Really nice to see, that PGI is making a timeline to bring ALL features they ever talk about into the game until 17. of June.
Guess otherwise no wise guy will really pay for this packages...

Can´t belief that someone will pay NOW for this overexpensive package to get them in about 6 month without no game changes.

Means: UI 2.0 + DX11 within 2 Month
CW within 4 Month
Factions and all other features within clan package will be happen...

Strange timeline PGI!

They won't do it, they can't. Not without 186 days of solid 24 hour work.

Won't the introduction of clan tech mean the introduction of a wide variety of new weapons...ssrm 6, uac20s to name a few. We have a problem with weapon balance now. What will this do...

It's a very good question. One of the benefits of the old 3015/3025 setting is that you don't have an explosion (more than double) in the amount of weaponry that needs to be balanced.

Okkaaaaayyy then.

First off, its important for people to understand, that in our current age of "gaming" people pay stupid amounts of money for things that are unique or special. Star Citizen sells you a ship for $5000 on a promise and the fact that you will be special. The $500 mechs are ********, but some will sell, because people like to invest their hard earned cash into hobbies, for this same reason is why half the people I game with, will buy 100 games during the Steam sale...Because collecting is a hobby to them, despite the fact they will never play em.

Things wrong with this announcement are basically all covered here already but these are the ones I wont buy in because of:

- UI 2.0
- CW
- DX11
- 2 Games modes, dropship mode has been a "Thing" since closed beta, still nothing in our hands almost 2 years later
- Worst game launch from open beta to retail ever. EVER. They could of least threw in the clanners as their big surprise

It doesnt matter what mech you pilot if youve put in 1000 matches of each game mode, repitition is boring. I stopped actively playing in September, and when I loaded MWO up last night I couldnt find anything different, no new features, nothing. Funny 3rd person went from a wisp of air, to concept, to PTR, to patched in within a few months, but programming in a generic capture the flag game mode hasnt?

Horrible choices have been made these last few months, I can no longer champion PGI's cause when they had the balls to announce this mech pack.

I tried to be nice during release. I really felt that 0 reviews & the massive trolling was obviously bad for the game. I tried to deny that PGI would clan pack & run to the bahamas on vacation.
But PGI doesn't play along.
They do exactly what all the trolls and mean people said - no ui 2.0, no CW, no...anything. ui 2.0 mechlab on PTR so far makes ui 1.5 mechlab look like a work of art.
fool me once, fool me twice, etc etc.
No more PGI.
Collisions, DFA, & destructible objects are STILL MISSING. You know how cool collisions is in war thunder? How the hell can you not program this stuff in 2013?
You need to break out the sweetness of UI 2.0 & CW right now.
Or watch the 3PV fiasco turn into a "minor incident" compared to the fiasco of epic fail this clan pack & your future as a business is liekly to be if you keep careening the vessle you call a business down this path.
Of course, maybe I am wrong. Maybe PGI is swimming in money, and these clan packs are FLYING off the shelves.
in which case, ignore me, as I join the other 90% of mechwarriors on our Island.

Colonel Pada Vinson joins us on our island and it is bitter-sweet. I'm experiencing the melancholy that a lot of evil overlords experiences when the white knight dies. GG, Pada.

I will give it a few more weeks. Maybe PGI will reveal some information that will restore your faith.

Wanted to rage one more time but you guys said it all.

It is an assumption that they will be broken and P2W which is what the other guy said will happen.

He mentioned neither of those things in his post. He mentioned that they were still in design and posted a link to support his claim.

I'm just saying, I get it... you want to go to bats for the direction of the game, but that kinda knee jerk reaction doesn't help your case.

There are legitimate feelings of dissatisfaction with how PGI is currently handling their game, and people who are involved, and really want to see it do well, are pointing out those flaws.

It's one thing to champion a game (I have as well) it's another thing to outright blind oneself to the possibility of flaws or errors. An analogy would be those who never say a bad word about the United States when it has issues as big as any other country (********, imperialism, colonialism, racism, etc etc)...

Anyhoo, not the point of the thread.

I am glad that it's being released, not glad that it's going for an insane amount. Come on PGI, I sprang for the founder's set even though they suck balls AS A SHOW OF SUPPORT I MUST ADD, the entire phoenix/reinforcement pack, and what the hell are you trying to do squeeze money out of my already broke hide without making the game more fun to play?

( And wtf I just noticed you do not have a crying face smiley on the forum. What the hell.)

What we need NOW are some explanations from PGI asap:

LOL this is like every other thread, the coolant gate, gen disc nuking, the premium for mercs debarcle, the 3rdPV shitstorm

they'll all be like this thread see no replies, simmer down at 200 so pages, and quietly put in the cupboard with the rest of the skeletons because PGI loves it's customers too much

i've kept up reading that SC thread, you know the one, i'm really glad i brought my overlord... because at this rate the Free Battlemasters will be washed up, i got my fill but yeah PGI has hijaked the IP because Microsoft let it happen, and that is the crucible of the battletech demise, Fasa saddly screwed up and MW has been a zombie of the dammed ever since... and it carries on. i hoped it wouldn't now being away from MS but nope... if anything it's getting far worse, hijacked to money grabbng death. still $80 for 18 months of meching again wasn't wasted i suppose. better than going full emotional ****** like some people i've laughingly read about... so attached, so deranged it's like reading characters from an hitchcock thriller.

Wow, dropship mode, that sounds really cool, I hope we can get that soon.



So now that it's December again, a year later, do you suppose we'll be getting all those new game modes? Maybe Dropship Mode will finally make its appearance, wouldn't that be cool.

Yes. We give them the cash now, they deliver a set of new Mech models in June, and then fold in July.

Or they take your money now, fold before June and never have to deliver.

Yes, that is the way of things, but I happen to like those employed by PGI/IGP.

I have my reasons, I feel they are doing well enough to have my continued support and all the flame that comes from it.

I'm one of those people that will show support long after the ship has sunk.

Because I'm that kind of guy, I don't see PGI as an evil entity.

I see the list of names in the employee lines of the credits.

Each person is doing what they can do give us entertainment.

They are Human, I am Human. Things come and go, deadlines come and go.

Will you turn your support away because you feel deceived, or will you stay fast and show them you care about their work?

Ryvucz, I respect your opinion. But would you drive a Ford Pinto just because it was humans who were doing their job designing and building it? No, you buy a car that won't get you killed. It's an extreme example but I think it's fitting. I have no personal animosity towards any of the people that work at PGI. But I'm not responsible for helping them keep their jobs. That is NOT a good reason buy and support a product. MWO no longer deserves our trust or our support. They have spent a year prioritizing all of the wrong things. We don't want more maps, we want more game styles. I think we would rather have the ability to play against our friends when we want, then get a few new mechs every couple of months. They made 3rd person view a priority OVER UI 2.0, which, if they had a competent programming team, would probably have been easier to design and implement.

It's just not worth it man, as much as we all love the universe.
