Not easy to have the interest to login with the current status quo before the new energy draw system goes live.

I play about, maybe 10 matches every other day. I don't always be in the mood to wait far a match in the PTS. The waits are too long. So the only thing I can do is work on my loadouts in preparation for the new energy draw system.

To me it feels like a waste of time to login and play until the new energy draw system hits. I have a bunch of mechs, c-bills, mech bays and other stuff. I actually have too much other stuff so playing now just feels unfulfilling.

I play about 5 matches per patch before I get bored.
Though I did spend a day playing last week. Most I've done in one sitting in 2 years.

I'm just bored.

I've mastered all the nuances of the 'Mechs I like to play. There's basically nothing to entertain myself with until the Marauder IIC drops, and even then that's just more Marauder.

What I really want are new pew pews, not new stompy things.

What I want is PVE.

Solaris would be fun too, but we'd probably need some new weapons and move the timeline to 3065. Get some Fafnirs and some heavy gauss rifles and rotary AC5s and get Duncan Fisher in there. Then we'd have a fun addition to the game that would breathe life back into this 3 year old behemoth.

Solaris with 3050 tech wouldn't be much point right now. But it would definitely revive everything for me if we suddenly had MRMs and IS omnimechs and all that jazz. Templars, Uziels and Cougars!

Nobody feels the need to play much, look at the steam population numbers.

I don't much care for PvE in this game. Since the likelihood of them expanding this into a big Planetside 2-sized affair is less than the likelihood that Trump is anything other than a scrotum given speech by a warlock's black magic, I am honestly content with team deathmatch.

I just want more guns to shoot players with, featuring new combinations to mix around. The customization is the entire draw of the game to me. IS Omnis, too, yes!

You might be waiting for a while... If things go well, GH 2.0 will stay in PTS.








Forever.

Eh new Pew Pews would be nice, but to tell you what I want, what I really really want.... is more interesting and immersive things to do WITH new pewpews and shinies. Light Gauss and RACs will keep me entertained for all of .... 15 minutes in the current stale hamster wheel of game modes.

What I really want is a reason to pew pew. CW could've offered it, but instead it became a glorified Quick Play.

But new weapons are just a different color of light or a different sound effect which basically do the same thing. If you enjoy the experimenting and customization aspect the most then ED might be the answer because many of the combinations that work now are not as good with ED in place and other combinations are bound to be better. That should keep you interested for a little while.

If and when it happens that is.

i cant stand the connection and loading screens time.
if by connecting they really mean loading mech info then they definately should allow vaulting in which mechs info are locked and not downloaded to client.

with such long timing, i cant be staying at it and wait for it to finish. so i would alt tab and do surfing.

They should just disable any weight queing or MM for the Test server then.

Let it be a free for all, so people can just get into games quicker.

I'd just be happy if gameplay made sense.

Longer range longer cooldown
LRMs not just niche noobkiller
Not perfect pinpoint accuracy while doing backflips through a volcano...

Repair/Rearm commensurate with tech/weight

Running into a solid object at 70+ mph actually hurts... (and knocks you over.)

Stuff like that. (Where I'm not playing all the wrong parts of an 80s arcade game..)

Shovelware only has so much appeal. You have used up all your fanboi go go juice. Now you have to wait awhile for it to refresh. Then you can play some more.
