Well, I did actually find it funny.


I straight away imagined a t-shirt with an island in the distance with 1 guy on it, its russ and he is yelling out "Your on an island!!!" with maybe him also face-palming as if everyone else is a fool.

That did make me laugh.

No offence to russ ofc.........it was just the first thing that came to my head when I read that is all.

(hell maybe even russ meant it like that, a crack at himself that is, which i would respect a bit more than if it was the other way i guess........tho I haven't heard the interview yet......)

That would be funny if it appear on the NGNG store.

Anything from Bryan or Russ should be taken with a grain of salt IMO.

This. Simply can be bothered getting remotely excited about anything these guys say any more.

Thanks Pieper for the summary !

Sadly, not a word on the actual MM and the quality of matchs currently in the gutter. Maybe tonnage limit will do something but I'm not optimist.

Wait and see !

[John MatriX82]

as usual thanks Peiper to write this down for lazy ones like me that don't want to waste an hour listening to an interview!

Irrespective of what you might want to believe, most of us you consider NOPE-ers hope you are right and that PGI is learning from its mistakes. Allow us, however, to also remain skeptical.

Absolutely! I have no problem with being skeptical and I remain so myself despite my optimism. The complete negativity from some people every time, all the time, just gets old.

[CeeKay Boques]

Thanks for this lay out. High hopes...again.

Russ, you can't use your love a chassis as a basis for choosing a faction...!!

[Banshee Bullet]

Thanks a lot for the summary

As to the actual content - blech

"yes after a year of delays we're finally implementing UI 2.0! But don't worry, it won't have most of the features everyone wants"
That's how I read it anyway.

When asked if a locust would be able to capture the new bases his response was "I haven't played enough to know" meaning either he hasn't played the locust enough to know what kind of damage it can take, or he hasn't gone up against the new bases and doesn't know how formidable they are. I'm guessing it's both. In which case his claim that when someone calls a mech ****** he feels compelled to play that mech and prove them wrong is ********. Honestly, what mech is shittier than the locust? I'm starting to rant here so I'll quit before it gets out of hand.


Oh and you SHOULD be worried about organized 12 mans facing pug 12s. The top tier of competitve teams in mwo (about 5-10 groups) are only ever challenged by each other. They already faceroll every other organized 12 man out there. Now imagine those top tier teams against pug 12s... it's gonna be ridiculous. I can already hear cries "haxxorz!" and "aim-bots!"

Understand now, they aren't using an aim-bot to headshot you every match- some of these guys have been playing hours a day every single day for over a year and now they're just that good.

Thanks OP for the summary.

I hear some things I really like.

[Agent 0 Fortune]

Thanks Pieper.

This podcast is the definition of irony:
Some high ELO players cannot find matches. Solution, reset ELO.
We want more input and interaction with the player base: A player base other than those currently on the MWO forums.

PGI is putting all their eggs in UI2.0/Lobby/Weight Restriction basket, I hope it is the panacea they expect.

17:30 Russ and Phil talk mention stuff like steam/heat waves/blackouts in the cockpit. Do we as players want that level of immersion, or would that just annoy people. [toggle on/off would be my answer! -Peiper]

19:20 Russ suggests if we want stuff like cockpit effects, teary eyes, sparks, whatever start a poll or comment in the MWO forums about it and they'll listen.

This is a joke, right? There are literally a thousand threads and polls about this, starting in Closed Beta until now.

No it's not a joke they want to know our opinion so they can do the opposite.

The Haiku syllables are off.

Also, we can't say "Why doesn't PGI communicate with us??" and then say "Only speak with action".

Did you use SRMS during the Public Test? I bet you didn't!



They are pretty deadly... there are some non registers here and there but they are still a good weapon

I would say leave the forums if you've left the game, but I've seen you playing, so.

Why is everything about what UI2.0 does pretty vague except the fact they they won't have to flip the servers on and off to add things to the store or start sales?

That is because in a recent state of the game address, Russ admitted that the didn't have the MechWarrior licence past 2015 so they could not justify putting resources in a feature with no guarantee they would still be running MW past 2015. The horrible thing is that they have been telling us that they have been working on it since closed beta and it was even a selling point featured to hype the sale of the Founders Packages back in 2012.

It was not a selling point for the founders

[Werewolf486 ScorpS]

Wait and see! Maybe Russ has changed his tune since he got Microsoft to sign the contract extension, but I'm not holding my breath on it. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! A second time shall not happen as I have no trust in Russ or PGI.

[ZealotTheFallen]

Come March Titanfall will be out on xbox one a true mechwarrior type game and the 75 awards so far make it look like the game to play. Trully I see many dissapointed people and the smug arrogant Russ, who is so disrespectful and still putting up verbal smoke screens and mirrors. DO something, instead of throwing {Scrap} out that doesn't work and running your lying mouth. Prove me and the rest that lost all respect for you wrong, bet you wont Thanks
