I am looking forward to some major announcements during and post Steam launch or I will be disappointed really.

Two sure things coming very soon are decals and 4 v 4. Both are awesome additions. I hope for some other content announcements though as well.

Honestly I want to be able to walk around the mechbay at the very least like Star Citizen has. That not to hard to add I think. Anything less will not bring the kind of new features that are needed for Mechwarrior Online.

Also pilot character creation.

And no, I recently checked out Star Citizen and its far from ready to be played.

It every bit the arena shooter this one is but with space ships. *shrug*

More to come. And joystick absolutely required.

My completely unreasonable hope is they are resetting it and installing the Wave 3 stuff that's been promised for so long....

Was hoping the same. I'm sorry to bring the news...

Perhaps since the announcement steam users are checking us out and they didn't want them to see the map so lopsided and wrongly entice people to play Clans/Davion only?

IMHO they should still follow the lore invasion waves for contested planets first....

They could have just reset the map right before the steam release....

[MechWarrior5152251]

They probably want to monetize mech bays and do not want you farming up the free ones through CW.

[Arctourus]

experience the invasion? Assuming that all of this prep they are doing for the "Steam crowd" as we like to call it means that the "Steam crowd" are new players, why would they even be NEAR CW? The wait times, complexity and general lack of fun do the the high degree of competitiveness should mean they are locked out for their own good.....

Be nice if a phase "that matters" can make it relevant and not pointless.

Russ Said on Twitter that he wanted a Fresh CW map for all the new players that were going to be joining the fight.

Oh wow... i almost want to drop in cw on the tenth to see that.

but I don't think these 3 days will entirely change the map, and when it launches WITH steam, the truly new steam players will anyways not have a prper dropdeck to truly make a difference.

If anything I fear they see clanner terrain being very small and make them join a "strong" faction which probably floods more newbies to the Houses.

You can think that all you want...i enjoy freethinkers.

But, Russ has said this 4 or 5 times, in Town Halls, Twitter, Etc.

I'm just reiterating what I heard like 3 or 4 times already.

Thats what they did...

So you wanted Tukayyid in the middle of the week? Starting Monday and ending Wed night?

Because thats the options we had....They started it on a Friday and ended on a Sunday so everyone had the best chance to play some. Then instead of letting people take planets for 3 days (which is stupid) and then taking it all back again Thursday, creating more whine, more qq and more problems, they just left it on cooldown.

I dont see the issue....literally tomorrow you can play again.

Might do that again, but one last Tukayyid to give us closure?

Spoiler alert but as a guess only I think its being added like any day now maybe. I think its a game changer and is way more awesome than most think it will be. A whole different pace to this game for one. It is almost getting into duel territory for another. It adds a whole new dimension to the Star Map for another.

But like my reply above says, MechWarrior Online is completely ignoring the warrior part of the games name and its getting to be a very long time to ignore such a huge part of any half feature complete game

Half feature complete? I think you're being too generous.

Coming soon: Invasion 3..."this time the IS might win!!"

Why else would they be resetting the map three times, while giving the Clans another round of nerf batting? They intentionally want the IS to win!!!

What would be great imo for CW is longer attack cycles between ceasefire, planetary information, bonusses for planets with lore-specific location of mech production (c-bill bonus) or lore specific strategic locations (loyalty boost).

This three things are not complex programming stuff, just easy but time intensive writeing. Should have been in since day one.

Why even have ceasefires? Why should planets not just automatically flip after a pre-defined length of time once some conquest percentage is reached?

Of course, I'd rather they just build something better.
