The 23rd of November is slated as a 'big reveal' so it will be interesting to see what info they make public. It's also my Birthday, so I'm hoping it will make for a worthy extra birthday gift.

In relation to the discussions around the taking of merc unit names and such, it might be worthwhile noting that some of the Wolf's Dragoons affiliated groups in the community have begun talking and trying to coordinate in taking sub-units of the faction, and tentatively trying to establish not only a persistent dialog, but also a pledge to work and aid one another.

Great topic John, inter Merc unit collaboration! The ideas that come to mind just from that statement!! Note added! More people, more ideas!

[Cattra Kell]

Just a reminder that tomorrow is hopefully podcast #4 recording so keep asking those questions or topics for discussion!

wolf74, great topic and information, will add this to the notes!

[Bombadil]

We're at #4 already? Woot! Love my new sig!

[Cattra Kell]

Just one more reminder to get your question in soon! We go live later tonight so this is the last chance until the next cast!

[Dihm]

Thoughts on unlimited tonnage in matches, lances being able to drop in all assaults and how they will not have an "advantage" against a mixed lance according to the Q&A. Thoughts on a light mech being "equal" to an assault and the role of Information Warfare. Should this be the case? Should there be drop limits for Conquest Matches or should it be unlimited? Are all light mechs scouts, even though they weren't historically? How do you think they'll handle a mech like the assault scout Charger (will it have IW capabilities, will it even be implemented?).

Thoughts on the fracturing of the playerbase. There are already 5 Houses (and possibly 1 more major faction, the FRR) that people will be split in to. Do you think they'd fracture the playerbase even more by letting people play as the Clans after they are introduced? I can't think of many/any games that have that huge of a split in the player population. What happens if one faction is underrepresented? It sounds like we'll only fight over "border" worlds, so the risk of a complete wipe isn't there.

Thoughts on the FRR. Will they actually let us play this faction, since, very quickly, it gets down to a very limited number of planetary systems. All their worlds are "border" worlds at that point.

Think they'll let merc units have members from multiple factions? We haven't gotten any information on how the merc corps will run yet, can they trade allegiances from one faction to another or are they tied down at the moment of their creation? Seems to go against the merc nature to do things that way, so my guess is they'll let multiple factions join a merc corp.

Speaking of which, now that I've caught up through all 4 podcasts, could you guys please stop the bashing on the "clans" and the corps using canon names? It rings so hollow when you guys keep promoting that you are from Wolf in Exile and have Kell last names. Or change your names if you want to continue complaining.

[Cattra Kell]

Thanks for the question Dihm, I'll see what I can get out of that question since its quite lengthy but I think some of these questions will be addressed in this weeks cast for sure! Can't guarantee how in depth we will get but we will touch on them for sure, lots of questions and information from last week to still talk about and we try to keep it under a hour but this week once again might be a two part cast again but for sure your questions will get in!

[phelanjkell]

Dihm, I'll read the post when I get home from work this late afternoon and take some notes! Thanks!!

[Dihm]

I tried to think of questions that could be discussed without us knowing much of anything.

Already going to be done, I will not be playing MW:O as PhelanJKell, due to exactly those reasons.

Maybe you guys could talk about issues/ideas that are being talked about a lot on the forums (or just topics you find interesting) as a kind of 'thread spotlight'.

I keep getting the urge to poke you guys going 'You podcasting, huh, huh? Are you?' XD or poking Bombadil going, 'get out of WoT and back to podcasting!'

I approve of that last part, tell him get out of world of tanks long enough to record!!

[Cattra Kell]

Recording is tonight due to some staff unable to be present and we didn't want to go on without them, we stay for our downed pilots. So there is a few hours before recording tonight so once more questions and discussion points are welcomed.

Also just a heads up to users:
MWO Forums:
- Amechwarrior
- J Echo
- Phalanx
- Cyttorak
- John Clavell
- Wolf74
- Dihm

Facebook:
- Marbo Belrick

Your questions are down on a classified document and hopefully we will answer and discuss the points you suggested!

[Dihm]

I take no responsibility for creating a crappy podcast if you use my questions. I never claimed them to be good!
