So glad i never spent money on this, although it is sad that i'll never get the time back.
Please hurry and sell the IP to someone better.

Excellent and succinct first post.

Rubbish, 1.3 million accounts but how many have left!! I know that I was in C3 with
10 others until 2 months ago, now all have left as they got board and switched to other more interesting games.
I do love MWO but im now also board and its time to leave it for a few months and hope for a real change then.

Once you've unlocked all the Mechs you like whats else is there!!!

We need more !!!! im 43 not 143, where a light and a rattle may stop me dribbling for a mo!!!

Not even new colour pattern for real money? PGI srsly?

Actually, they did release a new pattern IIRC. It's somewhere lodged in the patch notes.

Well, since 12v12 queues are only having a 5-10% failure to drop rate, and that's significantly better than back in the 8v8 days, it would suggest that there are more active players than before.

Most excellent news. One important question I have.

Do you intend to include conventional wepons in the battles Tanks, infantry etc....similar to the pen and paper game?

You want that, you have to play MWLL i am afraid.

It's been great watching the game evolve over the years. Some good things have come out, and not so good things. All in all it's still great to have a MechWarrior title on the PC again. I guess the only thing left to say is...bring on the clans! I mean, I have all this founder time & phoenix premium time i'm sitting on and I really need to get my MadCat, Thor, Loki & Masakari.

Launch trailer was great quality, I enjoyed it. Makes me want those glowing Atlas eyes back. Timing of the video was mixed well with the music. Also makes me wish we had cool music in the game.

So, why are you taking PGI's word on the 12-mans as gospel? Have you actually played 12-mans?

I've played enough to know that the stated stat is nowhere near the truth.

ooohh yea...

You mean founders like me, most who are still playing? I'm sure a big chunk of the remaining ones will be back when CW comes out.

By all means if you want to keep "investing" your money go ahead, otherwise you are just another meaningless founder to pgi, because they have shown that the dont care about us. Oh wait even if we spend money they still dont care about us.

We are not the target market, they want the massive console style casual gamer market that numbers in the tens of millions (insert GTA/COD/BF and so on here)

Will they transition from the mechwarrior/battletech fanatics to this new playerbase? who knows?? I wish them luck with their endeavor but I have sent my money and time elsewhere, and will only log in when the 20 toners come out to see the scaling...

[Mighty Spike]

disappointing,like expected.

[Angel of Annihilation]

Definately going to be remembering this launch.......As the most anti-climatic launch ever.

Hi, this is the most anemic launch possible, the day after GTA5 launched.

edit: I like the "Free shiney if you play 24 matches, please come play so we have some kind of statistics to show IGP that we're not losing money/community interest and we can claim we have an active community."

Dude, it's a big world. Every single day some product is being released somewhere in the world or some event is happening somewhere in the world. Prefer it come out on Super Bowl Sunday or Ramadan or the new Batman vs Superman movie? I'm sure MWO was actually targeting the League of Legends Season 3 Championship while trying to distract from the Colorado floodings and Navy Yard shootings while appealing to the Dancing with the Stars demographic.

Come on...

They don't? They provided the founders with exactly what they asked for. Bunch of mechs, MCs, premium time, put in the credits, etc, etc. What do we have to complain about?

Welcome to launch. Reminds me of a song.

Once in a lifetime, letting the days go by;
Same as it ever was,
Same as it ever was,
Same as it ever was


Seems like pre-launch and post-launch are the same as it ever was, letting the days go by.

[Faktopus Osis]

Launch is great and all, but perhaps balance and gameplay issues should've been addressed beforehand, and released with a bug/crash/hitreg issue free (ish, no game is perfect) game. Instead, it feels like PGI just got bored of calling it a beta.

Perhaps the amount of polite criticism tolerated scales with dollars spent on the game? I have purchased about $400 of latitude as a customer to comment on the product I was sold.

I was sold something else entirely. That's a fact, Jack.
