Why PGI? Why are you so painfully average? Why after all these years, after all the money and good will that's been sent your way do we still have to put up with this unfinished buggy, laggy *** mess of a game?
Your communication with your player base is woefully inadequate, to the point where people feel like they get better feedback shouting at parked cars. The town hall meetings have been farsical, going from a boy's club piss up at OUR expense. To a moody hour of questions that never get answered properly.
Your game maps are repetatively themed and quite frankly, terrible in there quantity for a game thats supposedly been out for this long. Most communities who have access to map making tools can throw out a decent one in a day or two, yet we have "tournament" maps that are still un-skinned!!?? Shame on you for putting this tripe out to your community.
Your attempts at faction war "BETA" (the whole thing still feels like its in Beta) are lack-luster. Maps are not balanced to take into account the strength and weakness of each side. The queue system is just plain broken still, after all this time. We wait and wait and wait some more. Hell, in the public drops we wait when we first click play, then we wait for the map choice, then we wait while we see the animated map selection and game mode, then we wait till the game loads....then we have to wait once more for everyone to ready up. This is PANTS !!
Friggin Hit detection, honestly one of the things that can make all the other problems magnify ten fold. Why do I bother running ultra 10's when I watch half of my rounds (sometimes) pass straight through enemy players ?
So where does this leave us? Nowhere. Nothing meaningful will change in any reasonable amount of time. It never has in the past, there's zero reason to think it will in the future. You'll continue to pump out beautifully designed and crafted mechs into buggy broken architecture, and we will continue to buy them behind gritted teeth.
I continue to play only because its mechwarrior. Not because PGI are any sort of decent games company. There is no good will left. I know others feel the same. I almost wish that Microsoft takes the licence back from you and give it to a company who is more deserving. Then whats left for you? Nothing. No game. No good will. Nothing. And if that does happen, you'll have no one to blame but yourselves.
This was as pointless an exercise as any other forum post. I have wasted the time of myself and anyone else who has read this diatribe. But I was tired of shouting at parked cars.
