Can't you just be thankful you have people to fund the game for you?

are you some kinda moron who can't tell what founders tags are?

I have funded the game, i've bought founder packs, full wave 1 and 2 packs, resistance packs, so who the flark are you saying I should be thankful to have people fund the game for me?

Do a little research before coming off as a fool, oh wait you already have come across like that now.


How does that work in with your insight now? I'm on of those buying the packs thats saying it's behind a paywall.

I"m sorry if thats letting out some secret that us paying customers aren't suppose to speak about, it's behind a paywall, i know it, you know it, just i'm speaking up about it

And you wanna know the funny part? They may have added negative quirks to the Timber, but when it comes to my 7 med pulse build, that I have on both it and the ebon, I'm still preferential to the Timber, because it still cools down faster, despite having the exact same heat efficiency.

Not only that, it takes more punishment.


what are u going on about?

i'm not talking about ANY mech in particular, for anyone who has thought that than u really have only read what u wanted and the urge to post have overwhelm you.

He has the time to sit and troll people, but he can't be bothered to check his grammar.

The excessive use of "u" instead of "you" is just... Mind boggling, to say the least...

Waa. Waa. Waa.



Waaaaaaa.




The way I see it, I'm helping support an awesome game every time I buy a mech pack.

I bought that silly $40 urbie pack. That's a lot of money to spend on a light that by most opinions SUCKS outside of TT games, but I bought it anyways. It certainly was NOT for the purpose of 'lording' over people, but because when I saw it I was like "Holy $#@! I love this new content they've been releasing this year so f it, I'm buying this $#@! mech!"



Come on now, listen to Jay-Jay or u be cray-cray!

Kes, it's a lame rant that someone is spending money while someone else isn't, can't, or won't.

Take care Kes, cyas on the field!

An yet another fool who thinks i'm having a cry i'm missing out when i have all these mechs and i'm saying, hey the game needs to sell packs on merits, not some thinly vielled disguised paywall that i'm only now willing to acknowledge.

anmyone who is shouting me down to speaking up to have a product sold on merit and value than some paywall is obviosuly still caught up in needing to have a leg up.

These same people will likely also say having a mod config file isn't leg up also.

Dude, I suggest you can the name calling, or you'll have a lot more to worry about than "Pay 2 Win" or "Pay 4 Power". You'll have to worry about people reporting you and PGI dropping sanctions on you.


name calling by using the word moron?

moron
ˈmɔːrɒn/
noun
informal
noun: moron; plural noun: morons
a stupid person.

please explain how using the definition of a stupid person


definition

noun

1.
a statement of the exact meaning of a word, especially in a dictionary

is not using the word correctly and with correct intent? Thus isn't the meaning of using words to concisely put across a thought or feeling? Therefore i stand by my word and those who find slight in such language need to stop being so sensitive. It's a word used in it's correct format.

It was kind of a general statement to people who complain about paywalls.

No, I'm not a moron. I'm smarter than you actually, I know that because I don't make stupid threads like this one.

It's a word being used to attack and/or insult a person and/or multiple persons. The fact that you are using the word correctly is irrelevant, as I'm quite certain the forums have rules against such conduct.

So go ahead and keep throwing it around, you're only inviting the trouble that will eventually reach you. I tried warning you, and you were having none of it.

I bid you good day sir, and may god have mercy on your soul.

There Sold based on a early use bases.. as I had said in a *ahem* deleted post. I don't find anything in Wave II or Wave III (I focused on Wave III) Over powered.

And they took a Sledge hammer to Wave I Mechs.


your point about comparing mechs and the value of them has not context with mechs being behind a paywall or not.

In it's current context there are many mechs behind a paywall. Look at the 1st Event PGI ran it was completel;y behind a paywall. If u didn't have an illaiyd or whatever it's name is called or a hero victor u have no use for the team.

The Dragonslayer was hands down a paywall mech and still is just with quirks and such people have forgetten to remember how it was with it's dead shield side.

An the point i'm saying is mechs are OP. If you think the Artic Cheetahs isn't gonna pawn then you are mis guided.

Though i desgress.

My point and topic is, and if you don't bloody like then u don't have to bloody post or read or respond but you do therefore if you can't keep on topic i'll delete the threads.

So you post wasn't deleted i deleted the whole thread as people like yourself keep getting side tracked and want to discuss mechs and which is better. I DIDN'T give a flying flark about


The Topic is, Should PGI be selling mech packs on merit and value rather than some early access programme that is really just a thinly disguised paywall.

I highly doubt anyone wants to attempt a discussion with you after you run around calling people morons and pissing over anyone else's point of view that doesn't match with yours.

What agruement was that, some deluded comparisons about mechs when i've stated like idk, maybe 6 times now it's not about mechs but the value of the packs compared to early access being a thinly vielled paywall?

maybe there was a very good reason i ignore it and i didn't make a compare this mech to mech thread so who exactly is the idiot now?

but please go on tell me again how the ebon jaguar is a jaggermech again, please do go on i am so interested now.

go away pest, you are a fool if you think any of your responses have any meaning or weight.

Perhaps u need to have a shot of concrete and harden the flark up. Using the word as intended is how words are used, sorry if in your word, you feel insulted to use the word moron and fool. you should look them up and then maybe you won't be offended by words used in there correct context.

Easy, your initial argument is, as you state, "pay 4 power" which, is of course, easily disputed by my argument when I tell you that any of these above mentioned mechs, and more, can do the same thing that the only two NON CBILL READY MECHS can do, with the exception of MASC.

or do you not comprehend that?

How is it even "Pay 4 Power" when the vast majority of released mechs are deemed DOA? There have only been a few mechs released since Beta that have been head and shoulders above previous mechs. Since all mechs are released the same way, how can the method of early access be "Power" if most of the mechs released are "meh" or DOA?

MWO is only "pay 4 access", some mechs are inherently more advantageous than others, but that's not PGIs doing, it's based of the merit of the chassis' specs.

Is anyone really suggesting the Timberwolf should have only been released for C-bills?

In terms of Powercreep, we can't ignore that mechs generally got better from 3025 on, if not, at least 3050 on. It's the nature of war and tech races...is anyone suggesting PGI should only release mechs from increasingly earlier periods of BT history, or only release less effective mechs from 3050 on?

Powercreep is the natural progression, evolve, keep up or fall behind stomping your foot because war doesn't care about you. Go ahead, be that military official who insisted on ignoring the importance of new tech and new tactics because you want to snug in the comfort of the last war, the current roles you understand, the tactics that have served you well to this point. Be the guy who snubbed aircraft, submarines, aircraft carriers, tank vs tank tactics. The battlefield and the history books are littered with the failings of military meh afraid to embrace the future.

Wow!... Ok then. OP needs to have a time out before he has a stroke. Relax, this rage ain't healthy. Then again, I think you have this idea that being this forceful somehow strengthens your opinion.

Anyway, I like Fup's idea a bit, but even releasing an exclusive mech for inflated C-Bills at time of a MC launch isn't perfect. People could still make a valid argument that only people who pay for Premium Time or Hero mechs could be able to generate the additional C-Bills necessary to purchase that new exclusive mech. It still doesn't completely deal with the issue.

Overall though the new mechs launching behind a pay wall aren't a guaranteed better mech than what is out now for C-Bills. I do feel they are intended to be equal, but often their strengths or weaknesses aren't known until they are out being tested in the game in numbers post launch. With the TW and SCR it did happen, but we have a lot of mechs in this game, and there are many more examples of when this didn't happen. We just won't find as many clan examples because we don't have as many clan mechs.
