I think Id be happier if it WAS trolling and not dangerous incompetance

Stuff like this may be one of the reasons PGI does not communicate with us as much as they should. Why bother explaining what went wrong and why if people are just going to insult you.

Bug is fixed and will be in for next patch. Issue = when the mech doesn't have enough room to spawn, the collision capsule defaults to a human scale, flat top cylinder, which makes it almost impossible to navigate our levels.

Sorry for the annoyance this has caused! It was my bad, I wasn't paying attention to where the spawns were when I was adding some last minute art. Sloppy.

Thanks alot for the open com, very much appreciated!

Youre right, the game is perfect, we should just ignore the faults, so maybe theyll talk to us.

please show me where I said the game was perfect .

so being critical of PGI/IGP/the game in general ISNT



cause you are contradicting yourself

Sorry still don't see where I said the game was perfect in fact I never said anything about the quality of the game.

Kevin! You're super forgiven.
You could have deleted the entire game by mistake, but that's okay because you took the time to come in and talk to us.

Simply put: Thank you! And you're awesome.

funny; I can see where you sidestepped that question though.
Nice one.

There's a difference between providing valid, helpful criticism and just being a jackass.

Calling a group of people 'dangerously incompetent' after they admit to, address, and apologize for a simple error is very much the latter.

OK guess I have to explain it to you ,there is nothing wrong with criticizing the game ,we need to point out the problems in it so they can fix them, the problem is when people like you insult the developers instead of trying to communicate in a respectful manner is why I think they don't talk with us as much as they should. Someone came forward and admitted they screwed up and that the problem was being fixed but all you could do in spit in their face.

Thank you ,someone understood what I was trying to say.

OP: There's a problem with X

Dev Response: This is what was causing the problem. That was my fault. It has been fixed.

Most responses to the Dev: THANK YOU

Minority Response: Dangerous Incompetence


Come on, guys. We're better than this.

Yeah it's sad how one person can ruin it. But Kevin is a bigger man and can easily look over top of such small people

However I will say they should have been more careful when the new stuff got placed. Hopefully things will be double checked next time.

Don´t mind Thunderklaws. I cannot tell you why, but his last 5-7 responses I read on this forum are nothing than bitching.

No criticism, no specific point he tries to make, just plain bitching. Like in "Everything sucks"

While I have my share of grudges with PGI and how they handle this game I am not above admitting and appreciating it -when- they do something right. Like admit that there is a problem, say sorry and remove the problem. Like Kevin just did. That doesn´t mean everything is fine. Far from that. But in this specific instance PGI (or maybe only Kevin) did something right. And if it should be the one and only time they did I will still concede it was right.

PGI, hire more Kevins.

That was funny, but surprisingly true. It's that attitude we need here, it's always nice hearing directly from programmers/designers and getting a direct objective response, instead of politician talk, stuff that do nothing.

+1 to you Kevin.

Kudos for having the ********** fortitude to own up to mistakes!

I hope others follow your example - admitting to your mistakes gets you oodles of respect from me and rekindles my faith that MWO will end up awesome.


Good on you Kevin, good on you!

I bought a new keyboard because I thought my W key was broken.

[Kattspya]

Kevin, you are forgiven but whoever let that get through testing is not.

[Tom Sawyer]

Way cool to man up Kevin!

I spawned there once and it sucked.

[TexAce]

Great, now we just need Paul to confess he was drunk when he made up the heat scale mechanic. On your knees.

This thread saved my life

After reading it I got that dropped spot 2 maps later! I couldn't move and realised what was going on and backed up and was free.
