They took reps from emp, eon and jgx to talk to Chris about balance for over an hour and a half. Apparently half the time was spent by Chris talking. Telling them about the balance philosophy of various aspects of the game. Sounded like they had to listen to a extended command chair post in person. Then DATA spent a load of time making suggestions for solaris. Posted Image

Probably the only things that might have been useful are some spawn point changes, doing away/cutting down the extra nonsense Elo seeding points in solaris for the first 10 matches, and some other small but welcome changes.

Shrugs.

So no new maps, changes to unpopular modes, optimization or anything really besides "wanna buy a mechpack" and Balance.

So why would I spent money on a game that is not being developed any more?
For me the whole absence of anything for MWO does explain the never ending sales we had this year.

They hinted at a map, potentially.


Mmm, Russ dodged the question if they work on a map at the Q&A though,sooo
And balance is Chris`s job, I'm sure it keeps him busy, especially since he is most likely the only one working on it.
I'm sure its not easy to balance all we have ingame, but for me its also basically no content.

Paul does not seem interested into altering the MM/Tier rating at all.

That said, maybe a more fun matching would breathe some live back into the game.
If they can retain players, still nothing new on the horizon for MWO and we've waited basically since Solaris.

Tsk, I can recall the many posts before MechCon saying that PGI is probably saving stuff up again to announce, sigh, quite a let down.

Chris addressed this “not being developed” assertion as well:

https://mwomercs.com...ost__p__6193647

TLDR: “A number of Faction Play improvements. Stealth armor fixes in December. “A great deal more mechs getting improvements”.

See? MWO’s “development” continues with enthusiasm.


Yeah. That map would be nice though.

Russ should have been a politician. He speaks so much but has no substance. Makes promises, but doesn't keep them. Watched the stream and got so sick of listening to him that I yelled at my computer "NOOOO DONT GIVE HIM THE MIC BACK." Non developers ended up being more interesting and had more substance than what the developers said.

Not at all. I was there and took a lot of notes and that isn't really a great summary.

I will be typing up after I asked Chris if I could and he said yeah - but I'll run it by him first to make sure I haven't misinterpreted.

What do we have to look for in 2019? Are we going to get new maps? New weapons? IS Omnis? Better sound effects? Revamped FP modes?

Nothing at all

Yeah. That map would be nice though.

That doesn't count as development though, that's maintenance. New content is development and that does not include new F'ing mech packs.
