Pretty much why PGI just does whatever. Feedback is meaningless, because of half a decade of people publically 'closing their wallets,' and then just as publically flinging them open and throwing hundreds of dollars at the screen because a new shiny was released, or because they whispered 'Mechwarrior 5' in their ear, or something else.
PGI is the Bell of mechs. They have a monopoly, and they know everyones going to buy from them one way or another. They know what most of people complain about doesn't affect what they buy.
See man, i disagree with this. While yes, they do many things that either i don't like, or would not do, and more often the latter because it is not an issue that is important to me. But the thing is, there are very few things this community can agree one.
Honestly one of the few is the whole, I want a city map. But just look at other maps, Some love terra, others hate hot maps, some like small maps like the old frozen, others thing the new is far better. So who do they listen to? I really wish they kept the old Terra and kept it around and just removed Domination from the game. god that map sucked with that mode and the PUG zapper. But it would of made a great escort map, and conquest was great on it too. They could of even just moved the base assault spawns to either the sides, and basically had a 4 corner map that could of been a great fun assault map. Maybe they will bring it back.
But i am a perfect example of a person that only played this game in hopes we got mech 5.. Me ending up loving the game was actually quite a surprise.
@others
as far as hating devs and such, I never have. Basically if a game ends up in some way i don't like i just move on. Far to many great games i enjoy for me to play something i don't. Pretty much the only time i ever got mad at a developer was SOE, and that was because they shut down my favorite game of all time "Star Wars Galaxies" Though that company is kinda gone, I don't think i would purchase one from the new one that spawned. Five+ years later and it still grinds my gears. Cryptic on the other hand that shut down "City of heroes" another game in my top 5 of all time, doesn't bother me as much.. though i can say i didn't like how they changed STO right at launch speeding up space combat. I loved the slow game play, but right after i bought my lifetime sub and they launched it it did piss me off. It didn't make me stop playing, it was more the boring ground combat and not much else to do. I was hoping for a more Starwars galaxies experience, meaning i could play the game for 1k's of hours and never pick up a laser and not be bored and always had something fun to do.
I guess my point on that is, when game companies do something i don't like, i do voice my opinion, but i move on quicker than not.
@cant please everyone and who is right?
Getting back to this game, for me there biggest mistake was getting into FW so soon. For me, they should of just came out and said way back, Look we know you guys want FW, but right now our efforts are going to be on the base game. They could of added many more maps, and spend 1k's of man hours making that base good. I think they would of been far better off if they were kicking off FW at the 4 or 5 year anniversary. But again i don't make the calls.. but i'll bet there are tons of people that would of raged if they said that. They raged when it took as long as it did, i can't imagine what would of happened if they did what i think they should have done. But that is kinda what i think this topic is all about. Had they just come out and said that, Hellfire would of rained down. Instead they did what they did, but get crap because the mode isn't up to what people want you know?
@early access
Though honestly these days anything can set off people. Just look at paradox, How dare they charge for DLC! EA and bioware both get crap for that. I honestly don't care. I buy things that i want. Most of the time i wait.. Like I'm going to be grabbing the mass effect 2 DLC, which actually costs more than the 20 bucks i spent on the whole series lol.. but I've played through the game 3 times, and on my 4th so i more than got my money's worth. Sorta like this one, I don't mind spending from time to time because i just enjoy it. I won't bore you with the list of 2-5 dollar games I've bought that never played because i haven't gotten around to them yet, and MWO is a big reason why. Early access is another thing i don't mind, If like something, i'll grab it, if not, i'll just wait and see. Some Early access games have become darn good games, just like some kickstarter games. Others not so much. The same can be said though for tons of games that were just released as full versions. You are not going to like everything.
@early access.
