Count me in... the ole HBK-4G(F) and I will be stomping hard this weekend!
Thanks for the special event, PGI!

[Dirk Le Daring]

What's wrong with Alpine ? It's a great map.

[Repasy Cooper]

Destructible terrain/building features? That would be very cool.

I have a strong desire to blast the footing out from beneath my enemies, like that poor Jenner from the MechWarrior 5 trailer.

[eFTy]

Nice to see the Founders getting a bit of a say in things.

And frakin finally, destructible trees!

"Only Solo matches will be counted for these game modes: Assault, Skirmish, and Conquest" why so much hatred for random queue? by the way, its much simplier to stomp random pugs in CW without ELO with buddies, than stomp random pugs in general queue.

So, founders have to "tolerate" our old favorites for a weekend, and ...

Dude, the HBK-4G(F) is still my favorite mech to pilot and is the most fun for me to use in the public queue. Only mech I ever liked more was the HBK-4P prior to ghost heat. I'm getting bennies for driving something I was already going to use. This sounds awesome to me.

I am sad I tried to join as a founder on a day money was down but am still glad to see this. I do hope this makes the founders feel better as they have been requesting stuff for free for some time and an event like this is exactly that. So good luck to all.

[Monky]

Founders, while I was once among your ranks, I do not envy your task. Those mechs are jankedy except maybe some builds on the Hunchback.

However, you have the opportunity to fix Alpine fo reelz, please, I know we all want reactible objects etc... but we have a map that basically needs to be split into two different maps completely in order to have more than 1 actual strategy on it. It's worse than Terra Therma in terms of stale gameplay. Hear my cry founders, you're my only hope...

[Dracol]

As a founder, I approve of this message. Got the elite package cause I was more fond of the other 4 original 8. So, in honor of this event, time for me to dust off some Commandos, Centurions, Awesomes, and my favorite, Dragons.

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?

There are many flaws in something that was requested a year ago, and promised, but never manifested itself in revising the mechlab to become smurfy-ish, but that didn't occur at about this same time.

To fair, you can play the IGP card here, as I'm sure there were more pressing things at the time (mostly getting the Clan UI design finished for the release of the Clan Packs).

Or put another way...

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

It would be nice if an official response occurred so at least calm down the response. The lack of response tends to portray "nothing is wrong" or "it's probably not happening".

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

No, it's not about enabling user input.. it's actually ACTING on user input. Even back in the UI 2.0 discussion days, the input areas were actually there... in feedback threads. I doubt anyone on either side is actually claiming otherwise.

The difference is how that input is legitimately translated and acted upon within a timely matter (it doesn't have to be next patch immediate - it just has to be accomplished at some point of time, ideally not years later).

Feedback has to be a two-way street... and it should never function as a trashdump (mind you, there's a lot of bad ideas around too, but sometimes that still requires you to read if there is any legitimate points/opinions). So, it's not a matter of just taking feedback, but always been on acting on it and getting a more useful/direct response to it.

[Livewyr]

Oh God, the AC20 HBK(F) will be proliferating.

Might even include mine.

[Palor]

The day my Atlas smashes the silly vine instead of getting stuck on it will be the greatest day in the history of MWO. Also i want to stomp on cars

[Barantor]

*pulls the cloth cover slowly off the old Catapult*

"Hey girl, remember me?"

*starts up the reactor*

"Yeah, just like old times. I know what buttons to push."

*weapons online*

"Want to dance? I think I still know the steps..."

*all systems activated*

"They won't know what hit 'em.."

Nice that Elite Founders can't participate in some aspects of this challenge!

[Threat Doc]

I guess I'll dust off my CPLT-C1(F), see if I can amp her up a bit, new paint job, maybe, new camo, and see if I can get a tune out of that old, and terribly underwhelming, trombone.

PGI, I offer my thanks for not forgetting about us founders; however, you need to understand that the only reason I am still here is because of friends I haven't seen in years and am hoping to spend more time with in-game. Fortunately, Mom lives in another state altogether, so a short phone call should do well, but you really need to offer better incentives, such as giving the Founder's Catapult three missile slots in each arm, rather than one, and move the Center Torso energy slots to the right and left torso's, like they should be in the first place. That might actually make the C-1(F) useful, and would be a real reward for those of us who've purchased one.

We would still have weight and critical slot limitations to worry over, so adding the extra missiles slots would simply allow us to save a bit of weight and add more firepower to actually make it useful to play the 'Mech, which I haven't dusted off in quite some time. Otherwise, it's pretty useless.

Thanks.

What are you talking about... I'm an Elite Founder and I have a 'Mech. All Founders got at least a Jenner out of this.

Title: "Calling ALL Founders"

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

I know you mean veteran founders, but I feel the same way. The rules should be founders using a founders variant so we are all included. I have never stopped playing this game and even bought the Urbie $40 package, but get left out of something like this. Just another example of PGI forgetting about those that got them there.

Rest assured I will not vote for Alpine to be touched, much less have it reduced in size. I like Alpine. Let the scrubs and their like-minded lemmings go to Derp Hill. I will just continue to kill them from somewhere else.

[N0MAD]

LOL.
After seeing this umm challenge i logged onto our TS where i told my mates about it, about a dozen or so are Founders, telling them that if certain criteria was met they would have a say in some development via a poll.
First statement i got and was echoed was... " Is one of the options ..get rid of PGI.." as my answer was no, well, none will be participating..

Veteran founders did not get a mech.

He means Veteran Founders. The ones with the Blue Banner.
