I'm sorry, but I see no difference in the game since beta started. There are still major changes to everything that affects game balance... Why is this not considered BETA? Maybe this is the new P4F method, no one buys the game itself so there is no obligation to sell a finished product and there for BETA is really just a sales pitch for early investors into a game and closing BETA is the end instead of the beginning now? {Scrap} I spent too much money here :) lol

Could we go back to beta, even if we wanted to?

Can we all agree to start playing the game we have instead of crying for the countless different ersatz games each of us carries around in our head and just knows would be better than this?

Can we stop asking questions that have no constructive point?

QFT.

Had we stayed in CB another 6 months, I think we would have been in better shape. At least then, people were actually TESTING the game, not just playing in to get a "Leg up" on launch.

Probably would still have a Gen Desc (for those of you who actually MISS it) had the mouth-breathers not been let in the game so soon.

We either left BETA too soon, or the development progressed too little between CB and release - which once again means that we did, indeed, leave BETA too soon.

Its so the OP can have a number of people agree with him so he can feel better about his own opinion. :o

He's not wrong though, I would have liked to stay in beta until CW or at least UI 2.0.

Okay my problem w/this post is this >>> Member Since09-July 13. How can you possibly state that you have not seen a difference in game since beta started when you joined only 3 months ago?

^^^Agreed...this thread is dumb.

Obviously OP was not here when all we had was one map (forest colony), or when LRM's melted people, and when streak cats were the scourge...basically a post based on his 1 month of playing in OB just prior to the 'release' as this game has changed dramatically since CB.

god only knows why pgi took away the biggest excuse on the forums for shoddy development. Imagine it has something to with money, but I can't see any universe where doing so would be net gain.

Unless this is an alt account.

We left closed BETA too soon.

We left open BETA too soon.

We Launched too soon.

Lots of new mechs, a few new maps, one new game mode. But we still don't have the one thing we all really want, which is CW. That was the selling point of the game, at least to me. And unfortunately it looks like we are still very far from that. In fact, I heard from people who played with UI2.0 in the test server that it feels very unfinished and is very un-intuitive. Not a very good review for something they have been working on for so long and have been showcasing.

Imagine all the new players that will have to re-learn the new UI JUST when they've gotten used to the current one.
Also to have mech screens still displaying [No-Signal, AutoDetect] must look super unfinished to new players.

Oh, c'mon! If they hadn't let the mouth-breathers in, we'd still be waiting for CLOSED beta to start. Hell, we'd be waiting on the in-house testing....
