So during the whole party there's a 30 minute time frame for presentations and awards? Is this the time allotted for the presentation of the supposed details regarding CW and the future of MWO?

How much time does it take for them to promise a Command Chair post "detailing" all the good stuff? ;)

It takes them very little time to promise a Command Chair post...

Actually making the Command Chair post is apparently a massive effort that takes many weeks, if not months, if not years...

I really hope that's not what they have planned...

Hi PGI,

I am a tad concerned after viewing the schedule for the launch party:

2:00pm Invitational Tournament Round 1
5:00pm Invitational Tournament Round 2
7:00pm Presentations + Door Prizes
7:30pm The Special Match (name to be finalized)
8:00pm Semi Finals
9:00pm Grand Final
9:30pm Awards

Is this the complete list of events? A lot of us are pinning our hopes on hearing and hopefully seeing more details on the upcoming core features like UI 2, Community Warfare and Clan Invasions. At the very least we expect to hear more on the UI and CW aspects.

However in this schedule only 30 minutes to provided for presentations and awards (I'm guessing presentations is of a different sort?).

It seems the party is mainly just tournaments which is fine but what about the big bang, we've launched and this is what we're working on and here are some screenshots, etc?

From the forum fury over the last week, you can understand many are pinning their hopes on gleaning more information from this party and if there is none forthcoming ... I dare say it's not going to be pretty.

Cheers,
Zanathan

So, am I the only one who is unable to see ANYTHING happening on the twitch.tv/igp page?

The only thing I get is a nice background image with the text "OFFLINE" in the upper left hand corner.

What am I missing here?

http://www.twitch.tv/igp

I'm registered.

I have oodles of bandwidth, and can watch other videos on twitch.tv.

Something wrong at the Launch Event?

Yes. They entered a wormhole and through some hole in the space time continuum got catapulted into tomorrow.

just shoot me now, please?

This is what I get for trying to balance my STK-5S all night and *not* paying attention to the time AND date.

I am bothered by the 30 minutes of presentations and prize too. It means they will dish out all they hve to tell us about Community Warfare in 15 minutes. I guess there isn't that much to say. MEH.

Perhaps the CW bits will be clear enough that it will only take-up 15 minutes?

Why is there so much pessimism these days in MWO?

Adapt or Perish, folks.

If it's any consolation, the devs have been providing pictures of them setting up the event through their twitter accounts
