edit: didn't know where else to put this one, sorry.

Hello PGI,

i want to try and put this as straight and honest as possible without sounding like a whining ***** or anything.
It's about a thing, that might seem like just a sentence or a link in a post about patchnotes, but to me it had some impact on how i perceived this post here:

http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__3053868

So, "what is it, that is like a sting in your arse about this post" you might think, here it is:

Quote

2014 and still no flying cars? Well at least the Clans are invading!


What about it?
Well, when i first read that, i was like "HOLY ****! CLANS ALLREADY THERE? INVASION? SOME EaRLY STUFF OF CW PERHAPS???"
then i clicked the link and... well... you know where it took me, and you pretty much know yourself, what else is in those patchnotes to read about clans and invasions.

This patch has absolutly NOTHING to do with any clans invading anywhere, be it the inner sphere or somewhere else, therefor this sentence does not belong into those patchnotes IMO.

Why is that?
Easy, it rises expectations when you read it and then, when you read on, those expectations are immediatly wiped out and what stays is "oh, another try to grab my money".
Don't get me wrong on that one, i know, gaming is business after all, but look at all the negative press PGI and MWO allready got. Look at how negative the community reacts to every single this or that. Sure, every community in every game is raging about certain things, but in my perception it is really extreme within MWO Forums and this has to be for a reason.

I hope you can understand what i try to say, maybe i am even the only guy who reacted like this to that post, maybe i am not, i don't know.
I probably won't play during this patch cycle, as i did not play during the last one.
Good Luck PGI

edit2: Pretty much the same goes for the stuff about the c-bill-billionaire. It doesn't have ANYTHING to do with a PATCH, so it shouldn't be in the PATCHnotes IMO.

edit: sorry, maybe some overreaction at first, but still.
Nice move, once again. I just love it when threads get moved to corners of the forums like there to shut them up without deleting them.

Seriously, is the only way to get your feedback beeing read by devs to whine, rage and whatnot? I tried it in a way as positive as possible and i get this. When i rage about something, it just stays where it is without any reaction.

What kind of Feedback do you want PGI?

To be honest: I don't know why this thread got moved here.

Where did you post it originaly?

I wouldn't mind, if you put that post to the patch announcement thread. We have worse there.

i've put a link in there.
It was in the patch feedback section - yup probably the wrong one and yet not even a notification by the mod who moved it. Which is another thing: Moving or deleting topics without any notification at all seems to aim for shutting people up without anyone noticing, maybe not even themselves.

I didn't post it in the announcement thread at first, because i got randomaly logged off the forums again and didn't notice it, so it said "you can't post here" or something like that.

I send them feedback when I run into issues - and I get a fair response back.

It probably helps that I neither kiss their *** like Helljumper thinks they want, nor cuss them out like Helljumper seems to want to.

Feedback such as:

Got stuck in Terra Therma A-7 on the boxes there while moving aprox 80kph in my hunchback.
I was headed toward A-6/B-6 corner.
My ping was 120-130 at the time, and there were no other mechs in the area I was aware of.
I can give my mechs loadout or other information if needed (because you never know)
(NOTE: the above is a hypothetical situation)


You know: feedback that helps them locate the issue and solve it, as opposed to the:
"OMG GOT STUCK THIS GAME SUXORS"
Or:
"CANNOT HIT SPIDERS PGI SUXORS! WHY DONT YOU FIX THE DAMN GAME!!!!"
That floods the feedback forum.

Edit: added info to the hunchback scenario

which is totally not was i was doing. And tbh, THOSE threads and posts do NOT end up here, so it seems like they are welcome. Maybe i should give it a try.

Never said (or rather had not meant to say) you were. ;)

More trying to counter sir Helljumper's kneejerk - perhaps I should have quoted him instead, and for that I appologize
