First, Mechwarrior/Battletech is my 'favorite' genre.

So this isn't a goodbye thread, this is a 'see you later' as I'm taking an extended vacation from the game until 1PV is back in the form they originally promised, i.e. queues without 3PV.

The olive branch offering for the 12v12 queue simply isn't enough. Too many of my friends have quit the game due to bad decision making, buggy releases and too many broken promises for me to ever find enough people to regularly play 12v12.

There's nothing in the meta game to keep me long term, just endless matches of the same thing over and over. There's no way after over a year of playing to actually queue up against players we choose or the ability to set limits on the match, i.e. tonnage. Therefore, no league competition that's worth sticking around for that would introduce some depth. I have NO hope that PGI will implement anything complex and meaningful other than faction tags moving borders based on how many players represent a specific faction. I'm sorry, but that's not enough... where are the planets to lose, factories to gain, recharge stations and major industry to raid.

As is, the heat system is so broken I can't get excited in the least for the Clan invasion and the newer technologies. Without proper matchmaking, there won't even be a point to run Clan tech, i.e a Star or 5 mechs for the unitiated versus 2 Inner Sphere Lances (8 mechs).

Ultimately, I refuse to play 3PV... had to draw the line somewhere, so this is the end for now. I haven't logged on in months and the recent heat mechanics (which have always been a stupid implementation) and PGI's going back on all their promises regarding 1PV only and then even the 3PV promises they made when they finally decided to implement it is just too much.

Please at least take the $200 I've invested and do something with it so I will actually want to play the game. That or sell the title off to another developer before you ruin the MW name further.

Sincerely,

P.S. I may or may not drop in from time to time to try to post feedback, but at this point I don't think they are even listening. I've seen them respond maybe once in over a year of playing to the community. The overwhelming feedback on 3PV netted us what, 12v12 being limited to 1PV?? So only the largest units have a chance of playing the game in any kind of real fashion? Even then, there will be a lot of singles and lances stuck waiting to get in the 12v12. Either way, I wish all of you still keeping the faith the best. Hopefully I'll reap your hard work down the road in the form of a game I can enjoy again. Peace.
