There's no good excuse for the timeline to content ratio of MWO, and PGI has only
ever been honest with that with the psalm "Minimally viable product"


a huge amount of the anger here I think is from people not realizing just HOW serious pgi was when before CB they told us that they would be aiming for a minimally viable product rather than the traditional role of a game dev of making the best game they can.

Nope nope nope. The level of vitriol has not changed that much over the years. There has always been some new affront or outrage, whether it was uneasy/way to early transition out of beta, 3rd person, awful splatcat, the beyond half assed introduction of clans, the Gold Clan mechs, the absolutely impossibly slow implementation of easy fixes, IGP, the embarrassing UI 2...


The level may be the same, but it's only 8 of us left doing it. That's a lot more work to maintain the the proper level of bitterness and crushed dreams that the forum has become accustomed to. You're welcome. ;)

This game becomes a lot more enjoyable once you stop giving a f*ck about it.


That should replace "MWO: A Thinking Man's Shooter."

Yea that really doesnt have anything to do with anything we are discussing here and I dont think it has the sort of impact you think it does.

OP must be very close, otherwise it would be hard to explain the state the game is in.

It's one thing to stay away from the forums because the Devs get so much negativity around here. But on the other hand, no one from PGI has ever actually tried to explain why the development is so slow. The logical explanation is that there IS no explanation, they really just don't care and have no idea what they are doing.

How about the Flea, or Knockdowns? Knockdowns were awesome and made you have to be aware of your surroundings and allies.. had to keep distance instead of face hugging etc..

In all seriousness, back when IGP was in charge we were pretty certain due to the nonexistent development and some internet sleuthing into the staff that no one was working full-time on MWO. Basically Russ and friends had made their careers churning shovelware and this is their first serious project.
