Yup I've tried to say engine upgrade + PVE shows commitment to the product that we desperately have needed since Dec 2015. I already saw many signs of the consumer lacking faith in the direction and PGI's commitment of the game. Everyone just sees things as cash grabs because "the next big thing" was never announced back in Dec 2015 when CW phase 3 was finally done. E-sports was not a "big thing"and took zero development effort and the attendance tournament has had over 50% in drop outs making it a complete failure.

I'll be at MechCon are you attending?

No, I will not be. I spend to much time at work and my extremely limited vacation time is dedicated for family. 'Merica.

In a game with little limit on customization, new mech chassis is pointless other than for aesthetic reasons.

So no, I wouldn't be supporting PGI with money until they fix FW and get MWO out of quick play beta.

No.

It is ugly, it is bad, and most offensively it does nothing interesting.

No early bonuses that would be needed by new players other than the 6.5 million. No bonus mech like the Marauder IIc or 6 million Cbill modules. Decals are nice, new, but don't do much.

We'll see, but MWO's medium mechs are usually pretty bad compared to Lights and heavies.

Well, you could do 3 AC5s on the first variant and run low 80s with speed tweak...

See: does nothing interesting. Interesting in this case would be:
  • IS Omni
  • New equipment

How PGI will read this

He definitely meant to spell Mackie
He definitely meant more things like supply caches

Isn't it ironic that some of the things that people love the most about MWO are the biggest flaws in the game and cause the most problems? The MechLab gives us too much freedom to customize Mechs which screws with blance and makes many chassis irrelevant because so many chassis can be modified to do the exact same things. Faction Play is built around the mercenary system which gives players the ability to play both Clan and IS and the freedom to move around almost at will. It also ruins faction play because the mercenary units have the power to skew the balance of the mode at will, can all join the same units so they never face one another and can cause one faction to go from irrelevant to the dominant force overnight.

Freedom is nice but freedom without bounds is one of the biggest problems with MWO.

The scary thing is some people here want it to be more like the uglier original.

I won't buy it despite how good a job Alex did....He performs miracles but i won't buy it. I'll go even further than that.

Even if Alex made a gorgeous version of the Firebee which is my favorite mech i still would not buy that Firebee.
I refuse to invest a single norwegian kroner more in MWO untill PGI has solved 5 major problems.

1- The overall lack of maps is very troubling. FW maps are completly utterly worthless.

2- Free for all Solaris must be put into the game.

3- No more simple bandaid solutions like Energy Draw and Ghost Heat. There are plenty of more advanced solutions in the PTS feedback section.
I don't care if i have to keep an eye on 4 different bars or not. Too advanced and difficult to keep an eye on so many things you say?
To that i quote the Pirate Captain from that movie...It's only impossible if you stop to think about it.

4- PGI must make something that makes frankenbuilds viable not only for us veterans but also for complete newbies.
In other words....i want to have enemies that fight using more than just 1 button.

5- Fire Paul. He is completly incompetent. I might as well ask Alex to hunt Russ with a javelin while i'm at it.

I know all of this won't happen but that means PGI won't get anymore money from me....not a single øre.
(that's the norwegian version of a cent...but it's worth much less).

Come on guys... this is somewhat feedback....we can't use feedback on the dam forums...jesus.....Russ will probably go hmmm.....almost 20pages of feedbacks....if they used twitter I'd probably read it.....

But. No. I already have my Bushwacker..*loads up MW4 Mercs* Itll do. At least I can mount an "AC20" on this version and still go 90kph.....just saying.
