WoW was postponed for 8? years? Long time for what ever reason.
IF MWO:Mercs is delayed because of financial obligations, it seems to me they shouldn't have diverted funds to keep MWTactics alive.

Nice boat, PGI. Nice boat.

I was waiting about (a month?) from the day they announced the launch because maybe the installer is different from the beta one as many thing will be added and I was so eager to be surprised with many new cool feature so I remove my game and decided to wait, but, hey it's just a patch. A launch patch day.

Now I need to re-download the whole same game.

this should be open beta launch... and closed beta should have been in march. well i guess the runn out money way to early
but still
this is boring. i like to play and stuff and spend MC but on what ? i tryed all the mechs so far. i played all kind of loadout with different speed.
And there is no new stuff coming with new mechs. Its all the same loadout it may be a bit squashyer or more durable. i already played it. i want to use my skill for something grinding out the same is borring
well i guess i just give up till the real launch in February i even upgraded my pc just for this game :\
patience.

this is the start of open beta open beta open beta
i dont want to be a beta tester any more
in a launch day i like to have a big present with a new map a new mech a new game mode oh and a nice camo

Where can i find the credits (including Legendary Founders)?

[Bishop Steiner]

OH, and uh, thanks for ignoring the CT on the Orion.

At least the Awesome has company in Iconic Mechs relegated to hiding behind hills and lobbing LRMs.

[LordVanquish]

PLEASE... don't do the same thing that Riot Games does with LoL in buffing and nerfing.
Namely: they took something that was occasionally used, had its own niche, but then buffed it for the hell of it anyways. Then people over used it and then they end up NERFING IT TO A WORSE STATE THAN IT WAS BEFORE THE BUFFS.

Seriously. Unless you did research and planned things out ahead of time, don't touch it. No one was complaining about the uselessness of UAC5s. You coincided their buff and the nerf of PPCs/Gauss, what did you think was going to happen? Now that niche UAC5 ends up being much worse than it was before the changes... THANKS PGI!

[Runenstahl]

Wow, how DARE they to do this us ?

First they make an awesome looking FREE TO PLAY Battletech game that we all play and like. And now (after some time of Beta-Testing) they declare it's done. And they don't even fulfill all the wishes the community had ?

Oh and how they lied !
Because 3rd PV is really breaking the game. Which was already broken by the horrible PAY TO WIN features introduced with the consumables. Easily seen cause EVERYONE uses consumables and 3rd PV ! (just not in the battles I'm playing in it seems).

And let's face it. Weapon balancing is broken like HELL.Which is why every single player uses the same combination of weapons. And actually ANY weapon that just killed you is just another sign of BAD BALANCING. Seriously. No irony there. At all.

And why can't they see that it would be THAT simple to please everyone. Because we NEVER wish for contradicting stuff.

Oh well... I hope PGI and the playerbase gets what they deserve. Wich is:
Everyone who can't stop complaining just quits and let's the rest of us enjoy the game for what it is. A really good and cool Mechgame which I played for countless hours and WILL be playing for countless more.

Oddly enough I'm pretty sure you most of you will keep playing (and more sadly complaining). But thats a hateful community for you. Is it perfect ? No. And I'm sure PGI doesn't mind constructive criticism. But for quite a while now large parts of the forums have dissolved into pits full of hate.

Is that what PGI get's for making an awesome game ? I admire them for still working on that if the community is that ungrateful. And I will keep enjoying this great game that they let us play for FREE.

If I shot a shut down mech from a nonmoving mech from 50 meters in the leg,, the freaking arm should not be the limb that flies off in a "working platform".. Yes I have been playing them for way longer than I shall say,, have you? Because NO other game I have played does that.

[Tsunamisan]

If the Gauss nolonger charges when out of ammo doe this mean it will also nolonger explode since its not charged?

Over $500 so far; 1+ year, couple "in-game" features (couple Hero 'Mechs).
Typical MMO subscription: $15/mo * 12mo = $180/yr.

So, what do I get for my share of having paid for a few of you guys to have played for a year, free? Not including monies paid in to MW Tactics....

Spectating someone is not accurate on what he actually sees. It's like that in virtually every game I've played over the years. I've watched a kill cam in various games of someone shooting me in the back as I am standing there smoking a cigar but on my screen, I ducked around a corner. Explain.

Really? See above. Yes I exaggerated but it's what happens in CS to CoD to BF.

[Mindwiper]

One surprise, at least one nice surprise for release day....but there was nothing! NOTHING! Pffff!

Is a new map, or a free Mech in the hangar for new new players, or just SOMETHING really too much to expect?

Lamest Release ever!

Personally, I've had a small glitter of hope what you'll surprise us with something. Frankly, this is the bottom of all bottoms.

Dear PGI, check this out, this would be my launch day:

1. 1 day of premium time for all, we're celebrating "Launch Day" of our favorite game after all;

2. During the duration of "Launch Day" (that only 24 hours) next things would be available:
2.1. MC sale
2.2. ALL hero Mechs 30% off MC price
2.3. ALL champion Mechs 30% off MC price
2.4. ALL CB Mechs 30% off MC price
2.5. ALL camos 50% off MC price
2.6. ALL colors 50% off MC price
2.7. ALL premium time options lowered by x% (you pick the number);

3. Log in during 24 hours of "Launch Day" and play only ONE match and you'll get a shiny medallion for cockpit that will remind you on the "Launch Day" of your favorite game;
4. etc,etc,etc...

Now, wouldn't that be one hell of a "Launch Day" of our favorite game ?

And guess what - you would be earning. For that day alone, I'm 100% positive that people would disregard poor patch in overall (yet alone patch in "Launch Day"!), lack of promised major things, poor communication with community, and all those other bad things that I forgot about, if you just did SOMETHING to show respect to those who still push this game forward.

You may be said that "Launch Day" is just another normal day and that may be true content-wise (because you haven't delivered any), but it shouldn't be like that at least celebration-wise. I'm sure people who can't attend to your launch party would still remember that there was a launch of their favorite game and that they've also been a part of that launch in another way.

But I guess easiest thing is just not do anything...

Our Thanks? I am $344 in so far.

this reminds me of the War Z release on Steam...false advertising...raging forum posts

reading these forums is more fun than playing the same maps and game modes over and over

EXCEPT he was in my lance, he was in my drop group, he was in TS with me and the 3 other guys watching him, and he screamed "YES the ***** shut down and I got his leg!" along with us. Normally I would agree and say you don't always see the same thing which I shrug off when I normally see it, but not this time as I post while game was still in progress. Nvm, Good times. Good job. Carry on.
