Ladies and Gentlemen,
dear Mechwarriors,

the rules and regulations of this forum are harmed by users of the same.
I am refering to:
http://mwomercs.com/...ting-etiquette/
where it is written

Quote

Consider the following things when posting:
  • Is what you're saying a useful contribution? Are you trying to start a fight? (Common Sense, everyone)
  • Has this been talked about in another thread? Possibly, in many other threads? Use the search function!
  • Is what you are about to say advocating and/or making light of criminal activities? (Chances are we don't advocate that, nor think it's funny)
  • Intentionally posting false information, or making false statements.


Moreover the CoC defines spamming and trolling as

Quote

  • Excessively communicating the same phrase, similar phrases, or pure gibberish
  • Creating threads for the sole purpose of causing unrest on the forums
  • Causing disturbances in forum threads, such as picking fights, making off topic posts that ruin the thread, insulting other posters
  • Making non-constructive posts
  • Abusing the Reported Post feature by sending false alarms or nonsensical messages
  • Numbering a thread, IBTL, TLDR, or any other fad statements


Dear PGI, would you mind to obey the rules of this forum, please?!

As our Front-page news updates are tied to the Announcements sub-forum, a repost was necessary to ensure this Command Chair update appeared on the main-page. This is an issue we hope to address in future web updates, and we apologize for any inconvenience this post may have caused for those who have already read this update.

Thanks for the clarification Niko. Now I get it.

Although It may seem I'm complaining (I don't mean to be) it then begs the question why Paul simply didn't post in the announcements thread first? Oh well never mind...

Seriously the "problem" is what its always been: us MW fanboyz are hanging out for any and all updates we can get! Its a bit like the Kid told he's going to Disneyworld "are we there yet...!" All communication from you at PGI/IGP is appreciated though occasionally these weird apparently redundant postings irritate.

++ thread derailment/diffusion

Now all I want to know is what the heck Paul meant in his last post

UPDATE (Dec 9)

Due to the number of new Mechs being pushed out this upcoming patch...
WHAT "number of new mechs?" What did I miss? (Seriously somebody tell me) I thought it was just the T-bolts coming out for Cbills next patch 1 mech + variants is not what I would have described as "(a) number of New Mechs being pushed out this upcoming patch,"... ? :)

Damn people be grateful that we even have a good game of Mechwarrior, just cause we all have our mechbays full, mastered current maps & hiding positions, shot off every load :), and pitted our piloting skills for the biggest and best doesnt mean you have to sledge what most still enjoy playing over and over.

almost like a spoilt child openning a xmas present, unwraps it, smiles, then moves onto his next present (#34), never satisfied with what he has.

Damn it how many cars do you need in the garage. There are plenty of games developers out there milking gamers for illusions of a better game and promising 6bit pixels in comparison. So stop your petty whinning like wounded kangaroos on the side of highway and have a cup of cement! :P

Pratically :rolleyes: the game and stopped playing the others bc of it.
I look at it as we are in 3050 and the universe there is going same rate of time as here, so naturally if I am living on some backwater planet in the Battletech Universe, this is pretty much what I expect to see in my local hood!
Look forward to future development

IMHO, I think it was just to manage expectations, and to inform everyone that there will be no further update this year.

Just my .02 Credits though.

Personally, I think the Devs just realized they couldn't meet the deadline to get the video Dev Update done (it's a complicated process to get the camera turned on and speak for a few minutes, and the Project Meeting called to plan it probably ran into organizational issues pertaining to who would be responsible for which task), and so had to slide in the previous material into the place of it (with a new title card to enhance the dramatic introduction).

At least we can now go on with our Holiday business now that we know this is what we'll have until January.

Does the fact that this is entitled "End of Year Designer Update" mean we won't be getting a November or December CDU, or anything to replace the ATD until next year sometime?


Yes. Also, it will take PGI at least 2 months to produce a 10 minute video detailing content that has already been covered/promised. Lucky us... The lovely ladies over at Warframe manage to put on a 2 hour livestream every week, PGI has their work cut out for them...

Hey guys, people like us who come here every day and refresh the forums 4 times a day... nothing is news. Casuals who fly by twice a month? Some stuff in there that might get missed. What PGI never counts on is that all of the "feedback" about this will now be about the timeliness of the post, not the content therein.

The content that would be new had you not read it before.

By that reasoning, PGI should just shut-down this game, for a month, and re-re-release it as an XBoxOne exclusive title. No one would know the difference if they had not read anything about it before, and MWO could be reborn!

The negativity on this thread is astounding. Better stay away from now on.
