PGI don't want fun

Well, to be fair, PGI left it alone for a year. It was the unfun section of the player base that took our fun away.

How about: when they get to the last month they announce mwo2 and account transfer?

Ideally they would just add multiplayer to MW5 and port everyone's account assets over to it... Would be faster than trying to maintain an aging product on a now defunct engine that they couldnt manage in the first place.

The other 90% of the population needs the opportunity to experience what helped kill CW and all of the joy it brought with it.

Now wouldn't that be fun.
But wouldn't it be better and more realistic if LT gets randomly assigned to one sides and fires on the other every minute?

I mean that was the whole fun thing about it, one side got killed without even getting in meaningful contact with the enemy and the other won without having to shoot at single time.

No one is touching my Timber Wolf

That’s ok after those nerfs you don’t touch it either. I sure as hell don’t, or my gold Dire Wolf. GGCLOSE balance and the lack of initiative to just fix the foundation of MWO and drop CryEngine skettycode.

Actually she's been getting a lot of play in the Solo Queue lately... but that's about it... on off hours...

[Alcom Isst]

When MechWarrior Online closes, expect everything to be rewarded but in a very economical way. Everyone gets a billion MC and C-Bills to play around with. Events would give players access to inaccessible gold/founder/phoenix/escort mechs. You may see basic changes like the removal of ghost heat, but something as complex as adding knockback mechanics back into the game is unlikely.

It'll be a hell of a party, though.

Perhaps, but it PGI plans to add that feature to MW5 there's a small chance we can see it in MWO
then again...

Plus it's only fair since they are responsible for the quick play map one bucket thing we get now.

Surely the stellar contribution of the CW forum regulars contributed to CW being the dieing game mode it is today.

Keep your CW thinking outta Quick Play in case you kill that too.

Responsible, really ?
I thought PGI did that not Quick Play Queues.

Only thing Quick did to CW/FW is make it look like a niche mode fer seal clubbers by being vastly more popular.

I mean transitioning from fighting solo pugs with a 12man lol holding your hand to fighting solo pugs without said hand holding must be tough.

Not every ones able to cope with that fact and so they keep continue fighting CW style in quick play and get salty about the result and then start bagging quick play. You must Flow wid the stupid/random.

As fer fighting other groups, Group quick play has that too without the solo pugs getting in the way

So the only thing quick play did to CW is touch CW players in the naughty spot and be vastly more popular.

Just wanted to clear that up.

Edit: Fix quick play solo match maker before solo q diminishes PGI already. It yo bread and butter.

kinda worry about MW5

because AI enemy probably wont do those behavior as human enmey did -- twist, get cover and so on~

which means no fun at all after a few hours like single part of Battletech


and they cant simply prove enemy quanlity by increasing their damage or heal like other game did because of rule~

MWO is a near effortless cash cow (and by effort I mean brain power). It won't be going anywhere until people stop paying for it.

Well I got good and bad news.

The good news is that the helicopters try to avoid missiles and incoming fire.

The bad news is when this happened (granted last year), many evasion attempts led to crashing into buildings.

"Oh no missiles!" "Don't worry I got this!" "Oh no buildings!" "What's a bui--"CRASH!

In other words, the AI has an understanding that gunfire and missiles = bad, try to evade.

The bad thing is that the AI doesn't understand that collisions into buildings is deadly. At least according to all the youtube videos published of the game so far.

[Vellron2005]

"in the final month of MWO, there should be"

1) PGI should reveal just how many players, and exactly which ones were banned for cheating and breaking the COC from the game, and which of those bans were the direct result of in-game reporting tool

2) The players that were cheating but were never caught or banned should reveal "how they did it" as a final F. U. to all the other players and devs in the game.

3) The game should run like PTS - everything available to everyone, everything free

4) PGI should apologize for all the bad decisions, balance issues, bugs and grief it gave the players over the years.

5) The players should apologize for all the toxicity, insults, and grief they gave the Devs, and thank them for all the effort they put into making this game, and letting us spend years worth of fun in their creation for free.

Why does MW5 = death of MWO? If anything, it should be promoting MWO like Battletech did for some recent new players.

It'll be the death of MWO because all the whale MechDads are going to stop playing and paying for mech packs because now they have a singleplayer game for them to play with no competitive players and filled with AI who can't shoot back.

Yeah I don't get it. MW5 is single player I thought?

It seems the majority of the playerbase are supersolos. Most people won't talk or communicate and generally do their own thing regardless of what may be said on comms. Look at FP, full of supersolos not in groups or units.
Look back over the forums for the long litany of "teamwork/groups/friends are op/unfair" type threads.

We even have a solo Q in a multiplayer team game.....because "teamwork/groups/friends are op/unfair."

MW5 will pander to these people exclusively.

This happens in every multiplayer game I've played.

Ahem, in CW there are "supersolos" and "supersolo wannabes". The former thrived in the mode; the latter cried on the forums. <shrugs>
