So basically, we'll be able to create and join teams/clans/factions?

No. This is just for Merc Unit players. The rest is still on the napkin.

And even if its everything you all want, the game wont actually change at all. Youll all still be here whinging. And Ill just be sitting here, blowing up 'Mechs and having a blast.

Being able to join a Merc Unit, with nothing to actually do with it, is hardly 'everything we want'. This is just phase 1.

What about us Clanners ? WE NEED MORE ATTENTION PAID TO US!

I mean, just look at the kind of **** we have to put up with!

Clan Units are part of Faction Units, which is still under construction (and a long way off unfortunately).

Lol.

So basically for us Lone Wolves there will be no change, whatsoever in CW phase 1.

Oh well! I suppose it's needed for other stuff.

Russ, you said on reddit here http://www.reddit.co...ent_of_piranha/ (lame phone link) that there would be a map implemented in PHASE 1. Don't forget.

Edit messed up link on phone.

"Lone Wolf Life" is still pretty far off, but it will be here before "Faction Unit Life" as it was one of the original 3 (Merc, Lone Wolf, Faction Player).

If we whine enough I'm sure we can get inclusion into whatever system is coming out.

My hype reserves were drained ages ago. Seems it happened to everybody else, too, since this thread has 2 pages of comments.

I don't know they'll engage old players who have everything, or somehow attract new players who'll run into the old players who have everything, and promptly ragequit the game.

They need to be bold and give substance. Little drip drops of content are the problem. Some could argue that we just had a huge amount of content with Clan mechs, but at this point, mechs are mechs. Actual game and aesthetic content is needed.

Cw with the map and a decal system coming after unit creation.

There are some really good games being released in the next year and they really can't afford the pace they have been moving.

I'm also curious how laser guided arty and air are penetrating ECM, but that could simply be me.

No, Lone Wolves will be bidding on contracts and such, much like Merc Units.

Just a quick correction: Association is actually Phase 2. Phase 1 was the Launch Module of April 29th.

(Yeah, that'll blow the haters' minds...we've actually had some CW in place for three months now.)

[Oderint dum Metuant]

I do not count creating an in game team as part of CW.

That is just a cop out, on a feature that should have been here in beta....like guild creation in every game since....like since.

Fact is, there is still no reason to play.

We've has IS Faction badges this whole time. Does that mean we have had some CW since Beta?

I know, what Im saying is, even if you all get everything you want from CW when its finally out, it wont really change a single thing

Funny, I have all the reason I ever needed to play (And alot more reasons that I didnt need...)

Forget the badges. The badges are bupkis. PGI found them in Crackerjack boxes. CW is in YOU Davers, it's in YOU!

only if you and 11 friends each have 18.8MM CB for a total of 288MM.

If you don't have the CB, this F2P game is charging $600 to form your guild (based on MC to CB purchase)

18.8MM is so goddamm expesive. Do they think we all play 4-5 hours a day ? It'll take ages for a casual players to get that kind of money. PLUS, they can't spend it anywhere else. That means that Mastering Clan mechs with c-bill is out of the question. Clan mechs will be even more expensive. 18.8 MM is like buying all 3 Adders, but i don't think you'll be able to buy all 3 Mediums, heavies or assaults with this money. Damm, i even think 1 Clan assault mech will cost about that

the point was to pass on news to the MANY people who don't follow twitter. Seriously dude, wtf is your problem sometimes? What did you think the purpose of it was? Some of us who follow twitter often do this to pass on the info to all those that DON'T follow twitter and have even been asked by MANY people to do exactly what this thread did. Post that information on the the general population since it's lostech for Devs to post stuff like this on the forums

I thought they usually make an announcement before they inject anything.

"So I should be able to announce a patch date for CW module 1 - Merc corp creation Tuesday."-i doubt that was the intent, to make sure we had info or to spread the news.

"Posting this here because they never tell you guys anything.

>inb4 delayed for 60 to 90 days."

Have they not made announcements regarding release beforehand? If it wasn't for the cynical comment I would have believed this was just to report.

All i did was ask a question, Sandpit stop getting all emotional every time I post something.

.

that's called snark and cynicism
it's very prevalent here
That does not in any way change the fact that this is an important piece of news for most of the community and it was posted here for jsut that reason.

don't make it into that. You and I have and do agree on several things. What I don't agree with is you jumping into a thread with the "why are you posting this" attitude. It's not your place to decide what's "important" to others. You can't defend it either because you offered NOTHING on topic, you just wanted to inject your own snark (which is "ok" apparently but not for others) and try to make the thread into something it isn't.
I know why you're doing it, you're just tired of a lot of the negative on the forums, well negative doesn't always = "bad", just like positive doesn't always = white knight or fanboy. I'm just calling you out on it so that you realize you're doing it. You and I personally went round and round in one of my threads simply because you didn't like the subject matter of the thread. You're trolling, you're just doing it "In the name of PGI", which makes it no less of a troll. Offer something constructive. Participate in the discussion but stop telling others when and where they have a right to post what they feel is important to them.

Thank you for the information AND the well played snarkiness. We may not always see eye to eye, but you have a level of snarkiness that impresses an old salt like me.

You have some potential sir.
