It is possible that the reason is that our whin-o-meters simply outshines his.

Not possible, i clearly am a bigger whinger

Pug Behavior

Solving Behavior Problems

Pug behavior and associated issues is a constant topic among Pug owners. There are some people who say that this breed is harder to train because they seem a little stubborn...

PGI annoys me with their inability to see that every fan created piece of content is free advertisement.

If I were in charge for the social media stuff and/or the community manager, I would be posting the videos, screenshots, fan fiction and league info everywhere I can.

Seriously, the MWO Facebook page has 80k likes and the posts there get up to 80 likes max.
The only stuff they post there is their own content or content that they paid for.

Why does this company not realize that they can only benefit from Fan content?

If its bad, dont share it. If its good, share it and tell people its fan made. Heck, are they that rich that they dont need to care about getting new people into the game?!

Excellent job on the "This is Mechwarrior Online" video, btw.

Thanks. You know, I got used to them mostly ignoring all the fan stuff, including work that me or the TMC in general put lots of work into but that video is NOTHING but a free advertisement of their game.
It was designed to be EXACTLY THAT. I try to get people motivated to populate the comp. scene more.

This is 100% what PGI wants and normally companies pay MONEY to get that advertisement.

Sorry for the caps and the rant but I cannot possibly wrap my head around why on earth any company would act THAT way.

Hey Iqfish did you PM Tina about your video? Or maybe try to get in touch with the No Guts No Galaxy folks? I asked Tina if she could put the writing contest I started up on their social media and it was up there a few days later.

I got in touch with Tina, banditb17 got in touch with tina, the NGNG folks helped us. At least they understand the value of fan content.

And this is not about me, nor about this single video. It's the attitude that needs to change. These guys are not EA with infinite pockets and they are not CIG with a giant army of loyal fanboys. They need every second of advertisement they get.

Edit: okay to be fair, Tina helped us a lot making this video possible. But I have been having these discussions and non-read Personal messages since the dark age of early open beta and it has not changed. We have had 3 Community managers and it was always the same. Tina is the most helpful, I give her that.

Edit2: Apparently i am a terribly impatient human being and should be ashamed. I am sorry, i will go to the shame on you corner now and remain silent.

pgi and new players there needs to be more of a dynamic there, i feel like a social worker some times turning up to check that pgi is taking care of its children (the new players) only to find the parents watching tv smoking away while the kids run riot doing what ever they want and pgi just go meh, as a parent you have a responsibility to raise your kids with the necessary skills to get buy/do well in life.

if you know bad parents you'll know that their kids can be hard work to be around they don't listen they screw up and then give you abuse as if its your fault despite telling them multiple times not too do something stupid.

but hey they're kids after all they're only as good as you raise them and right now its falling to the responsible adults that know pgi (the experienced players) to look after the kids for them because they're too busy doing stuff

we got to teach them team work, good load outs and how to stay alive pgi just says here's a movement tutorial great now you can walk heres 4 mech bays beat it

whine over thanks xxxx

populate the comp. scene....
the problem is that the best things for balance are things the comp scene. would never want to have.
full customization is one of it, the terrible hardpoint inflation the other one.
fix both and we have some sort of auto-balance.

now who would ever get PGI to do that sort of limitation if not the comp scene? BUT then you cant boat lasers like stupid anymore... or boat anything at all anymore.

[Sarlic]

If the Atlas is getting shafted again in the next re-balance. I am going to quit (temporary or not) this game.

Obviously if PGI cant think; the Atlas has to sacrifice firepower, cooling and even critical slots to to compete with other mechs. New players and vets struggling.

Stock STD300 is outdated. The horrible pitch/y angle and cockpitangle is already despressing enough.

I gave them enough chances. They screwed the Atlas twice. I can handle two times, but i can't handle a third time.

Curious what they come up with.

I feel for you. The Atlas is such an iconic mech, it deserves to be a top tier chassis. I hope the new balance pass helps them out, and a lot of other mechs that no one uses anymore (cough...commandos).

it wont. all the top mechs have a massive hardpoint inflation to boat stuff.
or some serious overquirkings but that should never be the way to go.

there lies the complete damnation of this game

Yeah, it would be awesome if mixed loadouts worked well in this game, like most of the stock BT loadouts.

I can't find a gif with the proper hug I would like to give you after reading that comment.

Never have I seen a post explain so eloquently what playing with rambo pugs is like.
