The game is being developed as a cash cow nothing more nothing less, delivering very little of anything that's promised.
There will be another mechpak cash grab of some description i would be surprised if there want at least another 2 planned before anything of real value in CW being released.

The game lacks mechs (available to everyone for cbills) the long clan timeline of release is ridiculous.
The game severely lacks maps, the amount we have is like a beta number of maps, there should be dozens by this point.

The game does not have the content for CW not even close.
And that is not going to change because....PGI

I wouldn't be surprised to see another $30-240 mech pack being sold to commemorate the release of their main CW module.

Well, since the CW seems to be stuck on "in the next 90 days" limbo, i think its highly possible that we will have more mechpacks. Personally i have lost all hope of ever seeing any sort of meaningful CW out of this game. Dont get me wrong, i would dearly love to see it happen.

I am just resigned to the fact that early promises and hopes have since died.

I wouldn't be surprised, or really against it. As long as CW still runs along its new timeline- if PGI can't stick to this new one, then I can honestly say my desire to continue playing this game into the future won't be there. Games can keep you playing for so long, and new 'Mechs aren't quite enough to keep the game fresh.

I'm quickly running out of things to do. I took a six month break even, came back for clans and stuff, but the matches have no real meaning other than xping out my mechs. Hell, I've got around 60 mechs, most of them mastered. Not much to do, and the matches aren't really fun enough most of the time to justify buying any more.

they wont release CW until they are comfortable with the balance between IS and clan mechs (which seems fine now but they are getting #;s im sure)

and they will want more $$$ too and we do need more clan mechs to fill certain roles. (clan scout for one)

In my personal opinion: priority should be as follows

1) Community Warfare
2) Maps
3) Integrated VOIP
4) New Mechs
5) Backlog items from ThePlan other than VOIP
6) Bullshit like sales and camos and colours

How about instead of new Mechs, they actually fix the ones that are total turds? The Awesome, the Dragon, so many iconic Mechs that only waste a new player's hard earned cadet cbills because PGI designed them to be death traps and clan fodder.

Fix the broken crap they already want to sell us along with invisible walls on current maps, CW be damned until they fix the game we already have, just my opinion.

the dragon is not a **** in my opinion. its one of my highest KDR mechs. Ill agree awesome needs some help even if they just remove ghost heat from it then it would be fine

I'm happy with any content injection...

I won't feel... for PGI, that is. :P

I didn't buy the last two. Why should I buy a third one?

I'd much rather pay MC for a map-pack.

...kickstarter style, 3 maps in 3 months if we get X-number of sales.

They'll have $50 from me pronto...

(but no, not going to buy mech packs, I'd rather earn them...)

You stop RIGHT freaking there. Pretty soon we'll be paying for UI upgrades. Maps are PGIs responsibility if they want the game to live, not for an extortion attempt. They know they need to produce. Let them sell us other things. I can't believe you would throw money at maps but not mechs. That's insane, to me. :P

More mechs wouldn't bother me at all, but I doubt we will see a major mech pack release before CW is launched.

Could be wrong, though......... :)

I'd like a functional CW that isn't a total disaster or disappointment, at least then i could actually consider spending money on this game again. The last three packs came before CW so I didn't buy them, any pack that comes before CW won't be bought either.

Will it be annoying yeah, but PGI has already crossed the "almost total lack of faith" threshold for me so until something resembling the game founders were sold on I'll keep checking in and not spending money until I eventually stop checking in at all.

I want to see 3050-era designs offered as a counter to the Clan 'Mechs.

Specifically, I'd love to see the Zeus. Circa 3050 updates of designs like the BJ-2 Blackjack and BNC-5S Banshee which aren't available in game but are available in the Clan invasion timeline would be cool, too.

took 1 missed date to send them to that threshold? jeez you must be very hard on people. Take it easy sometimes.
