[Panboy]

Id be all for this if atlas get to duel wield riot shields. and the ability to shield bash.

[LegoPirate]

while obviously a joke based upon cod mechanics, theres def some stuff here that would make this game much more interesting then it is now.

So some people in my corp were complaining about / discussing patch notes and future plans for MWO, so I thought I'd write some mock-up patch notes myself of things I would like to see changed with the game. They were very well received on my corp's boards, so I thought I would share them here.



What do you think guys?

I think you should have done something more productive.

[HappySpawn]

Are you kidding? This is all totally legit. 105% super-serious.

[Y2kHippy]

I am still waiting for a "hug" key... and you want all that!

[Mr Friday]

I've GOT IT! We're currently missing soical aspects in game right? The easiest way to solve this is EMOTES!

Want to tell your ally he's an *****? Press a button and watch your mech tell him for you!

Waving, saluting, swearing and indeed hugging!

Why has this not been thought of sooner!?

[Lyoto Machida]

Not sure if you covered this in the original idea but you should be allowed to climb inside and pilot vehicles (Dropships, perhaps?) with your mechs...maybe even have another mech along as a gunner.

Perhaps munitions you could use that you threw around corners to "stun" enemy mechs.

No... So much no. First off this would add at least another year to development (if not more) and in a IP that is based on open customization and freedom of choice i do not think it is a good thing to add artificial limitations just for the heck of it. Also how would you suggest to work around the churn of player that would just pack up and leave as their progression was reset to zero, not to mention how you would solve the founders pack. A game wide refund..? and if so how do your plan intend to cope with the double loss of revenue.

So my verdict, a cute little play with ideas, but beyond that.. Nothing.

Well for the progression part, you could call it something like..."Prestige" mode. You'd get a little icon or something for resetting and then get to earn your stuff back over and over for more icons.

This seems like one of those "Woosh!" things for a lot of people...

Most of these guys might be too old to understand what he was referencing? Hahaha.

[Saint Scarlett Johan]

I want the option for my Cent to give a big'ole bearhug to the light mechs while unloading SRMs into them!

I also want the option to have my 732 flip the bird as I go up and blast people apart with triple PPC and Gauss in the brash "*** you" kinda way!

I support this wholeheartedly!

[Memo The Rat]

I fully support this. Except for the free starter mechs, that's stupid.

But stll, God knows i want one of my 100 ton slow lumbering mechs to do a combat roll.... Ya know what, screw that. I want to see it pirouette outta the way!! oh, and various emotes with 'hand signs' You know you want the ability to do the shocker.

All ammunition-using weapons will gain two extra types of ammo: One that does double damage to armor, and one that does up to quadruple damage to internals but nothing to armor. To prevent "pay to win" this ammo can be bought for C-Bills and MC.

[venomman2]

I honestly stopped reading at the word "prestige"

Ah... satire. You almost got me, OP, until I read the "Perks." Well played, sir. Well played.

[nrg9x]

k , well some good ideas , Smoke grenades , adding techniques to combat is always nice , not sure about the spears tho. robots and cams floatin around could get a bit "meh".

Thing is, this argument could very much be done by someone not invested in to the lore, most of the things are not unreasonable to someone like that. My question still stands though, if you put that much effort in to it why not go all the way and make it waterproof.

Actually it could very well be done by someone invested in the lore but not the TT... After all in the books you had all manners of weird going on... And Stackpole:ing.

Just saying.

[CDLord HHGD]

Troll alert!

[Drakari]

Man this thread completely missed the point. You only need one thing to fix MWO.

Implement /dance.

[Karl Streiger]

Revamp - i really hoped for some interesting stuff.... maybe it is more fun for the masses - but not for the core of die hard Mechwarrior fans - however maybe i should give you a revamp topic

[Tyzh]

Ah hahaha. I really wouldn't be surprised to see these as legitimate patch notes at this point.

Cheers, Westy.
