Hi,

I think it is a good idea to rollback the timeline. The entire timeline idea is predicated on Community Warfare which doesn't even exist yet.

However, after your first experience, having to roll back the time line 2 years ... it might be a good idea to retain flexibility and avoid making promises regarding any 1:1 matching. I am hoping that you will not find it necessary to make further adjustments but past experience has shown that things don't necessarily go according to plan. Hopefully, CW will be fully ready by next August but there is a lot of development work required for CW as well as the matchmaker, UI, and other core game systems.

In any case ... best of luck on the CW implementation

Just wondering.. What would be the role of Houses Liao and Marik in CW?

[Blue Shadow]

Sounds good! I hope we really can change the way the invasion plays out! But I thought that capturing worlds was limited to those on the boarder with each faction? Is this a new development? Will CW enable large chunks of the map to be captured/lost? I hope so.

So do command consoles not work in 3049 and we've been stuck in 3049 for 3 years?

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?

Ah, now I get where you're coming from and we can totally agree upon that. I see we even share the same fears.

The thing about the FedCom is, if they handle that the same as they plan with the invasion (rewrite history). If we start off by taking everything existing in 3049 as written in stone the FedCom is in fact existent and Davion and Steiner militias are fighting together (which I like).

Ah and regarding my tag... hm... clanners either need a second one or get their IS chassis replaced by IIC variants (hey... one can dream...)

If clans get get access to advanced prototypes that every pilot could buy. How come IS can't have access to advanced 'prototype' IS mechs like Mauler.

[Sagedabluemage]

sounds very reasonable. I like it and its kewl you guys are thinking of us XD its starting to show more. im really liking the Feedback pages more and more Thanks in advance XD

[Reno Blade]

Very nice.
So we get enough time to bring CW into full faction warfare and have such effects as described here:

right?

[Opus]

So are we going to roll back to 3049 again next year as well?????

""Snicker"

come on guys CW has been promised for 2 years now, and we still only get snippets from you on what's going on

But thanks for the info at least we didn't miss Katrina's Birthday party , right?

[AlmightyAeng]

Careful now, Paul, that description of Community Warfare is dangerously close to what was originally promised.

If you can't deliver...don't bait us.

Can we get a DeLorean cockpit item for surviving this rollback? I thought they were lostech.

A Flux Capacitor.

That would be so damn awesome, as well as being funny as all get out. It'd be nice to see PGI able to laugh at themselves a bit too =)

[Solothkar]

Would it have been so horrible to conservatively start in 3025 and work yourself up? Jumping forward in time ain't half as bad as goping back. And CW would have been good to establish way prior to the clan invasion. Around 3025 way more housefighting would have made sense.

Just my thoughts...

[Mordin Ashe]

Sooo... does this mean I will get a refund on my "3050" holo cockpit item?
Anyway, years matter only little, clans will win anyway. Nice of them to come clean though.

[Logi]

have to admitt, i love the idea of a little jump back in time

[RapierE01]

Will this timeline change affect things like UAC's, LBX oder XL Reactors?
