Title: "Calling ALL Founders"

Elite Founders didn't get mechs, so it isn't really calling them all now is it?


A snappier title might have been "Founders Keepers".

Far as the event, I suppose this means I'll be getting my founder mechs out and actually playing this weekend. What's nice is this doesn't sound like a meta-mongering scheme so I'm likely to actually have some fun playing builds that I want to play rather than builds dictated by super quirk enhancements or meta.

Really wished I could have given PGI my money instead of having IGP pretty much screw everyone else in MWT over.

MWT's fate saddened me as well, it was a good concept but its limitation to Mechs and small maps/limitations made it kinda feel...hard to say. I'd like to imagine Megamek with 3D, but I know MWT hadn't reached near that before IGP went under.

(Edit: Slapped on the badge of honor.)

I think this is a sad plea to Founders. I mean, they should be playing the game, but aren't for many/various (and generally legitimate) reasons... so while I don't necessarily care (I'm not a Founder, so I have no say), this feels sad.

Plus, this is happening during Mother's Day weekend... which feels somewhat inappropriate/bad.

I would've like to have seen MORE Founders stick around than those that are only dedicated to this game.


Nonsense.

You are unparalleled in your ability to see the negative. PGI hands an unprecedented amount of design input to one of the most loudly requested fix categories in the game, and this is your response?

Or put another way...

*PGI ignores/delays community input for years*..........."They don't care about us or the game!!!"

*PGI starts changing policy and enacting user input*..........."Oh, they're just desperate."

*runs to the dark corner of the Union Dropship to find founder's atlas*
"Hey, Rust bucket, wake up!"

*atlas wakes up from long sleep*
"Ugh, what is it? Gonna remove more of my weapons again for your king crabs?!"

*points out challenge*
"wanna go at it like old times?"

*atlas shows confused face*
"you serious, no gimmicks and insults about the rust?"

*nods*

*atlas rears up and goes krogan*
"..............bring it on"

I just noticed something ... I'd much rather have 2M CB than a cockpit trinket ... are the leaderboard awards cumulative (i.e.: the top 5 get a trinket, 2M CB, some GXP, and some consumables)?

Does this mean that we can, finally, knock down the damned trees that fill the entire cockpit view with opaque low res sh*t?

Not quite sure if anyone else will agree, but I think The Founders should have a more direct and non-restrictive say far more often on more diverse elements within the game that have serious implications on the future of the game.

Just my opinion.


I disagree. If they are going to give the community some say then it should be the community. Why should some people who paid $30-$120 years ago get a say but people that have spent far more later on not get a say?

So, I'm a founder but i didn't get a founder pack that included a mech. I get that i can't count any of my kills to the over all event, but do i get the founders rewards for the personal goals?

This is really cool. Kudos to PGI for handling this very well.

I wish I was a Founder. Discovered the game a few months too late :(


Me too bro. Such feels. :(
