I did same thing, months ago (was tired of balance, netcode issues and PGI false promises)

BTW, this should be a simulation game...3PV is for arcade and casual games. As many people say, I don't want TPV at all, and I voted that...but separate queues would be better than nothing...

I have not uninstalled yet, but I did stop paying and playing two patches ago, I still got one drop to do and if that does not help I will be heading over to MWLL too, I think they might get quite populated after MWO goes Mech Assault for the PS4 or Xbox crowds.

Obviously there's not much to do in the hangar yet... but the CryEngine 3 SDK lets you have some more fun.

I'm making myself a desktop background:

Yep, many disgruntled players from MWO are coming to MWLL right in these days. MWO is going to become a casual arcade shooter. It's no more a simulation game.

One reason i'm glad i joined the MWO beta is that i found out about MWLL
There's only one thing that is missing from MWLL. Unlike MWO, MWLL actually does need a tutorial

OK. Mind blown.... Ready? You say you shouldnt have 3pv because you can camera swing around corners or tilt to see over hills. Limit the "pitch" and "yaw" of 3PV to be inline with 1PV more like over the shoulder (mounted almost like an AMS) and as such would be IMPOSSIBLE as it is a mounted camera to see above hills and around corners. Does that make sense? it would have the "feel" of 3PV but the limitations of a mounted external camera on the outside of the mech. No "pitch" and "yaw" that would allow "peeking" over hills and around corners.

Well I guess this was worth a shot, but after reading the latest ATD's I hav given up hope.
Ill pop back in every month or so to see if thy make any drastic changes

See some of you on S.C . ,

[Bromineberry]

I want a "Put me in the !3PV! ok or in the "3PV forbidden" queue, I don't care as long as I find games quickly" queue. Why? Because I don't care! I don't want to choose between two queues that either only makes it take longer to find a game because of a feature I don't mind. Nobody is using 3PV anyways and imho most people are making a bigger deal out of it than it is in reality.
It is such a rare sight, that someone uses it...and even after several weeks of PGI putting it into the game, people in trial mechs ask, how to switch it of.
Yes, it CAN be beneficial from time to time (spotting the enemy team, teeling your mates if they go upper or lower city), but because you can't really mark targets and only visually see them, It's not that big of a deal. And if that tiny Spider lingers behind the building 1500m away, or is s small dot on it 1500m away, is not such a big difference.
I accept, taht people are pissed because of PGI lying about it, but the game has several problems that are bigger and more important to the game. The only thing that is sad is the amount of work that has been put into making 3PC coul've been put into CW or other features. This is the only thing, that really bugs me about it.

I know this post is going to be on the 11th or 12th page, and nobody will ever read it... but I had to comment on this for my peace of mind.

3rd person point of view was a horrible idea for this game. If not for the balance issues, which apparently is some how debatable... but for the aftermath it causes. Now that we have it, and now that we're stuck with it... how do you deal with it? It just created a mess, not worth it.

[Dr Herbert West]

Voted "don't want it in the game," but I could live with separate, public, 1PV and 3PV queues. 1PV restricted to 12-mans is BS.

I quit playing this game when forced 3PV was introduced, and I'm done playing until I can joint a 1PV only publich queue.

Of course idiocy like the PPC triple-nerfs and GR "Ghost Recycle" might burn me out even with 1PV queues added.

Please do keep in mind that they added 3PV to extend the player-base and possibly there in-game experience.

So instead of making a elephant out of a mouse, honestly who cares.

umm 3499 people in a poll before PGI deleted it like they did my signature

I think you should remove 'do not want it at all' since its already widely known on the forums that the vocal minority aka forum majority don't want it but its here, and here to stay. At least this would push more votes into the split ques, which is all we really want.

TBH it doesn't matter, this poll will be deleted by tomorrow.

Remember guys, it's because they cared so much that they are doing this.

Saying that players coming to Mechwarrior expecting and hoping for a mech sim are the minority couldnt be more far from the truth.

That goes for the bt fans of the last few decades, the 5 mechwarrior video games and new players hoping for something not a crappy fps shooter clone.

And in this poll we have about 900 people replying.

Soooo ... 7000+ to 3000+ to <1000 after 3PV is introduced. Are you getting the message here PGI? You're killing your game.

[Jestun]

No, they are not getting the message. We are all on a giant island.

If so, the population of our island is growing as people flee/abandon the PGIsland.

I only visit the PGIsland to see if anything changed or to read the flame thread for entertainment

I really don't want 3PV at all, and I really don't want a split queue, because that means less of a pool of players. And what about Community Warfare? If it ever happens, with a split queue, what happens when an asset is being defended by 3PV players - they could only be attacked by 3PV players, and visa-versa with 1PV. So then there'd have to be two Clan Wars. The 3PV one, and the 1PV one.
