It took us 3 years to get this through PGI's skull but it finally happened

the timeline is restored and the story can be saved

now if we can work out the balancing of mechanics this will be an even better game

[VXJaeger]

Rollback all weapons adjustments to what they were 2yrs ago, and remove Stalker from game after that and we're good.
Stalker is that mech which started this lunatic nerf-buff-balance bullsh#t.

They are really giving us Clan Nova Cat? I can not believe my eyes. Today is a good day.

So long, giving my strength to the Ghost Bears in the early invasion, because a Clansman needs a Clan.

[Dodgy 1]

liking the turn back. Good call

I kinda have to agree with that.

Does this mean Davions can fight alongside Steiner?

I just wish some of these reversals from PGI and Paul would include a "You guys were right during Closed and Open Beta. The timeline was too aggressive given our rate of production. You guys saw this 2 years ago, thank you for your feedback and effort during the beta. Additionally since we did not feature CW for over a year after "Launch" possibly you were right about the game not being ready for launch, and it was still effectively a Beta." Again, I'm glad to see the "vocal minority" confirmed in such things, but an apology regarding being on an island, out of touch, and so on would be nice when they come around to our point of view.

You're asking for them to admit they were wrong. We both know that will never happen lol.

[Selbatrim]

This is a good move. It came about for the wrong reasons however with delays and broken promises, but as the game and development stands this was a good choice. Surprising and appreciated. Let us make our mark on Battletech history.

Looking forward to keeping the clans out! FRR forever!

Rolling back doesn't matter unless they have made enough progress to know they can at least get the cw alpha out.

Why are you guys so damn easy to please? They have been failing you for the most part on things that matter the most for this franchise for over 2 years now, why is it all it takes is a little thing like *were rolling back the time* Cuz since they have been ignoring that for a long time now suddenly it matters?

Give me a break this does nothing to improve the game or make it less frustrating to play. I still get dc'd in the middle of a match for no reason, and it's not because I have bad internet I have one of the best you can get here int he us.

They have not even started CW according to Russ's reddit Q&A. They have not even started on maps as well. However, Russ did say he would allocate assets to start both after the clan rollout in June even though they said many times CW is 90 days away. It seems like the canned answer to everything. Apparently, MWO is a geographic anomaly... 90 days away from everything.

Are they sure rolling back to mid-year 3049 is far enough back? Not really giving themselves a big enough buffer with their track record. 3038 or so would've been a better starting off point from the game's inception but that is looking through the clear vision of hindsight.

I see you are wearing Clan Doggie tags so probably do not understand the complexities of anything other than 'not us, hit them' but alongside means with them, not against them. At this point in the timeline, the vast majority of the Davion military was being deployed to Steiner space to fight the barbarian hordes .. Clan invasion.

We need to help out our merchant caste, quiaff?

Now if only I can be drafted into the 10th LG before CW, All will be in place!

I would gladly lend a hand - to defeat the Clans in the Lyran Space - and after they are dead - you Davion Dogs could come back to defend your realm yes - so that i can fight you again.

I've been Steiner and all my IS chassis are still Steiner camo painted (and will stay). But as Federated Commonwealth you're not just fighting alongside Steiner, you're in fact allies.

The thing I wondered was if you just wanted to know if you're able to fight alongside Steiner lorewise (BT canon) or if you're asking for a possibility of forming FedCom teams in MWO. So no need to be offended.

[DevlinCognito]

Not offended, just messing with you. Apologies if taken personal, but .. "fight alongside our Steiner" means fight beside Steiner, as in the same side.

Seriously though, as much as we all want an NBT style system to fight over (hyperlink not working so .. http://www.netbattle...map/starmap.php), we all know deep down we will just be getting a series of Fronts to fight over that each team death match will give or take points from the total to say whether we have gained or lost that Front. While NBT could manage so much more than this, we all know PGI will give us the bare minimum possible. However as Davion/Marik/Cappies don't share borders with the mongol hordes, is there any way we will be able to fight the clans without turning Merc or Lone Wolf?

.. with strategic planning like that, I can see why you Cappies were brutalised in the 4th SW ..

[Levon K]

Good to see everything stirred up again in the community in preparation for CW.

I've re-rolled Falcon because they were nice enough to give me a shiny new summoner to stomp my former Lyran friends with..

See you on the battlefront

[N0MAD]

Whats this PGI are spouting about the chance to change history?.
They have stated many times that for CW the Inner Sphere map will NOT be changeable thru battles.
They have stated repeatedly that only some Periphery planets will be contestable, so whats this changing history BS?
More hype for a non existent feature, rather misleading isnt it? or have they now changed their plans and IS planets will change hands?
Im betting that it will only be outlaying worlds that will be contestable and the Change History BS is just that, Hype and BS.

[Iron Buccaneer]

Good Move. Really the only one that would make sense.
