Bryan just came back from a two weeks break so I am sure he needed some time to work on the new update. I wouldn't be surprised if we got it tonight or tomorrow.

Well, turns out I was being a stupid delusional simpleton, wasn't I? :/

So. .. Where ist the Dezember CDU? (Did anyone ask this question already?)

Being a stupid delusional simpleton is a prerequisite to having a continued interest in MWO.

I was sure some update on CW, if not the awaited factions update, would arrive with the patch. But again the dog ate their homework. Whatever....

Someone with an economic interest in the company should have a capital letter conversation with these slackers.
Or are they all too busy holding power meetings down at the mayors office!

[Lefteye Falconeer]

The thing is, they realized at some point in October that they needed to made a big effort in communication with the player base to keep the interest up and make people feel listened to and cared for.

THEN, all of a sudden, it all dropped again in November. And that is silly considering how critical these times are. Having the UI 2.0, DX11 and CW "almost ready" means NOTHING to the community until you deliver.

So how how how how HOW HOW HOW in hell did they think reverting back to no communication, no news, no info, no transparency (look at the avoidant answers in the last Ask the Dev) could be a good idea?

We all know the November Creative Director Update would have been exactly the same as last month's but still it is unacceptable to just go underwater like that and leave the community with a game that does NOT get enough new stuff to keep the interest up and not even having the decency to keep speaking openly with your customers.

While I understand coding a new interface or developing a community warfare can be hard and take months, spending an hour on the your forums eventually showing your presence in a thread, answering a few questions, making people feel things are alive, and yeah compiling the new Director Update and finding ways to be honest about it and make it interesting is the LEAST you should be able to do, PGI.

It's like you are once again asking for people to lose faith and passion here. Good job at that.

They have Artemis rework and DX11 missions of great importance. Do not bother them

Great blanket statement there. I suppose I should feel insulted for my still being interested in MWO (this doesn't mean I wouldn't like to see progress/changes) But being the stupid delusional simpleton that I am, I wager I'm below being insulted.

[tommilator]

You don't have to be a stupid delusional simpleton to be here, but it helps.

sorry Dragonsfire. It was in reply to LeftEye, but the browser on my win phone doesn't handle quotes, so it ended up as a blanket statement.

I'll still be here next November. Yes, I'm that stupid!

Well you know they were selling Phoenix Packs when they were communicating more. So next time they have a big package to sell we will get some communication bones tossed to us. Plus, they can't take time away from their important work, unless it's for vacation.
The obvious reason they stopped the trickle of communication is they have nothing good to communicate. That combined with them being afraid of negative reactions, they tend to say nothing until they spring things on us. They are of the opinion that people will suck it up and soon enough the boot lick will be around to say how "entitled" people are and how loads of people are happily playing and sucking it up.

[NuclearPanda]

It's a constant dance of communication and miscommunication it seems with PGI.




Either they're doing great with it or doing poorly. Seems like there is never a middle ground.

Well, we knew the Devs are no more than little kids with slide rulers. When they said 'We're sorry about the miscommunication/lack of communication', we should have known they had their fingers crossed behind their backs. It's not like they haven't done that to us before.

To expect them to behave like they are a company rather than a loose group of engineers who occasionally clock in together is probably being a bit optimistic at this point. We've had ample evidence that the Devs all believe words are just conveniences of the moment and not important in any way, so why would they consider communication with their customers more important than their World of Warcraft time?

TANK GOD FINALLY DEATH MATCH!!!! I am so sick of cap races. Now us players who want to fight can fight.

[Kamies]

C'mon Bryan! Do the video update already! Movember is almost over and we wanna see are you really old enough to have facial hair! The mustaches should be visible already.

[mark v92]

Yes yes we have a website with forums about our game mwo. lets post any mwo related news on twitter...
What are they thinking?
Even if the news is not that big just post it on the forums. its why they are there.

its like me posting stuff from a school project on facebook and my teammates dont know what i am working on in the project because i only post it on FB

So we don't have a November update because they want to answer SOON in 1080p. Ok sure. Are they filming this thing with stop motion.

Big things coming in December.

Golly, we are a bunch of cynics.

No, really. We are a bunch of cynics. With justification.
