Hello!

Is there anything new that might get me hooked to start playing again?

I'm asking because back in December I got bored due to lack of content and the same old repetition that kept going.
I also have limited time, 3-4 nights a week for about 2-3 maybe max 4 hours of gameplay/night so i don't wanna waste a night just to get the game reinstalled and then find out that nothings changed. (and get dissapointed)

So if there is no significant new content I'l just whip out my old Mech CD-s to satisfy my itch for blowing up CT-s.

Thank you!

Only thing that keeps this game fresh is joining a competitive unit.

Well. Lootbags (aka Chestlocks)

i recently got into the scouting mode. they changed faction play to where you can just fight for anyone almost. scouting mode is fun. 4v4 meds and lights. so not too much tank crap and more strategy.

I only play a bit here and there to keep from being burnt out. Group play typically will help you play longer, though I can't say I'm a fan of CW, mainly because I don't like waiting.

I get bored with games very easily, but this game keeps me coming back. The way to keep it fresh is to pilot mechs that you never think you would like. Switch it up a bit and stop playing the same mechs over and over and over and over. That is what I do. I am a clanner, but I like to play IS mechs too.

I'd suggest giving scouting a shot, it's actually not too bad. And although I'm not a big fan of the new Domination game mode, it can lead to some different gameplay then what we've been used to, although mileage may vary. Got a couple interesting unseen mechs out for C-bills if you wanted to save up and give 'em a spin.

I'd suggest installing and giving it a shot.

I say this to everyone who starts a thread like this (because it's true)

If you liked MWO before, you'll probably like it even more now
If you didn't like MWO before, you probably won't like it now

PS: No, there's not a lot of new content. There is new content, but it's more of the same. See above.

Just scouting mode really. Denomination is just skirmish in a tighter area. The big changes are coming in July with Ghost Heat 2.0, mech resizes and new quirks.

July roadmap has no Ghostheat mentioned.

Crap.... You're right..... :'(


OP: No reason to come back to the game, nothing has changed.

I'd suggest there's one other thing and that is getting drunk and running radically off meta mechs.

Sad, also. Their approach, while everyone was super excited and we all had many discussions on what it would be, broke HSR some how. Since we know convergence broke HSR in what, beta? My guess is that it was convergence was tied to heat scale plus alpha damage. The higher either heat or alpha damage was, the worse convergence got.

If your time is limited you're screwed. They recently took away your ability to choose which game mode you want to play (Skirmish, Conquest, etc.) and turned it into a vote before each match. They don't even make all 4 game modes available to vote on for each match so you sometimes have to choose between 2 game modes you despise. End result is you have to either waste time playing game modes you hate or disconnect and take a 10 second delay on your next match.

Ok Thank you all very much!

Scouting seems interesting.
New maps for the mod? I did a quick search and saw the same maps.. no new maps?

I know about the change to voting system and I can live with it.
New mechs are not ... well how can I say this to be polite? Not that important. (not to me anyway, I'l pilot anything)

Maps?
Modes?
Scouting? The only new thing?
What about CW phase 3? Anything new implemented?

Coolant!
Thank you for the link, I will check it.
I could have read all the patch notes (I will tomorrow) to see whats new but I'm more interested in the consumer opinions not the PR.

Well I'l check scouting, or hit pirates moon for the umpteenth time.

Thank you all!
Good night!
