I do have a few questions, because some of the information in this post made things less clear to me from what I thought was perfectly clear before.

Will there be a limited number of Founder's Packs? I'm worried you'll make it available while I'm at work and by the time I get home (can't login from work), the limited number will be gone. Please say there can be an unlimited number of Founders (and the time limit to purchase is at least a week).

I thought purchasing a Founder's Pack meant you would be part of the Closed Beta beginning July 17th (I understand it's now August 7th) but from this post, it sounds like it might be a pool that is rolled out over time beginning August 7th... this wouldn't be cool. If I put down $60, I'm expecting that all who purchased it get in on August 7th. Is this correct?

Just looking for clarification, so I know what's coming.

Other than that, keep rolling out the Beta Keys! Even though it sounds like no more will be released until August 7th for Founders.

Can't tell if trolling or English second language? But ALL CAPS is annoying as heck.

Honestly, if you want to be fairly certain you can run this game...and this is NOT a plug for another game but go download world of tanks. I say this because it won't cost you a dime and if you can run it through 5-6 different maps on different settings you'll have a good idea because it can be a demanding game graphics wise. Some maps my 2gb nvidia 560 will drop to below 20fps so it should be a good test.

Again just reccomending it as a possible way to test game performance.

I honestly don't think this is a fair comparison. For example, I run WoT with about 30 FPS. However, I also need to do things such as disable smoke (particle effects) and use texture compression. At the same time, WoT is a very unoptimized game and shouldn't even be running as slow as it does. However, their own listed system requirements just aren't comparable, and if you try to run it on that system you'd be lucky to even get the game to do anything.

My problem is I'm using a laptop because my life is too mobile to have a desktop. You can't really upgrade a laptop. So that means buying an entirely new machine. Sorry, don't love Mechwarrior to plop down $600 on a new system.

Doesn't this mean that you freebirths will get less time to prepare for the clan invasion as well? Since founders will enter on august 7th instead?

Why would we need more time to beat up on canned meat in a mech?

[Jason Phoenix]

Seriously, thats what im talking about.

+1 to PGI with this announcement

Just one question: What happens to the community that is already in beta test? Will the ppl in closed beta now have to purchase the founders pack to continue their beta testing until it's in official open beta?

In that case, i'll just wait for founders pack instead of pressing F5 every god*amn second

Okay, I never really post to this site but I read it regularly and lurk on the forums hourly, but after reading that news post I have to say something.

Impressive, damn impressive. Not only has every Dev blog so far seemed like a dream come true, but you're giving us a detailed outline of your launch plans and keeping us involved in the whole process. That's a big risk, I want you to know that I realize how big of a risk it is and as such how much I appreciate you being willing to take that risk.

I've been dreaming about a MechWarrior MMO ever since I got into MMOs as there hasn't been a true MechWarrior title in close to a decade now. My brother and I would often theorize as to how such a task would be accomplished and what core aspects of a Mechwarrior game would need to remain for it to still be enjoyable as an MMO. So far you've managed to not only not dissapoint me, but impress me with every detail you've announced. I just simply cannot describe it any better than: Every aspect of this game seems as though it's coming straight out of my own dreams and I wouldn't change a damn thing about it.

Not like me to be fanboyish, but MW3 was what popped my online-cherry and I've never found anything that could recreate that experience. I hope you guys succeed, I really do, it's been a lot of ups and downs over the past 10 yeas and you've managed to come the closest. If you fail now after coming so close I feel I may never see my dream come true in my lifetime... No pressure though! ;P

Sincerely,

Static1Shot (I actually got given that callsign back in MW3)

For those of you having issues with graphics cards, i've come a cross a nice little table that might help you all.

http://www.tomshardw...iew,3107-7.html

the sub-section you're looking for is Graphics card heirarchy chart...use that to draw your comparisons....then do your own research. i will not be held responsible for your dropping a whole months wages on a card that doesn't do what you want it to do.

My reaction to the post was initially quite welcoming.

Beta stuff - exactly what i envisioned to be fair...

Founders stuff - When exactly will the founders package be withdrawn from sale? Will you be able to buy multiple founders packs for the same account?

Date move - We've been waiting 10 years for this...it'll be painful but I'm sure we will survive.

Everything down to the euro players paragraph was as expected...yes even the community warfare delay...I would rather they get it right than put it in and then work on it.

Euro players section. This intrigued me....

Russ Bullock, on 15 June 2012 - 01:10 PM, said:

Okay European players, here is the answer you have been looking for: Yes you can buy the Founders Package and you will never be blocked from continuing to play on the North American servers. Also if we are able to set up servers in your region you will be given a onetime opportunity to transfer to those regions servers taking everything you own with you.

You will never be blocked from continuing to play....that is good to know even though that means us euros will be playing at a 200ms deficit.

If we are able to set up servers in your region you will be given a onetime opportunity to transfer to those regions servers taking everything you own with you......This worries me. Alot. Its also brought up more questions than I had yesterday so, Mr Russ Bullock and associated parties, I would like to ask you.....

Does this mean that if we chose to transfer to a closer pug server we can never play with our american counterparts?
Does this mean i have to make a choice between latency and friends?
Why is it not possible to have a global account and then a redirect to a server depending on if it is with a pug or a match with friends in a group?
How about a simple switcher in main menu or the mechlab that lets you, me...ie the user, CHOOSE which region server to connect to?
Will i even be able to have my american friends IN my friends group?
How is having regioned servers going to be affected by the community warfare implementation in X months time?
Where abouts in the US will the servers be located? Somewhere central I hope because, on personal experience, connecting to a west coast server from the UK is akin to shaving my nethers and then applying tiger balm instead of soothing lotion.

I would love to drop sixtybux on your product but I am still worried about limitations concerning playing with my friends...if i wanted to drop with randoms then i would still be playing WoT.

Not much chance of you seeing this, i know, but i feel that i have to air my views and concerns somewhere, so instead of creating a new forum thread that gets buried in 5 hours...i would drop it here instead.

Respects and Regards,

St1x a.k.a. Nic

How about people from Asia, can wa purchase a founders pack?

[haesslich]

So it's time-limited, not 'number of units' limited. Very good.

Now to wait for August...

Because its a more powerful card, being an X8XX series (high end) compared to an X6XX series (low end). A 5870 is better than a 4870, a 5770 is better too, slightly, but a 4890 is better than a 5770. The main thing is that a 4XXX does not have dx11 support, so if you had a 4890 you would be better off using it over anything up to a 58XX series, unless you really needed dx11 support, in which case any 5XXX would be better than nothing. I cant recall off hand what a 4850 would be comparable too, but it would probably be around a 5730

This is one of the things that I hate about graphics cards. When I buy something, I want to know how good it is, compared to other, similar options.

Imagine if you went to order a drink and the size options were: 44, 48, 54, or 58, but instead of being small to large, the 44. is a small, the 54 is a medium small, the 48 is a medium large, and the 58 is a large. It makes no frickin sense. >_<


As a side note, I guess I am buying a founders again, since I have a 4800 card, and apparently that's better than a 5600. (which is silly)

[The Crow2k]

Cool, so I can extrapolate from the new for Europeans that IF oceanic servers are added later I can likely do a one time transfer of my NA account & all assets to there ?

[Corbon Zackery]

Most people will run the game in min graphic settings to keep the data stream under 200MPS anything higher and you might get a lag spike during that key shot to take out that Hunchback.

It all sounds good.

[Stalker47]

ty can't wait!
