A few months ago now, during a time when the same old maps played over and over, I gave up playing MWO out of sheer boredom. At the time I thought to myself, I'll come back at a later date when there must be a lot of new things to see and do. You know - real content.
Instead, what do I find? The same old boring maps (plus two) and some new mechs to shoot at.

What happened to all the content we were promised at the start? Did you bite off more than you could chew PGI?

I can't believe the entire game has settled and centered around just a small handful of post-beta maps. Okay, so a few new "tweaks" and "components" have crept in - big deal. It's still the same old repetition with the same old maps and nothing else.

Please tell me there's going to be a lot more to it than this.

There's going to be a lot more ghost heat style nerfs.

Also, new maps over time.

Well, I was promised a thinking mans shooter,
By the looks of your sig, we were both lied to. Get used to disappointment kid.

Look on the bright side. It could be worse. They could adopt Valve or Blizzard's style of disclosure that they're still using to this day:

When it's ready.TM

If only PGI's development schedule worked on your time, and to your expectations.

Seriously, what a dumb thread. I'm sure they're purposely delaying additional features in the game just to aggravate impatient people like yourself.

As much as this dead horse has been beaten, I definitely feel your pain on this. Development seems to be frustratingly slow, but its all relative. WoT, WarThunder etc all have hundreds of people working on them so content turns out faster.

The TWO LEGGED horse, even!

And yeah, presumably they're working on CW/Clans behind the scenes, so things are quite for the time being.

I had a long, infomative, constructive post in mind for this that explained this thread is nothing but a troll thread that has no other purpose than to incite flamage and trolling but then I thought to myself, "Sand(Icall myself Sand when I'm posting on the forums here), Sand, why bother? The OP already knows this, had it in mind before they posted it, so it would just be pointless." then I thought to myself "But what if I can prevent one poster from going full troll (you never go full troll, everybody knows that), then it would be worth it" then I thought "Well why not post a post that explained what I was originally going to do and then troll the thread for being yet another repetitive troll spawn that should be wiped out by a raid group brave enough to delve into the troll dungeons of MWO"

This post right here? It's just as constructive as the OP. Thank you and you're welcome

Personally I won't be happy until the devs make it rain mana and provide all mechs for free avilable on day 1 and make the testing ground the actual game

I thought all the "PGI Truthers" and "Occupy Third Person" posters were on a different forum.

Legendary Founder isn't enough. Legendary Overlords or bust!

I think everyone's really bummed out about how slow the progress is moving on this game, but most of us have learned to just accept the game for what it is; the best BattleTech-themed mech shooter on the market at the moment.

I prefer Elite Overlord... Legendary kind of implies that your time has passed :(
