I can't remember the name of that novel, it may be one of The Twilight of the Clans series. There was one competition between IS forces and Clan forces, and the way to balance it was 5 Inner Sphere mechs vs 4 Clan mechs.

Kinda like asking where my Uziel is... still on the drawing board somewhere... or a figment of someone's wild imagination either way... play with what's available and have fun

That's why the timeline needs to go.

NO

MWO has advertised for years that this is the 3050 timeline, look up the tute vid on the launch screen and here. PGI can't afford to falsely advertise {again if you count the changes to 3pv} about the game. we're doing operation revival clan invasion 3050 and that's final.

do you want CW to look like this?


exactly. SJ fans will hunt you. and wobbies aren't wanted.

Well, i am not sure about how PGI is going to nerf those Clan UAC/5s..

halve ammo, double heat, ghost heat, they may even add reticle shake after you let a burst off {could apply to all ac fire if they recognise the ac hate threads. so it'll happen in eight months time if the JJ hate recognition is anything to go by.}

nope. take away the timeline, and you lose a good limiter on what kinds of tech is available to the player. I wouldn't mind having the later armor types, or the Void Signature System, but the timeline makes it easier to balance out new weapons, mechs, and technology than if there was no timeline to adhere to, and you just dumped everything in at once.

Yes because having more content is game breaking and bad... Fine lets just keep what we have and stop adding mechs... Sound good?

Adding more mechs does not break the timeline as long as you get your little lore battles I'll be content with my Mad Cat Mk II. Also it's already confirmed they will add Prototype Mechs to keep in timeline but realse all the mechs a lot of us love. It's win win... Besides you showed me a map... That has nothing to do with robots...

Dude it gets old to hear lore warriors constantly complain about getting content. Getting all the mechs in the game doesn't break lore to me. We are going to have the invasion. The map timeline won't change. We will just have all the cool mechs in the best period of BT. I see nothing wrong with that. Please remember it has been stated since day one that this game is an interpretation of BT and will use the TT rules as best as it can, while keeping the game fun and full of "new content" that people like me and the OP want.

Quit using lore as an excuse... It won't hurt the game or the time period to add "prototype" mechs.

nothing your saying is accurate. Your fear that they will stop introducing Mechs is unfounded. There are plenty still to add. But keep belittling people....really helps identify the trolls from the people who like to have reasonable discussions. Also makes it much easier to know who to use the forum /ignore feature on.

Never said I have a fear about them not releasing mechs, but I'm not going to wait 16 years for a Mad Cat MK II. Who is doing the belittling here honestly? The guy who wants all the mechs and have the story progress so we can see it all. Or the people who cry it's lore breaking because a chassie is released?

Ignore me if you want I really don't care. Just saying kinda calling the kettle black aren't you?

and you're trolling the game design. want heavy lasers and light gauss rifles too? Tbolt missles RACs to go with you're completely out of ballance 3060's tech mechs? seriously the devs are struggling with clan tech let alone starleauge era and later clan tech.

the last thing this game needs is is all our 3050's stuff thrown out the window for 3060's material. i do not want lasers ssrms etc going the way of the SHS thankyou very much.

https://twitter.com/...325716682158080

oh and bryan's refering to mechs like the mauler or bushwacker. the mauler which can only be in MWO with 3 varients, one being an off fiction design and the others will be a few years ahead, not a whole ******* decade.

for sure i'd love an bloodasp and novacat but this is MWO 3050 clan invasion, i didn't troll micropose and pester them to provide 3070s+ stuff for my dream MW3 and niether should you hound PGI devs to break what they've advertised for years, you want them to commit fraud!?

i've excepted what the game will provide why don't you?

Money talks man... funny how you know what Bryan means when in my question I said 16 years. Really sad that people like you hold this game back for some precious IS tech. Your opinion is yours to have. The more mechs the more money they will get.

Besides like the clan stuff they will nerf it and I'm fine with that. I want my Mad Cat MK II to go with the gold Timberwolf I'll have.

The timeline is already off, this is an interpretation why can you accept that? I'm going to assume you were part of the anti 3rd person movement...y/n? I accept the game and the changes they make. You on the other hand keep throwing lore and so called promise. Provide me proof of where this only 3050 era... Don't worry I'll wait...

They already threw too much of the lore out of the window. Seriously, they keep calling this a MechWarrior game but they must respect this venerable franchise.

Besides all the balance issues which would come with a later era's weapons (seriously? Heavy Gauss, RACs, Heavy lasers...) they chose to set the game in the early Clan invasion era and i see no reason to change it. I am content with the 'Mechs we can have. I love the Mad Cat MK.II, but there are already many and many 'Mechs they could add , both IS and Clan 'Mechs, so they will have for sure their chances to get more money.

I could accept better a prototype of a 'Mech coming around 3053 or little later, but 16 years is too much.

That said, if you want all the 'Mechs is one game, there is MW4. If you want a game with no universe behind it and no strict rules to abide to, there are Hawken and all the other F2P games you might want to play. I am glad to see you are a strong supporter of MWO but i feel i am more a supporter of the Battletech Universe and the MechWarrior franchise as a whole.

EDIT: i think you have chosen the wrong forums to find supporters, quiaff?

There are about 30 to 40 'Mechs in the current timeline that aren't in MWO yet. So why jump ahead?
