For sure, I would be more upset once development has stopped.

You mean that Community Warfare that was supposed to be already in development, that they just told us WAS IN SYSTEMS ENGINEERING and not even development?

I guess it's good they're still developing Team Deathmatch at least...

Seriously PGI,

The amount of monetisation on this IS OBSCENE. UNETHICAL. With your current pricing your threading on a damn thin line. Even real Pay 2 Win games aren't this insanely monetised.

I rather your product crash and fail, despite me having paid over a few hundred dollars into it, phoenix package and all.

For that insane amount of money people can buy a new Video Card or better yet, buy several other new games which will be better designed and have better balance.

Fix the ******* game instead of money grabbing.

This x1000 forget PGI seriously You guys are a bunch of trolls . Trolling die hard battletech fans ever since you got a hold of our IP. Its pathetic that such a {Scrap} company with a bunch of pathetic game release's under there belt get to decide what the best child hood game franchise of mine gets to be like on this amazing hardware we have access to. At this point I'd rather microsoft pull your license or whoever else gave you permission to ruin one of the best IP's in exsistance. Bunch a money grabbing whores I swear.

But you will still be grabbing my money because I want this game to succeed. I'm sure in the end though I'm absolutely throwing it all away as if I could move for a vote of no confidence in PGI and let someone else take the reins I would. Maybe in 5 years at the snails pace you are all moving at it may be a fun game again but I'm sure by then I'll find something else to do.

Not buying.

I love this person and their response.

No hate, nothing, just simple.

[Nordstrike]

If they needed money this badly offer {Scrap} on Kickstarter and maybe some gullible rich kids would buy into it

Sure must be hard work taking those bases out. Someone should get a raise for figuring out how to milk that job for 2 years

[Lonestar1771]

Desperation never looked so good. Guess IGP is trying to recoup that money before they pull the plug.

[White Bear 84]

Hmm, maybe when the game is fixed a bit better.

Okay sure:

How about this little gem from December 9th, 2011:

http://www.pcgamer.c...e-inner-sphere/

There will be three types of world in MechWarrior Online. Core Worlds will belong to the devs. Major story events will happen on these worlds, and they can't be claimed by players. Faction Worlds can be taken, though. "Rewards for controlling these planets are directly linked to global bonuses and abilities associated with a player’s Faction," write Piranha. They've also posted a huge map of the Inner Sphere. Here it is:

This hasn't even BEGUN TO BE CODED YET!

And then there is this little interview with Bryan Erkman from October 2011:

http://www.pcgamer.c...ves-the-series/

A key part of this interview:
So the minute this game goes live, every day that passes in our world, it passes live in the Inner Sphere world. So August 1st 2012 is August 1st, 3049. And so we had a live content stream with a live, evolving universe going on as time progresses. We wanted to set it during that period of time because there's a lot of change. The Clans come down, they invade, there's the introduction of new technology. There's lots of story pieces that are happening, and lots of territory change.

Please explain to me where this "evolving universe" is exactly?

And thirdly the Offical Developer Update before the game went into OPEN BETA:

http://mwomercs.com/...eveloper-update

The one exception is the Community Warfare pillar which is a complex system but extremely important. In not wanting to delay the game, logic dictates it be added post-launch. Once fans are completely familiar with creating their 'Mech and pilot trees, the depth of Community Warfare will be added, with the core of the community experience projected to be in-game within 90 days of open beta.

The open beta commenced on October 29, 2012 and here we are now 410 days since the open beta commenced and 87 days past the game "release" I think it is again worth reiterating COMMUNITY WARFARE STILL HASN'T EVEN STARTED DEVELOPMENT

If you need some more examples I will be happy to provide them.

This needs to be on every page of every thread in every forum and then emailed to everyone.

Are their any responsible adults in this company? Are their any men of good conscience? I am beginning to see that their is not one among them! PGI, do you realize what you have done and are doing? Do you truly believe that this is acceptable way to do business,or better yet , to treat people? You have shown you self not to be able to deliver a real Opening launch, no CW, no UI basically, no game to be truly played! This is what you said you would deliver, and now you think its ok to ask for more money for whatever the reason. If your own children conducted themselves in the manner that you have acted, would you even claim them as yours? Would you tell them that this is acceptable conduct? I think we all would have to say NO you wouldn't What is it, that the players have done to you to deserve such disrespect? We played the game, we gave you ideas on what we need to make the game more real and enjoyable for the masses, we took the time to read the post and help newbies to learn the game ,we had others join fractions, ready to hit the game running as soon as it was completed, WE BACKED YOU when the real haters just complained to be complaining! and oh yes we gave our money, freely! What will you do when all this stops? Do you see a WE in this future,because very few of us do anymore.What we see is a incredible game that could have been the best out their, dying a slow and avoidable death. I have bought your founders package,your phoenix and saber ones too, but no more! Not until I SEE PGI become men of good concience

Funny thing, I actually understand what it takes to develop what they want, I am more than sure they have hit roadblocks and will have to change a lot of things they wish they could have, maybe even scrap the entire thing..

Only difference is, I'm not mad about it.

[Skwisgaar Skwigelf]

Don't they have a new game mode planned?

Team deathmatch but without the cap zones?

So we get to have 3 game modes and now we won't have that annoying cap counter up top!

[Midnight Blue]

It's a good thing that they postponed the release of these mechs until june 17th, because they shouldn't have been relased at all until CW and UI2.0 has been out.

Hopefully the release of these mechs, like every other target that the have missed gets pushed back even further, like next October.

[Felicitatem Parco]

They offer something that won't be available for at least 6 months, and most of the posts here are about how they should not be offering something like this because that coding isn't done yet.

Do you really want to wait an additional 6 months after they get UI 2.0 and CW bug free before releasing ANY Clan content?

Wow really? REALLY!?

Instead of one group of mechs we get two. If you noticed they went Light > Medium > Heavy > Assault on both groups. So evil how dare they give us more than 1 mech of each weight class.

Then show me the lower class package with the Timberwolf....awaiting the link....oh wait there isn't one.

Yeah how dare they offer a deal for you to preorder Clan Mechs because you're fans of the game. You people act like this is the only way to get clan mechs. Sheesh.

If you dont know where all those posts are, than tough. They been posted hundreds of times to the tune of dorks like you who still dont get it. THEY LIED TO US.

[BrownRubberSafetyPants]

I'm flabbergasted.

Well I know CW or fixing broken mechanics or adding more maps or giving us more game modes or releasing UI2.0 doesn't make you money so is low on the priority list but now you expect people to fork out a lot of money for a game - sorry half a game.
If I wanted a point and click game I'd play CoD or BF4 and for a lot cheaper.
PGI, you'll be doing your bank balance a lot better if you complete the aforementioned and make people want to play and pay for this game. As it stands I envisage a lot of people will be going eslwhere.

Roll on Half Life 3...

[Karl Marlow]

There are alot of unanswered questions here.

What are the specs for these mechs?
How do Clan mechs even work?
When CW is released will I be able to use these mechs while fighting for Marik?
If so will we ever see IS mechs?
If not how will I use the clan mechs in my mechbay since all battles are supposed to be CW battles?
How do we even sign up to be a clan pilot? Will we have dual affiliation So we can have one IS set and one Clan set?

I like Clan stuff as much s any other Batteltech fan but I have no information to justify spending money on these clan mechs and that is even before we go into the price structure.
