LOL. Yeah, the same way they ''fudged'' the launch dates of Community Warefare ... initially January 2013, now "Fall 2014" (as if anyone puts any stock in that date, either). Same as they ''fudged'' the launch date of UI2.0, and same as they "fudged" their commitment that "noone would ever be forced to play with people using 3PV", and, and, and...

With that much fudge, they should be making confectionery, not software.

The funniest thing about this argument is: I doubt even PGI know what they're going to do in advance anymore. They have no grand plan that they're working to, they are mostly just making it up as they go along at this point, churning out chassis and bobble heads and putting them on sale relentlessly to keep the cash flow up.

Therefore: clinging to whatever grandiose pronouncements they made last week, last month or two years ago, and quoting them as if they were ever bibliographically accurate sources, let alone continue to be "the plan", is simply hilarious.

I desperately want this game to succeed. I'm frustrated as hell with the continual changes to design and (de)commitments about its future end state, and the glacial pace of progress towards achieving any defined end state.

The gap between the vision which the developers espouse(d) for the game, and what's actually delivered, just continues to widen.

Yeah, for some reason I thought the thread was about what the 45 ton mech was going to be, not just what the next mech was.

If we do see the Vindicator, there will be some happy Liao players.

Like wise, but I knew it was a long shot. I was then hoping that the next mech was at least the Wyvern.

It was about both, at least that's what the thread title indicated with 'next mech' and '45-tons'. Besides we're all anxious to know what's coming out, even if they told us what every mech coming from now to December was, we'd just start speculating on what we'd see in 2015.

Good thing Russ couldn't hold it in any longer, or you'd have passed out any moment.

The Wyvern can be a good looking mech in the hands of Flying Debris.

Agreed, the Wyvern would look great and I really wanted the Wyvern over the Vindicator. The Vindicator to me looks like a pint sized Highlander. Probably because it looks so boxy like the Highlander in almost every way.

TT usefulness does not equal MW:O usefulness.

45 tonner with at least 2 Energy HP and a couple Missile HPs for Streaks and PPCs... I don't see this coming in as a fail.

I don't think it would be better than a Blackjack. Symmetrical HPs and direct fire weapons are hard to beat.

The Vindicator entry on sarna.net really shows the difference between BT and MW:O, "[color=#000000]Unfortunately speed is no substitute for armor on the modern battlefield". Yeah right! [/color]
