^This is a nice post, I like this post.

[Memowolf]

I can only say that I support the Phoenix project and MWO all the way. I play this game at least 1 hour per day so any money thrown PGI´s way is not a waste but an investment in something that provides fun and relaxation (actually stresses me half the time I play it hehe). There are several things that need fixing but we have gotten so much in a few months. We now have new maps, 12 players per team, balanced weapons (I know, my Gauss cannon now sucks) but we see a variety of weapons used vs the Gauss-PPC combo everyone and their mother was using. Personally I like it this way because I am here to enjoy my game, not to make the most kills and have an awesome kill ratio. I use SRMs and AC20 and any other weapon that I like not just the one with the best damage or kill ratio. There are lots of things I would change in the game such as the ability to reconnect if you disconnect or the ability to select your enemy team because right now our only option is to sync drop and hope for the best. And sorry but my ENTER key is not working and my paragraphs are awfully spaced.

Who's making the claim in dispute? Isn't the claim being made that the amount of sales is hitting some goal? I am saying PGI should prove it's claim that it is hitting some goal by posting the goal. So the burden should be on PGI to show they have an actual goal and that the bar is not simply moving to show the sale is going well.
Even though PGI has gone back on their word, I mean changed their position, you trust them to give honest sales figures that only benefit them if they move up? Shouldn't the burden be on the party with the incentive to lie? Shouldn't the burden be on the party with the actual numbers?

Do you doubt that we will hit that last goal? Do you know what that goal is? PGI knows what the "goal" is but doesn't publish it. Can that bar move simply because PGI wants this sale to look successful?
One thing I feel 100% confident in is no matter how much PGI takes in from the sale that final unlock will be unlocked.

Your argument is bad, and you should feel bad.

Quite the defence you have here. You can start with "PGI Is lying to us about numbers" knowing full well they would never publicly post those numbers. If in fact they did post the numbers you could just as easily turn around and yell "HA! You're lying again! Show me the proof that you're not just making those numbers up!"

If you'd like to know why you aren't getting the communication you want it's because the positions you take would require PGI to bring you in as an auditor and show you the sales receipts before you'd even begin to believe...even then you'd probalby claim they falsified receipts simply to maintain your own point of view.

You will not get the proof you ask for. Nor will anyone else here ever be able to sway your point of view because no one can provide the proof you ask for in any kind of method that isn't arguably lying to you.

Coming to the forums and arguing that everyone should hate PGI like you hate PGI because they can't/won't prove they're not lying is about as useless an argument as you can get on an internet forum.

Believe or don't believe, hate or don't hate, but the fact is your argument is just as poor, just as invalid, just as full of holes as you claim PGI's promises and goals are.

Let's make this simple. Prove that PGI hasn't already sent you the numbers you've requested. Prove that you're not lying to all of us, holding the information back, just to make your point. Prove you don't already know all the facts.

It's the same argument you're making for PGI Lying to us.

Liees that should mean the unlock bar autoupdates alone when reaching a predetermined goal ( and everyone knows it's being manipulated by PGI to hide all the refund rage!!)

Gogo conspiracy theorist who in the PGI staff had to break it's weekend to screw all our precious theories!!!

[Warbardras]

My apologies if I sound stupid, but I purchased the overlord tier and I have been watching the status of the unlocks. My question is when do we get the phoenix colors and the tier badge?

It seems that flame camo isn't listed anymore......

It's still there but the image is broken.

Bought Overlord and am feeling pretty damn good about the game at the moment.

Either the art department jumped the gun, or we were always going to get all 3 eventually anyway. The images for 0% to 100% on the flame pattern reward are already uploaded on their server. I get the feeling that whoever was supposed to update the page to go from 0% to 10% messed it up somehow and now it isn't showing. The 0% Phase 3 image seems to follow the same naming scheme as the others in the page source, it's just not on the server.

[Toothless]

^ People genuinely think they actually set a number needed and if it wasnt reached they wouldnt release the camo...?

It's just a stupid marketing ploy to add 'incentive' to buy and collectively advertise it.

You don't really think that they would wait until after the quota was met to make the art do you?

It was explained awhile back that the images were preloaded onto the server and that there was a script running to check the numbers of the Project Phoenix sales. When the numbers reached a certain point the bar was supposed to automatically update and show when things unlocked. I am assuming that the current glitch in the image being displayed is that when someone was typing the code in they misspelled the image name for this point and no one bothered to proof read the code before putting it up on the website.

[Tragos]

Of cause. You want to see how this looks like if it is done honestly? Have a look at star citizen.
Exact amount of money spent per hour.

Here? well...http://s7.directupload.net/images/130908/rwe8bnur.jpg

Yeah. Single picture that's loaded when it is sufficient. No progress bar, sorry.

looks like it...

Not on my screen. The image is broken, but there's still a place for it, and the mouseover still works.

The broken image is pointing to loyalty_3_00.jpg which might not exist.

The previous progress bar section is pointing to loyalty_2_100.jpg.

Druidika, on 07 September 2013 - 01:26 PM, said:

There's a typo in the link to the image. https://static.mwome...lty_3_00_on.jpg doesn't exist, but https://static.mwome...alty_3_0_on.jpg does.

The associated image is spelled differently than the file the html code is pointing to. Apparently there's either an extra or a missing "0".

Does anyone know if we can choose the 2 additional base variants by ourself?

There's only three variants total. You get the base model as a special phoenix mech (which has the boosts and the fancy paint job, but is otherwise the same as the base variant) and then you get the other two as standard mechs, so you're getting three mechs total, one of each variant. No choosing required.

No idea why the site is taking so long to load. I've noticed for the past month or so it's been slower than usual.
