All i know is, i've played 8 matches in 3 and a half months because of the horrible development of the game. i am massively disappointed. and will NOT return unless they get their heads back on straight. PGI's record thus far has been horrid. and they clearly haven't improved. I invested 120 dollars into a game i love the mechanics and basis of, but can't play enjoyably because their too busy adding content to fix preexisting issues. It's to the point now, that if PGI doesn't have some of the major bugs fixed in the patch following the one on the 23rd, I WILL uninstall and never look back. I'm fed up, Sick and tired of the money grubbing content push that they've done since closed beta. major bugs fixed since closed beta? 5 maybe? major bugs created due to pushing content in hopes of increasing MC sales? Countless.
I want more content just as much as the next guy. But it's not worth releasing content for a game that is only being half assed by the development team. Memory leak from closed beta STILL exists. 90 days after open beta launch, most of us screamed this game was FAR from ready for open beta. most new come'rs leave within an hour or two of playing. i've played thousands of matches in closed beta, but will not commit that kind of time to this game with this dev team. Even if 6 months a year later they finally have it worked out. There's other games out there. bigger and better adventures with dev teams that DO what is needed to provide a stable client, not holding their hands out saying MORE MORE MORE. A lot of us have paid twice the price of a retail game for this. and this is the product we get in return after being playable for so long? As far as im concerned at this moment in time, they need to fire their entire dev team and hire in some rookies straight out of school, i can promise you they'd more than likely be a hundred fold more productive in the foundation and development of a working game, then milking their players for all they can before said product is even live. Again PGI. You've lost my respect, You've lost me as a source of income and you've lost 2 other people in my house hold from being paying players as well. And those are just the people I can personally speak for. Not to mention the hundreds or thousands of other players who feel and see things as i do. PGI you need to man up or sit down and shut the heck up. because you've destroyed one major love in many of our lives with your greed.

only read the first line or so of your post...

how can you make any judgement based of little to no gameplay?

8 matches in 3.5 months is not enough to have an informed opinion. The game has a steep learning curve (which is an issue), playing that little will leave you well behind the curve. If you played more before, you've probably lost your mojo.

Game has issues, no one denies that. But it is still really fun.

I think you just made me watch 3 people die.

I view making a game rather similar to building a house. You've got to get all the framework in before you start making it look nice. Right now, they are throwing in content as best they can, testing it to make sure the content isn't making new bugs, then adding in more, and watching for new bugs. Once the framework is all done, then they'll start doing some heavy tweaking to the content and make sure it all meshes well together. Put up the framework before you put up the wallpaper.

That said, do I support how much money they're asking for their stuff right now? Not a chance. It's VERY over priced on almost everything, where a single new mech can cost the same price as a full retail game, and don't even get me started on the paint and vanity item costs.

Ultimately though, do I enjoy the game? Yes. Very much so. Do I agree with the devs list of priorities? No. Do I support the devs? Yes.

If you want to see a crap beta, go play WarZ for a week. This is fantastic here.

I spent 30 bucks on this game and have gotten more than my money's worth. Just sayin'

Surprisingly enough, they all lived. Can't wait until that kind of scene can be replicated in MWO though.

[TheShadowWalker]

I just want to point out, there are 2 other people in my house hold that play daily. i'm well aware of what the current state of the game. and they agree with me. one of them is sitting next to me playing as i type this. Secondly when 3 out of those 8 games i get stuck with the 4fps memory leak, it clearly shows how far the dev team has come along. Yeah i lost a bit of my edge but look at the ECM, they pushed it so hard and now it's too over powering. Cover with AMS is a strong counter for LRM's and, While i agree that ECM is an important part of the TT and lore, they need to tone it down to realistic values. Again, 8 games in 3.5 months personally but watching daily 2 people raging because of the bugs still existing and it being this long into the development. I think everything i stated was VERY well informed. as for the first reply, Read the entire message and you might understand the poll and what my point is, don't be biased on what you believe is an absolute fact by the first sentence. or not, i really don't care. this was meant to be a reality check for the community and the dev team.

they lived? Must have been the extra padding.

After playing 250 or so games in four days I have to disagree with your assessment. Are there bugs in the game, sure. Are there some things out of balance, of course. Is it fun, hell friggin yes! I am having a great time playing this game. Sure the raven packs are bs but I run into those maybe three or so times a day. I've seen at least three of these topics pop up on the forums a day it seems. The bottom line is no one is forcing you to play or making you pay money. If you don't want to then by all means don't. Everyone has a choice, and if you've made yours then why continue to try and make everyone else as miserable as you seem to be?

[Kraven Kor]

I may agree on some points, I may not.

But I stopped reading when it devolved into "PGI sucks."

"This is an issue and has continued to be an issue..." fine.

"... because PGI is terrible." NOT. FINE.

But, yes, I'm probably an ******* too.

The game has a shallow learning curve! The more you know....
