Rules of the thread.
1)You must be willing to buy your own pack. Aim for realistic, if you add a joke have a serious answer too.
2) Can't be a Mechpack and it can't have a Hero Mech.

IE:
Treadheads pack:
Includes 12 Player vs Enemy fully voice acted Missions
5 Cockpit Items
5 Warhorns
Early Access to Tank Drops in PUG queue
Includes the Saladin hovercraft and Paladin Artillery battery
10 Early Access Maps
New Game mode City Siege ( includes 10 Tanks +2 Mechs vs 10 tanks +2 mechs)
Infantry AI included
Destructables and New sound
Price $45
all content is early access

Mechwarrior booster pak ™.

Singleplayer campaign.
Mechlab integrated into the base game, rather than on a separate third party site.
Balanced gameplay.
No grab deals.
Player-hosted servers.
Cryengine graphics, features, and tech, such as inverse kinematics, tesselations, long draw distances, destructible environments, big maps, and interactivity.
Gameplay featuring infantry, combat vehicles, aerotech, tanks, mechs, and power armor.

60 dollars, no strings attached.

Single player campaign is the only thing that comes to mind. As a completely separate entity, with no impact on PUG matches or CW. I don't think infantry is realistic at all, I'm just expecting tanks, hovercraft, turrets, mechs, dropships and maybe helicopters.

But I would want the ability to play it offline. Yeah, I know what the O in MWO stands for. But single player experiences don't need to be online. The guys behind the latest SimCity learned that the hard way.

OP, thanks for asking!

My pack would include (for the price of 60 bucks)...

12 - 20 new multiplayer maps with a new ticket-based game mode like Battlefield 1942/Mechwarrior Living Legends

8v8 mode for the standard maps (because 12v12 stinks)

A single player campaign like Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries where the results/playthroughs are variable
(and of course they'd use those maps released for multiplayer)

Some new weapons/tech

And some fixes to gamebreaking issues

No new robits. We have enough robits. We need stuff to use them on!

PLUS: Solaris VI arenas + the new arena mode multiplayer! Best part... it'll cost ya no premium time to use AND... dun dun dun... host your own server support!


That'd be a great 60 bucks well spent. And it'd sell like hotcakes.

[Johnny Z]

- Suppressors for the Inner Sphere auto cannons. OMG the sound is to loud. This or sound changes is a must have some time.

- Pilot quarters/mechbay, customization.

- Pilot and mech customization (mech decals, artillery/airstrike armor etc)

- Dropships and Jumpships possibly?

- Planet sales, maybe they sell some of the outer rim planets on the map???????????

- Lostech that both Clan and IS would want but have to quest for somehow. How to sell the quests in a cool way? Not sure how they would go about that.

- SOLARIS and everything that goes with it.


- Will add more later.

Those are Mechs. XD Referring to my original post. lol

1st person only mechbays to walk around in and check the mechs out! I mean the star citizen guys have been stuck running in circles in their hangars without any other decent game mode for a very long time and they are happy arnt they.

When ever someone comes on this forum saying they hate this game I always assume its a crazed star citizen player that got out of his hangar somehow. lol

Actually, they can do way more things than we can, and their game is still largely in early development. For instance, there was this thing.

I seen it. Not impressed. I see 100's of lrm do a fly by every second match not to mention the strike fighters.

When a huge volley misses nearly and im looking at it I still have nearly the same reaction the guys in the video have after literally 100's of times. lol

The testing grounds idea is great. A public multi player testing/training grounds would be cool even if it was faction oriented with a queue. Realisticly/sim it would possibly be busy. Something along those lines woud be great. I thought they had something like that nearly done like a year ago though.....

When the regular assigned queues are full, players could pay MC or cbills? for their own instance/jump queue and make it public or private to....

I'd buy it for Mr. Fisher! Just add in a warhorn that let's him commentate and so we hear the solaris horn, and it'll be an instant sell for me!

If I have the money, that is.

[Dean]

this sounds very interesting would it be an add on to MWO? ...do you have any more info to share.... would it eventually evolve in to a game like Mechwarrior4 Mercenaries?

[Taffer]

Closed beta graphics!

plot twist: it's a free patch!

I wouldn't mind single player being online if I got the c-bills from playing it to use in multiplayer. and that playing singleplayer gives me xp to use on my other mechs as well. and also help me level up my pilot or award achievements. But if not that, then yeah it's kinda pointless.


My content pack? I think this is pretty realistic. It's a big design change, but should be realistic enough. Also I feel it's realistic because it's something that Mechwarrior -needs-. Mechwarrior's ball of death/rush gameplay is a borefest. And PGI has to step up to this and implement meaningful changes...

• A revamp to how Community Warfare handles players:

Spoiler

Convert Community Warfare planets to individual servers that can hold 64 players.


Each planet can contain up to three separate servers acting as as relief valves to very high populations.
Each planet on a border spins up dynamically based on population (reduces ghost drops, friendly to low population players) Simple click and drop. No need for lobbies or match making.
Ceasefire operates roughly the same, planets closing down 6 hours after they were spun up, and reopen if necessary.
Ceasefires reward extra c-bills, and salvages items from the battle, based on your activity and time spent on that planet.

• A revamp to Community Warfare Game Modes:

Spoiler

Each planet (server) contains Attack/Defend, Assault, Conquest, Skirmish* game modes on a single, comfortable multi-kilometer map when housing 64 players.

"Attack/Defend" is now a handful of capital bases on a map that are difficult to capture, and usually remain untouched for the entire duration of the server battle. Only highly organized units may be able to capture these bases.
These Capital cities facili
"Assault" is now small bases littered across the battlefield; when captured they supply refineries, repair/rearm bays, and infantry fire support. Assault bases may require some support to escort tankers and trucks to Capital cities.
"Conquest" is now clusters of resource collectors across the map; when captured they supply raw minerals and resources that must be taken to "Assault" or Capital bases where they are to be refined for use in spawning tanks and planes.
* "Skirmish" will happen naturally across the map as players are scattered across the battlefield capturing and defending territories and performing other tasks.
New: "Dropship", when captured, these highly armed landing pads, complete with turrets and bunkers provide a safe place for dropships to land and drop off new mechs and players that join the server.

• Additions of house-specific quests, driven by lore. (handling the smaller inter-faction quarrels)
  
• Additions of faction(IS/Clan) specific quests, driven by lore. (handling the larger overarching lore of the conflict between IS and Clans)

Spoiler

I'd like to see players be handed quests to attack X planet, and kill X players for c-bills. Or see quests that require you to create a group of 12 in order to accept, and that group of 12 needs to participate in capturing a Captial base on a planet.

These quests could also spawn the possibilities of merc corps or factionless corps. They earn their rewards solely by accepting quests/contracts that are posted by factions to aid in their. The freedom to play the map comes with the tradeoff of (possibility) less earnings and limited loyalty points. Through merc corps or factionless corps, there could be opportunities to create alliances with factions, earning you loyalty points or increased c-bills per contract with that faction. Accepting quests/contracts from other warring lore-related factions could mean a break of the allied contract, and even meaning that you are blacklisted from receiving contracts from the deceived faction again.
I see merc corps as being a choice that's difficult to maintain, and hard to earn anything with, but if you stick with it and keep your head straight, you could see your hard work get paid off.

• Addition of buildable and operable tanks, and planes. (capital bases only)
  
• Addition of useable and refinable resources to control the pace of building tanks and planes. (conquest and assault "game modes".)
  
• Hire-able AI to drive said tanks/planes:

Spoiler

AI controllable with either waypoints or "follow me", and basic behavior controls (aggressive, passive). Leveling up your pilot also upgrades hirelings, increasing their effectiveness in battle. Skillful human pilots will be able to detect patterns in certain AI pilots behaviors and exploit those to their benefit, but still fatal if ignored. High level AI will have quirks of their own, that human pilots would not have to give them a unique place. AI will never replace skillful humans.

[LordKnightFandragon]

A SP Campaign story line based off the IS Defense against CLan invastion perspective and then as the Clans invading perspective.

A Working salvage system. You can buy a mech as you left it for its Cbill or MC worth as it is when it died.

I would use every map currently in game to do this. Make a multi stage campaign.

You could use Clan mechs or IS mechs in the IS perspective, but Clans would have to be captured.

Mechs on the mission would be random each time. So changed up enemies each round.
