Definitely not dying. My unit has 325 members and 51 are online right now as I am writing this. We have 2 CW dropships running now and the rest are PUGing or group dropping public queue. Granted it is Friday night ~7pm Central Time, but that is still pretty darn good.

I agree, it's time to nerf the lasers as well to put them back on par with the other weapons that were adjusted to increase ttk and mitigate the various metas that sprung up around them.

Nothing wrong with MWO lasers, it's that the nerfs to the other weapons are so game-breaking that only lasers and a few short range weapons compete. Nerfs are the problem, not the solution. TTK won't improve until long range weapons compete at long range again. They have the longer TTKs due to range. Lasers are for brawling due to beam duration and will always have the fastest kills.

MWO is so goofed up with slow PPCs and the desynced Gauss Rifle. That Gauss desync drove thousands of players away. Myself included. Used to buy every mech and play everyday until the Gauss desync ruined half my mechs.

I want the player counter back on the main screen.

I think a better question would be "is this topic dead?" I mean I've seen this topic crop up for so long. I wouldn't be too terribly concerned about friends lists being somewhat bare. I've always had the same issues even with games like WoW when it's customer base was still climbing. Many of them came back after certain expansions and lets face it it's not like the friends list notifies you when someone comes on. Could just be missing some folks.

Nope.

[TERRIB AL]

No.

Another fact I'm equally certain of is that you are a troll.

FRR is dead.

Which is kind of funny, since CGB tried to form an alliance with them a looooooong time ago, and were turned down, lol.

No expert, but I imagine that a long time ago, they were still moving air..

A lot of original players left in 2013 when the clans released without CW or because of one of the many other issues over the years. There's only a few names I recognise here now. For evidence, check the game credits and see how many of the founders there still have active accounts. There are quite a few new players now though, and some founders who gave PGI another chance, so hopefully with the recent improvements things are picking up and getting better again.

The credits page is one big graveyard.

Anyone who bought a top tier founder pack was automatically put on there. Are you saying that owning any full mech pack is 'whimsical' or do you just not know what you're talking about?

cw pointless without premade

cant wait to see for the negative reviews on steam on release ..."




Ah the 1 post troll. Everything you've stated is complete rubbish. Pug games horrible, rubbish, some are stomps some aren't, very different every time. CWarfare is quite brilliant considering it's in beta, I PUG drop in CW and we win a lot against premades.

Can you please explain the 'cheats', oh yeah thought not.

"Can' wait to see negative reviews on steam" this is just a disgraceful negative TROLL post. Go back and crawl under your rock, we don't need people like you here, be constructive with your criticism or sod off...

Nice barking Fanboi ... and for the cheats: try google and facebook (won't take long)

then it should be very easy for you to say what they are.

I do have noticed a decrease of active names and people who got a refund. But i do see new players coming along. So not sure what to make out of it.

Also the idling base got decreased alot.

Actually, my comment was fairly precisely aimed at founders.

You know.. The guys that funded the game up to the point some feature they didnt like showed up(3pv), or was implemented in an unapproved way(ghost heat), then ****** off to the island, in a desperate attempt to control the game via terrorism.

Learn to read.

Your outrage is both delightful and delicious.

Well, they spent top $ and eventually left. I spent a little less, and I'm still here. So if they can walk away from a $120 (IIRC) investment... they are more whimsical than I am.
