I don't exactly get why some of you do bother and argue about PGI's notation of the event's starting time. You just click on the MWO logo at the top-left which brings you to the news section. There you find a nice countdown which you simply compare with your current time to easily know when the event starts. No timezone hassle needed.

Yet you had this burning urge to respond with a shining white armor, because how dare someone complains about their specific needs... right?
hah... needs!... asking for a standard time zone is such a big "need".... I apologize on his behalf for his selfish behavior for asking for something so huge that will negatively affect the future of MWO.


I'm sorry if I sound a bit aggressive, Just wanted to show you an example of your own behavior.
You need to be able to tolerate the people around you.

Yes. A world where everyone can claim it their birtright to be spoonfed everything they point at, is surely a better place.

And who is "he" ?

Any chance you could give us the code?

This stream has been akin to auditory and visual torture...

Generally when you hype an event this much, you want to have a professional of some sort operating your stream. And when I say professional, I mean someone who knows at least how to use a camera and provide some audio that's actually in sync with the video being shown, and perhaps edit out the godawful music being played at the event to torture the poor saps who are stuck there.

Well, the 1v1 map looks nice.

...and the BT game looks to be coming along nicely too.

Things I'd like too hear from mech con (since I'll be sleeping and working):

1. Put past loyalty mechs with cbill boost up for sale through steam. I see them as a lost source of revenue, and that my bonus for being loyal was to get them for free.

2.1v1, I'm hoping the 1v1 demo stations at mech con will turn around and become a part of the game.

New 1 v 1 map confirmed for private lobbies.

3. More story and rewards for playing faction play. I feel that the in match rewards for faction play are severely lacking. I can make as much in a couple of short quick play matches as I can in one faction play match. Better rewards on both wins and losses = more players. Give loyalists a bit of MC for each game played. This will help loyalists feel rewarded better and possibly help their units.

More content for faction play, and russ eluded to restructuring the rewards.

4. A weighted system for map selection that gives less selected maps a curve in the voting. This would help to get caustic and Tina therma into play more, and lessen the HPG, mining collective, polar highlands trends.

5. More help for newer players. The trials help, but let's give them even more cbills to help get ready for faction play.

Nothing was really said on these.

6. An explanation of the pilot skill tree rework. I want to know how the modules will be changing, and what cbill refunds or gxp refunds will be given so players can compensate. Also if there is rework to be done in the mech trees, players ought to know. I really don't want to see a lot of time wasted again like I got from the last mech skill tree rework. Mine got all messed up and I'm still finding issues.

There was an info overload here. Modules are out, so mechs that have the privilege of having an extra module slot may be hurt a bit. There will be cbill refunds and xp refunds for skill unlocks and modules. Quirks will also be out as part of this. Essentially the skill tree will become you creating your mechs quirks. I'm not quite sure how this will help with Balance, since most clan tech doesn't have a really heavy quirk side. I think it will possibly make underperforming mechs a bit worse, but it will also give players the opportunity to make each mech they have unique.

Mechwarrior 5 ??

Great stream...

[BWS2K]

I've never been to a 'Con of any type before. I tuned in for something in the realm of 75% of today's events and was not disappointed (though the lack of any structured Dance-Off was a bit concerning...). Well done all!

Thanks for the update though I'm rather leery of the modules/skill changes but I guess I have to suppress my natural resistance to change and wait to see the specifics. Sadly I enjoy playing the under dog mechs so... whelp!

Who won?

NVM. I'll just watch the twitch playback. Seems to be a missed opportunity by PGI for a press announcement.

I don't even use Atlas in game, prefer medium & light mechs myself but I would love to have this thing on my desk, sadly since it is rather big I bet that it will be terribly expensive, not to mention shipping cost eh .

That looks disgusting...

Seriously, do you really want to get the trashiest of junk food on such an event? Even if the taste maybe good, just the look alone... I mean that looks like someone eat that just before you got it

This is like... the most offensive thing ever.

That's what delicious poutine looks like. Do you need the curds separate from the gravy with the fries on the side? Need some kind of pansy *** garnish to spruce it up for you like a fresh sprig of parsley that you're just ganna go "euuh" and flick off as motivation for putting heaven into your mouth?

What kind of human are you?

You don't need a reason to eat poutine other than poutine is poutine and quiterbitchin and stop looking at it - just eat the damn thing and slowly exhale a soft moan through your nose as you chew and let your eyes roll up into the back of your head. Goddam!

You've lost respect, bro... I'm shaking my head violently from side to side in absolute embarrassment that both of our DNA strands share a basic double helix similarity.

Is the website up for the model yet ?

[Sigmar Sich]

After new skill tree is live, i think i'll be playing MWO regularly once more.
PS I hope so much for MW5... And i hope MWO will get its share of improvements, as we saw in MW5 teaser..
