I have heard of this phase 3:

Three-phase electric power is a common method of alternating-current electric power generation, transmission, and distribution. It is a type of polyphase system and is the most common method used by electrical grids worldwide to transfer power. It is also used to power large motors and other heavy loads.

Perhaps Paul when he mentions a bus is referring to the team at PGI tying Russ up to a power bus and running three phase power through his body until he agrees to give us real CW?

Maybe not

New mech pack anyone?

I could swear that Russ or Paul said something about the 4v4 CW being ready, but they were delaying launching / releasing it for some reason.

Anyone know where they posted that? Twitter / Ask the Dev / etc?

Seriously annoyed their community person cant even keep all their communications in an easy to find spot.

Agreed, it's one of my peevs that there is more info (and Russ spends more time) on twitter/redditt/instagram than on their/his own website.

OK so the town hall hasn't completely waylade my fears/angst over (the mode soon to be formerly known as) Community Warfare.......but there was enough in there to make me think they (PGI) have at least listened (mostly) to some of the intelligent suggestions.

Heres what I picked up on myself, it was a quick rerun while getting ready for work tonight, so I may have missed or misheard something.

1. "Career and contracts" sounds somewhat similar to my suggestion to differentiate between Lone Wolves, Mercs and Loyalists. I like this and the way it sounds like the Call-to-arms system will work for each group of players should have benefits for each.

2. I don't think MC rewards for holding planets is a good idea, better to stick to CBill rewards and keep the mode "free" so to speak. Opening the door to real money rewards could lead to real money costs and a slippery slope to "pay2win" situations.

3. I predict the 4vs4 Scouting queues will be awash with games and the Invasion queue will be pretty quiet, especially for the first few weeks. It will be new and shiny and we all know what happens with new and shiny..... I have the feeling units will need to self police their groups to let everyone get a chance to play in the new queues and still maintain a presence in the Invasion queues to make it worthwhile.

4. No solid statement on when it will all drop, reading between the lines a hope of January but possibly upto April. The big kid in me wants it next week but the mature adult realises this is a fair estimate.

There was more but I need to go back to work..... Russ, Paul and co. as promised one top tier Whammy pack and Hero has been purchased for myself. Just don't leave us hanging to next November

Admitedly when I heard him humming and hawing I rolled my eyes and shook my head but then I thought about it and the way he worded it. It sounds like he WANTS to give us a date but going from past experience of missed "deadlines" he has to give himself wiggle room, just think back to the reactions over previous missed dates and the amount of venom that has been aimed at PGI in the past. I can't be too critical of him wanting to cover his backside a little.

It's still a case of "wait and see", hopefully my small contribution to the kitty helps them along and shows that I am not totally dry of faith..... yet.

This is something I can totally understand..
