Sorry man, I was a regular contributor, bought MC just because to support the game, not just because some new mech pack came out.

This isn't the game I was supporting.

Good then it's agreed. They didn't make the game you wanted. It's a shame, because I would have liked your game better.

Alas, they don't have the expertise or manpower to deliver on the awesome MWO game everyone wants on time. It might even take another few years. Perhaps we can laugh about it in 2016.

I just think that hankering them down every time they make a move is detrimental to the project. I bet you they're afraid to make *any* move now, since it's always met with overly-harsh criticism on these forums.

Seriously, this game company is a lot more honest then many of the other companies you deal with in your lifetime. Think about how much money your financial institutions have skimmed from your hard earned income. And you're supposed to be doing them a favor by lending them your money !

Spoiler

1/10th? they must have promised you some extra stuff; No i didn't buy a gold mech.

maps and mechs are game development, anything developed for the game or in the game is game development. it just refers to the finishing of content.




Roadmap

Dec 17^th – This patch you’re quite familiar with but it’s a pretty good one and the best in a while. New Skirmish game mode, release of Sabre `Mechs and the release of the Moon map HPG Manifold. I hope this will give players some interest during the holiday break.

Jan 21^st – Cockpit Glass.-------recieved complaints and hacks it was done in such a fasion, devs had to readjust to make it work, now conceding it as a toggle off with film grain

UI along with some new screens with the store and some others. A lot of feedback has been implemented to improve MechLab and future releases will include a lot of user feedback integration. Overall UI 2.0 on February 4^th is an absolutely MASSIVE feature release, bigger than anything to date. I don’t say that purely based on functionality that UI 2.0 will introduce to MWO. The reason it is considered in my mind the biggest feature release to date is because of the bottlenecks it removes. Everything relied on its release and back end architecture to build off of.------ still missing many features still awfull navigation

Feb 4^th – Tier 1 weapon modules – Further explanation forthcoming in a Command Chair post later this week.-------check, weapons, to be further worked on.

Feb 4^th – Assault mode refresh/improvements – Includes new Base model to replace the resource collector for a Forward Operating Base truck with the additions of turrets. Helps differentiate it from other modes like Conquest.------ one building replaces another turrets came out OP so they got health nerfed will proberbly be tweaked again and again

March 4^th – DX11 – it has been complete essentially since the last Public test but we have waited to get the Christmas break and UI 2.0 behind us before releasing. Some further exploration into FPS concerns before release. It is possible upon release some will use DX 11 where others will stick with DX9 for frame rate concerns while we continue to optimize it.------- released in such a shape few people could adapt it, is still in need of optomising, hasn't added anything to the game other than just another bug to fix

March 18^th – Achievement System.-Check, just a added feature but it was cool, continued progress.

April 1-April 15^th – Launch Module – in depth description already in a command chair post.---- in what condition though? probebrly in a horrible navigation matrix making solo launch more popular just like ui.2 mechlab made smurfy more popular

June 17^th – Clan Invasion.----they're still trying to figure out how weapons work after 4 months of ummms and arrrrs, we know what 2 mechs look like and one's made from lego. god knows what you're getting with bonus modules. warhorns will drown out matches like a dozen heavymetals on the field and god knows what factions will mean as clan banners are no-where in sight. no working examples of equipment like target computers and omnipod functionality to be seen and you think it'll all suddenly happen in 2 months? lol join the loyalty points brigade.


Conservative Estimates:-this
- Association: July-Aug-this
- Planetary Conquest: Sept-Oct---and this are all we need left and this game will have fulfilled what i set out to do. forget 2012-2013(late 2013 saw the first bit of real progress but not much) yeah forget they screwed around for a whole year to stomp bugs add modules mechs maps and make some new score screens whilst yanking the playerbase chain about no 3pv no coolant and CW deadlines which they still haven't started since first stating it would turn up in game for dec 2012. you're willing to be ignorant of this dire mismangement is at your own peril.

so you're the type of person who excepts anything in whatever state it's brought in.

gullable - check.

Some of those were very important, they are all leading up to CW.

I dont care about 2-3 years ago and before anybody says anything i was here for OB.

The point was that they set dates and met them; Yet some refuse to acknowledge that.

they still want to hold them against promises made years ago, yet are still playing the game. like i said, they hit dates and im not gonna take anything away from them for doing so. I was mad awhile ago when these things were not in the game but its like i said, that was years ago.

its simple realy

If they didn't keep the promises in the past, they are going to keep them in the future?

Frankly the way PGI has always been and still is gives me the chills thinking about CW

it'll probably be what cockpit glass was supposed to be when it was first mentioned:

cockpit glass was supposed to be part of the damage effect, more damage -> more fractures on the glass, maybe even some air venting out on maps like Manifold

now its just dirt sitting on the glass

CW is probably going to be pushed back a little time again cuz of some small bug, but they want it to be perfect
and when they implement it we will wonder what took them so long

just like the UI 2.0, they should've just hired the guy from smurfy
I mean we get to a smurfy layout (in 2 steps yay) only because people like me complain enough about it


of course I don't want to be right on all this
I want PGI to come around saying F**k U, we had this great stuff just lying around here and now you get it all at once, enjoy

its just they dropped the ball so many times
I play it for free now, but throwing money down the drain again, I don't know, for some yellowish paint?



That low res is what I get for 500$?
in 2014, for 500$

I'd rather throw out my GTX 780, and buy me a 780ti

[IceCase88]

Why pay $500 for a gold painted mech when I can just have...?



Earl Scheib can paint any mech any color for just $89.99! This just wreaks of late night infomercial desperation. These guys might do a better job selling them for you...



or



You guys are just inviting ridicule in all honesty. Especially with the anti-climatic way you are rolling the Clans out and your talk of how they are going to be implemented into the game. It could've been grand and exciting. However, it is anything but that. You have given me many reasons to be pessimistic
and I have been salty for only a short time.

I like when PGI doesn't screw things up. I like being able to give them kudos. Like the Adder, it is a well done, pretty 'Mech. That was a good thing and I said as much. People who bitched about the fixed flamer are dolts and I told them so. I want to praise PGI. I want to praise them so much. There a forums full of things they could do that would be praise worthy.

Don't worry, PGI. Be happy. Read the forums in small doses and consider what we have to say.

LOL -- ROFL -- LMFAO -- My apologies. I'm just thinking of anyone foolish enough to spend $500 on a single "Gold Mech". Hey, it's their money and everyone can spend their dough on whatever they so choose. What a months pay to one could be a days worth, or even less to another. I just can't help but think of how atrocious this is. I truly hope anyone foolish, errr foolish isn't right... let's just say I hope they contribute to society, their community, township, etc. first along with this type of blasphemous purchase.

Cheers to the insta-targets!

[Iqfish]

Except from the weird look, the resolution is way too low.
Again, if I would have spend 500$ on this, I would have been disappointed.

They set so many dates that it became a joke. I spose they had to hit ONE finally.

Yeah, let's just forget everything before that and only focus on the last date they managed to fumble through. Hey look! They kept their promises... see?!

They knew their balls were in a vice. UI1.5 was rushed through with bugs and still unfinished, all for the sake of appearances... Cos they knew the joke they'd become regarding announced dates and to miss these ones would be that final turn in that proverbial vice.

Expect more "content" to be released "on time" from now on with huge caveats attached to them.

[ColdHeat]

Piloting one of these mechs will be comparable to wearing a dunce cap. You instantly get recognized as one who doesn't seem to be quite all here and will face a lot of mockery. Rightfully so

The others are Quake (1996), Deus Ex (2000), and Fallout (the whole series really but Fallout (1997) and Fallout 3 (2008) are my personal favorites)

Oh on a side not I've started rereading the Battletech novels that I bought about 15 or so years ago.
I've got 48! Currently reading Mercenary's Star which is about the merc company known as the Grey Death Legion.

Oh God. Why there are not girls like you... :/

[Thell]

I will probably laugh myself into a coma if SC turns out to be junk since the sheep are praising that now. As for all of you swearing that you will TK anyone in a gold mech, grow up.

like i said, 2012vs2014. I cant see how you can be mad at missed dates from years ago but ignore the progress/dates this year that they hit. It just doesn't make any sense.

UI 2.0,why are we talking about 1.5,+ they are making an interactive version. That is a really lame attitude to have. Would it matter if CW comes out?, you guys are still gonna be talking about 2012-13.

I still think it's goofy to put an alleged "only x number of things" on a digital good that you can copy as many times as you want, but I realize it's just a marketing ploy in this context

It's no sillier than limited edition prints of artworks. Andreas Gursky could print loads more copies of his photo Reine II, but then it wouldn't be a limited edition and it wouldn't have sold for $4.3million! The value is in the limited supply.

It's 2014, what could we possibly have to learn from 1936... DERP
