Seeing as UI 2.0 is due out in January (still later than promised) and teh clan mech are not due out till June, I'd say we are not getting clans before ui2.0

No but you get the chance to pay for them before UI 2.0 anyways.

New game: I'd rather get ________ than give PGI money

GO!

I propose a change: I'd rather get_______ than give my money to IGP.

As in, I'd rather get [to see PGI make the game they originally said they would] than give my money to IGP.

One of the bigger dissapointments for me, is the way the clans will be introduced now.

I was always hoping that CW will be out before the clans, so by the time the clan mechs come out we would have proper IS vs. Clan matches.
Now clan Mechs will suddenly fight against and beside me.

Also, it's a pity that no OmniMech mechanics where introduced into the game for the clans and that PGI is going the easy way and simply mirroring the IS variants mechanics.

That's like saying exactly how the Earth will cease to exist before actually seeing it.

I say wait and see, there is still a chance they can have CW worked out by then.

I have patience for major game changes.

If they do not get CW rolled out by the time Clans are out, hey, I can wait.

Currently, I do not care if CW makes it or not, I see it as a bonus at this point.

I'm sorry, I did not realize this game was not about mechs.

Must've been the title of the game.



YouTube it.

It is, the point is what about all the other stuff? Maybe PGI is actually stealing your cash, Ryvcuz...

I had a feeling that PGI was in some dire straits... and this confirmed it. Not only did they get the entire concept of Clan Mechs completely wrong (they are OmniMechs with the capability to equip gear wherever) but they have totally missed the boat on an opportunity to smooth things over with their community. This should have been thought out much better than it was and the delivery was about as anti-climactic as "launch day". For over two years now PGI has missed opportunity after opportunity to make a return on the investment of thousands of people who out of a passion for the franchise backed this project. Unfortunately for them it seems they finally crossed that final line with their community. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised at this point if this enterprise closes its doors before too long.

Omnimechs cannot equip whatever wherever. Omnimechs are mechs that allow the use of prebuilt omnipods to allow quick field refits and those pods only fit in certain areas. Not saying that it is ok that they have variants, but omnimechs are not what you think they are.

Everything else you have said has been said about PGI's sales since founder's and yet PGI still survives and the sales still sell well.

I am now actively hoping that this game fails so that the franchise can be picked up by a developer who will go ahead and make the single player game that we all actually wanted and got all excited for when we saw that first trailer back in '09.

It's what got me excited about the game in the first place then this happened...

Hmm this is not good at all.
The prices are a bit silly however there are enough sheep throwing money away it not only encourages this but sets precedents.
$240 is a bit steep for a game where we are effectively just setting fire to our money anyway. Sure people can break it down and say its just 10 bucks. However the fixed allotments is where the sting is not the individual value of the Mechs
Overlord cost what? $80 for 12 Mechs plus sundries.
If the Masakari cost $160 for the 24 I think it would be a better pill for us to swallow.
If they had something more like "for $80 you get to pick 4 clan chassis of your choice and we throwing in 2 variants for each plus some vanity. this would also have been more eatable by the community.

As the pages continually show the community is tired of all the un-kept promises and delays with just more cosmetics thrown at us for a premium.
$500 for a mech is just silly though as if I had got what I was wanting I would be shelling out $750 for essentially nothing but data,
If I was dared enough by enough I would get one for ***** and giggles to see the in game reactions.
Heck If you offered me the only gold Yen lo in the game I would buy. so i can run around and slap everyone with my giant gold Wang!!

And mechbays, but hey, no one is forcing you to buy anything, you can still play those for free when they are released.

How about I get the game I was originally promised when I purchased my Legendary Founders package first?

LOL, you still think PGI is some innocent hostage in all this?

[Meldorn Vaash]

I think I'll wait until I see some stats for the mechs first.

Are they?

I expected this to be a drop in and out FPS, which it currently is.

I did not see them promise anything other than the mechs, which they have delivered.

They've added more maps which I think is cool, they've done a lot of changes since closed beta.

Do I feel robbed? No, am I naive? I don't think so.
