Even if you are a loyalist, you can pay C-Bills to clear your contract, FYI

Lol i was on a 30 day contract... but then i got a unit invite.

Made it to Assistant Force Leader, but Liao pop is dead.

Jesus.

Even I found the interactions in this thread a tad salty and hostile.

It is a button in the reply options where you can add it. Same as if you want to bold, italicize, or underline.


Fail, asking a question you already know since you have first hand experience.

It also works by just putting tm in parenthesis ™.

Also...

This thread started out as a "yay, patch notes today" and now it's drowning in salt.. WTF people?? Give SD a break....

A certain someone had a salty moment, but thats okay, because we know that he is, and we got a free laugh out of it.

Well.. to be fair, "squeeing" about patch notes and generally being excited [about "new" "content"] does tend to bring out the bittervets.
And bringing out the bittervets tends to bring out the White Knights.

Bittervets and White Knights mix into what you see here. (Both have points, and both cannot stand the others' points.)

I am a White Knight I guess. Been defending PGI for over $2600 now. This thread wasn't about PGI though, it was about patch notes... Guess anyone will step up on the soapbox, even if it's not their soapbox....

What about Alex and patch notes isn't PGI?

(I'm not even trying to troll or be sarcastic- I'm interested in your thinking in that statement.

I've been meaning to ask, how do you type the TM like that? Copy paste, or some lostech keyboard stuff?

If you have a numpad, the Alt-key code is 0153

That is, HOLD ALT, enter 0153

others include arrows, along with a whole plethora is symbols...but Soon™ is the important one

"Let's send this thread to K-Town!" *proceeds to violate the CoC*

You are not a moderator. In my opinion, and backed be experience as a mod, people who post like that statement above should have their accounts cited and posting abilities blocked for part of a business day. If you think a thread contains poor content, then you can report it for CoC violation. If you bump it with garbage like posted above, then you should be sanctioned.

--------------

I am happy to hear the announcement of the patch notes. Recently they have been early, on occasion 24+ hours in advance, so not hearing anything about it until now left many people guessing. I will look forward to it later tonight.

Thanks for echoing the news. No thanks to everyone who salted the thread with your unwanted presence.

Okay then. Seeing how it had gotten to personal attacks, I was making a joke. So sorry. Forgot that humor isn't allowed on any forum, ever.

To be reasonable, I didn't insult him at all, maybe a bit with the "Carry on" at the end, but it was uncalled for, and you know that, everyone knows that, I know that. To sate your reason for how or what a moderator should say to those that insult him, I'll remove my post, and a few others, just for you.

Oh, and I don't think you know how bad it got awhile ago, with the various Derailing and fights from various threads and having to deal with the trolls, the angry, and the ugly.


Anyhow, you're welcome, I was going to look for a thread on it here, but there were none, so, decided to make one, and the Salt? Caused by someone who insults someone straight up without any backup evidence for doing so.

Clearly, Scout Derek should move his own thread to K-Town.

I really am excited to see what this patch contains. Terribly so. Disappointed by my failings at doing CW lately.

There would be a reason to play a loyalist faction if we had the following:
1:Specific decals you could only use if you had a rank of said faction to unlock and then purchase them, losing that function if you change faction.
2: Faction specific mech variants being unlocked for loyalist and satisfying rank.
3: Camo.
4: Vanity items and horns.

I don't see any of the above happening because PGI needs the money back spent on creating the items, not putting them in a game as a feature incentive that has to be earned and satisfy game requirements.

It's pretty sad actually. I think giving a drastically increased reason to settle as a Loyalist will help solve some of the map problems with large units jumping around all the time. It's safe to say that the "idea" of CW doesn't really fit in with the current incarnation we have or our expectations.

Soon, Alex is working hard to write them for us, they should be here in about, maybe, the end of the day, which is around 2-8 hours(?)


Also, should let him know he does a lot writing them out. Props to him! (they are long you know, and paraphrasing some of this is difficult at times).

I hope they are not like the April Fools patch notes. Considering CW 3 is coming in tomorrow we could see some major issues.

It's been a bit, I haven't even said what I'm excited or hopeful about in this patch.

Here's a list:

• PPC Buffs.
  
• Requirking (Please give IIC quirks, Orion IIC and Lowlander IIC!
  
• Client side zoom (for those that play in Oceanic Servers or the furthest server away from where they live)
  
• Domination changes (God knows we need this)
  
• Phase 3 fluff and stuff​

Yeah, It's a given, considering how much content CW will be given when the patch comes. Probably going to have a glitch in awards, or game modes, etc, but, that's the way the world spins, doesn't spin right up, it spins on it's side.

I'm quite whelmed by the PPC buffs to be honest. The velocity buff is appreciated but quite honestly doesn't go far enough to restore them to their former glory. Not poptart meta glory, but atleast to something good. -.5 heat is a negligible difference for standard PPCs which should be at 8 or 9 heat, IMO. I would've given them 1,500 M/S velocity, 1,600 or more for ER PPCs.

Client size zoom will be a good quality of life improvement and honestly, who would really hack that for such a negligible advantage? I'm... waiting to see what quirks they change but I'm as optimistic as you are. Don't forget, Russ promised to buff LBX by reducing their spread. Hopefully by more than 5%!

How're you btw, Derek?

-.75 Heat would be good, but that's the farthest I would go to - gen heat for them. I'm hopeful for LBX buff, I can wreck even more havock with my LB Dire Wolf, and make some builds viable for once.

And how I'm doing? I could be better, with the work slapping on beautiful large sectors to Survey and people to argue with on whether it's legal or not to build a building near the tracks on old property lines. And you?
