I think for this whale to get off it's hunger strike, I would need to see infowar and other role warfare concepts explored. And a legit fix to TTK/Powercreep.



I'd settle for believable shot deviation based on hard point location....

See the 9.5 heat at the PPC think what happens when it would be 28.5. (dissipation x 4) doesn't matter much what you do with the threshold.
But this is as old as Ghost Heat don't care anymore - just for science and my personal satisfaction

It hurts that this system wouldn't have needed any coding and was robust as simple - Ok 6 MLAS Garth Jenners would have been dead

well, my island has sun, surf, fresh pineapples and coconuts and lots of fish. Island living actually agrees with me.


I started up a hotel resort with a pool side bar!
I stopped taking MWO seriously a long time ago and I now expect very little of them.
It's far better for my blood pressure living the island life.

If this...very basic tournament, is occupying the sum total of time for the entire company, they are in worse shape that we thought.

This big time.... especially at this point in the tournament, their direct participation should be at a minimum as everything is currently just running in the private matches area. They should only be working on logistics for when people arrive in Toronto.

Thought the grand finally was in Vancouver at the PGI offices.....

Although I will freely admit, I have given the Tournament next to zero attention...

I thought they were in Toronto. Isn't that where the server is at least?

Same here, 'ecpt for looking at the page for it once, and being disgusted with them, for asking us to buy support packs for it.

I'd go with Vancouver, as they are located in Vancouver for their offices, and being in Victoria, I get a very low Ping to PGI servers...

The servers are in a data center Montreal Quebec, they used to be in Toronto. PGI offices and the MWO-WC Finals are in Vancouver

PGI should probably start by extending an olive branch.

In the form of a Hatchetman.

I'd be behind this sort of thing, plus a good deal of additional depth and fun to CW. I'd really love to have a massive version of Succession Wars run by the players, but I'd be happy if they just equalled the ancient MPBT 3025 from ages ago.

I'd be a little harder to buy.... I'd need a Phoenix Hawk L.A.M. PHX-HK-1... I'd even take a PHX-HK-M....

Geez... the entire PGI team goes dark, including Russ almost completely since the last Town Hall mess...

And now he's tweeted more important, relevant updates in the last 24 hours than I think he did in months before the phase 3 patch.

AND they've boosted their staff?

WTF is going on over at PGI? Did they all just come back from one of those Corporate Retreats?

Don't be fooled, PGI has more properties than MWO. Several times they have stated they are adding staff to PGI. Have you seen any results? No. The peole are working on something else for the most part.

But I want to know what really happened. One second someone is participating in dev drops and acting like they have the keys to the kingdom. Next they are bitchin' and moaning and making the comments for which they skewered people for as if they were PGI's own personnel puppet. Who pissed in their Wheaties? Did they finally come to the realization that PGI cared for them as much as they could use them for? Or maybe PGI just said enough, get in line like everyone else, you are not special.

Welcome to the suck.

yep on the offies at least... went to the employment link at the bottom.

I know my ping hasn't changed much if they have moved the servers.
