Imperius please read the main page of MWO describing it..I'll just repost what I posted prior

Really PGI, your main game page about your own game "Mechwarrior Online puts mechwarriors into a FIRST PERSON, team based tactical battlefield..." Not to mention on this same page "A tactical BattleMech simulation set in 3050 AD. As a pilot known as a "MechWarrior"". Keyword "Pilot" not "3rd Person drone" AS of 8/24/2013.

Again many of us don't mind if you want to put in 3rd person AS long as its a seperated que / matchmaking system. Both modes can reward Community warfare if you want, we just want what is put YOUR (as of 8/24/2013) the main page and what was promised game feature with the game we donated too. All of the MWO community would be in a happy state for this, the hardcore / veteran playerbase and the casual crowed that plays 3rd person all the time. You can even improve 3rd person to where its actually useable, BUT keep the 1st person and 3rd person separated Ques / matchmaking, then make the experience amazing for the 3rd person crowd. It is a win for everyone, because as it stands now you have already lost or are losing the simulation/hardcore/people who read the gameplay of YOUR main page (see above as of 8/24/2013).

Please read further into the history of the IP developement and original goal and what it reads on the main page. If anything most of the table top suggestions, with the exception of random dice roles is done to make make this game immersive. I agree that the repair and Ream needed to be redone by PGI though...

Keywords on the main MWO page by PGI

"FIRST PERSON, team based, As a pilot known as a "MechWarrior", tactical BattleMech simulation"

All this madness would be solved by sepereated ques / matchmaking for 1PV and 3PV..but for whatever reason PGI is failing to see that. If they ONLY want the arcade crowd that is fine, BUT change the main page game info AND allow all refunds prior to Aug 20 2013 of Project Pheonix.

Logged me in, only to like that.

ConstantA has said it all. And he is right, at least in my opinion.

Dear Imperius.

You don't get what 'setting' is, right? This is not about TT. It's about inner setting complexity, rules, that define what is acceptable and what is not. We want Mechwarrior simulation based in Mechwarrior universe. Not Gundam, Evangelion, Macross, Teggen Toppa Gurenn Lagann. We want Inner Sphere, Clans, Comstar, Great Houses, lostech. We want timeline. We want minor details that together create that great setting we all love.
We want it, because it's valuable to us, we treat it like a piece of art. Yes, we are {Noble MechWarriors} (filtered f.a.n.b.o.y.s). We have passion.

And you have none.

I didn't say a thing about being a fast paced shooter. Things dragging this game down is 4 hundred threads about 3rd person so what it hasn't caused any advantage to anyone I know yet. Yet TT are burning the forums about it. I want parts to blow off when I hit them period. No crappy magnetism or wonky hitbox to fix a certain mech. If the mech has a bad builds ole some huge arm plates and gets blown up. Don't mess with the hitbox to counter a bad mech. Leave it just at that a bad mech. They exists in Battletech. The sad thing coming that isn't here yet is clan mechs like the timberwolf I love so much. Bet I don't get him due to TT cries.

I think you are confusing TT purists with simulator purists. TT purists find things like movement (JJ/walking/unable to collapse terain), ecm, heat, heat, and F'ng phantom heat annoying. Simulator purists find 3PV repuslive, mainly because we were sold on a game that would never have it in it, and it does convey an unfair advantage.

Now, many of these groups overlap, but please don't lump the people who love and play TT in the same group as the 3PV whiners. Honestly, I will never use it, and find it insulting that PGI prioritized adding it to a game with serious flaws. Next month is the supposed launch date, and we still can't do the basics - move / shoot. The reason the TT crowd should be upset is that PGI constantly dorks with the numbers, and has yet to address the mind-numbingly obvious flaws (stuck on terrain, **** poor heat system,hit detection, etc.). I'd be happy leaving the weapon tables alone, and fixing things that prevent players from getting "imersed" into the game.

Lol you don't get the Timber Wolf because the devs can't get things right without Clan tech thrown in right now, not because 'TT' guys are complaining against it. If PGI had gone ahead with their timeline we would be in the Clan invasion right now. And its pretty stupid to leave a mech design as 'bad' so that it goes unused, because what the hell is the point of it being in the game then.
