You really want to be on a server occupied SOLELY by people that have blind faith in PGI?

[MechaBattler]

Meh. Considering all the rageholes, I don't blame them. Why deal with all that unfiltered? Granted there will still be those people who hate so much they're willing to pay. But it will deter them from spamming accounts since they'll have to pay. And besides other games have done it. Battletech did it.

Best, wait of the first reviews. In moment we have nothing Infos to MW5... Only a handfull demotrailer.. What is with the tactical UI? Why in later trailers not infantry avaible? Today I'm seeing nothing rivers or lakes in the trailers... Give it no water in MW5? What's the limits in the modtool? Can we Editing gravity and physical effects?oh yes... PGI say we have the same tools like the programmers... What have and can do the programmers? Submarine levels? Moonlevels with less gravity? Can we make maps like in MWLL?or only MWO style maps with less functions and no water.

will this channel going to be available to plebs like me who is not going to pre-order but is interested in buying in the future?

Just use regular Discord/TS channel like how everyone is doing in MWO.

No need to make a big deal out of it.

This is true, anything posted on it will be reposted here and on reddit within few hours.

MW4 had no infantry or mod support on release and I bought it full price when it came out. I would not judge MW5 using those metrics.

I don't really care about AMAs or Discord channels as pre-order bonuses, but I gotta say: It amazes me that people whiteknight that sorta stuff.

Eh, I'm pretty far from a white knight, but I think it's silly to get outraged over something like this that doesn't matter. If you complain about every single thing you don't like, pretty soon it just becomes white noise without any meaning, easy to dismiss. It's better to save it for something important that does matter.

[Bombast]

From what I'm reading, the Discord's purpose really isn't as a place to chat (Though that'll be available simply because it is Discord) but as a controlled place to distribute pre-order bonuses (Like AMAs).

You're just getting too focused on what Discord usually is. PGI's not using it for that, it's just cheap hosting space for them.

MWO was shaped by whales now MW5 will follow suit LOL

Would you prefer MW5 be shaped by penniless millennials?

Maybe we could have parents helicopter in and pay for things for players as well? Hmm?

[McGoat]

It isn't paywalling anything - it's a bonus for preordering, where you have the chance to discuss issues etc with the Devs.. Of course that is IF you can get beyond the 100's of loredads and our lovely boring forum mods.

Whether it's important or not depends on the usage, I'd argue. Then again, PGI is probably not gonna listen, paid Discord or not. Which is why I personally don't care much.

God damn, could you be any more condescending? And here I thought young people were immature and toxic.

Honestly, sure I could. But I'm also joking!

My point, without the sarcasm, would be that asking people to pay for things is not a sin.

Personally speaking, it's more 'wishful thinking' than 'blind faith'. I know what PGI is capable/incapable of.

But also I have no intention of using the discord.

[Sjorpha]

I honestly can't see anything wrong with having a "pay walled" chat room for backers/pre-orderers of a game, seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

It's not like there will be no public information about the game, and if someone gets some interesting info from discord it'll be on the forums and reddit soon after anyways.
