Neg, it is technically 3051. https://mwomercs.com/clock

Until PGI rewinds the time again, cause CW is still in beta.

Sadly time is stuck in this game it needs to be 3070 so we can get mechs we want! Like the Mad Cat MK II, Nova Cat, Uzeil, Star Adder, Kodiak, and I could go on and on.

Also finally some new weapons!

Maybe in 2016 we will actually move forward in time.

I've been saying for a year and a half now that the year doesn't matter since we have no single-player storymode or any real Lore Events. Let's timeskip to when the IS and Clans both had Omnis and good Tech and quit trying to nerf the Clans and buff the IS for goodness sake! If we go to a time when both sides were rather equal, then that solves so many balancing issues.

Russ still wants to give us the Clan invasion he originally envisioned. So in a sense, it's not even 3050 yet. The Clan invasion may not even have started, for all we know. We had a second Battle of Tukayyid, but he still wants to give us a proper invasion with CW Phase 3. So... is it 3049? 3050? 3051? 3052?

Who knows.

We're probably going to have Tukayyid 3.0 though, if we're going to have another Clan invasion. Groundhog Day Online.

Sadly thats impossible with how badly Clans have been nerfed. Any invasion would be a joke.

On the upside it means that operation bulldog/serpent will be a snap....

Is It Still 3052?

The clock linked above are probably nothing more than abandoned part of this website.

Per Russ Bullock, we are in 3052:


But honestly, is that year really important?

Definitely not in the PUG queue. There is no lore coming. The last tidbits of BattleTech lore - those Inner Sphere News - were published one or two years ago.

Or is it important for the CW? Hardly ... We have had two Battles of Tukayyid and possibly we will fight one or two more in the future.

Or for 'Mechs? Definitely not. PGI offers 'Mechs that have been extinct for centuries ...

With the current state of CW, it is the Clans who are being invaded lol

But Clan vs IS, and after having two Tukayyid events, the whole ordeal is starting to become fatiguing.

We should accelerate to the 3070s instead and have a battle of Terra against toaster worshippers instead.

You sound mad about internet robots. Perhaps you should chill out?

The timeline is meaningless. Also, the timeline seems to often be used as an excuse to not add content to the game.This is silly.

Thank you for your personal attack.

As for the content of my post, I have simply stated the facts.

[pbiggz]

I'd like to point out to the 3070 people. We can have a battle for terra with the clans (i.e. 3050-3060) and still have the 3070 tech.

The timeline is literally an artificial limiter used to block certain tech in the tabletop game, but as it stands, we have 3050 clan tech, but IS tech only up to effectively the late 3040s. If its 3052 we should already have dozens of new mechs and weapons a,d we're still missing a ton of equipment that would even have been in 3025, but was simply never implemented.

Im all for getting the cool fedcom civil war toys, give the IS something fun to play with, and then we'll be on equal footing with the clans, and we can do away at least half of the ludicrous bandaid quirks the IS HAS to use to be toe to toe with clans.

If you want to take being told to chill out as a personal attack, that's fine by me. Do you also get upset when they tell you at theme parks that you're under the height limit?

Thank you for your post that can serve as a nice example of "Argumentum ad hominem".

I always find it interesting how when there is no REAL argument to a point made, they argue how you're not arguing correctly...
