Wow ... how could I have missed this on Twitter:

[-MS-] Gordon Gecko ‏@GordonGecko_MWO 3h3 hours ago
@russ_bullock[color=#959595] can you elaborate on FW updates that we might expect? Timeline? Which Roundtable suggestions might we see?[/color]

Russ Bullock ‏@russ_bullock 32m32 minutes ago
@GordonGecko_MWO[color=#959595] soon just met again on that today and we're making progress on an actionable list[/color]

Doesn't mean **** until I see actual changes.

~2 weeks since the roundtable to make a list.

Wonder how he buys groceries. If he makes a list he'll probably starve to death.

If you've listened to the roundtable, you shall not be surprised with that kind of tempo then.

I did hear russ say that there is a process to which it is to be made. Knowing developers myself I know he isn't making it up. there are steps to do things. Even if its something that seems as simple as a writing post. We don't really know what it is like over there on his end, so the remarks are lost.

Well, whoever is holding Russ' leash and/or hand should let him talk to the players more and let him come to the Forums again. Though, I can see he is very busy by that intensive and in depth Roadmap.

If we want good changes it's going to take more than a couple weeks. Would be nice to see them make a few improvements like scaling back LT to something closer to a heavy arty strike sooner rather than later.

Like I always say, "The best indication of future performance is past performance." PGI seems to not use their time wisely. Their customers are unhappy. Instead of talking to their customers they ignore them and continue to do what they think is best. Unfortunately, PGI's best seems to run off players.

Good points sir. I hope pray and post that PGI can start working towards a better FP, but it is hard to over look what's been done and how they are responding. Round tables are good but people need to listen if it's going to make a difference.

I hope this actionable list is actionable..
There needs to be an item/improvement every month for FP.

They need to stop working on QP maps and give us more FP maps ..

They need to stop running weekly QP events and start running more FP events.

[justcallme A S H]

I've almost given up on regular FP, I mean I'll still play but not the 15hrs+ a week I was.

Taking a bit of a break at the moment anyway but after seeing that roadmap and then realising the grand "grind" is gonna continue for probably 3 months, minimum, before any meaningful changes... Ugh.

Very frustrating.

[MischiefSC]

I'm hoping to see the FW changes 60 days after open beta.

Skepticism prior to actual results is not unreasonable at this point. The only reason we still have active FW matches is gentlemans agreement not to run scouting up.

It's frustrating that we have to put effort into making FW playable while waiting for PGI to investigate fixes to problems that took them 6 months to accept were problems while the population voided.

[Zolaz]

Surats going to surat. PGI is going to PGI and Russ is going to Russ. FP is on life support with fewer and fewer people playing after Phase 3. Instead of any fixes, the problem is ignored and more and more players leave. Nothing is going to be done for over 3 months according to Russ' roadmap.

It almost makes me think that PGI wants FP to fail so that they dont have to support the game mode. Russ has said that we, the people who want FP, are not the target audience any more. Hope you like playing QP matches and grindy leaderboard events for rewards that cost less than a Mcdonald's Happy Meal.

Well, I have released the angst and frustration that PGI has given me today. I do feel better. Time to go do something fun.

It wasn't "Story-driven single player campaign"

Maybe not... All... of my prayers...

FP events would just mean more events I don't participate in. And I'm not alone.

I don't remember praying for smoke to be blown up my backside.

[Count Zero74]

Clanners are happily steamrolling IS Pugs, working as intended. You really think PGI would change that?
