Hi,

I realize that this is a completely different game with a completely different development studio... and that is why I went to Off Topic

but since IGP is still the publisher, I would love to get some feedback regarding the status of Mechwarrior Tactics.... I am a founder on there, and just like with MWO I have been very supportive and optimistic about it. However it has now been a year since there has been any real communication from the developers and the facebook page hasn't been updated since November 2013.

Has the title been abandoned?
And if so, could someone at least tell us this officially?

I'm hoping there are at least plans to shift this project to a different development studio, since I think the game concept still has potential.

This will probably just get deleted instantly, however I hope not and that I at least get some vague PR statement if nothing else. Thanks.

+1 nothing else to add.

Yes, really wondering about that myself. Officially they're still in Closed Beta I believe but no idea if anything has happened on that front.

I should ask somebody who is totally not my younger brother and who totally isn't in the CB if he has seen any updates. Even though I believe he stopped playing due to the lack of progression a good while ago. If he would be in CB, which he isn't. Don't even know who I'm talking about honestly.

Did you try contacting the MWTactics support with your question?

I wish i knew him, sounds like a cool guy..
but i think he would say that there are no announcements,.. no progress..no news....nothing, but that there is something upcoming and brewing from the management level in terms of announcements, soon^tm

and i think he will say that the game has really potential and the battles are fun, but that there is still a lot of work to do, (which has not really happened in the past 7 months, a lot of server maintenance, but no real patch,)

But that is strictly hypothetical of course, because i do not know him ...

MWTactics illustrates what usually happens with the early access approach. For all the still broken/unfinished parts of MWO, look at what could have happened.

[SnagaDance]

Hey Kain! Seems we don't know the same person!

But I can chime in with basically the same info. No real patch since the month Santa likes most and apparently some announcement about progress that should come out.

Was a thread on the MWT boards where Reppu divulged this information but apparently that thread has been closed again because of a lynch mob......

Edit: that thread is part of the Beta discussions actually, and I don't know anyone who has access to those...

As MW:T is in closed beta at the moment, no one can tell you things...
Check the MW:T boards or contact them directly.

P.S. I founded there and i do have hopes.

Well the boards do not say much at the moment. Only random speculation from other closed beta members like myself. I have sent IGP a message directly in the mean time, but like most of these companies I don't get my hopes up on getting any feedback via that channel.

As for the whole hush hush ninja thing... I'm not planning on releasing any information regarding the progress that is already there and the status of the game so far, or any information that has been confided to closed beta members in the forums. I simply want to know whether I should be sad and write off the money I paid as a founder for a game I supported, or whether they are regrouping on their side.

Still holding thumbs for some form of an answer from somewhere.

Frankly I haven't even been able to do THAT.


....Actually I know someone who is in their closed beta, I should probably ask him if he could forward my questions...

I probably don't know that person either....

The last official announcement from a staff was on 15th April 2014, so it is safe to assume they are still alive.

Probably not - he doesn't socialize much when he plays.

I cannot remember the EULA - and cannot really access their website to double check it.

Anyone aware of how much we are allowed to talk about MWT?
I remember that there was stuff we were not supposed to talk about - but what, when, why, where.... I do not remember.

Gameplay, bugs, media are a no no. So, state of the game in general is off limits.

Comments about who is in or not though?

If I remember right - MWO's closed beta, you could say you were in it - but not really anything else.

If I remember right... MWT was rather more strict.
(which sounds really weird even as I say it)

If they are a founder, you can see that without logging in. I don't believe it's an issue unless the person themselves doesn't want it known. That restriction for MWO was lifted for the same reason(Founders).

Well that would be a worry off my mind - the person I was earlier referring to was and is Gwilliy.

Who, as I said, most of you probably wouldn't know (though he does play both MW titles) as he does not socialize much.

Hey, good news. The dev team on MWT seem to be alive.
Finally got some new feedback after the silent treatment.

Afraid that is probably as much as I can say without breaching the NDA but at least it seems like the ball will be rolling again soon. I think subsequently this topic can be locked or whatever gets done to topics that do not need further posts, before someone gets in trouble

You do know you can delete your own threads, right? (Hint hint)

[WVAnonymous]

Different dev/moderator teams, so you may be able to carry on not talking about it here.

On the topic you aren't discussing, I am glad I opted not to fund both projects at the same time.
