Fine. Dandy. Let NGNG do the grunt work.

But where was it even announced, an linked on these Forums? Heck I didn't even know there WERE those "contests" til we got the IV-4.

I shouldn't have to check NGNG to figure out what the heck is going on HERE:

At least one thread was posted in MWO GenDis the day after that the two submission threads went up on NGNG.
There may have been more threads on the subject, but that's the one I happen to remember.

I remember another one, kinda more "official", posted by one of the NGNG guys.

(don't have time to search for it, though)

The problem that I had with the whole situation is that there were no announcements made by PGI. It would have taken someone 5 minutes to post something on the Innersphere news, MWO facebook, and MWO twitter about NGNG hosting a build ideas on their forums. Instead some players and someone from NGNG posts about it in areas that we may or may not see.

My theory about what is going on, is that after the **** hit the fan last year and the beginning of this year that PGI is afraid to post anything on the forum for fear of the backlash/trolls/pissed off fans.

awesome,... and so for a post about an "official PGI wants" it was highlighted, pinned and announced by PGI too, right?




OH.

Don't worry, we'll probably get to find that out roughly a week or so after the Clans are released.

VLOGs usually are outdated when they finally air.


Only 4.5 weeks to go and still lots of open questions, they really like to stay secretive about everything.

The information part about community relations they havent figured out yet.

And still often outdated. Best you can hope for is that Russ is feeling generous enough to let slip something - in less than 140 characters.

If PGI were ever to release a Hero Joanna Mad Dog (which was her signature mech) I would immediately buy it (especially if it came with a hanging pair of spiked gloves in the cockpit). As it is June 17th can't come fast enough for me.

Interesting that they shuffled the release dates from the per-order.... order

Ignore this - read the calendar wrong.

Hmmm there is an error in the release schedule: the October Week 2 mech should be the Puma/Adder.
