It seems as long as they can keep selling Mech packs, that PGI is not really into doing the important things to keep the game, especially CW viable. Please, please, ask for things like bringing the IS mechs back up to decent levels, new maps and game modes, and an end to random nerfing of stuff. We all like the awesome new mechs and art, but that is not going to improve the game. It is just a distraction to the lack of meaningful content.

Mechs are going to come whether we ask for them or not. Might as well request the ones we want. It's PGI's primary source of income.

Hey, it's mostly the art team who makes the new mechs, and new mechs are how the game stays afloat.

If they give me a Madcat MkII, something I want, for my $20, and this supports the game, that is fine by me.

Hey! You know what the BIG pluss is, even if you hate MWO?

Harebrained Schemes with the new Battletech game coming next year might be able to use all of the mech assests from this game. They alredy have too, withtheir own tweakings.

So bring it on, let the mechs come.
Sure more important things are slower. A bit sad really. This game have/ had potentional.

I LoL at you and your post.
Yet another that's seemingly unable to grasp, that without mech packs, P.G.I make no money, and will do even less than they do now.

Your right they won't, and they'll stop paying staff wages and close servers.

Im all for new mechs, but I'm also for more content. I also understand their business model, but they are already focused on new mechs too much IMO. All im asking is for more focus on the content especially for CW. The art team seems to be the one shinning spot in PGI though, those guys do make some beautiful stuff!

I don't ask for new mechs, except the Bane. I've been asking for a Command Console buff, which we were promised, for months!

Financial Officer: "Um, sir... That's all well and good but how do we cover all our budgeted hard and soft operational expenses while we shift production?"

CEO: "...."

PGI will create new mechs because that's all they can do reliably to make money.

For everything else, they honestly don't know how to keep you here otherwise.

'remembers Russ' tweet about how the CC buff was too complicated and they put it on the backburner with no ETA yet'

I have no problem with mech packs being used to fund "the game". It would appear however that "the game" has become nothing more than more mech packs.

Whatever. Everything's fine. CW is well populated because it is so much fun. Mech balance is superb and the Kodiak 3 is just another middling mech. Yeah. More mechs. Just give me more mechs.

Would you like to buy a tank pack?

Yet another that's seemingly unable to grasp that without new content, there won't be anyone left playing to buy those mech packs.

What's the point of a million mechs when you have no one to play against?

That would make total sense if the same people that worked on balance, level design, and/or other content were the same ones that work on mechs. I know it seems that way because mechs are the only thing that appears to get done on a regular basis, but what really needs to happen is the other departments need to get their **** together.

Ultimately that is likely down to a failure of leadership. They're either not getting the right people or they're not giving the right people clear, obtainable objectives and/or enforcing milestones.

[Dread Render]

Wat!?! This game is all about collecting Mechs!
New Content? We don't need no stinking new content!
We just like to look at the pretty mechs and play paper doll with them as we swap weapons around.
