That they hired somebody competent in these areas of development:

1. Map design.
2. Game mode design.
3. Net-code and stability.
4. Balance.
5. Physics and Kinematics.

Exactly what the first 2016 mech con announcement should have been: We are making mwo v2 in unreal and all your account data for prior mechs,all xp,all mc, and account details will be carried over.

But with pgi I'd expect to hear some thing like "hey guys! We're making mwo for mobile phones! F2p(with pay wall content duh for faster farming)! download it on your phone now! Micro transactions!

So glad I used my BF budget on steam and got $75 worth of game and DLC that I wanted for $34.

From PGI, some sweet sweet info on MW5: Mercs. I would love to see a new trailer and/or some early game play. Really any new meaty news on MW5 to bite into would be awesome

With MWO, I am not sure. Maybe some new game modes, maps, or even something new to Community Warfare. Maybe an expansion of it.


As a side note: I am thinking that HBS may also show off more of their BattleTech game, or at least I hope so . I'd love to see a new campaign trailer.

If wishes where horses beggars would ride.... urbanmechs?

That they just hired someone with a marketing degree to get feedback from us and balance decisions will now be based on gameplay in competitive patches rather than "DRG-1C is OP".

[N0ni]

• New tech (X-Pulse, HAG, etc.)
  
• Time jump to just before Jihad (around 3067ish for new mechs and new variants of what we already have)
  
• New maps (plural, one map is not enough).
  
• New game modes (again, plural) that people don't avoid like the plague.
  
• Solaris preview and delivered better than the decal system.
  
• Quads (starting with Scorpion), IS Omnis, Flea and Firemoth.

this.

OR...

Mechwarrior Online will be moving to the Lumberyard Engine.

U4 might be better, however, for what PGI considers to be a viable product.

I really don’t expect anything to be announced that would interest me in playing or spending more. Even if they announce the one thing a number of us want, I know it will be implemented poorly and never fixed.

All I ever see you do in-game is spend the entire match moaning about how bad your team is. Now you're apparently not interested in playing anymore. So instead of resolving to just leave and then maybe come back some day if you regain interest as I have done multiple times, you're now on the forums moaning about how uninterested you are. Why are you still here?

They will remove the Clans.

Just kidding. Developing MWO2.0 in Unreal4. With coop versus AI modes.

That Harmony Gold has surrendered their holdings and has been purged from the Universe.

Really? You have proof of that? Otherwise that is called defamation. I usually reserve comments for the end, and usually they amount only to wondering out loud how many sub 150 match score people will be on my team this time. But lately it have been just a macro of “Another fine matchmaking experience” when it is yet another stomp either way.

That is VERY DIFFERENT than moaning about the team the entire match. Put up proof or shut it.

I stick around to see if they finally want to make changes to turn around the bleed of players from this game. So I’m interested in what they have to say, and proof that it will get done. So, I make the statement to challenge them to prove me wrong..for once.

I don't really record matches, otherwise I'd happily post a video of you repeatedly chiming in mid-match with things like "****** team" etc. But no, you're right, I have no proof, only anecdotal evidence. Incidentally, I bet there's a pile of other people on the forums that share the same anecdotal evidence as me. I need prove nothing.

MW5 will come out in Feb 2018 and its flipping assume

You are wrong. See, in this country you make a personal attack against someone, you need proof. Otherwise, just makes you look like someone needing attention.

Stop making unfounded personal attack posts distracting from the forum topic. I said my piece, you provided nothing.

NOTHING.

Edit: And I see you got some of your gaming buddies to like your post, and still no proof. None of them have screen shots, videos, or ever reported me in game for me even to get one notification?Got to love people who like a post that is an outright lie. I’ll remember those names. One fought hard to get Skill Tree implemented, yet now rarely plays. So how can he even agree that it is happening. Very odd...or alt accounts? Hmmmmm

How hard are we allowed to dream? Russ get on stage and says "We are now moving to the Frosbite Engine!". Fully destructible cities with 60-100fps? how 'bout yes.

[LT. HARDCASE]

The only announcement that would impress me, would be one stating that PGI is beginning work on moving MWO to Unreal Engine 4.

edit: I see others feel the same.

Because at this point I don't think anything will excite me, let's just say...LAMs. Because if I'm going to hope for something, it may as well be stupid and whimsical and totally unsuitable for MWO.

Mechwarrior Online is being sold to Harebrained Schemes for further development, so that PGI can continue its single-minded focus on MW5.

Then HBS can announce:

• adding lore, supply lines and an ongoing economy to Faction Play
  
• a contest for community designed maps
  
• the removal of Ghost Heat in a major weapon and balance reset
  
• the use of 'vexacious litigation' damages owed them by Harmony Gold to further develop MWO

That's pretty much what I was going to type, so I'll just quote 'ol App here.

Best hope for MWO is that PGI sells it off to HBS. The mech artists can go with, but all else will be left behind. Then PGI can get back to their first love. Making fishing games.

But don't mind me, I'm sitting in my cave, in the center of a salt mine, in the middle of an island.
