Granted ive all but moved on from MWO and dont really read the forums thoroughly every single day anymore, but i do come back to check up on it every now and than in the hopes that something has happened to give me a reason to come back.

So one thing ive been looking for for 2months; since their last AtD and their announcement that they are switching to a dev diary type of video format, is this new video AtD...where is it? I remember reading a couple weeks ago that "it will be done this week" but since then there has been no word on it.

Also another thing i would like to touch up on; I dont really want to bash on anyone but how is it that the last post our community manager has made was a month ago? I know he went on vacation for the second half of december but thats no excuse for no activity in the first half of the month.

I am aware Garth is a cool guy and i honestly do like him as a person but he's just a horrible community manager. The few posts he does make are mostly just "one of the guys/players" type of posts. Dont get me wrong, i love that he enjoys the game and plays it regularly, but i dont think thats really his job. Now, some people might have a different idea about what a CM should do, but i think their primary job is to be a link of communication between the devs and the community. To pass on devs thought processes and ideas to us and to pass ours to them (maybe he does this second part but he sure hides it well). To keep us up to date on the going ons, to avoid all the fires and community outbursts (yah we all know this isnt being done propperly) instead of trying to put them out after they have already started (which from what i can tell is being done by Russ not Garth). So in conclusion; Garth if you enjoy playing the game and being one of the guys AND are getting payed for it, well thats just awesome for you, but we as a community need more from you or from someone else if playing the game and being a cool dude is a full time job for you.

Cheers!

In the next 6 months

After UI 2.0 is released.

4 weeks after community warfare...

That was our position at the time...

Take your pick...

[RedDragon]

It's out there somewhere, making a party with UI 2.0 and Community Warfare, most likely getting drunk and having fun without us.

Rest assured, you will have an answer... in 2014.

It is 33.333333333333333% done according to the plan. The remaining 66.666666666666666% could take 6 hours or 600 hours because the plan does not indicate this.

[Mcgral18]

Well, I assume we'll have it shortly after they get back from the holiday break.

So, lets say by February.

This. Why put a % with no ETA. It is meaningless. It could sit at that number for months....or go up by 1% a month. Suddenly it is 100%...meaningless.

If we had Paul put up an ETA on when weapons are balanced, it's clearly 100%, despite NARC and Flamers being exclusively the best/worst troll weapons of 2013.

*complains devs don't interact*
*points out one question in the interaction*
*ignores the other 20 minutes of vlog*
*complains devs don't give the "right" answers*

Oh you mean the:

"what did you learn from making the latest map? (really? that was one of the big questions the community wanted to be answered?)

*unrecognizable ramble about things that no one wanted to know about*

"Will there be more unseen?"

"No...."

"Hows clantech gonna work?"

*simply repeats what was posted on the forums before*

This whole Vlog was a waste of time honestly and answered none of the questions that currently are burning on peoples minds. Instead we get the same wishy washy softcore "questions" that we had before the community was allowed to vote for the Devs QnA questions.

You do remember that sandpit? And the reason why people wanted to choose what questions are answered in QnA instead of PGI cherry picking?

Also i complained about the wrong questions sandpit, i didnt even used the word "answers"... but by now i should be used to you strawmanning things up

When they resort to strawman I know I've done my job
