Whine for today

Second rate FPS developers that can't make a game on time without massive bugs, boring meta, and instability, eighteen months behind schedule, that somehow think making another game and diversifying manpower further, by making another title they'll suck at, is a really great idea,

When the only reason 50-75% of the people are playing the first, is because its the ONLY title of the universe that isn't a wasteland.

While I'm not going to insult them directly with fears of getting myself banned like other long-time forum goers, I have to say I kind of agree with you on most points.

I have no idea why they think making a space sim is the right direction to go in when they can't seem to get this game under control, let alone when Chris Roberts is raking in the dough for Star Citizen.

They're not going to be able to compete and they just don't see that. I absolutely smell misappropriation of funds from this game.

We're not getting dropships.

We're not getting 12v10.

We're never going to have balance with weapons, only continous nerfs and ridiculous ghost heat.

We're most likely going to be stuck in the same and only two game-modes till the end of time.

Read Niko's post today. CW is the "last main feature" of the game. Russ already said we're not getting 12v10. I doubt we'll get any other game modes let alone drop ships. They haven't talked about ANYTHING new in a long time, except for their new game they're now working on.

The MWO dev team is shrinking also because they're funneling people to the new project. Don't expect much.

Okay, so that's partly conjecture. I know for a fact they are still working on attack/defend so far. CW is receiving plenty of updates, and will keep getting upgraded for a while, with other things being added into it (this was from the town hall video).

I hate that 10 v 12 isn't coming, but I expected it. You can't have balanced clan mechs, and still make 10 v 12 fair. To implement 10 v 12, clan mechs would need to be more powerful than IS mechs, which means that the mistakes made with all of the previous MW games will be repeated here, and everyone will stop using anything that isn't clan or mix tech mechs.

Yeah, it's partially conjecture, but from their track record and comments about how things would be "too hard to implement" or how it would mess with the matchmaker or whatever and they'd have to rewrite the whole thing, I wouldn't expect to see a dropship mode.

That's just my two cents and prophesizing though.

I can see your point. I hope it doesn't come to pass, but I definitely see, and understand where you're coming from.

The Dropship mode was killed a while ago by IGP as being 'too expensive to develop'. IGP no longer is in the picture so maybe this is back on the menu. Russ did announce last night that CW will be coming with a new game mode. This might be Attack Defend, or it might be something else... we don't know yet.

No! And may they never be! I hate Skirmish mode for a reason: no strategy and if I wanted to play Rock Em Sock Em Robots, I'd buy one at a yard sale. Blarg No!

The only thing worse than Skirmish is Derptown Skirmish on Terra Derpa... in the PuG Zapper... at Mount Derp.

That would be "A Short Violent Life in the Derptown Skirmish on Terra Derpa in the PUG Zapper at Mount Derp"

Dunno. That'd be a tough name to put on tee shirts. Maybe you should call it "Derptown Skirmisher" and film it Bollywood style.




...Oh... and you're weird. I like that.
