So will Phoenix launch on time???
Anyone want to give odds on that?

Why would it be? That date is just their position at this time. Besides, lots of people don't mind missed deadlines if you read the defenders.

Yeah, PGI should have used this opportunity to play up the game and not down play the launch. They said months ago that launch would not be a big blitzy hoopla since its not really a launch of a finished game. Its just out of beta and into "minimum viable product". I get it. But still, this is a time when all eyes are on PGI and MWO.. at least do something to mark the occasion.

Anyway, Congrats!

They said the Phoenix mechs are complete and tested. Just waiting for the release date.

Like they said you would never drop with someone in 3PV if you didn't want to ?

That also is true. You don't ever have to play in the 3PV queue.

That's half true. You have to play 12-mans to get that.

At best, that's pretty much close to dishonest, considering that 90%+ of matches for 90%+ of active players are not 12-man.

free free free... !nothing! is free in this life..get it through your heads and stop this whole "they let us play this great game for free" defensive attitude...try playing this game for free with 3 mechbays see how long it will stay free for you...

im not posting this to bash PGI, im actually ok with what they charge...i agree with some i disagree with some others..

but jes some people in here..are you really so naive or are you really that stupid...

Don't bother, I only saw this because you quoted it. Ignore works wonders. But to answer it if they only allow you to use Phoenix mechs in 12 mans on that date it will be ok I guess.

Exactly... The typical mwomercs.com pioster at this point in time:

1. "I really want this game to succeed" (but you disappointed me and ***** my sister by not delivering something you never promised to deliver at the time in question, but rather that I wanted to see)
2. Posts horrendous , obviously partisan review on Metacritic blasting everything about the game regardless of true or not. You know, the kind of "review" that even little kids see and say "He`s BSing, no game could possibly be that bad"
3. admits to not having played ever since R+R was removed.
4. Still expects to be taken seriously.

I agree on basic principle... but have you ever tried to have a rational conversation while in a cage with 2 dozen monkeys screaming and flinging poo? How about 2 thousand or more? When does sifting through the {Scrap} to find the 2 sentences that were well thought out cease being worth the time spent sifting?

They do post updates... and they have gotten flamed all the way to hell and back for every single one ever since Open beta. Is that the devs being unwilling to communicate, or us unwilling to listen?

I never said i wouldn`t INFORM this community, just that I would be very careful (and that`s being dipomatic) when considering listening to anything it says, for obvious reasons.

Yeah, like that makes you totally look mentally stable.

But anyway - look at it that way: Yes, they foreshadowed that "Launch Day" will be sort of casual and mundane... on the other hand, from a marketing point of view, this is not exactly acceptable. It´s not like "Launch Days" are thrown in casually once in a while. Thats sort of a unique moment for a commercial product. Switching from Beta to "Live" should involve attraction for new players, some cake and cookies for the already playing or something whatsoever to highlight the product.

You can´t justify that by simply reminding us that they have informed us about the lack of "awesome"... that is not how things work. Knowing that we will be dissapointed cannot quite stop some of us from being disappointed.

I am not one of the haters, nor am I a {Noble MechWarrior} of the game... I like to play it from time to time with friends and I do enjoy playing most of the time. But nonetheless, there have been flaws marketing wise and regarding community work.

That has nothing to do with hate or maniac fan behaviour, that is something easily observeable..

PGI guess what .. YOU STILL FAILED TO FIX AC2's.

Ghost heat STILL fk's over rapidfire setups. Be it 2 AC2's or 6 AC2's.

Seriosly ..are you incabable of implimenting SIMPLE solutions to problems in this game ?

The readme notes claims that PGI has "finally" followed up on their "poll".

I'll have to test it, but it would be hilarious if I found a way to break it in under 10 seconds of the match start.

So wheres the single player campaign?

Or is there going to be one?

Spoiler alert: It wasn't always like this. Things used to be optimistic. People used to cheer all the time. PGI earned the community they now have, really.

I don't think it was ever promised or even planned. So... not in any immediate future.

Uh, no, like they said Conquest would have capturable bases with turrets.

Yes

[Heffay]

Ok, so I just watched the credits. Everyone who said they didn't want their names associated with this game were listed under "Anonymous".

Guess how many people chose this option?

They did that on purpose. There is nothing to "fix". Working as Intended™

I stopped playing Conquest because the bonuses aren't there... especially after the resource nerf for losing.

Turrets would just make me rage after spending 60+ seconds just capping a point in neutral.
