They locked the topic, why? Whatever...

After removing broken shadows we see they don't plan to fix...

[LordNothing]

to head off the salt that was inevitably coming. that was a very sparse roadmap.

I wish they could have at least elaborated on the two "balance passes" mentioned, i.e. which weapons and maybe even say if it's a buff or nerf (don't have to list final values yet).

Well, why bother having forums then? And actually they did mention a FP update.

[Y E O N N E]

IIRC, PPCs are next up after the LRMs according to MWOWC players who were at Mech_Con and spoke with PGI.

seems every time they announce major changes to fp, the do a small tweak and thats it.

Dang, they locked it. I had a question I wanted to ask them.

theyre going to add a matchmaker that wont even work. thats their idea of a big change.

literally all its going to do is try and match groups against other groups. but its still not going to balance teams based on skill level. so were still going to get stomps just as often as before.


supposedly faction points will be turned into a currency to buy things too... but my guess is the faction rewards will be so generic that they wont even matter.


really nothing is going to change... im not sure why PGI even bothers anymore.

And still nothing about bringing the engines inline, making them equivalent when damaged, ie all surviving the loss of 1st side torso...

I mean, how long ago was the new Skill Tree introduced when Chris made the remark about the engines.....???? Never mind the comments Russ/Paul introduced or increased the non-lethal penalties on the cXL..

To be honest thats a relatively minor problem though. The game has way bigger issues than engines not being equal. Nobody is quitting the game over that.

PGI needs to fix the problems that are making people quit the game. Because if nobody is left to play the game then all the engine balancing in the world wont matter.

issues PGI needs to fix ASAP:

1) gamemode/map improvements
2) matchmaker improvements
3) more actual content (i.e. new weapons, maps, etc...)

Edit - quoting this so I can sadly like it again...

Roadmap is just sadness.

[SPNKRGrenth]

Honestly this road map has me eager for the next 3 months, reworked LRMs finally, bringing back a few old maps people loved, continued dev support for the game... Seems mostly good to me.

[admiralbenbow123]

Winter canyon network sounds interesting.

[Dogstar]

The saddest thing about this roadmap is not that it's got practically nothing in it but mechpacks but that they're obviously not going to do _anything_ else.

So that's three months of total lack of communication, three months of minimally viable 'progress', and three months of losing players.

At this point if you are spending money on mechpacks you need to have your head examined.

Remember the big FP update at Mech Con 18?

Can we have volcanic Canyon Network?
And gradually fill the canyons with lava?

[CanadianCyrus]

Well I do like classic Frozen City, so that's a plus. Canyon is one of my favorite maps, so adding another version just increases the chances I get to vote for one, so I'm down for that. FP queue changes incoming, hopefully it makes getting games for that mode easier. Haven't played on the PTS, the LRM changes will be interesting to see how they play.

Classics mapa are returning. Loving it!!!!! Best news in these days!!!!

Well, there are hardly any other news. But yes, Classic maps are nice.

I don't expect anything to happen in April.
