I would be totally and absolutely


UNSURPRISED



Matter of fact I expect it, because PGI seems no closer to launching community Warfare than they were 18 months ago. OK, that might be a slight exaggeration, I'm sure they've made some small amount of progress, but I doubt we will see CW this year, maybe fall 2015 IF we are lucky (and just not gullible still).

Yup...so expect a mech pack sale sometime this fall, "Just in Time for Christmas!!". Remember you read it here first.

I still want spend money on this game,
but every evaluation date i set myself for it i have not seen a game.
Its still an alpha/beta techdemo with the basic features and lot of problems.

If there are more maps and cw and this game is ready to launch,
i will spent money on it.

New mechs do not change anything, its still the same maps for more then a half year, 3 basic gamemodes that are not that different, no meanings in the repeating deathmatches. Sure its fun, buts its nothing more then a dumbed down minimal aviable product thats not half ready...

Give me something where i can play with that new shiny toys that i can buy and i will buy them.

You use the world *if* as if there is any other possible fate. It's pretty much in the prophecy of Piggy that it's going to happen.

Personally, I wouldn't necessarily be against it, but I think a lot of other people would be.

Still, on NGNG #115, Russ said they had no current plans to release another in the near future.

That was their position at that time.

For me, I wouldn't really care at this point as long as CW is out when they said it would be.

As long as I get my King Crab, Zeus, Hatchetman, and Urbanmech, all will be right with the world.

I want more Mechs ! But please not lower than 10.000MC to ensure, that not every lousy clochard can afford them !

[Gerhardt Jorgensson]

Why would the art team who produces 'Mechs working on new 'Mechs impact Community Warfare's timeline at all? I would like to see more 'Mechs from now until the launch of Community Warfare, as there should be a specific team working on both individually.

We need more Mechs before the game actually launches.

Why? Sure, it would be nice to have a lot of mechs to chose from, but in the end it is wasted dev-time. Without sized hardpoints and/or stock mode, a large majority of players will always only use a fraction of the mechs available because at some point (and that point has likely already been reached or will be soon) you can have any possible configuration with the mechs we already have. Therefore new mechs will only be glorified new skins and bring nothing new to the table, while players will gravitate towards the superior designs. Why use an Awesome when a Banshee or Stalker is just outright better?

Awesome ist still one of my favourites, but to be honest the 8 med-laser-Battlemaster outguns him.

But... this PGI quoting vague time. What is near future? Is it longer or shorter than 60 days? Because 60 days so far about 3 years long.

If said Mechpack didn't took any resources from the development of CW, I wouldn't mind at all.

I would rather they take the people working on Mech Paks, send them to whatever coding school they need to go to, so they can help the CW team get something great out the door. I'm sure there's time for another Bachelors in whatever class they need. *snicker*

[Heffay]

A gold Urbanmech & Marauder Clanbuster package would be OK in my book.

Actually a package of all the Macross mechs would be nice. But gold Urbie no matter what.

[LauLiao]

Well, they normally start taking pre-orders on mech packs about 6-8 months before the mechs are actually released, and since CW is supposed to be out in less time than that, this is either a moot point, or everyone is going to be PISSED because that will mean that CW got pushed back AGAIN.

Just wondering About players' opinion on this?

House specific mech packs might be an interesting lead in to CW.

[Viges]

Who cares they still wont deliver cw.

[Jetfire]

I sort of expected a Clan Reinforcement Pack and some Hero's but not much more for another 6 months or so. This would mean at the very least CW phase 2 should be in the wild before the pre-orders go up.

Honestly I see the Clan draw out as the main cash draw until after CW.
