Hey there, question related to weather / natural phenomena and commander abilities. Will certain command abilities be hindered or not usable at all due to extreme weather and planetary conditions?
Snow storms hindering Drones/Air Strikes and Kessler Syndrome preventing Naval Bombardments and Sat Scans as examples. Thanks!

Looking like probably not. I would guess Garth will close this thread today sometime, and then post answers tomorrow or Wednesday.

In old MW games, in long missions, you had a Repairs Bay, where you could walk in, lose some time and leave it fully repaired and reloaded.
Will it be something like this in MWO ? At least in big battles ?

Will missiles be fire and forget weapons or will you have to guide them after being fired? Also will SWARM be available on SRM's or LRM's?

Missiles are F&F - no manual guidance. LRMs and stream SRMs lock on, for normal SRMs we don't know if they lock or not (haven't in most past MW titles, debated whether they do in canon). Additional ammo types will not be in at launch, but are something being considered for later.

Will there be a statistics page/leader board? If so how much detail will be recorded (some examples please)?

So far I've read that founders will be able to transfer their stuff to European server when the creators decide to implement them. But as this game is closing in on it's release date can we have some more information regarding a timeline for European server? Wouldn't mind spending money on this game, but would like to know the EU plans prior to doing so.

This is a FTP game, besides in game money what will be purchasable at launch?

[Tesetilaro]

already asked - but answer found and not rreally clear from the vids

Are there any special effects planned for different weapon types? (electronic disturbance from PPC, heat from laser, shaking from projectile weapons)

What about inferno missiles? Will we see it?

Not sure if the question is already asked.

Is there a possibility to arrange a pre-download to avoid the "black hole" on the D Day?
So you can download the client earlier and then on 7th of August you can just hit the button, quickly update and rush into the fight.

If we have the closed/open beta install will we be able to patch that on release or will we be required to download the full release version? also will open beta progress be carried on into release?

[JokerPW]

One more: in MW4M, you had a small and limited amount of coolant to flush in your system and drop your temperature.
Will it be something like that ?

Will there be different cameras attached on the mech? I was thinking of one that shows what is below the mech so that one can see whats there, when you're up in the air with jump jets. And will you be able to damage other mechs by landing ontop of them? (Death from Above)
Was a great way to kill mechs in the previous games.

i used the forum search and have found this question asked, but not answered. [see the edit]

if i have the founders pack and do not log the first time till January will my 3 months of premium time have expired.

i ask because i have a doctors appointment on the 7th and may [ i hope not] go in for major intrusive surgery.
i hope i'll be able to play before January, but even if i can't play till September, will my premium time start even if i have never logged in to play the game?

one of the other people i saw ask this was an active military person and they seemed to have a good reason to ask, but i did not see an answer.

i expect something along the lines of;

1) yes your premium times starts on date [fill in date here] and expires 3 months later even if you never log in.

2) no your premium time does not start till the first time you log in after [fill in date here] but then will run till 3 months after that point even if you never log in again after that first login after [fill in date here].

3) i don't know we have not decided yet.

edit:

OK i found an answer to my question in

http://mwomercs.com/...post__p__405397

and the answer is fundamentally:
option 1 above with a maybe perhaps it might be option 2 if we talk about it and decide to go that way.
but for now it is option 1.

well if i get bad news on the 7th, maybe i can postpone the surgery. [OK maybe I'm crazy but not THAT crazy]
I'm not going to cancel my founders package even if i don't get any of the premium time i paid for.
that was an attraction for buying it, but not the only reason.

i still want to give you the vote of support that goes with buying the legendary package.

What Hardware are you using to power the game servers and how much traffic can their internet connection handle?

[TwitchTv Morkani]

i started this topic in general forum & it was recomended that i post it in here.....


(actually 2 questions)

1. How are we as a community living up to your expectations?, have you sold as many founers packages as you had hoped? or do we need to work more on getting our friends in. (i've done my part, 4 friends have founders packs 'cause of me), just wanting to make sure we don't go belly up, although if my math is right you've sold over $1M before the game launches, is that good?

and 2. every job interview i've ever been to asked this question, and i'm curious about MW:O...."Where do you see yourself in 5 years?, 10 years?. I'm wondering if when cryoengine 3 becomes obsolete do you think there may be a complete overhaul. Will the Metagame need to be reset at some point? or are there safeguards to prevent this?

thanks for your time if you do in fact read this

[XYLYNX]

Just wondering if you all have given any thought to color blind players, and will there be an option in settings for them? Thanks for the work you guys do

Q: Will there be colorblind support on release, meaning are there alternate colorblind-friendly color-shemes for the damage-overlay UI, or can those colors be customized anyway? If not, will this be implemented later on? [Feindfeuer]
A: We're currently doing our best to use colours and tones that do not cause issue - however, some will come up regardless, and we are testing various ways to deal with these. Be assured that this is extremely high on my list of priorities. [GARTH]
