It's been the same exact topics for two years.


Listening to Russ last town hall talk, my understanding is the forums don't really matter to the community. Don't ever expect anything to change because it was posted on this forum.

It's like I've said all along -- the forums are just a support group for disgruntled forum warriors to cry on each other's shoulders about what this game could have been™.


*Disclaimer: Before anyone misinterprets this badly, this isn't to say that the game is bad right now. It's just that there's a lot of room for improvement...

"Dying instantly to everything" for the win, it always makes me lol.

Meanwhile "I just started playing. Here are my ideas for some great gameplay changes, and I don't even know what BT is" makes me mad.....

Other groups of topics:

- ghost heat
- convergence solutions

and NERF NERF EVERYTHING!!!!!!

A successful thread on this Forum generally needs some key ingredients...

A- A title that says you want to nerf something popular, that is generally seen as close to balanced.

B- The body of the thread should make terrible points as to why the popular item should be nerfed. Mostly make it seem like your fault while at the same time blaming said item

C- Doesn't hurt to throw in a random one-off video making it look like your correct (even when it might only occur every 1 in 10 times or less often).

D- Lastly, argue and insult the skill of anyone who disagrees. Things like..."your in too low of an ELO" or "Get on my level" is a nice route.

Sit back and watch your thread grow some 6+ pages.

At least, that seems to be a descent chunk of threads on here too.



In other words, "Only TROLL threads are successful" ? :)

Don't forget the "I've been away a while, and here's why my opinion that I formulated in twenty seconds after reinstall matters" threads.



The game hasn't changed in 2 years - which is why the "I just reinstalled" threads are not only relevant, but probably highlight the biggest issue in MWO.

Heck, I left in CB and returned 2 months ago simply because I heard that CW was going to be released in Sept. I figure that I'll give it till xmas before uninstalling again because CW won't have been released. Yet people nonstop ask for balance and MM issues - continuously sending Devs chasing squirrels. PGI needs to hire real project managers, and actually move MWO forward instead of pretending that this is Groundhog Day Online.

You are missing a few:
  • Hardpoint sizes
  • IW (Information Warfare) needing work (ECM, targeting, sharing, ect)
  • Convergence

Well, they have the best track record for posts lol.

There are some good exceptions though. A couple that come to mind are...
The Ultimate Mech Discussion Thread
A1 Catapult Geometry Fix Thread

I don't know, they seem to be at least panning for the rare golden idea on the forums now. We should get them old timey prospector outifts for funsies. :P

I forgot Hardpoint resizing, thats been trending lately.

Lrm and ghost heat were mentioned, but I havent seen their intensity increase lately, and its far below the median of what it was.

This was mostly about whats trending NOW.

Convergence is a constant. You dont see much change in the trend unless its a full on PP FLD nightmare aggedon. Its low level frustration. Same with ECM. The trending there is down because the player council kind of shut people up about it for a while.

Though possibly I must say, maybe the "MOAR CBILLS" is a bit up lately..the gifting things to people thread, really amounts to "I want to be able to hoard up cadet bonuses on alt accounts and gift myself the money until PGI figures out that loophole"

But I think thats just par for the course anywhere...people always want more free stuff.

>I just started playing. Here are my ideas for some great gameplay changes!
>PGI should negotiate for the reseen.


Personally, I like the "I'm too lazy to look it up the 27 threads on this topic myself, but could you answer this for me? Then can I propose bad solutions that have already been hashed out in the those threads I didn't read:

Anywhere but the New Player section and it frustrates me.

I love the "MWO NEEDS TO BE TABLETOP!" posts.

Ugh. If tabletop is so great, go play that and leave MWO alone.

I had a golden idea once but it got shot down before all the other ideas. It was kind of expensive though. :P

I would have to agree that this community is *slightly* better than the communities for a certain pair of Russian f2p games... *cough* WoT *cough* WT *cough*

y i spend enough time on those games just for the love of heavy steel but they made me lose respect for younger generations of gamers. one of the things i was plesently suprised that here in-game chat is not filled with mindless cursing and spaming. here ppl tend to communicate and work on tactics (well at least to some degree wich is gret for PUG) i missed that in online games (was raised on UT, CS and AA) that and dedicated server :'(
