I am at such a loss now.

Talk about dicking around for 2 years and telling the community eff off.

[AntiSqueaker]

For Kerensky's sake, reading this it seems like most of you want this game to fail, if no other reason so you can feel vindicated and say "I told you sooo!"

I've put too much time and money into this game, and I want the best for it. I hope this timeline is kept. Even if I'm still upset about this whole deal, I hope PGI pulls through.

No. I want it to die so that years from now someone else with actual sense can make an honest to god Mechwarrior game that isn't out to **** it's playerbase.

I hear you buddy but at this point what else can we do? I am not going to spend anymore money until I see results so might as well watch this play out.

Just sayin, man... every time you log in, you are giving yourself as content, and reaffirming that "you really didn't mean it", and are still enjoying their game and the changes they have chosen to make.

I haven't decided, myself, as to whether I'll be continuing to play, or not.

we really need a new giant robot IP because balancing clans is kind of a huge problem

I do. Because once it dies, development of MWLL can commence, and we can get back to 3065.

Well that is a long time to await CW's. Honestly that is all I have really cared about and to hear its going to be another year is disheartening.
However I am not so harsh as many and do concede the many improvements to the game and hope that they can pull it together and give us CW's sooner than that post states, however unlikely.
Either way, I just want to play giant stomping robots in a competitive fashion, why not at the very least give us a lobby w/the implementation of UI2.0>?

Well, you better go out and buy 10 of those Golden Khans then... right away! What are you waiting for?!

It's this sort of mentality that has killed this game. By spending money on it, even after they make these idiotic decisions, and display real contempt for the community, you are effectively praising them and reaffirming that they are on the right path. Your words are meaningless to them.

Only your wallet and your play-time have any value to PGI.

My question is what will be the new excuse once UI 2.0 gets in, well that's assuming UI 2.0 gets in. I think it's funny he admits they are too small to handle this and expect people to give them hundreds of dollars more, after admitting to being too small to handle it. Who seriously thinks they can meet these new deadlines, does no one remember UI 2.0 was coming 3 weeks after launch, not it's tentatively scheduled for 5 ******* months after and that's just what they say now while they've got their grubby hands out.

Only if you have no ******* idea about game design.

BUT I CAN SELL THIS FOR MONEY whats $500 Golden digi pics really worth??

[color=#959595]Next on the subject of the Gold `Mechs, obviously they have caused a fair bit of a stir. These are for the hard core collector who wants something that will live on forever as being extremely rare. It’s purely a collector’s item and we are certainly not the first game to try something like this. If the idea seems ridiculous to you, essentially you can ignore them entirely, they will have no bearing on gameplay, other than be extremely cool. In the world of free-to-play, the people who spend more are picking up the tab for those who spend nothing. Their contribution should be appreciated by the other players, rather than invoke friendly fire as some people have suggested. They really should not offend you the world is full of avid collectors, everyone reading this knows somebody with a $20,000 collection of Magic the gathering cards and single cards worth huge amounts.[/color]

Well, you did stack both sets of L/M/H/As on top of each other in one grand accumulating package instead of splitting it off into two. It limits choice, though it also builds the requirement of spending $210 for the iconic Timber Wolf or $240 for the proclaimed future denizen of the MWO Uber tier Warhawk.

I agree, I beleive splitting the package into at least two different ones would have been a wiser marketing choice.

As for the gold mechs...anyone remember the joke they made about painting your mech pink and missle locks? I think gold is the new pink.

No, we want it to succeed! We care!!!!!!!!!! This forum is our support group.

(I'm being serious. Many of us love the IP and truly have tried to help PGI over the past year and a half).

Anyone who "loves" the franchise as much as PGI should know that balance is a lie that cannot be addressed through mechanical means - rather it is dependant upon story and context.

But why bother with source material when pretty lights, shiny decals and patches-for-patches are available.

[NoSkillRush]

At this point this thread should be closed. We received dates and confirmation and mostly all agreed not to spend anymore $$$ until we see results. At this point going to watch it play out.

Yeah i got this when OBT was launched without units.

Any news though?

[Jack Gallows]

I think I'd pay $500 dollars for more posts like the ones we've seen in the last few days from the Devs.

Ohgod my sides.

Time shows it's better to stick to something than try to please everyone. Otherwise you'll have a **** game witch **** community and a **** reputation.
