Perhaps this was the wrong thread to apply sensible thinking to.

Note "multiple thriving titles".

We don't even have "one thriving title".

We have a title that is still basically in an Alpha level state after 3 years. And the reason was because they were a small developer. Well do you think they suddenly just double their size to make this new game? Here is a tip, they didn't.

You can whine all you want about it, it's still phase 1. Regardless of whether it should have been here 2 years ago, or not. Phase 1 is here. What you think of it, is pretty much irrelevant at this point.

thats what I have been saying back with my association thread, but good luck trying to get that across.

I could care less what you call me or think of me. I have something called manners, learn to use them, and save the insults for the little kids.

You are a little kid, my 3 year old has more common sense than you. I'd smack your father if I ever ran into him.

Kudos to you sire.

As far as a new game comes around I am sure its not even in the development stage. Just an idea at this point, or maybe now.

Phase 1 as in being able to have a tag in front of your name? You really think that's a good indication for good progress? Are you going to tell me loyalty points are also a reason CW is going out in full force soon?

Where exactly did I say "good progress"? Go back to my post, and point it out for me, please.

All I said, is that it's here. I think the progress of development for this game is too slow for my taste. However, I'm not going to make mountains out of ant hills, and I'm not going to hand wave away decent progress (only made within the last 3 months), or bad incidents.

It's taken them 3 years instead of 90 days to give us unit creation.

All bow down and hail progress!

Perhaps this was the wrong company to apply thinking with IGP/PGI and its horrible track record.

I fixed it for you.

In before this is deleted too.
The will not have "us" knowing that clan money went somewhere else

Who cares where the money went? It's not like they made any promises on it. Do I give a crap if the money I spend on Magic boosters when I draft goes to pay for printing new D&D books? No. Do I care if Burger King uses the money I paid for a Whopper to renovate a Tim Hortons? No.

This is infantile.

Who's whining? I'm just calling it what it is.

Making up stupid labels to make you feel better about it just makes you look stupid.

UNIT CREATION. Say it with me, we just gained UNIT CREATION. Something once again, that nearly every game, good or bad has at inception, not 3 years in.

You don't announce games that are just an idea. Good lord man. They've BEEN developing it while taking resources from MW:O.

Unless you are saying they've hired 40 people suddenly? Hmm?

Dude you are doing exactly that, making a big deal about basically nothing for tags and unit creation. That's just a sidebar and no indication whatsoever if CW will arrive ever.

For all I know they are in the red, but let me say this, its my guess they went out of beta so quickly because they were making to much to basically be called a beta. They basically had to leave beta or start having some explaining to do about making so much steady income as a beta. 100% a guess, but there it is.
.

It was said in something somewhere by one of them that it had to do with some Canadian laws and taxes if memory serves correctly.

As far as making a new game,, well that is what game companies have to do. The shelf life of most games are very limited in most cases. And it would not be smart for them to bank on one title, especially one like this with such limited and volatile fan base.

With that being said,, I do think it is a little weak to pull/move/realign people from this title with such slow progress on things such as maps/CW (though CW does at least seem to be showing signs on progress though a year or 2 late)

Got deleted once but again I will say what we have in MWO is another Tribes Ascend

Too true, and you just summed up 25% of all threads in these forums.

Again, what you think of it is irrelevant. They said this would be the first step, and they delivered it (granted it took them forever to do so). Considering their recent track record, I have little reason to doubt that them right now.

you dont know that, I dont know that. It could be true, maybe not. However that will only remain true if the October release is disrupted by any other means besides game related issues

Well have fun circle jerking with Blood Wolf about unit creation, I hope you two enjoy it.
