Twitter actually owns incredibly hard, but using it for dumb video game stuff is nerdy and stupid. Don't do that

[Aym]

I look forward to this forum, I'd like to encourage people to keep this conversation civil and come with an open mind, leave your preconceptions about any groups in attendance behind and evaluate the ideas for their own merits.

Town hall to save MWO. I like it and am looking forward to it!

Oh man, a whole 5 #savemwo tweets so far.

Man the goons have started a storm!

There have been more #savemwo tweets than #mwo tweets. I think this is called making a point.

Could have been interesting.

I myself am a J4G spy. You'll never hunt me down though don't even try. I'm in a bunker 2 miles below the Earth's crust and all I've had to sustain myself are currency trading, this vacuum mail tube that delivers hot pockets and bottled water and Mechwarrior Online.

Anyway, PGI's in a similar echo chamber as far as I can tell.
How are we going to be able to reach them?
I know some people are upset at the prospect of asking for refunds on Fenix, but I'm actually depressed about robots. I'll likely soldier on since I'm a Legendary Founder and I've got plenty of robots to play with in the future and Marmolade that'll remain fairly flexible down the line, but jesus christ. It's hard. It's hard to SAVEMWO when the people who can have disconnected the Big Red Phone to avert the nuclear crisis they've brought on themselves.

Also there's no such thing as troll builds unless you're a pink atlas rocking dual TAGs and LRMs.
edit: Alternatively robots using nothing but pulse and flamers constantly asking "if you are ready for summer"

also edit:
I guess all I can say in support of the Town Hall is:

Be prepared to play the devil's advocate against your arguments because there are still a lot of players out there who will look at good evidence and flatly reject it without consideration. So you have to step in to pretend to be a reasonable version of that person to shut down the perception that you're giving a one-sided argument.

Request to the Word of Lowtax ... for those of us who cannot attend, for whatever reason, please post a recording of the event.

Yep. It's going to be recorded in case anyone misses it or wants to catch up on some points.

Is this an evil goon plot or a long overdue important effort? I still haven't decided yet, but i sure hope it's the latter. In which case I'd greatly appreciate it.

It's a goon plot to help the game get better. I'm pretty sure that's not evil?

Clearly you should live stream it, it would be so action packed.
(funny part is, it WILL be action packed.)

Anyone who wants to come and listen live can do so. It's being held on an open (albeit moderated) mumble server.

[MCXL]

I support this.

Oh, and I'll be there.

JadeRaven and all:

While I'm not the WHI CO, I will work to get WHI bodies to attend and get our command structure on board. I am unable to attend myself because of a prior family commitment.

Will the town hall be recorded? Frankly, I wouldn't tell ahead of time even if you know that it will be, because I think it's important to show huge numbers present. But maybe I'll be surprised on Friday.

I wish you success and thanks for doing your best to help the overall community - the haters will always doubt

Having dropped against JadeRaven and company in 8 mans several times, I can say from personal experience that he has a deep understanding of the overall game meta.

If I come up with any self-identified brilliant offerings, I'll post them ahead of time.

Good luck!

I haven't read through all the posts as of yet, But it seems the most glaring problem with the game for me, is lack of maps. I want maps, lots of them. I can get over unmatched weapons.

t could be the weapons are pretty matched, it's just we all know how to use them in the few maps we have available. Put out 12 maps. I could play for hours. I remember back in MW4 days, Microsoft would come out with maps all the time, and players could make their own, it was great fun to experience that. If PGI can crank out more terrain, I would be here more often for sure.

How to save MechWarrior:Online?

Fix weapon/equipment balance.


Thats literally all you have to do. Boating issues and useless weapons issues will vanish.


Imagine if you actually saw a brawler with a working LBX10?

Imagine if NARCs gave guidance to SRMs?

Imagine if the command console did something?

Imagine if PPC/Gauss weren't the only weapons being used?

Imagine useful pulse lasers?

etc.

wow this will be pretty amazing way to get the info out there. Make a community list of no goes and ideas that will save the game and the community. All the while this should help net considerable profit for the company if they actually know whats good for their business.

[Morhadel]

See, I'm the opposite way. If stuff was actually balanced, I could play forest colony literally all day, because it's the best, most balanced map. Everything works on it, sniping, brawling, mixed comps, whatever. You can do all sorts of strats and just change it up when you get bored.
