Plans finally starting to finalize on a phase 3 for CW. Thinking of hosting a Town Hall sometime fairly soon to discuss it.

Feel free to demand he press the READY button.

Wait what happened to phase 2? Did I miss it, or was it so minor I thought it was bug fixes?

Phase one was unit creation and faction tab. Phase two is the actual CW Beta.

I have no idea whats in it but I can dream of economic repercussions, strategic planetary reinforcement, and the need for units to actually pay for their dropships an jumpships. Things like unit locations on the map, with only so many jumps allowed per day for a unit.

They're hiring Gameloft to develop a BattleTechVille phone game to handle the reconstruction effort on captured planets.

Ah yes, I forgot unit creation and faction tab was technically phase one.

Shut your mouth, someone might hear you.

Well I don't know what Phase 3 is supposed to be, but I bet you it'll hurt.

If the App was only available to people with MWO game-time that would be a great concept.

It would be something, I could play at work, or on the toilet.

where all zynga products belong... seriously though, while a great MW mobile app would be amazeballs and destroy my life, I'll just keep hoping for an expanded cw (which likely includes the new scouting missions).

[Argann]

Something like Xbox's Smart glass, as a companion app to the game would be great. I wish PGI had more resources.

New on Facebook! Mekville!

The last Podcast didnt really have alot of future game update info. Would be great to have some sneak peak info or what ever.

A new devlog would be nice also.

Not alot to do in game between matches at the moment or while waiting for queue.....

What's funny is that originally, back in December 2013 when the gold mechs dropped, Phase 1 was going to be private lobbies, unit creation and faction tab were actually Phase 2, and the beta was Phase 3.

So this should be...Phase 4...

Or while you wait to drop in CW.

I think the best question for Russ's townhall would be to ask him if them releasing the next phase means that they are done with the current phase with its broken attack corridors etc.

Though if the next phase actually attempts to incentivize faction balancing though more than the weak as hell match win contract bonus I would be impressed.

They are trying to figure out why the algorithm gets wonky. beta means beta, but doesn't mean they stop working on stuff.

With the dev pace of this game... sometimes you have to wonder.

I mean seriously, how many things that were ment to be placeholder have taken root and just ARE?

How many things we were told would change before beta ended, and are still here?

Yeah... I think PGI has a wonky idea of what beta is supposed to be.

correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't we also supposed to have lobbies for the pug queue as well? along with map voting and a few other features?

[CHH Badkarma]

Phase 3, not letting paul cherry pick planets available for attack

and then I woke up...
