PGI couldn't organize s.e.x. in a brothel.
How can you guys get any real feedback from a test by a couple of hundred players in less than half a day when most of the testing was waiting for a game?
Now we have a Dev making excuses about small team, small amount of players willing to test and other things.
Editing config files, really? thats how you handle a simple switch?
Seriously PGI you guys arent upto playing with the big boys.
One thing really worries me tho, where are you guys going to get a job after you put MWO in youre resume in the near future.

If patch like this repeat once more, there will be no player remain
(PS if someone still play it)

@Nikolai Lubkiewicz;

Not complaining about the technical issues, it's a big change and stuff happens. However, for those of us with premium time going, can we get that day back? For those of us who plowed in with the hope of 3/3/3/3 and Elo tiers being amazing (which they were! Oh, such a brief taste of joy....) it's kinda a frustrating setback.

Understandable if you don't want to do something that could be seen as setting an unreasonable precedent, I read the forums often enough to know how even the vague discussion of giving an inch is often later representing as having promised the Louisiana Purchase and then LYING ABOUT IT!!!!

However, for a lot of us 3/3/3/3 has been a big deal. The biggest deal in MW:O since closed beta become open beta in a lot of ways. A bigger deal than the Clans, or anything like that. It's what's got us excited to play and it's had some bumps out of the gate. That's cool, it's worth waiting for. Would be nice to get that time back though.

Oh, and in case you hadn't seen literally every other post I've written in the forums today....

thanks for the ability to turn film grain and stuff off. I've been wanting that since mocking Justin Beiber put me in the minority, not the majority. All due props.

Private matches could easily be used to farm CBills, XP and achievements, by having the opposing team stand still and not fire on you.

^^Spot on! Anyone wanting rewards in private matches is going to have to complain to EA who put this in back in what... Battlefield 2? Hahaha! Come on now, we all know that their would be 100mil Cbill accounts after a week if this wasn't outlawed.

It's a free to play game, it's a relatively common occurrence for players to have alt/dummy accounts.

This would allow players to not sacrifice their KDR or W/L to farm in this manner.

I'm not sure if you can start a second client at the same time as the initial one, but a second pc/laptop or a vm sidesteps that issue entirely.

You think someone's gonna... err... 24-box mechwarrior online to farm fairly trivial amounts of c-bills?

That's kind of ridiculous dude.

I've loved MWO since the day I first tried it. I've paid actual money for in game content on more than one occasion and have never complained about the tweaks that were made with any patch,,, ever. So for me to go out of my way after this patch to complain online is really saying something. I've always supported this game for a variety of reasons so this new patch is a real kick to the jewels. Why.... WHY would you make it so that you don't have a choice which game type to play when playing a public match? I shouldn't be forced to play game modes I don't like just because I don't have premium time. Like I stated above, I've spent lots of money over the past year and a half because I believed in the cause and the direction things were headed. But for the company to punish me and force me to play modes I don't enjoy just because my budget is tight doesn't seem fair to anyone. I don't get or appreciate this move at all. Thanks for the letdown.

and yet they screw something up again. Now am forced to play ,modes that I personally detest.
once again forcing people to play in stupid ass cap games.
bring back where you can choose the mode you want to play in at least.

Just think how disgusted we are having to play with assault bunnies

and with there being no gold ammo in game what does it matter? I mean really. so you buy all the mechs you can and have all the modules and everything...... so what, you can't play them all, you can't be OMG AWESOME in all of them and you still have to buy mech bays. In fact having to buy mech bays would almost be an incentive to PGI to allow rewards in private matches.

the only way they can keep it like this is to make any consumables used be free in private matches. I'll go one step further and say any C-Bill bought consumables should be automatically replaced at the end of the match at no cost to the player. As it is right now it is just a punishment for having more than three friends and other game titles are reaping the rewards of those gaming budgets. Dog Fight module anyone?

Bah, too time much wasted on an infinite Beta game. You guys are never going to make any money off of this. Time to pull the plug, I know I am.

I tried to play tonight again the games far to broken I just uninstalled because I truly don't believe 3/3/3/3 is enough , you need to change your ways massively or your games going to die , You will not hold onto new players in its current state , You have 2 choices dramatic MM fixes , complete removal of pre made's , in game voice chat, or cash grab for a few months then close down whilst you still have enough people playing to make money. Its to late for me its gone it aint getting reinstalled worst gaming experience of my life. I'm so tired of being obliteraterd by people clearly more skilled then me , Far more skilled freaking baby with a pea shooter vs a death star these match ups should not be allowed to happen its a joke

Interesting thought, but then again it forces private only players back into the public queues at some point to get more c-bills. Of course, you could always buy Cbills now with MC (I say that ONLY to poke the bear).

But lets be realistic, most private server FPS games cost you, the player, money to host. Here all you need is a premium in. So who is getting the cheaper part of the deal?? You are talking to someone who used to drop $500 a month support a serious gaming group (not to be named)... as much as you THINK you deserve this system, it does cost something and take away from the public queue, so you just MAY have to repay that somehow. Your choice, public queue Cbills or MC...

Let me just point out this little doozie... ^ "I'm so tired of being obliteraterd by people clearly more skilled then me".... Haha. Soo I have an idea.. Don't play any game ever because there's always going to be someone better than you. Sorry for your luck pal.

[MayGay]

6 matches tonight, 6 stomps, I think I'm 3 and 3. I'm not really seeing a change. Scratch that, this has been one of my worst nights ever, 1 kill and the losses have been pretty bad. Best I've seen was a 12-6 win, but have been 12-1to3, I thought launch module was supposed to stop mega stomps. We'll see how it goes in the morning though, this is just my thoughts on the night, and nights are always inconstant for me.

[Kotzi]

What impact do farmers have on me again? They got better mechs, better guns? Who the hell is willing to waste his ingametime for some idiot, who is not able to achieve anything in a normal game? Earning cbills and xp for your mech and a decent mechfight is the only content we have. Screw them if they want to ruin their gamingexperience. Just stop this charade and exclusively implement payed private matches only. Stop telling me what mech i have to run, restricting the modes i can play. This is getting ridiculous.

So I pilot a Jager made to be an RFL-3N, an Orion made to be as close to a Mad-3R, and a Shadow Hawk dressed up like a Wraith, I use a Dragon with the weapons load out of a Bushwhacker (well a custom Bushwhacker that I use in the TT), a Victor made up like a Zeus 6S, a 3 PPC Awesome, and a CPLT-C1 with stock weapons save extra ammo and AIV on the LRMs, I have a Griffin that puts more effort in to spotting than doing damage and a SHD-2D2 dressed up like a custom 5D I use in TT(even the paint looks the same, though the mini was painted long before MWO) I have a BLR-1G with less than stock weapons, took off the SRM 6 and added more and double heat sinks, my Stalker has SRMs not LRMs and I have tried to recreate a Raksasha with an Orion, Long before even the first champion 'mech, I had a Cataphract that has almost the same weapons load out except the it has an AC/10 not an LB10X, my Blackjack once tried very hard to be the IS version of a Shadow Cat and I still run Sara's 'Mech, I am championing the release of the Assassin, one of the most awful 'mechs ever, I want to see the release of the Enforcer, Enfeild, Watchman, and Bushwhacker, all pretty much variants of the Cent, why? because they are fun

So, you see I have no Death Star, maybe a few SSDs, but no Death Star, and I often take out fatlases, highlanders and metaboat stalkers in 'mechs under 60 tons, and ironically I kill more 'mechs under 60 tons in heavies and assaults, I have been in many stomps on both sides and I have been that one guy with 5 kills in a pretty much stock X-5 in a loss (that was during 8v8 bty) in fact, in games where I get more than 3 kills and 500 damage I think I have a loosing record, but I usually have fun win or loose, save LRM spam I can even forgive other metaboats

MWO isn't perfect, and I do dare say that we will likely see mainly metaboats in 3/3/3/3, and less of the lower end of each weight class, also I actually don't want to see in game VOIP, I thought I did, then I played CoD at a friend's place the other day and remembered that I usually have to mute everyone because the only thing I hear is trash talk in game and awful insults being hurled like LRMs in a festival of Artemis, and you want the removal of premades? really? why? I've played in several 'units' and have found that I don't really play differently or have a better win/loss record so I really only play with people I personally know anymore anyways, and I'd have a hard time staying interested in the game if I couldn't play with my real life non-internet friends

You can rest assured everybody has been on Red-Alert/DEFCON-2 since the issue was found. The team wants to get this sorted-out ASAP so they can move on to the next important feature.

As to the Biebs: While our hearts go out to his family and friends. Our nation's foreign and customer service policies clearly indicate: You break it, you buy it. There will be no refunds or returns on damaged pop idols.

We still have the receipt and just might make a case that the product arrived faulty. Admittedly there's no way we can say he's not pretty badly used.

Thank you. It's cool, I'll wait. I have no doubt that the people who've spent a few missed hockey matches worth of hours getting it put together want it working even more than I do.

Just that now going back to regular pug matches just feels like this.
