It's not broken at all, it is simply the default setting to not have All Chat enabled. It was an intentional choice on PGI's part so that new players don't mistakenly give away intel to the other team before they figure out how chat works (because the natural assumption is that T is for Team), and so that new players don't have to listen to the other team until their skins acquire a bit of Ferro-fibrous coating (because T is for Trolling).

If you want the perfectly working All Chat to be enabled, you just have to click a check box in the settings to enable it. One time. Ever.

I give up. Just shoot my mech. Goodbye all...

Nothing is broken. You're complaining that you're too lazy to enable it.

Edit2: I add another example, because I have lot of fun to explain it: If you buy a car with only 3 wheels, and the seller sais, that the 4. wheel comes as the spare wheel in the car trunk, and you have to mount it before use, and 'we' do that now with all cars, then the car is sold in a broken state, that the people (are given the mechanic tools) to repair it.

Except you're not complaining about that.
You're complaining that you have to change gears in your car. Or perhaps that your gun has a safety catch and you had to switch it off to fire.

Shutting Down your ‘Mech or avoiding engagements with the enemy, and when doing so might be considered non-participation

There are situations that do not fall within the scope of what the shutdown mechanic or evasion tactics are intended for. The use of the shutdown mechanic or avoiding contact with the enemy under the following situations may be classed as an act of non-participation, subject to evaluation and moderation actions by Support services:

• Running out the clock, or needlessly extending the duration of the match, in cases where doing so will not assist you towards victory.

Disliking a map or game mode or attempting to preserve a player statistic such as Kill/Death Ratio are not acceptable excuses for non-participation.

So dont accept them. Let the developers care for their workarounds. Everybody knows it is actually broken. by a definition as a user. developers serve the users, not users the capabilities of a developer. So as long as it is not good, we players keep asking for it. Now you know what I define a broken state. As for you you can live with it. I will not. what a mistone that I have to loose words about that.

Since WHEN does a user NOT want a all chat? It makes absolutely NO sense to disable what is mandatory!
Not even to make even a difference between team chat and all chat, you have 2 buttons to seperate that, and multiple possibilities to change the channel even mouse control ingame, when mechwarrior does not use mouse control as a mechwarrior.
99% of all users will trouble about it, until they get advised.
Why should EVER a user disable this option? not in a comparison to easify team chat on new players, not even the silliest user accepts a disabled all chat. You can do that in turnaments. We the users wish it for years, they dont mind, but everybody is annoyed by it. So I thought this is an opportunity to say NO to it.
This is the requirement to make developers follow a good direction. You teach them. If you accept incomplete states, and be it a tiny thing(!) they will go below this manner the next time, because you are okay with it.
Now raise the ladder, and dont accept every trash somebody throws at you.

Mechwarrior is to good to ignore, and the chat is too bad to accept. Senselessness has no point. Other people also collect colateral damages as we see above, which are just a million undone things, that dont belong into a program.
All way good with PGI, and do your homework, or we give the mechwarrior title to a better developer, the power of the people will force it. You will loose the power of the lonly. They have enough money, and the people ask for a clean mechwarrior. We want motivate them to do the least things right, not with time pressure, not with waiting forever, but with proper commanding in a authority, that has earned that place, responsible for the experience from millions of people! Yount the 1000 things, and do your life task right.
*Waited *nough* If the circumstances dont make proper games possible, also elsewhere, the people will change the circumstances which cause the trouble. Whereever be the root. If forums have ANY sense, then to call for activities like this to improve a game with our free will, that my wife is got slipped through.

Are you some kind of crazy or something?

You rather write THIS "little" comment instead doing 1 simple mouse click in options menu?

Are you trolling? Or some kind of professional ranting guy?

My post is very long. I just spoilered it. I speak with open words. Not trying to overload someone with my vision. No offense!

Spoiler

Speaking arguments does not mean attacking, not understanding somebody does not mean he is wrong. value off tiny things does not mean comparing stats. 100.000.000 people annoyed a tiny bit means a hurrican for you if you are a single person. Now instead of finding out, what is the right thing, people surrender and try to escape from something that does not hurt to observe - there are so many things not worth discussing. But mine is the one you attack the most. Why if its not worth it? So you play my game now. Thanks first.

Every person has a different character. Crazy can be cool, normal can be stupid, just be remarkable in some way - why not? Just be open for my way of vision. Something adds, I do not steal.

I did not expect somebody crits me on chat, just because I have a different opinion. I go right wise, you go left wise, no need to discuss.
But I wanted to know what makes you driving me so hard. Not that its a big ting. Now I ended up being a criminal dept-ant without house and wife, for 10 minutes of wrong play, being called crazy and all the respect you have for me is a wonderful result, I didnt expect that honor. So lots of human damage, just because of .. I cant even see it its so small... my Intention was to help which was also something small, just a crate on a map 5 meters off the railway, and something you do in 5 minutes: add the comment into right section once a moderator comes over it.

Now if there is nothing, there is also nothing to attack. And also not me. accept the fact that I said what I said, why not? Now you can try to understand me, but you dont need to. Some people find others opinions interesting. But I have a good reputation on my Name, I play good as a mechwarrior. This is something I will not let you touch, because we are just talking.

Want to see some sum up of what could behave better in mechwarrior?
away with useless chat options.
give me better aiming: I cant hit with heavy ppcs and AC20 on more than 500 meters, and there is no way of improving that, because the weapons visional effects together with blinding effects (from enemy fire) and inaccurate hud, suddenly jumping on obstacles, but not showing me, if I hit the ground right before me, or the target on a hill edge, but weapon position on my mech, left and right gaus cannon can make a difference, I cannot place ac20 on my arms most of the time, in mechwarrior 3-4 I could place 2 if I wanted. everything feels restricted, I have not the freedom in customizing that I was having earlier.

Many people would agree to me, that Playing mecharrrior 4 TODAY in Multiplayer means a better experience, better maps, better online mode, more balance, more mechs, (!) for free (old game = very cheap), with color shemes, more game modes, from 1v1 to... enough, better netcode, less laggs, for almost same graphics, just less textures and resolution, trees that reflect not mechs being a lot higher than trees, in this way, because mechs were much taller, it might depend, but some trees in MWO look like 2 km high compared to battlemechs, just way off proportions, theese small things...

you could repair on mobile field bases, use tactical artillery on mech (long tom - where is it after ... 5 years?) instead you have the cheating artillery strike, for MONEY! you can do that, but then also account used ammunition for other weapons, if it costs c-bills, then you can also account repair costs and fuel needed... what a level of playing.

Dont a feel attacked by my words, I just collected up some serious reasons, why somebody could get the Idea of providing a internet server for mechwarrior 4 and have more success with it than with mechwarrior online, because the game from the year 2000 had MORE CONTENT than mechwarrior online TODAY including the solaris patch, you just get more of everything without loosing ANY of the features. Even graphics were good then. Nothing to complain about. No high end now, but for a online mode, with long loading times, maybe a release for your nerves what a good trade off!

The first guy providing a mechwarrior 4 server and some money into advertising will convert ALL mechwarrior online people, because MANY are not quite statisfied with the state, which was already done BETTER 20 years ago!

If you develope something to improve, the most difficult thing is to get ahead in the core game in comparision to its previous steps. - Not walking backwards in developement quality.

Now you trade away all the good things already done perfect, in 2000 year, (2001-2 etc), even mecharrior 3 you win compared to MWO, it had a internet mode, you can just play it, one group of the developers can overhaul the online binding, but thats not much - it actually works still.

You just loose a LOT of gameplay fun and what do you get for the trade? Better graphics, more players, and more expensive, to take it at its core: The online mode has NOT more functionality than a MW3 or MW4 online mode, you can configure a faction map in a browser with some cheap work, then use MW4 games to fill the result to organize turnaments etc, instead of technology you cant control - it works but you struggle - you can play Mechwarrior 4.

We do not want to attack a developer, we support him with like 300$ over the years, 200$ in the last year. I did not expect to. You get attracted and like to grow a good time and community.
Now I ask what I get from it. I keep supporting PGI, because its all we have, at least its in developement, this is strong enough to keep him alive. I could balance my opinion to give PGI a better light, if you feel its too hard. Its not meant to be.
Just what a helpful hand a developer ought carry. With honor and a big yes, we did not certainly your direction, but we have a good game, if we have time, we could think of improvements.

I played like 1000 hours of mechwarrior, but still feel very bad at important areas of the game, whereas in Mechwarrior 4 it was quite easy to get good, not even 200 hours for a mechwarrior. More easy game (environment). Clear rules, not so much cheesing, and a professional mech movement. Slower. Heavy. more accurate, if you fire.
This is my opinion.

You can make thoughts of it, or let it be. If you dont like, you dont need to agree. If we support, we say whats on the table, and argument big and tiny things, thats what forums are about. I think Im even helpful for PGI. Dont need to like everything. Maybe you find something you agree. Success comes from succeeding with the challenges the players give to PGI. Now dont call me a rant. Please stay on a serious level. I stumbled on it. Why not discuss a feature?

I am sad about you. With all your creativity and skill of writing you could so much more than fighting totally unnecessary battles.

Especially the fact that half a dozen ppl wanted to help you just because they are friendly and you use this for spamming 2 sides for leeching attention. Really that waste of energy makes me sad. You seem to be a smart guy with talents in thinking out of the box, like me too btw. Mate, use this for important things, friendly advice from me and last sentence about this topic. See you and think about it...or not.

Here's a hint: if you want to engage in serious discussion, be concise. Stream-of-thought verbal diarrhea just gets you dismissed or treated like a fool.

Speaking arguments does not mean attacking, not understanding somebody does not mean he is wrong.

It means he's incapable of clearly making his own case. This is most often proof positive that he had no real case in the first place.

Quote

I cant hit with heavy ppcs and AC20 on more than 500 meters, and there is no way of improving that,

There are two.
The first is known as "leading your target", a mythical skill rumoured to be obtainable by the ancient ritual known as "practice".
The second is "Projectile Velocity", which can come from chassis quirks, Skill Tree and Targeting Computers.

Also, if you're shooting AC20 at 500 meters, then you're doing it wrong.

Quote

because the weapons visional effects together with blinding effects (from enemy fire)

If you're hit enough to blind you, it's a subtle hint you're in the wrong position and about to die if you don't retreat.

Quote

and inaccurate hud, suddenly jumping on obstacles, but not showing me, if I hit the ground right before me, or the target on a hill edge,

That only happens in third person view. Protip, if you want to be successful at the game, stop using third person view and don't attempt to use a joystick or gamepad for targeting.

Quote

I cannot place ac20 on my arms most of the time, in mechwarrior 3-4 I could place 2 if I wanted

You absolutely can... on IS mechs that have ballistic hardpoints in arms and no lower arm actuators, or on any Clan mechs with ballistic hardpoints in arms and 8 (C-UAC/20) .or 9 (C-AC/20) free slots. Those mechs exist, go find them.

PVP is harder by default because the other side actually has a working brain. PVE AI is designed to let you win without making it seem too easy.

Quote

Cheese builds were always a thing in multiplayer mode for the series, and will ALWAYS happen if players get to customize their mech (or character). The only reason Mechwarrior 4 was not as bad about it was because of its' painfully restrictive hardpoint system.

Quote

Now dont call me a rant.

You engage in long-winded diatribes, go off on random subjects completely irrelevant to the discussion and write paragraphs of text where a single brief sentence would be sufficient to get your point across. That is a textbook definition of what a rant is.

We played it but as a DM I "had problems" with that version as it removed the free flowing side of exploration/combat. Other than that it was okay.

As a contrast 5th edition is a huge improvement over previous editions.

Anyone else having trouble with the Bolt-ons not appearing when trying to add them to your mech.

When ever I am on that tab under camospec it is always empty, now matter what filter options I have chosen.

The problem with bolt-ons is that they are not cross-chassis the way cockpit items are. Each bolt-on exists as completely separate items for each and every chassis that supports them (which, frankly, is just plain stupid of PGI to do, but what do you do...).

I didn't realize that. And that is a bit stupid. The odd thing is I can't get any to show up for any mech chassis I have tried. Even when I have all selected, which I would think would at least give me the option to buy some of them.

I played like 1000 hours of mechwarrior, but still feel very bad at important areas of the game, whereas in Mechwarrior 4 it was quite easy to get good, not even 200 hours for a mechwarrior. More easy game (environment). Clear rules, not so much cheesing, and a professional mech movement. Slower. Heavy. more accurate, if you fire.
This is my opinion.

You can make thoughts of it, or let it be. If you dont like, you dont need to agree. If we support, we say whats on the table, and argument big and tiny things, thats what forums are about. I think Im even helpful for PGI. Dont need to like everything. Maybe you find something you agree. Success comes from succeeding with the challenges the players give to PGI. Now dont call me a rant. Please stay on a serious level. I stumbled on it. Why not discuss a feature?

The only thing I noticed in this long-winded rant is that you're shooting AC20s beyond 500 meters range.

Plz PLz. check if the temperatures are correct on the maps of the arenas ... not only general temperature but we point out that they are warmer and fresher. Thank you
Note the S7 is not funny. I would love to see more players experience less quirks joke armor.

Ultra Rare Supply Cache and Rare Supply Cache have same explanation text. Rare having incorrect one, promises too much.

And while we are at it, giving players chance to choose bolt-on on Solaris caches would be nicer than giving bolt-ons on mechs players dont have nor plan on having. Alt ability to sell unused bolt-ons, this obviously wont happen.

Or just cross-compatibility of the bolt-ons between chassis, same as cockpit items work.

Neither of those relates to what I'm talking about. I'm just saying that eg if you had a "Crown" bolt-on, it should count as available to any chassis that can have the "Crown" equipped.
