so you will just implement GREAT disbalance patch, remove quirks, release 16 new mechs in 1 day, which will be disbalanced even more, and in the middle you release STEAM ?

OU. MY. GOD.




Sarlic, you knew this info a few days ago, didnt you ?
i just cant believe, they will release it in moment when they totaly break balance in the game.....

thats just..... beyond.

They are thinking that the bittervets and steam punks will start off from an equal footing with the balance changes...

Mod squads will be out in full force.

The seal clubbing will be glorious..

I joined may 2015. till yesteraday, i saw, they are trying to balance something/weapons/modes/game.
And then i see 10.12. steam + rebalance patch + 16 new mechs in 1 day. This will break every work done on MWO.
Why, just why ?

They need the influx of cash I guess to stay open.

[Speedy Plysitkos]

but why they are making it , when the disbalance patch is curently introduced ? why are they making it when they release 16 mechs in 1 day, which didnt happen in whole 3 yrs ?

i personaly think, it will break everything we know about MWO, and in the middle, steam newbies.

I was alawys thinking steam release will bring shitstorm on forum, but i never thought, it will be in the same moment, where old vets, make their own personal war against rebalance changes.

Nobody on earth can imagine, what will happen during december but im guessing HUGE QQ from vets.

You can't probably release on steam in just any day (might be wrong on this though).
The date chosen is clearly set to be just before christmas, which is, as everyone knows, one of the best commercial periods of the year.
Is the game ready? Probably not, but it is what it is, and i've seen worse games go on steam and have some amount of success.

I'll be here, supporting and helping the steam newbs when they come rolling in.

Last year 24 Clan mechs (8 chassis) were released in one day...

[Speedy Plysitkos]

I rly hope, it will bring some new youngblood (which will stay more then 2 moths at least).

But what is totaly out of control is the game rebalance thing + 16 new mechs.

ah, k, what was the balance in that day, everything was ok ?

[Darian DelFord]

This is being done as yet another money grab. 2 weeks before christamas. All the newbs are going to seehow OP the IIc mechs are and want to buy them. Mark my words, they will have a special that day of mech packs.

Well it was the introduction of the Clan mechs, so it was a right mess regardless of the number the were released. Unfortunately the nerfs that hit the Clanners after that only served to further hurt the 'weaker' mechs. It will probably be a mess again when the IICs release with their customisation, but we'll see.

I didnt knew the exact date, but it made sense that when Russ said that they have made a fixed date that it would be either before Christmas (First weeks of December) and or Q1 of 2016.

I wasnt the only one who predicted this. There were others. But it doenst take much thinking to see what's the best suiting time to bring the game to Steam.

New players don't know the history. Some olders player do know but have chosen not the part of it any longer. And finally some vets still keep on playing because of the base game. My thoughts: They're hoping new players will bring a fresh sack of money to put in this game then continue to crank out the same minimal viable product untill the license runs out. I personally don't think they will close shop -although the signs are there if you have taken a look of other similar games- but they want just a bigger revenue. Big gamble and a big risk. Losing a few big gold whiles while you get thousands of potential buying customers in return.

Everyone have different thoughts and opinions on the game. But i just cant really understand why older vets still keep on spending money on this game as i have expressed my thoughts of why you should put question marks at the guys who came up with a ghost laser lock in the first place.

Althought canned, still doenst go away that they came up with this rediculous idea in the first place.

Ghost... Laser... Lock... Kek...

rebalance patch will bring TONS of small issues like ...

EXPAND ALL button - how long is it 2 month ? 3 month old issue ? PGI ISNT CAPABLE of solving such banalities.
same for clicking orange spam on home screen.

you know what will happen to steam newbies ? They login to game, play 1 single match on frozen, get demolished within 10 seconds.
Then they discover bugs, like expand all/orange spam on main screen.

what will they do ? IMMEDIATELLY uninstall. and they will wrote reviews on metacritics.

did you see how "good" is there FO4 ? 49%.

MWO will get there barely over 25%.

[Ascaloth]

When it hits Steam I'll be running around on my Tier 4 alt, seal-clubbing like a boss

Just kidding, I'm a cool guy and I'll be glad to help new wallets people.

Sorry, Early adopter of all packs through Wave 3. When were 8 chassis released on the same day?

I will not begrudge PGI from trying to make money. They are, after all, a business and not a charity.

People will help new players. But at the same time warn them for how things goes around here.
I don't see veterans here going nuts and crazy on new players. They have no reason to do so.

Even when people sealclub greenies. They'll help. I have done it plenty of times.

Instead they vent their frustations against PGI by questioning why they brought this mess and advice new players either to keep your money in your pockets or pay up when you enjoy the game. It's a good and valid reason to complain about PGI for the mess they brought. New players cant help it that PGI decided based on a napkin found on someone's desk that they planned the launch on December the 10th.

All what people can do is to explain how this freemium works and then let them decide what to do.

WUT? No PGI signed the death warrant.

If beating the crap out of noobs helps that i might have to patch and do my due diligence.
