should I bother supporting or playing this game at all when all you do is pump out mechpack™ after mechpack™ without implementing any useful feature asked by the community

over a year or so ago I asked to have a goddamn keyboard shortcut to toggle TAG lasers on and off so I dont have to manage a million mouse buttons at the same time and I didnt get a single good answer from a developer on why the hell this isnt a feature yet

there is a keybind for toggle ECM and AMS yet there isnt one for TAG lasers on/off

ECM is toggled with J. AMS doesn't have a specific key, you have to toggle it on/off using the weapon group interface.

In general, support the game if you enjoy the current gameplay (which has always been the same and always will be) and don't support it if you don't.

https://github.com/e...ge-Instructions - for all your tagging needs. And this thing is around since forever.

[Seranov]

I use the Firecontrol macro to do that. It would be nice if they made it baseline, though.

That said, you need to calm the hell down, fella. You're gonna give yourself a heart attack getting mad about things that don't matter.

I use 2.30 in small change to weigh down my TAG key. High tech.

You're pretty salty about something fairly inconsequential. Maybe take a few deep breaths and go for a walk or something, all that simmering rage can't be good for you.

[MechaBattler]

I would hardly call that a make or break feature. : /

[Lux Monolithic]

It took me a good couple years to get completely burnt out and tired of this game, and I stopped buying mech packs. So if you want to and are having fun go for it, but if you don't enjoy the game then obviously don't pay for it.

The lack of maps is primarily what is so boring. There's really no excuse. Of all the stupid features they've added that no one cares about they could have just added 8 more maps.

Take a deep breath and repeat after me: "it's only a game....It's on;y a game.....it's really only a silly game with fake robots...." Now, stop hitting you head on the computer keyboard and find another game ! You can always join us in the Big Ocean and ships game (I won't advertise the name...) ! We're starting a MWO Division and clan !!!!! woo-hoo !

Took me 6 months and two teams dropping out of MWO to convince me that MWO isn't ever going to be what it could be......

solaris was asked for by many community members for years,
and now we are getting it, so its not just mech-pack after mech-pack,
-
also theirs been many other updates and quality of life patches,

well in a way i agree i would like their to be a TAG Toggle,
but dont think its game breaking not to have one, so i dont find it a large problem,

True but both these systems are unique as in they have their own Specialized Hardpoint,
not that that is a justification for TAG not having a Toggle, but the systems arnt identical in use ether,

well actually the (Tilde) sign (~) turns AMS on and off,

Relax mate. The real issue is your own inability to use Tag not PGI. I don't use Macros and I have no issue running tag on some fairly complex builds. Instead of directing that pent up anger at PGI try putting it into some self development and learn a bit of hand eye coordination. It will help you with more than just Tag and open us some fairly fun builds.

[Smith Gibson]

What it all boils down to is that after lowering his expectations time and time again, PGI still can't seem accomplish even the simplest of fixes or improvements. Yes PGI has made other changes, but too many times those changes are for the worse rather than for the better. The times those changes are an improvement feel like they are too little for too much wait.

The entire argument and complaint here is that no matter how much the game has actually improved, on an emotional level it has been disappointment after disappointment with the actual improvements being forgotten in favor of the confirmation bias that they never seem to get anything right.

Is the game better than it was last year? Probably.
But it just doesn't feel that way.

[Humpday]

TAG of all things to complain about...tag...dafuk!?

[Yosharian]

TAG needs an autofire button, yes. It also needs to be made invisible. What kind of ******* target painter creates a red line that allows enemies to trace your location. What the ****.

It would be nice if PGI invested some time into making missile support mechanics interesting and rewarding, and less of a hassle.

It just highlights the absurdity of the game that people are actually posting solutions like 'hold down the key with coins' or 'just download and install this third-party program' when all PGI needs to do is give us an autofire toggle.

[Daemon04]

I would love to have more weapon group options like sequences or a little more diverse chainfire

[Humpday]

For the record tag should be infrared. Thats my only thing about tag

Dont if you dont like the game dont play it. Asking us to give you a good reason to play is kinda weird if you ask me. If I dont like something about a game and I feel its a game changer for me then I put on my big boy pants and go play something else and not ask the community to give you a reason.

Have fun in the next game you play.

[InvictusLee]

To be fair, firecontrol toggle can and will cause your client to crash. Same as alt tabbing.

[Athom83]

Except they are adding new content like Solaris 1v1/2v2 matches, adding bolt on geometry items, new maps, and the occational time-jump for new weapons/mechs.

It does have a toggle key, its tilde (~).
