As pointed out repeatedly there should have been TWO packs, each consisting of a light, med, heavy, assault, not this linear upgrade path.

This is why the word "greed" gets thrown around.

The irony is that they could still charge $240 for both packs in this scenario and NOT **** so many people off.

They threw the madcat at $210 because they know everyone would want it but then they would think what another $30 since I already spent $210 and buy the $240. As if they know the people who buy their products can't control themselves.

Maybe the management doesn't actually know what's in the game? That's the only conclusion I can think of when Russ ignores the missing Phoenix badges and the unimplemented loyalty points. Or maybe it's just cognitive dissonance to prevent him from thinking himself dishonest?

When PGI said CW was close, who knew they were referring to the forums, specifically this thread.

[BertyBargo]

I guess my question to everybody who is angry is...

What are you gonna do when PGI addresses this thread on Monday (most likely) and they change the prices or offer some tiny compensation, like a gift certificate for a kid's meal at Ruby Tuesdays with every purchase?

Are you gonna backtrack and pay a bunch of money, sight unseen? Or are you going to stick to your guns and wait for progress to be made?

Exactly... every time Russ tweets... he sticks his foot in his mouth. Dam you PGI...you've made me hate playing the franchise game that I've loved all my life.

More mech and c r a p skins, how about some ******* content..!!!! I wont give a dime for that clan c r a p, before i see more content.

Many players already paid a small fortune for founders pack.. 1 or 2 yrs ago cant remember, and then you exspect, us to pay another 100-500 dollars for more mechs... are you freaking insane.

I paid for Overlord pack, but thats where this madness stops. PGI give us content NOW!!! Release that Ui2.0 or wth its called and dx11, but you tell its causing you problems.. well hire some ******* competent people then. Its already taken you guys far too long.. for well everything.

You know, I just posted in the suggestions thread how PGI could turn this karma around.

Donate 100% of the Gold 'mech profits to charity.

It worked before and I'll give you a pass on them if you do this PGI. It's Christmas, so let's turn your greed into something positive

Remember: Giving them lots of money for nothing is the reason we still have none of the above (ok we do have the island we're on). We tried giving them money, now it's time to try holding out. If they die as a company it's not like they'll be really moving much slower than they are now.

Yes, you overgolds are the reason we don't have a good mechwarrior game atm. Why would anyone put effort into something, when they dont have to? Finally you wake up to the truth, the truth we tried to tell you ages ago.

Unless they cut by half or more the price of the packs to the founders/phoenix, no deal.

Like someone said in 1 or 2 pages back.

Founder users wanted to support this project.
Phoenix users wanted to support the game.

But this... is too much.

Alright Niko, here is my feedback for you.

3. If by June 17th PGI has delivered the following bullet items...

*UI 2.0 (which includes auto-buy features for consumables)
*Integrated DX11
*Properly functioning SRMS
*Community Warefare
*Game play that is dynamic and compelling enough to make me want more

...then I will plop down $240 for your Masakari collection.

If you can deliver those items by June 17th, and these clan packages are still available, I'll buy your $240 package.

Deal?

I'll probably even buy a 2nd account.
My current account strictly for Inner Sphere, and a 2nd account for strictly Clan.

But if the content isn't there....
I'll just play a 2nd or 3rd round of golf every week instead.
Deal?

I've run premium time since starting this game. Seemed to me that since I enjoy the game I should send money to those who have created it. Sadly it appears PGI has decided to Cash Grab. I have no confidence anymore. To ask such prices so quickly means only one thing to me. They've given up. They can't get CW to work, they can't find a way to fit clans and sphere into the game. They know their goose is cooked. Since the 3d renderings of mechs would be the first part of product creation, they are branding there mechs up as clans and they will launch them using the same hardpoints/weapons as inner sphere. It's a cash grab. Cut development costs and get what you can. make anything available that will make money. Set the launch half a year out to get every sale you can. Then drop a hot **** in the middle of summer and cash out. The game will run as long as real money keeps flowing, but development will be over. Seems MWO has run its course and is setting up for the endgame.

PGI please take note: your community is angry at having half a game. There is a possibility of repairing it: give us the transparency you have repeatedly promised on how the state of the game is progressing - AND actually deliver on the content.

For my own part, nothing changes. I bought in to founders. Haven't paid since. The things I wanted out of the game aren't implemented yet. So I'm continuing to wait.

That's been my stance since the game prematurely left closed beta.

FoxFang, on 14 December 2013 - 12:58 PM, said:

I've still not cashed in my premium time, and I'm still waiting to start monatizing in this game for when it is complete.

You might want to rethink that. The record this developer has with finishing anything in a timely fashion is abysmal. With your approach, the game may have folded before you've used your premium time. My advice: Wait for a double XP weekend, start your premium and marathon it. Then wait for a double GXP conversion weekend and convert away. Oh, and buy mech bays. Maybe pick up a few paints and camo patterns when they go on sale. Thing is - use that premium you paid for, before you maybe don't get a chance to use it at all.

That depends on them.

If they say, "Merry Christmas, here's UI2.0 and CW! In the game, right now, just in time for Christmas!" I'll probably throw money at Clan 'Mechs.

If it's something less than that… they'll probably get nothing from me.

Keep in mind I had Russ given an interview question on NGNG and he thought 'mech climbing angle had to do with tonnage and "complex math." Opposed to a rating of Tiny-Huge given by the 'mech artist.

Garth thought Ghost Heat started at 4 launchers, and that almost no 'mechs could use that many.

They don't know their own game.
