Nothing about quads?

That's a lame podcast.

Good news about an Unreal Engine MW5: Mercs and it being single player?

Mods.

Know what rhymes with Mods?
Quads.
Just a matter of time.

Personally I can't wait to mod in pilotable tanks.

I want a Behemoth.

Using Scorpion mechs like roller skates.

With a huge polluting smoke stack, flying an American flag and pulse lasers that shoot red, white and blue beams and Gauss that shoot money.

It would be MAGICAL.

Any time someone feels the need to address something in this fashion, I get the feeling that they are trying to buttress up something that needs help. Instead of convincing me that all is right, I start to wonder just what's wrong.

A better TLDR For those who joined the game yesterday.

Mechcon Announcement about something. Followed by a 3 month blackout, then a post about about it being released 4 month later then followed by 2 months delay then public test and reddit drama then more delays.

PGI has always been good about promising things... just expect as little as possible and you'll only be pleasantly surprised.

Thanks for the hard work Appogee, you deserve a medal for working through all that drivel.

My thoughts on our developer friend is that he's probably well aware the loathing and contempt of the community will be directed at him, after Russ has finished promising the stars, and the game is a bus ride to the city centre.

So I'm not surprised he doesn't want to comment.

The tacky add on geometery if it's limited to solaris well I've no issue with it, but if it goes into Q.P with the items that have been threatened along with 8v8 that's the uninstal button hit by me for sure.

If I wanted to play Warhammer 40K I'd load that not a mech game.

[Snazzy Dragon]

No mention of balance, typical Paul being dead weight.

Sure, most of that sounds great for MW5, but it's hard to be excited for a future product when the current one isn't doing too well.

Agree about Paul and Russ, but...

Custom add on geometry.

Sure you don't want it in the QP?

Thank you for this cool summary!

Thank you Appogee. I could not have sat through that. As someone who is not interested in single player (MW5) or turn based (Battletech) I can't say that there was much in this podcast that gave me hope for improvement in MWO.

That said, I didn't really expect there to be any pleasant surprises. I'm sure some of the custom add-ons will look cool, but nothing on balance or improving matchmaking is a disappointment.

Last season/month I was so frustrated with the MM that my I went from an average of 250 games/month the previous 3 seasons to only 150 games played. Not a good trend (I was also disappointed with the Thanatos, but that's my fault as I should have known better than to buy it).

Hope dies a slow death....

Only reservation I have about add-on geo is that they'll get the same treatment as cockpit items (loads of random/silly items). We have enough silliness in this game as it is.
Otherwise I'm all for it

Bombadil says there's "another year of development" ahead for MW5

does this mean MW5 wont ship until 2019?

My guess would be holiday release 2018. At least that makes sense as to how they discussed it.

[Foxfire kadrpg]

It just occurs to me, maybe I should ask this question, although I feel it should be a rhetorical "no"....

"Is Stellaris going to require players to have premium time active in order to participate?"

I mean they can promise a lot of things. Promising something is not hard.

Actually doing is.

So it will take more than a year, which means MWO will suffer at least more than a year. I guess at that point my interest in this game will diminished to the point that I would not even bother checking this forum anymore.

I have chosen to retire back before the 'major' Steam launch in December 2015.

Back then i had over 10.000 drops in one and the only chassis Atlas and late 2015 Orion.

The consistent problem with PGI is that they did promise alot but never delivered. The townhalls are garbage in-garbage out.

That is a fact most people - or better said old veterans knows but they keep spending money on a game which dont deliver - if at all. Usually broken functions, half finished patches, bandaid fixes in a stiff ragdolled arena filled with robots. Take for example the faction warfare. Did that ever hit their main goal? To provide a stable, fun and great enviroment for clans and more to battle each other? I have no idea, but back in the days things didnt seemd as they were told on pink clouds with fluffy words. No solid competitive scene. I mean a original, real and complete featured competitive enviroment. People are waiting for it since 2012. Or what about the fun Solo Q? You play for a couple of minutes - team scatters around the whole map and you die. Disconnect and try again. Make sure you don't watch the match. Rinse and repeat. Stale and repetitive gameplay.

I wonder if people have forgotten part Deux screw up. I bet most of them do, but still remember 'something was up'.

Remember the promise of maps each month, or the longer patch-cycles to provide more quality content? I thought i would mention it.

I really liked this game back in the days with 8vs8 but again i have chosen not to suffer any longer and moved my stuff over to something else. For example BattleTech. Yes, i have also spend hundreds on dollars on this game and still have the founders premium time locked somewere. I am not sure what to do as i dont play the game anymore.

But i have to say a big fat "i told you so" is in order. I expected some things like the laserboating, the development, things about tiers and more but it seemed it got beyond what i expected. Sure, the basic game is fun to play but that's about it. It's like eating a grapefruit and discover the inside is kind of rotten.

I see PGI is trying, but a little too late for some people among us. If you keep hitting the same stone with your foot over- and over again at some time you will hit it again saying it's enough. Their promises dont hit goals and that what it stings me.

But i still wish if you the very best of luck and if you still believe in this game then i can not encourage you, everyone's opinion is different but the facts remains the same.

Take care.

Well, yeah, like every other event Russ is the only one talking significant time/info and NGNGtv be da fangurls...

Aside that since some time the soundquality sucks and different speakers have a different soundvolume - are todays VOIP Software Coders that incompetent or have NGNGtv borked their Settings?
