Out of the 9 kills I've made, only 2 have counted. Good job PGI. Nice testing. The Valentines event didn't work right either. If I was this bad at my job I'd get fired.

Only KMDDs count, not kills. Somethings wrong with their automated event system.

@russbullock a message about how the event is broken

Forum posts are likely not going to be seen for a lot longer time than a bunch of tweets to Russ.

Search your heart...deep down you know why every event is broken.

[Zh0u]

Because PGI.

[Tier5 Kerensky]

And because of stupid concept of kill stealing, they should just change the wording so remove mentioning kills completely.

Solo kills and/or KMDD is kinda best.

Because they do the least work to sell those mech packs...

[F8talParadigm]

Seriously. I got four kills in one match... And not one if them were counted. Wtf.

Oh yeah.. you said that right..

I've noticed a trend with events being broken also.. feels like at least 6 of the last 10 events have had something not working properly..

Also, if you look at all the latest mechs released, all of them have some issues also.. animation is poor quality..

And yes, if I was this "inconsistent" at the quality of my job, I would also get fired.

I don't want any devs getting fired though.. I want them to do better. Attention to details. Testing. More testing. Re-testing. Quality control.

What I think is happening is this: Russ said that PGI grew to 70 people.. those people are spilt in two teams.. MWO and MW5M...

That probably means that MWO veteran Devs got pulled off MWO and put onto MW5M, and new people were hired to work on MWO.. And guess what? They are yet simply not up to par.

While I can understand inexperience, I don't think we, the customers, should suffer and except a lower quality product.

It's bad business.

WAKE UP PGI. Stop embarrassing yourselves.

PGI is apologizing to everyone by giving out free boat rides

Muhahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!OneEleven

They are not able to change the loadingscreens,
a simple xml change for a single word (triangles to squares) would take less then 5 minutes or a drink,
but thats too much for them.

Can you remember the last patch without a hotfix?

Simple bugs who would have found with a single testgame, even if the tester was drunk.

Testing and quality control you can find on your island, but not in mwo or by pgi.
Dont know if they even know the words and meanings for that.

pgi is busy making a new game, thats why many new mechs got recycled leggs.
no worries tho whales will buy the mechpacks anyway

[Asym]

If I were cyncial, I'd say PGI only creates events to have the "proof" they are required to provide their creditors that the business model is still valid....

If they have lines-of-credit, their server logs are the proof of activity real-time. The only way to get server activity is to "give stuff away" and events are that..... The player base is long over having MWO as their primary game..... So, events draw people back and screwed up events and events with "errors" are just iceing on the cake because now, you have to buy new mechs and repeat several dozen games because of the neuances in the scoring..... Take the event that said "MG's" and no one could figure out why their HMG's or LMG's weren't scoring???? Because MG's wasn't a universal identifer for all MG's... So, dozens of players had to go back, dismount H o LMG's and remount MG's to finish that event.... Unintentional??? No....server count.

Same now. Not an Oooops.....server count.
