I am placing this game in the side box until the 1pv only (Hardcore) is Add back in to the game. So you will not see me in game until that day. There a good reason I don't use X-Box or Playstation or Wii (Aka Consoles'er)for my gaming systems, The 3d Person view fine for Consoles'er just NOT for me.
Be safe the True Mechwarrior out there, I am a Long time fan of Battletech with over $4,500 in just the board game; Not Counting Video game stuff and Money spent on MWO.

I think you are confusing listening with blindly following the desires of the community. PGI should listen, and I think generally they do. They then choose the course of action they think best. Just because it is not what you or I or even a majority of the community thinks is the best course of action does not mean they don't listen. Reasonable people can disagree.

Yes, here is the problem with that logic. When the majority of your customer base disagree with you, the company, they tend to not buy what you're selling. When you continue down that path, over and over again with things like ECM/ELO/feature priorities/etc they stop buying. They can honestly disagree with the majority of the community all they like, at the end they'll have what they view as the best game ever... with no revenue to support it.

I know I sure am seeing at least double the Lander and 3D pop tarts since patch, not entirely sure why though

There's a serious quality difference between the game that hasn't even hit alpha yet and the game that is three weeks from release. Surprising, given that they're using the same engine.

The real surprise is that spaceship game hired the guys from the mech mod, and the mech mod guy only became available because the mech mod ended up shutting down in light of this mech game we're discussing here today.

Just because they do not do what you demand does not mean they are not listening.

That is correct but do you have any proof that they are listening? We can only judge them by actions and this far they show nothing but contempt, ineptitude or insanity.

Patch days often attract old, bitter veterans. They return for a day, reinstall, patch up, and bring out the big guns. It's possibly why that other guy has been seeing landslides, because of competent four-man groups giving it a spin. They'll quickly grow disappointed and wander off again, perhaps never to return.

My biggest concern is that the game is now less than a month from official release and we have no solid info. on CW, the same two game modes since early beta and no major content in this weeks patch. Either they are gonna push some BIG patches in the next couple weeks or the game will pretty much remain as is content wise at launch... and that will be fairly disappointing. 3pv has not been implemented the way they said it would either. They specifically said "You will never have to play against people using 3pv if you don't want to." That turns out to be untrue as Hardcore mode appears to be turned off/greyed out ATM.

Given that it's in the current drop type selection, just grayed-out, I suspect that PGI ran into some problems with setting up the different queues but plans to push it through as soon as possible. Otherwise, why not just wait until UI 2.0 to put the option in the menu at all?

Of course, some kind of communication about such things would be a welcome addition to the patch notes.

The problem is spelled a dwindling amount of players.

Why sugar coat it? Never is as absolute a statement as it is possible to make.

The thing is... many ppl dont play the game atm, due to all the problems PGI have yet to deal with :b

Yep, they don't pay also, and they won't pay PGI ever again. Good job PGI.

[80Bit]

Wow...they are doing stuff. Doing stuff is good.

[MisterFiveSeven]

So much noise...

Edit :: Also, 3PV is perfect for looking over buildings in my atlas to check the dropship ridge for poptarts.

Seriously, if you say it doesn't have advantages you must be blind.

Cheer up everybody, I'm sure they put MC on sale for launch weekend, I've been saving up.

FF14 is releasing this weekend, all the people I know are going there and they don't give a **** about what will happen here.

Way to ruin some good patchnotes, 3pv bitching aside why the hell are the door indicators suddenly broken?

[Airborne Thunder]

To all those players saying "chill out this is just Beta, they are going to adjust based on our feedback". BULLpucky! They don't care what we have to say. They are going to do what they want as long as they feel it will make them the most money. Have they listened to us when it comes to the C-bill nerf? Ghost heat? This whole 3rd person view thing? Nope. They do what they want and ignore us. We are not Beta testers we are suckers that complain (as if it will do any good) while we just keep playing and handing them over more of our cash.

[dqIII]

I just wanted to say that you guys (PGI) are scum for implementing this and mixing it in with game modes, both of which were stated that you would not do. I will play the **** out of your game but you willl never see another dime from me you lying...well use your imagination.

Has anybody else noticed all their matches have become completely one sided since the patch? or is it just me?

Win or lose, it's been by a landslide all afternoon.

You may be experiencing a sickness we like to call "high Elo". Symptoms include PPC/Gauss, teams full of terrible players to balance the higher Elo players, and much apathy. The cure involves uninstalling and whining non-stop on the forums.

Its quite sad how true this seems right now.

Guys this is part of the beta process, they'd never have known how third person would have worked if they hadn't patched it in during beta.

I'm sure they can adjust it.

Yes, because they are so well known for listening to our feedback in the past.

3rd person mode sucks its like playing with your arms tied behind your back. Really there is no advanage to playing in it. Seismic dose a better job of tracking enemy mechs then the limited peaking you can do with 3rd person. Really you people are over reacting.

So (competent) people will only use it to peek behind cover and then go back to first person.

But that is not the point. The point is that PGI said never and nothing else.
