The main line that seems to be the point of contention is

"Creates threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest"

this would only apply if you started a thread such as

"this game sucks, you killed the guass this patch"

instead of

"Possible way to balance the Guass without the chargup"

It has more to do with the tone and language used, not with whether or not you actually agree or disagree. But in this time will tell more than anything as cases happen.

When the developers ignore all polite and respectful criticism and suggestions, they really give off this "We Know Best, Know Your Place" vibe.

Why the hell has the game launched?
I like the game but it isn't finished, not even close.
I was hoping, like everyone else, that a surprise was inbound. but nothing other than a new camo.Biggest letdown ever. Get your good stuff out the door, noooow!

umm, why is today even called launch day?

Launch Day should be something Big and Grandoise, not something... well like today, ho hum.

WTF? If this were sex, then this is like the worse orgasm ever, if you could even call it that.

I mean UI2.0, the supposed lobby (I like what I heard about the dropship lobby and being able to bring several mechs with you), and hell even the release of the Phoenix Packs, now all three together now that would be a Great Launch day, but this, this is the biggest let down since.... hang on thinking... still thinking... almost... "S H I T E" this IS the BIGGEST let down, ever!

I hate to think about how many hundreds of dollars I have poured into this game, supporting you guys in the hopes that you will be able to bring my most favorite game EVER to life. I am one of your staunchest supporters, but it is hard to stay that way, when I am constantly hearing comments about how you guys are not delivering on your PROMISES or CONTENT in a timely manner.

Argh!

I really do hope you guys pull this off, I mean I love MWO but doing 8v8 and 12v12 is not my idea of a Great game!

Where are the missions?

How do we set ourselves up to aline with the Great Houses, or a Mercenary Unit or to join a Clan?

Right now we only pretend to belong to House Davion or be a member of an elite Merc unit or dream that we are an actual members of Clan Smoke Jaguar.

Where are the maps for the contested planets that we will be fighting over. 12v12, 12v10, or 12v8 IS vs Clans on 7 or 8 different maps will not cut it!

Where is our story line, cripes I can go buy any $40 to $60 dollar pc game and have multiple missions and a halfway decent storyline. All we have here at MWO is 12v12 on a multitude of maps.

If you have something in the works then at least share that with us, we all understand there are delays and we are all getting used to PGI / IGP extended delays but at least give us some sort of road map of where you expect us to be in the next year, but give it to us in 30 day increments so we know what is going on.

For some reason PGI/IGP loves to keep it's customers in a TOTAL BLACKOUT!

I've heard that some people have been able to contact support@mwomercs.com and get their Phoenix/Saber packages refunded. Is this true? Can anybody confirm?

Oh wow, terrible player reviews, oh noes. Rather wait for the critic. Look at the 1 and 2 reviews? Biased don't you think?



Not sure if you're harassing or what you ment there. It's a link to a site where you enter your score - not a statement of opinion by me :P And I do encurage the mass to be honest by all means! After all, this IS a good game. If not you haven't been here. I for that matter, am disapointed by this patch. I did expect more.

Yes, what I meant is what I typed. Generally bad reviews that are biased. Didn't mean anything else by that.

Failed on the UAC nerf.

Kinda thought you would. Easiest fix would have been to use that Ghost Heat you are so fond of, to limit it to 2 before Ghost Heat. Would have kept the weapon effective as a asingle unit, and dnagerous with two, but ended the OMG insta cores of 3.

Instead you gimp any mech running a single one, and make doubles a riskier proposition. Yet do little to discourage using 3.

*golf clap*

PC gamer patterns only work with the mechs they had released up to that point with an exception I believe.

Well, as this patch is such an overwhelming success that it is called "Launch", I'm happy that you've been as proud about all of the equally successful patches for the past 16? months!


To call this 'Launch', is insulting. But what I should be asking, is if this is happening because we have failed YOU? Have we not provided sufficient input as to what we would like or with our input that you had asked for?

To call this 'Launch', means that it is business as usual. That the patches seen and introduced for the past 12 months (remember the "by November or December, we might introduce Logos, and soon, custom Logos! AND SOON! CW! But, you'll have to wait for December 2012 for those details......")

Have we (paying Founders and donating community) failed you by not providing enough financing to support (what is quite literally) our product? Wouldn't the funds I had paid in to the THREE founders' accounts I own show my gratitude for working on something I am in support of? Hasn't my MechWarrior Tactics 'Founders' donation helped as well?

Come on guys... I really have to ask if that's it.... seriously.

This topic is huge and helped pass the time while waiting for servers to come back... Personally I like the game, wasn't expecting much for launch other then some extra server down time. That being said, Good luck with the haters mob on your milestone PGI! I just really posted something here to be a part of something big, and this post is a huge flaming rage BBQ fest. Most entertaining. Humans are awesome creatures.

Huh? I don't understand. They stated that the UAC5 will probably be retooled a little bit BEFORE the sale of the Firebrand and Ilya. Oh I know, you and the rest who complain don't read the forums so you didn't know.

First off:

Congratulations on your launch! I know you guys work really hard and I do love this game.

I have to say though your decision to launch with no new features at all just confuses and saddens me.

I can not understand how anyone in a professional company whose actual paid job it is to make these kinds of decisions thought this would be a good idea.

You will be hammered on meta critic by users and probably by critics.

If you had launched this game in one or two months time with:

A cool intro
Music
UI 2.0
A new map
A huge sale

The launch would have been a TRIUMPH.

As it is, it is very disappointing.

I mean, not to be picky but you have "Operation 24" because you can field 24 mechs. THERE ARE ONLY 21 MECHS.

If it were anyone else I would think it was an innocent typo, but in your case I have the sneaking suspicion you genuinely do not know how many mechs you have in the game. This is a bit worrying.

I absolutely do not get it. I can only think that the publisher forced the date down your throat and you are as unhappy with the launch as the rest of us. If that is the case you have my sympathies.

In any case I will continue to support the game and wish you all the best.

/Peace

You folks know what is funny... everyone is griping about PGI's lack of communication... or "the LIES... THE LIES!"

Here they tell us "Launch will just be another Patch day.".... and they deliver on their word... So they tell us the truth and you still call them liars?!?!?!?!?!

Call me confused.


No one is saying they lied and anyone who is is obviously wrong. What folk appear to be saying is more along the lines of "you were serious? this is it...?"

Ha, they just disabled comments on the youtube launch trailer. I guess some people can't deal with criticism.
