Dunno why they don't post their stuff on their own forums? forgot their passwords or something?

I can say that for me, whatever PGI does will almost certainly not be the community warfare I envision. And that's not really their fault. in fact, I plan to try to enjoy whatever they cook up in regards to this conundrum, although as a newer player, a cost investment of basically all the c-bills I've made in my first month of playing to this point reads like a rude hand gesture.

Back to the topic at hand, short of making the Eve Online of MechWarrior (sans Eve's ultra punishing death mechanics), they're just not going to get there. So whatever they call CW I will try to enjoy for what it's worth... But I know it won't be what I've hoped for since I first played MW2 and Wing Commander back to back.

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.

this in a nut shell. not a programmer but i don't see it hard to add a space to part of the game to add X amount of chars before your name. still no taking of dots that make ppl rage. the fun of planetary leagues.

Twitter you can sign in, type something, and be gone.

Because... this thread is why we can't have nice devs.

uhm
no?
they post on threads that don't allow responses.

[BLOOD WOLF]

you mean on the announcements and command chair where they link another tread specifically for player reaction/feedback?

Do they not usually have a announcement for these sorts of things? why the attack on russ because he wants to post something on twitter(mainly content leaks).

Or maybe the post before this one about unit creation http://mwomercs.com/...-unit-creation/, I dont remember them locking it before players could give their say.

There was a similar origional thread where it was posted where you could not respond http://mwomercs.com/...0#entry3481510.

Do you see any threads regarding their plans to release CW on august 19th? No, you don't.

They post information about a day before they launch stuff.

I'm so excited. Can you feel how awesome those legendary loyalty points I've been collecting since the Phoenix Pack?

How do people contain themselves? Unfathomable!

how often do they need to post about something? you want them to tell you every 5 minuets? we know its coming, and The details a day before isn't a bad idea. Your harping on them because they post it a day before, jeez.

Of course their are not any threads, they never said CW was coming August 19th, just phase 1 with 2 shortly after.

- Association: July-Aug
- Planetary Conquest: Sept-Oct

Also they gave us details about unit creation in june, and that is months before association comes out, so i guess that throws your statement out the window. "they post information about a day before they launch"- maybe for a official statement but we always get info before hand.

Just to repeat, they gave this info in June, even russ says it will not be anything new(information)

I predicted doom and gloom around clan mechs. I was wrong (mostly). Going to give it a shot before I chime in.

I really hope there is new info. What they have given us is pretty spare.

I think you meant to say bare. yes I agree, they only gave us info about merc unit creation but neglected to say anything else about the other "famous(bryan)" units and what they are besides the dragoons, for one instance.

Now that i think about it, I wouldn't say bare but they did not give enough to let us really know how association is going to work. I will hold that thought until next Tues when the new info comes out.

Because they didn't actually have anything done on CW until december last year. It wasn't even in the design stage. The state of the inner sphere post from 2013 clearly explains this.

I shouldn't have to tell you what that implies.

I am losing you, I haven't a clue what your getting at. Also I am sure when they made that State of the IS post it was in the design stages, as they had more urgent releases to get to. As a matter of fact I am sure that since UI 2.0 came out they have only been focusing on one feature at a time.

I have no clue what that is implying? So yea your going to have to tell me. All i know is you say they don't post anything till the last minute but they drop info about features all the time. not only that but they dropped info on unit creation in June, and that was about 2 months before it is being released.

To be fair, they posted info about how the clans worked a day before release, but on the other hand we knew a bit about how clans mechs would work. not only that they threw them into testing and allowed people to play a bit before hand. To make a point, whether they announce it 2 months ahead or 1 day ahead does not change the date in which it comes. Yea it is nice to know early but it does not harm anyone if the info comes a day before or a month before. They always give a nice CC post about things they are releasing and so far they have been dropping info earlier.

not to mention they gave info on the launch module way before it was released and they gave updates periodically. hmm, what did it imply? Not to mention russ said that they are going to release more info Tuesday and that is also a bit of time before actual release.

You can form a unit yourself by holding all the MCRB badges needed. You just need to find 11 other shumcks to fill in a team to make the unit. After that they can leave it.

There are lots of people who have well over 200m cbills, and being able to front the whole cost of a unit would be nothing to them. So if you cannot afford it yourself, thats fine, there just needs to be 12 people in the group and someone, or a mix, of people offering up 12 badges. Those will be the first 12 "founders" of the unit, with the group leader being the default Unit Leader. After that, you can start to invite people into your unit, adjust unit ranks ect ect ect.

That is all that will be for the "Unit Association" patch on the 19th.




Oh and for ***** Sake, READ THE DAMN COMMAND CHAIR POSTS!
