Probably not. Not until they get a new hobby.

I think CW Phase 1 being 14 months late means that a lot of the white knights will leave, actually.


Nah, not until they get a new hobby

Oh sweet, they are also deleting posts and blocking people from Facebook?!
I was going to answer a simple question, but now can't - banned too. Really smooth, guys, really smooth. Don't make me regret the money I invested in you.

Anyway, looks like there aren't much info from the announcement. Any chance they would make another announcement after the finals?

I doubt it. They're very content with what they gave us I'm sure. Once again we are left with a promise of soon as usual. I actually sat down and figured it up. I'd easily have spent well over $300 this year so far had there been actual content to spend it on other than mechs at this point but wound up going to other games. I've literally spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on this ip over the decades and really would do so again but I can't see doing it if they aren't going to target me as a demographic and put out content at a decent pace

The trolling and laughter at the disconnect party was alarming!

I'm amazed the hosts stomped through!

They really need to get their servers stable tho.

Ah, pity...

Personally I've been saving some money. Was waiting to see if the launch party would give us some juicy info or even content - since the launch itself was so empty. Looks like it's just a messy meeting (at least the folks there are enjoying). My money is slowly going to other, better, games. At least they promise and deliver.

*sigh*

I sometimes wish I never knew MWO.

So if they actually do implement all of these things, why is that so awful? What exactly was everyone expecting? It sounds like it includes most of the ideas people have been saying they wanted. I'm not trolling, but seriously, I don't see what the big problem is.

The only problems I see is:

1.) Casual players want to play the game/mechs they want, and don't want to pay extra for mechs just because they are not in faction. It already takes WAY too long to grind a mech to master now. Plus, does this influence the MC price? Sure hope not, but then isn't that unfair to those buying with CBs? Plus, how many people already have a stable of 30+ mechs? It's unclear how this will really work.

2.) I sure hope that players can participate in the game and have access to pretty much all content without having to be a serious league player and/or listen to some self-important geek who wants to lord it over players who don't play as much. Teamwork is good, forced obeisance to other players is bad.

Edit: cool to see people playing the game, but watching all the people, I feel like I'm watching the Big Bang Theory...


It's not that people aren't happy about what they announced, or don't want the promised content. It's more that we've heard this a dozen times before, "It's coming soon, just around the corner, any day now, community warfare, clans, lobbies, and more." After someone tells you that something should be coming any day now a few times a month for over a year only for you to find out that there has been no tangible progress made at all, you start to feel cynical. So what we had at the launch was what we've had for over a year now; they've told us that CW is coming soon. Neat. But that's all they said, and they gave us no reason to believe that the promise this time was any more meaningful than the last 20 times. If they'd shown screenshots of what they had in progress, or given a demo, given concrete details about how it's all going to work, there would be dancing in the figurative streets. But we just got the same words we've been given before, and everyone who has been here long enough to know better is tired of hearing it.

I feel you there. There's too many other gaming options to actually spend money on, especially this time of year and next-gen consoles hitting the market in just over a month

I have a nice sum of money pushed aside for MWO, $300 in cash bills, and a $6000 wager in the bank.

the problem is as more games come into the spotlight, more games (which are being developed faster than this) are tugging on my wallet-strings a lot more convincingly than MWO... a game I've waited to dump cash on near-completion since First-Word.

TeamFortress 2 is tugging harder than MW:O, that's how hilarious the whole situation.
