I often saw Chris online on the forum. Is this a good sign?

I know that Mark Nicholson sometimes even posted. I really appreciate that since he's a 3D Artist and the 'Mech models are one of MWO's strongest assets (BTW, the 3D translations are really good lately, many thanks for that!).

Chris hasn't posted much at all. That was one post, don't exaggerate


But yes, it is indeed a good sign. I had said previously awhile back that they need to be more forward in communication by going to the forums or reddit - if this is it, early signs of it, and if you're reading this devs, please, do post here more. As much as we seem bitter at times, we do like seeing you guys around. It shows that you do care about our opinions, and we would like to hear more.

The guy who sometimes posted was Mark.

Being a Design Consultant, it's a bit comforting to see Chris' presence in the forum.

'shrugs' I just know that I like seeing Mark, or any other PGI employee, on the forums, even if I don't care for what they actually post.

Chris seems to be working on balance/systems, but I don't think it's clear to us what his level of involvement/control is.


Regardless, yes it's a good sign that he is here in the forums keeping an eye on the topics of the day.

I seriously doubt he will be a very active poster, as that's quite difficult to maintain due to the amount of different ideas and signal/noise ratio of these types of forums (nature of the beast) - but the fact he is willing to interact in some capactiy, but more importantly read our ideas and distill hopefully the best of them for the game as a whole is a really welcome sign.

[MechaBattler]

Well his post the other day was informative and concise. No opinions or jokes. Just a professional post. Which is the smart play in this den of memes and villainy.

Perhaps if he's directly involved in balance decisions we'll get more clear information from PGI. People don't always understand why a change is made and often fallback on biased feedback of other players. But then again they did explain the changes the other patch and I get the feeling people didn't read the info posted. Admittedly I only skimmed it and put my foot in my mouth. >.>

How desperate for stuff to talk about that we're talking about the employees? lolol

I think he's the one who's sometimes associated with the man with the Bat (not the animal).

[Jackal Noble]

Actually, Mark is one of the more active devs on here, and quick to respond imo.

Agreed! PGI's mech art and models will be my standard going forward.

"Chris" being employed is a good thing I played many a drop of mwo with "Chris" before he worked for pgi in fact I used to be in a group with him. He used to post a lot with his regular account so he is well versed in the forums.

[Monkey Lover]

Feels like he is doing some good work. I been happy with everything but the last skill tree nerfs on the low end mechz.
