Well, you're in luck! You, and only you, get 4 extra drones on your team that carry/shoot their own ammo so you don't need to bring any extra. Huzzah!

Everytime PGI makes any post, everyone QQs.. cries and feels entitled to something. Gone the ways of working for something to earn it. You don't deserve dribblepoop.
PGI has expressed their love and passion for the Mechwarrior series and are working rather hard on it. They are open to HELPFUL suggestions and will typically say something via Podcasts every week through NGNG. They will not listen to mindless empty QQ, whine, complain, worthless critizing. People like THAT make game developing a hellish, exhausting chore so they may tend to just ignore it all completely.
Game is operating, you can play it fine. If you don't.. Make a LOGICAL THOROUGH suggestion and work around...
Or.. My lord, stop playing if all you're going to do is act like a pre-teen child who hasn't worked for jack.
Clearly they are making steps; be it any sort of uncomfortable manner to YOU- they are moving forward. Progress is progress even if it fails. Just found a way how it doesn't work. "Ye old Thomas Edison." mentality.

Relax, let them do THEIR JOB without being talked down with an infant like manner. I appreciate their work. I will continue to play and watch everything unfold.

I am wondering this as well, has there been any information given regarding the grouping?

Actually, you just have to jump thought ~ three interlinked threads to get the full scoop.

Yes, you can play if you don't have 11 friends handy.

[Arcturious]

Argh! I was all excited, got out my party hat and streamers.

Then saw that as usual Australians get screwed over yet again sigh.

3am to 5am, or 9am to 11am.

I can say, I'm not able to take a day off work to test MWO sadly.

Please consider a Friday afternoon timeslot, as that coverts to Saturday here in AU. Which means we can make the 9am to 11am one.

Otherwise, some of the people who will be most affected by 12v12 lag won't be able to test, and the first you will know about your game breaking is when you launch it on live servers and wonder why everything crashed and burned.

[Bishop Steiner]

A shame they are too busy pushing P2W content like early Victor access to actually be making progress on the game........



OOPS!!! What is this, the 12 v 12 test server going up tomorrow, the next big step to CW?!?!?!?!?!


OMG!!!! Now what will they QQ about?

(aside from weapon balance, etc, because of course, all things happen in a static bubble)

[KEYGETS]

This client now will be your main game client to play the game as it is. And if it goes to version 1.0 you need a extra client for the testserver. Like in World of Tanks i think. And yes you need to test your testservers... omg people always complaining

[Mainhunter]

The more, the merrier.

[ToxicValor]

Early Victors is not P2W... My K2 and Jager kill them quite fast.. and I do see them die from atlas' and such.. So.. P2L?
I don't understand that logic.. because there isn't any to begin with. C-bill purchase on sunday.. use MC to by the EXACT SAME VARIENTS? No way.. you're kidding.. The SAME mechs on both Early MC and soon C-bills? Okay.. who is winning besides PGI here.. I wonder. Lol

[Chavette]

1 problem I have. The test form we can fill has nothing related to game balance or mechanics? High ping isn't really the biggest problem with the game atm.

We invested money in this game that they promised. When they miss deadlines and break promises as they have been then you can bet we will complain.

12v12 should be interesting... thanks PGI, and keep up the great work!

You can believe what you like, but the vast majority of DHB members don't bother posting on these forums.

I wish I had a tinfoil hat meme handy.

And 100% of those that do edge towards insane sycophantism. You should probably stop being the amber locked, perfectly preserved, genetically perfect example of what a viral marketer acts like Bilbo.

Not really a good idea your going to see some quick sweeps the loss of 1 mech in a 8vs8 pretty much sways the game enough to know who's going to win. I think your going to see more sweeps in a 12vs12 once you lose about 4 mech its going to be all over. That added to mass fire on single targets is going to make you want to triple the armor given.

Also your trying to build a community up bring a public test servers into play is going to split up a fragile community into 2 separate groups. That's pointless.

Star Trek Online did this and it was just pointless because content was released onto the Tribble test server you would play through it then the content would release to Holodeck except you already played it all on Tribble test server 2 month ago.

Its like your opening up a 2nd closed Beta because your not sure if you want to add it to your Open Beta game.

Its just redundant and pointless.

you seem to kinda be missing the point, your close, but still missing it.
All online games need test servers. they need them to fix bugs and iron out problems before they apply patches to the main game servers. MWO is launching sep 17th (ready or not), so they need the test servers implemented before then, as that is when what are currently "beta test" servers will re -tagged the "live" servers. This will hopefully lead to better (ie: less buggy) patches on the main servers in the long run. it will also allow those with a higher tollerance for glitches and problems a chance to play the new features sooner.

As for your speculations on sweeps in 12 v 12 you are probably right, but PGI have thought about this. Russ mentioned it in the ngng podcast #79 i think. though, he didn't say what solution they had come up with. test it tommorrow and help them figure it out, thats what the test server is for.

You should remove ppc and erppc from this test servers because this is not live and you actually dont spend cbills and people will build 4-6 ppc/erppc without paying anything (they wont only if they dont have cbills), and even if they worst(high heat, bad HSR, something whatever) on test server no one will care, most people will be happy if that happen......

Or I might just enjoy playing the game. Some people still do.

[BillyM]

Awesome stuff guys.

...you atleast fixed PPC's and SRM's in the test server, right?

Bilbo's a Clanner in the Marketing Caste?!




Anyways, looking forward to 12v12... I'll probably miss every window due to being busy... but still looking forward to the idea of testing it

Unless they drop them on the new "Lava Maps".....

I have not seen anything that says that map WILL NOT be included.
