This game was released as a minimally viable product, 2 years later it is still a minimally viable product with more mechs. I think it is time to aim a little higher.

PGI makes millions off this game, I think they can afford to hire more help.

It just takes so long to do even the smallest thing. Its almost the same exact game that we had in closed beta, just with more mechs and the same bugs.

8) Chat Ability While Que Searches This seriously pisses me off more than anything. Not being able to reply to someones message just as our Unit Drops or Party Drops and you accidently hit enter after you finish typing and it cancles the drop. You should be able to talk all the way up to the point your party loads into the map.

This needs to happen too. The wait times are so damn long, and there's no reason why chat can't happen while waiting.
Heck, there's not really any reason why we can't also navigate and view our mechs too, though outfitting them shouldn't be allowed as you could lose your save progress at any minute.

I laughed when I read this, not cuz its funny but because you are right and its so damn rediculous.

Obivously you dont play much because I see most of these bugs every time I play, and I usually only play for 1 week a month... Also from your post, you dont care about quality with in-game UI's....You arent really qualified to discuss in-game issues since your bar is set soo low.

Obviously you like to make personal attacks with claims taken out of thin air.

Hes right tho, even without the personal insults, any1 who plays the game more than 2 times a yr would know that these bugs exist. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how fudged up the chat box is. I've also experienced every single chat bug, and experience 2-3 bugs every single match.

PGI either don't play their own game enough, or don't give a damn about it, probably both. Anyone that plays this minimally viable product for more then a few minutes a month would see pretty fast that it's years behind with its chat, lobby systems and friend lists. Industry leaders in half-baked and poorly implemented ideas.

Don't worry though, they're focusing on "fixing" balance and churning out mech packs along with foggy map remakes.

I have seen a written piece that included an interview with Russ. He said that PGI was looking for a product to develop and bought MWO after it was already in progress. The more time passes, the more I come to believe that PGI does not have the technical skills to bring this game up to standards. It was just an investment opportunity, not the life's work of a bunch of Battletech fans/game developers.

It seems that releasing new mech packs still gets dollars to roll in. I think if they ever run out of "official" mechs the game will die, unless the fans can be convinced to accept non-canon mechs. Hell a great move would be to allow the fans to design "All New BattleMechs!"

This makes more sense than anything I read here along with accepting the fact that PGI's ability to create a chat box is lacking in skill. They make so much $ cash from mech packs that they can afford to hire an expert in creating a chat box up to par with 2015's best and most advanced chat systems.

I've also had problems with the text chat in the private lobby. Sometimes, I cant send a message.

[Zultor]

Out of game (in mechlab, etc) chat is one of the features I want to see them add the most. Increasing our enjoyment outside of battles to keep us in the game longer will equal increases players and ultimately increased revenues in my unscientific, layman, ignorant and totally unprofessional opinion.

[CygnusX7]

Its a problem but definitely not rage quit worthy.
All they need to do is add scrolling functionality.

[Master Pain]

Oh look, a new mech to buy. Who needs to fix bugs or improve the quality of things when you can sell more mechs.

Mechs aren't the only entertaining aspect of a mech game, its the connectivity, of friends and being able to team up without anxiety and communicate.

[Master Pain]

I just want to be able to communicate with the randoms in the pug queue without the server eating the message before I can send it.

[Powder Puff Pew Pew]

This forum is soo messed up, It saved the chat to the wrong topic, and sent me to the other topic that was scrapped.

It was such a refresh to see Caustic Valley updated, yet I still have a 1980's Chat Box. Wow, talk about backwards thinking. "The Future Is War". I think they should change their slogan to "1980's Future Chat Wars"

Bumped for truth

[Speedy Plysitkos]

powder is T4 ? (wasnt you higher ?)

if you sometimes cant chat, press esc twice. it will re-enable to chat to be rdy.

[Karamarka]

I havnt been playing much because I have to stay up all night to get good signal. I cant play in the day cuz of my garbage internet >.< ya I know, I had a situation last night where even if I pressed esc, or mashed on the keyboard nothing would happen. It wouldnt let me chat at all. I ended up rage quiting cuz I was so mad.
