I heard a strange armor plate with "MERCS LIAN" label was found in the grounds of Tukayyid. Great minds of NAIS are still figuring out who were that strange mercenary group and what the hell does the "lian" mean.

I heard it was a raging case of crabs. Maybe the communications were garbled.

Needs settled by cage match and a rusty kitchen knife. Foot long leather strap attaching you both at the left wrist.

Then Star Trek fight music.

Okay so set up another roundtable and drop actual truth bombs and right the ship.

I listened to that January CW roundtable and it was pretty bad. I would have rather listened to Russ talk about buckets for an hour. Even Dane thought it was bad...and he was there.

You don't need to give them any specifics. Just tell them everything after mid 2015 is a catastrophe. Tell them as a player with no junior or senior level game design skills you cant fix it and depend of them to figure it out.

They actually think they have a solid base per that last roundtable. Talk about a false sense of confidence......

News Flash! Russ has listened! Effective next patch MWO moves to a brand new custom engine. MWO will have 20 new maps next patch. MWO will have a custom map contest each month with the winning map moved to rotation. Harmony Gold has renounced all rights to any FASA mechs, art or concepts. The phase 4 CW will be relased next patch and will contain rolling maps, planets with value, balanced drop decks, accurate weapons, anti-cheating protocols that will explode the users computer and shoot their dog. -MS- is reforming and everyone who ever was a member is rejoining!


Wait, this is a rumor thread. Not a batsh**t crazy thread.

To be honest I think most of what you are saying is delusional.....the last roundtable was about fixing the biggest problems that our current game that we had and loved and were playing had..... not some pie in the sky utopia that will take 2 and 1/2 years to implement and can be gamed like the old -MS- used to.....don't forget I was on the inside I know how we gamed the system that we had.......this may not be perfect but don't let the perfect solution get in the way of a good solution.....also it's easy to talk for someone who is talking for themselves.....you can express 20 things that need fixing expecting everything to get fixed in which case nothing will get fixed......express the biggest problem out there for you and see if the public agrees if not then move on to the next biggest problem. If you actually worked in the software development industry (like I do) you might understand that.

Oh wait forgot this was a rumors thread......

I heard tony will quit the game 3 months after restarting -MS-

Yeah, but I heard he was coming back to usurp your power and divide MercStar, making MercStar-in-Exile!

Well, we know what happened the last time a megalomaniac returned from a lengthy and mysterious absence...

Actually it originated on an original Star Trek episode but has been referenced a few times.

Speaking of Michael Jackson and MS rumors, I heard Antonius Rex was going to get MJ to make a MS fight song, but it was so expensive the only way he could pay for it would be to shut the unit down and cash out the cbill coffers.....

I was on the inside too and you were ultra white knighting as hard as you could for PGI on how "they are doing everything we asked for guys". All this while ignoring the warning signs of what CW would clearly become when the "fix" patch hit.

You have zero credibility and don't even belong in PGI roundtables. The community at large shouldn't allow it if it had any sense left. You are just riding on the fumes of the old Mercstar.

Did the MS snake die when the head severed itself, or when the body was expunged?


Did the original MS die when Antonios quit on May 20?

PGI let phase 2 drag on too long, about 4-6 months too long, and then essentially ruined it with phase 3. Phase 2 was good, but it was still somewhat a skeleton of what they claimed they could do. They then let it fester in the squalor of phase 3 for another 8 months or so. We saw phase 4 as a total retreat into a glorified play now queue.

This is why I joke that we need to do a system restore back to mid 2015 and go from there.

Once Antonius Rex and a big chunk of our officer core was gone it was the beginning of the end for -MS-. Maybe that was PGI's plan, maybe they are just this bad at making CW, who knows.

PGI couldn't make the CW more perfect for players such as myself.
Novice players tempted by mechbays and other tournament rewards willingly lining up to be farmed.
Instant matchmaking, unlike solo & group queue.
4x less bathroom breaks for your teammates compared to group queue.
More maps to play on, and the ability to take appropriate mechs before you drop.

It truly is the end game for MWO. And a great way to fill your mechbays, earning 1.5+ million C-bills per match.

Maybe it's not as great as the golden days of 8man vs PUG in open beta, but I'll take it.
