With all due respect Koniving, we've heard this song and dance before. Remember when CW was weeks away from being implemented, only to be told on the date it was supposed to be coming that they hadn't even started yet? Yeah I do, meanwhile PGI continues to pump out Hero mechs and champion mechs and Overlord/Clan packages hand over foot.

I love Battletech, I was more than happy to go the founders route to support my favorite IP finally not sitting in a vault for a decade and finally seeng it get some love, but not like this, then we find out that some of the founders money went to other titles which should have been inexcusable. With one cash grab after another while actual content besides mechs that cost money never see the light of day. We haven't even gotten a new map in nearly 6 months. So I'd love to know what all those content makers are actually doing with all this time with very little to show for it beyond Hero mechs and cockpit items.

There's going to be a breaking point for every player where if CW does not see the light of day people are just going to move on to other games. PGI really needs to look at long term survivability rather than short term cash grabs.My breaking point is nearly up, if there's little to no progress on getting a planetary map and some form of CW ala MPBT:3025 in by the end of the year here, I'll likely be moving on to Star Citizen or just other titles in general until either time that PGI gets their stuff together, or Microsoft decides to stop treating the IP like a red headed stepchild and finally produces a full fledged Mech Warrior 5, and the way it's currently going, I certainly won't be holding my breath for either of those things to happen.

I would love to be proved wrong however.

You forgot that CW was around the corner just to find out nothing has been done on it twice.. not just once

In Sept 2012 it was suppose to be almost done and hitting Jan 2013.

Than more recently when it was suppose to be about done hitting before launch.. than after launch we find out that it again has had no work done on it.

So ... what do you call people who say one thing and mean another? What do you call them when they have a proven pattern of that behavior? What do you tell them when they ask you for money?

I don't think we'll see CW, period.

^^ - after having stopped playing this game back in March (and being a Founder supporter) I come here to see what is happening.

My feelings is similar to above in that PGI will never release CW. I see fewer and fewer posts every month, which means fewer and fewer people.

My current hopes is they lose the license renewal, and MS sells it to someone more competent. Yes this means years more delay, but having started with the SSI Mech game I can wait another 10 years for a proper MW-MMO.

In the meantime I have moved onto other MMO games and giving them my monthly subscription funds.

Thanks for sharing that heart warming tale of woe. My hope is that your hopes go unrealized. Driving big stompy robots is FUN. Will leave the nit-picking and whining to the others. All who are much better at it btw...

Your answers. CW, Clans, etc. 1.
Technical side. 2.

My answers will be when CW is actually in the game given how many times we've been out right lied to. That people still defend them for it is astounding.

Did you happen to see yesterday's patch?

...

Yes, That's why I wrote this post. It is deplorable that we are less than a month away from the single biggest make or break moment in this game, after all the failures and backer forgiveness, that is all they have to say?

In the weeks to come, we hope to further your luck with ongoing work in improving matchmaking, gameplay, performance, information on Clans and more.

Information? Who wants information "in the coming weeks?" How about information now! If PGI/IGP don't cough up the CW on June 17th I'm afraid that it will mean maybe they have no idea what they are doing.

I haven't seen anywhere they said you would be able to play using the clan mechs on or after the 17th of June. Just that the clan mechs would be delivered to your mech bays. So, do not be surprised if you can't use them until they add the clan code to matches. They will be pretty to look at in the mechlab though.

3.5 weeks to go, and we're at 50% complete on the Clans work....

That's a little worrying tbh.

If I was a manager of a team, which was divided into areas, and one of those areas is leaps and bounds ahead of another, I would reassign people. Sure not all tasks are exactly the same, but with minimal instructions, anyone can help anyone in the same field.

Well, it seemed to me they were overcommitted to getting 3/3/3/3 working to the detriment of missiles not working properly.

At this point, they are simply doing a fool's errand to keep trying.
