AND they've boosted their staff?

The triple their level staff which could be going from 1 level designer to 3...., which is still good but not some huge hiring spree

[Cyborne Elemental]

Tbh, I don't really care.

With the state of the game as it is.. Lights that can't be damaged when mobile, ******** TTK, random anomalous hitreg that never gets addressed, CW/FW flop, powercreep up the ***, ****** level quirks, map issues and problems that take years to get fixed and then when they do, we get a totally new map with even more problems.

I can't even stand to play MWO anymore, I log in. play 4-5 games all of which are losses, I don't even give a **** anymore.

Pretty much done with it at this point.

its just more of the same.

I don't understand how anyone even bothers with this.

This new staff isn't working on TRANSVERSE are they?

Whoa hey there. That's like all I do too lol. 4-5 matches and call it a day. I mean that's still an hour or so of playtime. Kinda crazy when you stop and think about it.

Nope, though from the Twitch Streams they seem to have also Hired 2-3 new Programmers,

I don't blame them when people come on their forums telling PGI they're stupid or yelling "What the hell you doing PGI."

For me, if someone was yelling at me to do my job right and calling me every name in the book that can be read of, yeah, I'm putting up the "shut up I don't care right now" wall.

they did that to the forums years ago when people were smashing PGI left and right.

Bishop, I know you care about the game, I know you as a veteran Forumwarrior who's made points, argue them, express opinion, and much more.

it'd be nice to have a tower of Babel, but there's a reason why there isn't.

And I wish I knew why.



>.>

You don't even know half the story on that...

Of course it's frustrating, but that's part of the job when you're the face of a company with this many customers that are emotionally invested in your product. People are going to complain, people are going to mock you for what they perceive to be stupid ideas and worst of all, some of the time they're going to be right. If Russ doesn't want to deal with that he should get someone to do it for him, but it has to be dealt with regardless.
The failure to do so properly is why we still have a huge community of people who absolutely hate PGI and MWO and will trash talk the game to whoever will listen. That is the consequence for not dealing with complaints appropriately.

So that's what, doubled the programming team? That should translate to some tangible improvements, maybe reduce the enormous backlog of bugs somewhat and finally result in long awaited features being implemented?

i think its time to go full oldschool and flood all the battles with dragons, awesomes and other bad mechs again.

people went so tryhard on loadouts that they totally forgot the fun of mechlab experimenting. how can i blame PGI for this?

there are many loadouts working if you work on yourself as well.

WE ARE a whiney community, i often said this.

too many times, players think something is OP because they simply have no imagination to counter it.
no, kodiak isnt OP.
no, laservomit isnt OP.

alot of users spit out on PGI while its their own lazyness they should work on.
heck i even got 1200 dmg with a TRVE meta loadout on a dragon-1c yesterday...

how many in here can really say they worked as hard on themselves as they want it from PGI to do?
not too many. they follow the trend and stay there.

we as players have a chance to create alot. especially on FW map yet how many active fronts are there? i only see 1.
-MS- could open 2 or 3 on themselve with their mass of players if they would decide to regroup into 3 units and just have a funny go at themselves, encouraging other people to get active again.

then we have the ultimate tryhards, going full toxic at normal players while actively cheating (and its obvious... but PGI is too shy to ban em) and sucking the fun away from the mode for alot of us.

in the end, it doesnt really matter what PGI does, the community decides if the game will be a success and currently we are on the best way to destroy it.

FW can be alot of fun if you dont take it too serious. sure, i want to win too but that doesnt affect me in the mechs i use. there are victors, highlanders, dragons and all other mechs that are far away from meta. do i have fun and enjoy FW? without a doubt.

what really pulls me away are the hordes of full meta tryhards because they can win even with bad mechs and loadouts. they know it themselves but they rather stomp.
main reason why FW will never be a success.

Next Friday's Town Hall confirmed.



Sorry that happened, Johnny Z.

Eh, maybe, or just a random announcement page the 29th. Who knows, but at least I got Russ to actually respond. So mission accomplished. Pretty sure whatever it is will be another Clan Mech still, I think they are due 1 more, before IS, right? Which almost certainly interests me not. On the off chance it turns out to be an Assassin or Vulcan for the IS, well, then I will be tempted. Stupidly, since i have barely played this game in 4 months (I played a decent bit the week after the KDK arrived, and maybe... 3 matches since then) so it's stupid of me to buy anything. But my lust for an Assassin has been unrequited since MW2 Mercs.

I would like to see official communication on the actual website of MWO. I know RB likes Twitter, but that doesn't have "The Official Twitter of the MWO Developers" or anything. Its just his personal Twitter.

Not everyone is going to jump all over him if he did deign to talk with us on his official forums, and those who would, well, maybe they need a vacation anyways.

Just want to have a real discussion with the person/people who steer the ship of MWO. Not limited to 140 characters.

If I had to deal with all the crap monkeys throw around on the forums, the insults, the death threats, like PGI does, i wouldnt come to the forums either. You know why they dont post on the forums? Because of the community.
