So, is there going to be a Launch Trailer or something? Some news pumped out into the media to get this event out into the public stream rather than the closed communities that circle this site?

Don't be silly, PR and advertising isn't in PGI's vocabulary

Someone wake me when CW and UI 2.0 have been released. Until then, I'm powering down.

Like I said, time is more valuable to me than money. I religiously convert XP. I've even been known to buy a mech for MC and scrap it for Cbills so I can get that big shiny engine I want for my flavor of the day without having to grind for it. Grinding is lame. I've been known to buy a mech and instantly master it with GXP. Hell, I've elited an entire group of mechs just so I could master one.

$120 Founders
$80 Phoneix
$40 Sabre
$100 - 1 year premium
$400 - 4x 25,000 MC purchases.

Ok so it's technically $740, I exaggerated $60 of it.

Thanks for indulging my curiousity. Now I have another candid, honest question for you:

100,000 MC. What the hell did you buy with it?

Congratulations, guys!

Best wishes for a successful future for the game with much giant robot stomping fun.

Every paint/permanent paint patterns for every mech? Dunno.

Congrats on the milestone!

[Hawkeye 72]

Can we at least get some screenshots of Community Warfare? At least its interface?

Or...idk...a post giving a detailed account of how it will work?

Or...maybe just a vague post confirming its still alive?

Anything?

I think Open Beta had more fanfare than this. Hell Closed Beta was more exciting.

Congrats on the milestone anyway.

I'm sure that they will collect as many statistics as possible while we all rush like lemmings to get in those extra matches and collect our operation 24 doo-dads, thus showing how vibrant the game is post launch.

I just counted again and it looks like there are only 21 'Mechs currently in the game (chassis that is). So where does the 24 'Mechs thing come in? Are they surprising us with 3 new mechs? Or did I somehow miscount...

...and directly above you, PharmEcis admits to spending $740 so far. Between the two of you, you're averaging $370 each. Isn't that neat?

In a subscription based game model, the casual gamers subsidize the game for the elite hardcore. In a free to play model, the hardcore gamers subsidize the game for everyone. In a free to play model, you're either a customer...or you're the content. You don't want to spend anything on a game you've been able to play for free? Great! Don't! You're still making them money just by logging in and giving folks like PharmEcis someone to shoot at.

You don't want to pay anything? Great! You're not a customer, though. You're the content. Remember that.

It's insidious. Exploiting the tendency of consumers to rush like lemmings towards any "LIMITED TIME ONLY" doodad without thinking about why the doodad is there in the first place.

Why is this patch taking forever? There isn't anything in it.

...level and rank system

within faction- it is great!
showing your "level" in matches like in some other games (errhgm-battlefield, eghmm-WoW)- not cool

I basically have all Hero mechs, I've bought plenty of regular mechs for MC instead of grinding for them... Like I said, I hate the grind and if I want it now, I get it now. Many of the purchases were probably influenced by some sort of narcotic. I mean just look at my username! lol But to be fair, it's probably the hundreds of XP conversions that ate up a large chunk of it.

I actually liked the patch notes aside from the AC/2 being on the ghost heat list and no changes to pulse lasers. It was definitely disappointing from the context of a highly hyped "big day," but it's decent when compared to an average patch day.

[DeadOnAim]

This is so pathetically sad on so many levels

[Donner]

Yay

[WM CyberWolf]

Its been a FUN ride, look forward to many more years with MWO!

[Reno Blade]

Gratulations to everyone!

Now lets go back to battle and shoot stuff like every day!
