Why is this thread still here?
I don't see how it is helpful to the game. Suggest a few neat things that people want to see, and go from there.

1. No localization of the game in other languages.

4. Very few game maps!
5. Heavy Mechs exceptional, assolts useless junk.
6. The game have little weapon types.
7. Only few faction play modes. In other games, there is a capture the flag, security guards, phased domination on points. And why you can only play 12 to 12, instead of 64 to 64?
8. Graphics brakes! When you look at the wall 30fps, when the fight it is less than 10. And the fight is on powerful computers.
9. Bad network code (many complain that the damage is ignored when there is 100% certainty hit).
10. Cheats in the game, unfortunately it seems that there are not enough. Someone uses brazenly who then craftily.

UDP:
11. Game not have PVE mode.

4, 7, and 11 are the biggest things for me.

english rules the World ...Why bringing the most Companys games multi Language Titles ? Gaijin (War Thunder/Star Conflict) in russia, german ,France, english ...Xcom =multilanguage, SWTOR =Multilanguage

Many Older Players in Europe have never learn english in the Scool, or the to young to learn english in the scool

Yes I would like to fight in pea soup fog at least once in a while, but there could be extreme weather maps to for such people. They could even make that into a package and that would tell them how many people want it.

I would like to be able to smash buildings or even hide inside them.

Yes some of the mechs it seems no matter what you do they are crap, but for the most part if a superior mech has a crappy pilot it now becomes a crappy mech. It could also be said that a crappy mech with a superior pilot now becomes a superior mech.

This game desperately needs pve content since pvp based modes just seem to breed repetitive boredom. They really should use a minimum player number requirement of multiples of 2 with their match maker so there could also be duels.

There should be a spectate option so that players who decide to take a break from that matches can watch.

I'll save the rest of my ideas for another thread.

the graphics aren't great even with a 4790k and a gtx 1070 i still see parts of the terrain rendering as i get closer buildings and hills that magically grow widows and plants when you get with in 400-500 meters away, i've watched reviews of other games made using cryengine and in 2 of those (by 2 different critics) the words or similar "cryengine makes beautiful games apart from MWO" were said which tickled me

your FPS problem is probably down to hardware my old rig fx-8350 with an R9 290 struggled to maintain a decent frame rate with everything on low, where as my little brother has an old i5 ivy bridge and a gtx 660 could set everything medium and never drop below 50 fps

1. i`m not a native english speaker. internet is in english. the communication in this game is in english. if your not communicating your game will suffer. especially in faction warfare, where you will suffer bitterly at the hands of organized teams. not speaking english will only help you when you come with a team. in that case people will be able to translate stuff.
2.+3. 90% of the playerbase have only one modern graphics card. unless GPU power becomes a lot more affordable, this is a severe nerf for all non-multi-GPU players and likely will destroy playerbase one and for all. deal with it.
4. agreed.
5. learn to play assaults. run metamechs.com builds. be center front with the team. if your putting LRMs in an assault you are doing it wrong. they are brawlers mostly. AC+SRM
6. the game is based on BattleTech and has the original weapons. anything else would be against the lore. learn the lore. that and we still seem to have too many weapon types since 90% of the player base have not even learned to use those we have correctly. why add more confusion ? learn to use what we have.
7. we have more game modes then the devs get to work in a fun way. 64 vs 64: has already been answered. server network stack and collision code will not be able to handle more then 24 mechs in one match.
8. you are actively commenting against point 2 here, sort your demands. the code is CPU intensive and requires a modern GPU. > 3ghz for the CPU. if you dont have that, you are part of the 90% who wont have fun with more detail. careful what you wish for !
9. see 7. the current code is at the limit with 24. it will improve in december, hopefully. try reading the old forums.
10. the stuff labeled cheats by most new players are namely: UAV module, seismic module, knowing the map and common routes, advanced zoom. target decay and the long targeting sometimes also get cheat calls. you can level and get them in game. they are not cheats.

11: see http://mwomercs.com/...-roadmap-beyond - they announced MechWarrior 5, thats basically MWO PVE.

Mine like the game but say it's too expensive and so they don't play. Mind you, they played MW4 competitively for many years and love Mechwarrior/Battletech. But yeah, that's the #1 complaint I hear from my fellow mechwarrior friends.

[Mechwarrior4670152]

Too expensive?
(Checks game price...)


...Apparently your "friends" expect to be payed to play.
That is literally the only way this game can be cheaper.

Hallo Nimnul,

Some things are right but most I do not aggree.

1. Localization is nearly no problem for anyone in Europe (incl. Russia), Asia or somewhere in the "First" World. Even I can play the game in english without any real problem and you see my english is terrible :-)

Ahh this one won the internet for me... OP how dare you complain about localization if the better people of the planet already solved that issue?
Heck, what am I even doing here, using my internet and speaking my properly learnt english in a forum from a video game I play, when I'm from the third world?!!? Someone please banish me and the lesser people populating this forums ASAP, lest any of us find something unacceptable to complain about MWO, as though we were due the same kind of treatment, services and products of a first world person...
pff, the nerve of some people amirite?

1. I can't really speak for this, but I have a lot of friends in my unit who are not Americans and English is not their first language. PGI is a pretty small company, they might not have the resources to translate their game effectively.
2. This would make #8 even worse. Plus, in some maps (like Veridian Bog) you do have things going on. Keep in mind that you're in a giant Mech. Things like butterflies for the most part you would probably barely even notice. As I said in #1, PGI is a small company, and these kinds of details are probably not high on their priority list compared to gameplay issues and new Mechs.
3. Lots of games don't have world destruction. There is a lot of cosmetic damage to the environment now that wasn't there before. It's actually kind of nice, because you can actually use cover. If most buildings could be destroyed, then cover would be virtually useless and any brawler could just walk through and alpha you.
4. There's a lot more than there were when I started playing this game. Typically as games get more maps, the quality of them goes down, and/or people only enjoy a handful of them.
5. I have no problem playing Assaults as long as my team is with me. This could be either that you're not getting the support you need, or that you're not playing Assaults correctly.
6. The game had far fewer viable weapons at launch. The 3060 update should remedy this problem.
7. I agree they could have a few more modes, but the game mechanics of this are different from a typical FPS. Capture the flag doesn't seem like it would fit Mechwarrior. I'd rather they fix domination and maybe escort before add in new game modes.
8. I didn't have a problem on my old computer if I ran it at a reasonable resolution and graphics. Are you running the game at too high settings for your system?
9. This is definitely a problem, but it's nowhere near as bad as it used to be, trust me.
10. I haven't seen much of this. Care to elaborate?
11. PGI (I believe) has started work on Mechwarrior 5, which is a PvE-only game.

I think that language support for Asian languages probably holds this game back. I know of one Japanese player who stated that he struggles to understand the game but still plays cause he likes it. He is the exception to the rule. Most Japanese would just say "this is too much of a pain in theass to understand so I won't play."
Anyone who says "they should learn English" just doesn't know about building customer relationships or marketing on a global level.

I think the reason behind the lack of multi-language is because of the time, money, and effort into perfectly translating every little detail (settings, descriptions, tooltips, explanation, et cetera). Also, they would need to translate Betty and the commanders (almost sounds like a band name XD). I am not one of those who think "you should just learn English" people, but I do think multi-language support can take a back seat to gameplay and content issues. After they complete MW5 and get to the point where MWO is starting to get really popular again, they can take the time to translate things for the major languages (Spanish, Japanese, Russian, German, et cetera) even if its only one or two languages a patch.

[A Cultist]

Needs a good PC to play at 40+ fps. In some cases this is an issue. The graphics is too bad for such hardware request

They lose millions of players. Other games are popular because they can be understood. For me, the law of profit and support of languages. It's as clear as the sun in the sky. PGI lose money. Which they could invest in development. Everyone will benefit from this.

Where are you getting your info regarding the amount of players lost & also PGI's financial data? I would seriously love to read this!!

Ahh, so it's all just pure guesswork then? I am in no way disrespecting your programming skills, I just feel it's damaging to the game to use facts that aren't public knowledge. This is a tactic used by the 'mass media' & look where that's gotten us all.
