is qutie high. THey got each other 3 times in a row, tells you how many people are actually playing 8 mans. Now just wait for 12v12's. And not to mention no role warfare, or any tonnage restrictions, 12 assaults with ppc's will truly be a blast.

You're wrong.

It's still a game, I would save heart break for things that really matter, but I guess to some folks games really do matter.

Oh, you silly guys and your melodramatics. I understand this is the Internet but try to ease off the emotions pedal.

LoL, its not like we take it too serious, its just idle chatter of doom.

Paul is slow and dumb but manipulative, so he realizes that PPCs were OP finally and is now trying to manipulate game balance to make more money by making PPCs op, and then releasing the heavy metal, and then the misery, and then the dragon slayer. All meta-compliant PPC boating robots of shame and grab deal. This isn't a game, it's a below minimally-viable product that they're manipulating balance for to make sales, PGI and IGP think they're manipulative and clever while all the fans just keep throwing money at them patiently knowing they're dumb and can't make a good game but are persisting through the strength of their fandom in the hopes that PGI/IGP will eventually learn to make a good game,
The game balance as a financial device is a real ploy, see league of legends for details.

That's because you're in a medium mech that can't boat PPCs, Budor. Your Len Lo must be really sad right now.

[Spudbuddy]

It's not that PGI is dumb and incompetent, it's that they're dumb, incompetent and trying to be manipulative, but they're dumb and can't make a game anyways so it just goes terribly.
