Suggestions offered by community: more than a thousand.

Changes made by PGI: zero.

That's quite shabby disregard for some of your best and most loyal customers, PGI.

That's the problem. Stop wasting money!

[AlphaPiAlpha]

Honestly, you expected them to do sth. useful? I gave up earlier this year when they introduced Solaris and wasted resources like time and money on that game mode and SUPER AMAZING bolt-ons...

#boycottpgi till they make FP great again!

Wanna buy a mechpack?

A progress report would be welcome.

Did you not learn from 2017

"We've chosen to call this update Faction Play Phase 4.1, both to signal the start of a new development phase and to stress that this is only the first of future updates and improvements planned for Faction Play as we renew its focus in 2017." link

Dude it's a minimum 6 months ignoring something before they start to look at it, then another 6 months to do something - or nothing.

It's 18 months at a minimum for FW. The most absolutely consistent thing PGI has done since MWO came out has been to say 'wow, FW needs X!' and then ignore it. I'm surprised Paul hasn't been fired; normally that happens to anyone who tries to support FW.

Remember, they listen to the community, but they have never said they would act on what we suggested...

[Appogee]

Having limited the scope of improvements at the outset to 'low effort' suggestions, it's even more extraordinary that nothing at all has been implemented.

[Ninjah]

Well lack of meaningful updates lately means only one thing. It's not worth putting resources in anymore. Rip.

[AlphaPiAlpha]

They will implement new stuff in panic, when they notice that no players are left... but, too late already, imho. You can't promise stuff over years and do other things instead, that also come out broken from the beginning. Last patches ALL needed a hotfix some hours or one day later. No QC / QA, it often feels they do a lot of try and error... But this has nothing to do with software development, it makes the company look like a bunch of kids trying to create a game. (sorry, I am just a sad, old and salty Mechwarrior)

if you listen to the POD cast Paul has been working on Mechcon stuff

so looks like he got pulled off to do other things

what changes do you guys want to see??

[Ninjah]

I want to see Faction Play full of units like it used to be... SWOL, CROW, NS MS, NKVA, FOX, RCW, TCAF, KCOM, ISEN and many many more. It's a wasteland now. PGI chased everyone away *slow clap*.

There are literally thousands of posts about what people want to see... including in the thread that was set up to respond to Paul's request to provide 'low effort' fixes.

Last time I listened to a podcast, Paul undertook to implement some fixes to FP.

I'll listen to another podcast when there's some evidence that the commitments made on them are delivered by those who make them.

Alas, Paul pretty much said that nothing would be announced until mechcon. I suspect that a few of the the low level/effort changes, from those that he has been accumulating and considering, will be conglomerated and then presented as a pretense of a "big announcement" for MWO development at mechcon.

Edit:

Speak with your wallets, don't buy MC or mechpacks until we see improvements in FP, not mere announced improvements but actual in-game functional new content.

[Javin]

Heck just release the map tools. Let US make the maps for PGI. They get free labor and we get new content!

[Xeno Phalcon]

*Reads topic* Oh....that explains some things.

Thanks for the link.

Frankly, having to wait til MechCon for 'minimal effort' improvements to be announced - more than 3 months of inaction - is just rubbing salt in the wound.

I will respond in kind by closing my wallet until I see some actual improvement.

Assuming of course that FP doesn't completely die in the period before MechCon.
