I got an email in my message box that was titled "WINNERS SELECTED!" and my heart skipped a beat in excitement, then I saw it was from mass illuminosity and was in regards to some stupid facebook contest they wanted me to enter.

[AdamBaines]

So a general question. With the word count we were limited two, what kind of info did everyone put in their submission? Im just now trying to remember what I wrote. I think I was so excited about the whole prospect and just belched out 150 words exactly. I know not good..... Just wonder what approach the rest of you took? I just gave a brief history of my life with Battletech/Mechwarrior, where I started and how I evolved though all of the different iterations of the franchise from the TT to MWO.

[DocBach]

I did it on my phone as soon as I got the email so it was pretty brief - "Gold Overlord, leaderboard ranked player and leader/founder of Murphy's Law, a MWO corp for veteran gamers."

I should have gone into detail of my fanboism and participation of the MWO community since the first couple weeks it was announced and that it influenced me to give my son the middle name "Phelan," when he was born a couple months after the announcement. I actually found out about this game on my smart phone at a OB doctor's visit when they determined his sex

But alas I left all of that stuff out because I hate typing on phones :/

Any idea when they're going to send out the invites?

[borisof007]

No clue.

Scary, since we're coming up on it fast. 27 days until the event itself, and it's been almost a full week since applications were closed and no new news. I get that Launch technically happens before then, so their primary concern is that, but the longer we wait for news, the more and more likely that local people only will get invitations.

It would be cool if everyone who cannot attend could at least have a secondary tourney or drop against the guys in san fran, etc etc.

[borisof007]

Yeah it's gonna be a closed tourney streamed online for everyone to watch.

Although I can't wait for private MM to happen, that way community run tournaments can happen. Community run things usually lead to very innovative game modes and ideas for developers to officially sponsor and add in. Look at Griffball for Halo (I'm also a HUGE RoosterTeeth fan).

I live in Ohio it is not possible for me to get there and it is something i'd like to go to but at the moment i'm kinda stuck in Ohio with other irl reasons. I hope you all have fun and celebrate for me and it would also be fun if somehow the celebration could be done ingame somehow which I can do a long range celebration with you guys.

[borisof007]

I hope, HOPE, that all the invitees get a special in game skin, or perhaps an in game medallion or something to show off.

That would be awesome.

I can hear the P2W crowd now, you spent money on gas, ergo you bought that medallion... PGI UNFAIR!!!

hi all,

maybe it's a noob question, but I haven't found a clear answer to it in the forums... when is the game -including community warfare- going to be released? What are the confirmed features of community warfare? Have they told something about that in the launch party?

I see all discussion seems to go around this or that Mech, bug or balance issue... I agree all these questions are really important... but I would like to know when this game is going to become something more than a sequence of isolated 12vs12 drops...

Thanks for the answers,

Plaguicida

[borisof007]

You know, I started typing a response based on what I remembered, and then I tried looking up information on where I first read it. I can't find it anywhere.



That's what I found on youtube, but I remember physically reading something here on the forums describing the different phases of CW.

OK so this is kinda funny, I made a thread back in APRIL detailing this stuff: http://mwomercs.com/...ucated-guesses/

[AceTimberwolf]

I'd be happy just to hang out with everyone. Already did one MWO Tourney = P

[DocBach]

I want to hear what they're announcing, I'm thinking they'll give a look at CW or maybe Clan tech.

I wonder if the Tourny will be clan mechs instead of IS ones.

Anyone get any info about tickets???

[DocBach]

Nope, not yet. Cutting it kind of close for people needing to make travel arrangements from beyond the Bay Area.
