Just for fun, I'd like to fold my little tinfoil hat and ask:


Is this supposed to be a coincidence? Clan teasers just after the last round of announcements blew into their faces?

Smells like a mystery. Smells like a conspiracy. Smells like delicious forum rage.

You guys are all wrong and I figured it out. Like most sci-fi movies you just have to yell enhance at the screen and everything becomes 100% clear:

Facts:

This is the shadow of a Mad Cat.

This shadow looks like in-engine

This shadow is perfectly well placed, if you imagine the mech standing behind the building there, you can see that the shadow is right.

The shadow looks like this from Alex:






Either this is a great fake or a real thing.

Get excited guys!

The person with an Urbie in his sig denies the real truth - join us in the church of the Urbanmech and repent your sins misguided brother!

Whoops, it looks like one of us here at IGP pressed the wrong button and put some screens somewhere publically accessible. Seeing as this is already out, we’re going to leave this thread open, but please keep in mind for the future that unreleased content should not be posted on the forums.

Wish people would stop bashing PGI for every step they take, please tell me why that should be an anubis?!

Well, I must say... even with my ebb and flow of emotions over the last 2 years of play, I am still very excited to see clans in MWO. The Madcat (AND YOU BETTER BRING ME MY LOKI.... OR ELSE!) is an awesome first step to brining in a much larger world.

Unless you could prove it I don't believe you just wait till the 17 and show us.

[Sabazial]

Guys, honestly.. i think some people need to take it down a notch until we see an actual in game screenshot with an announcement. If it's not a Madcat, you guys are hyping this up to a point you're either gonna be massively, massively disappointed or there's going to be a forum meltdown that makes the 3PV threads look like a picnic.

Lets just wait and see before spreading the hysteria no?

I am not bashing pgi my point on this is how many times has pgi put out some type of teaser and the players go crazy about it. Then there is a huge backlash when it is not what 80% of the players thought it was. besides I am wrong on the anubis it has been pointed out to me on my team forums that the anubis came out in 3063

Could someone please merge this topic with the one from yesterday? http://mwomercs.com/...hats-that-mech/

Why would you waste time and energy on ANYTHING new that is not UI2.0 or CW? I for sure will not be buying *Founders 3.0* aka clan mech packages. I imagine this might even come into being before UI2.0 is fully implemented, definitely before CW.

Funny makes me wonder why you spend to much time and energy in the forums complaining

Are you then prepared to fight against 12 of them in a match?

Unfortunately, Clans will be "prepared" by PGI to be balanced against IS tech. They explicitly stated that Clan Tech of the 3050 Invasion will not be OP,...

AS IT ALWAYS HAVE BEEN AND SHOULD BE, PERIOD!!!

I dreamed to see 5 vs 12 matches (Star vs Company), but unfortunately PGI can't balance by numbers, because their palyerbase is too scarce to complicate matchmaker even more and because they are probably afraid of IS mechs becoming obsolete and Clan Mechs emerging as kinda P2W.

So yes, we are ready, don't get too excited. It's possible that Clan Tech balance will initially be somewhat offset (though not necessary making the Clans more powerful and not other way), but it will more or less settle down eventually.

Foo to all doubters and naysayers.

Patience is a virtue. Negative people need other hobbies in the meantime to keep them occupied.
Watched pot doesn't something something.

People will look back on this in 2 years and will not believe the negativity of this community. Why PGI develop anything for self-righteous, pompous, down-talking, green-grass-believing, know-it-all opinionated pessimists I will never know.

I sometimes think I would enjoy reading interesting forum topics more if all the negative-Nancys ACTUALLY left instead of threatening too.

I'm stoked and get excited every patch day to see what new content has come out.
If any game mechanics change, I adapt to suit them.
If content isn't released that is promised, I act like an adult and wait patiently since there is a viable reason it wasn't.

When something like THIS is even hinted at, it puts me at the edge of my seat. I look forward to meeting clanner-scum on the battlefield!

I'm guessing you haven't spent the last *nearly* two years watching PGI poop on one of your favorite childhood IP's huh?

Clans early 2013? Trollollolol nope
CW 90 days after open beta? Trollololol nope
UI 2.0 after at least a year of it being mentioned? Trollololol nope
DX 11 after a year at minimum? Trollololol nope

Glacial development pace? Yep
Terrible community interaction? Yep
Ridiculous {Scrap} running rampant for long periods of time in game? Yep
Repeatedly breaking promises made to core founders? Yep
Dismissing said promises and founders as "their position at the time" or "no longer the target demographic"? Yep
Demeaning players via social media? Yep


Plenty of silly junk to waste MC/money on tho!! Make sure you run out and buy another mech pack!!

With all the money thrown their way,you'd think there would be some sort of positive progress within a years time.

People have plenty of reason to be upset and pessimistic.

but,you know,first world problems and all that.

Don't get me wrong,I really really do hope MWO pulls a rabbit out of it's hat and surprises the hell out of all of us.I really do hope PGI gets it's **** together and gets back on track to make this a truly amazing game;But , I just don't see it happening.

The foundation is there,It has the potential.I just don't think PGI can pull it off.and that sucks.
