Hello All,

As you can tell by my count I don't post here. I have been playing since Mechwarrior 3. I played on the zone and Leagues for many years. I have a few questions.


1. You said you toned down the brightness on the new canyon map. But it is still way to bright. It needs about a 40% down grade for brightness. It's so bad I just disco if that map is selected. Having to play with heat vision for a whole match kinda stinks. Will this be fixed ?

2. Why aren't the maps in the testing grounds in rotation ?

3. In MW5 do we lose all our investments from MWO? Mechs, Cbills GXP and Like.

4. Can this old dog pilot use his joy stick (Sidewinder) in MW5.

I spent a ton of money on MWO and wonder what happens to this game when MW5 comes out. Does it die out?

Thanks for your responses.

1. Just go ghost vision any way.
2. Some maps are faction only.
3. No I don't believe so.
4. Being and old flight sim pilot like yourself I've tried not very function here.
5. Nah not at all.

1. Disconnecting on purpose is a disservice to your team mates. Just play with heat vision and try to contribute to the match as much as you can.

2. Some testing ground maps are for Faction Play only.

3. MW5 and MWO are totally separate. Your MWO account are not related to your MW5. (At least as far as I know.)

4. I believe so.

I believe MWO will just continue to flounder along until PGI decides to kill it.

1. It's only ever so slightly brighter than Polar and Frozen but there aren't any weather effects to deal with. So, I guess it's ok for me but I can understand others still find it to be too bright. I don't expect PGI to address this until the next patch, if they do want to address it i.e.,

2. Good question. I think some of them are for FW only so they've kept it that way. It's nice to differentiate between Instant Action and an actual game mode like FW where people should be enticed into playing more.

3. I don't quite understand this one. MW5 is sp with co-op against AI. Was there some info stating that we can use our purchases made for MWO in MW5?

4. I bet you could. If not, there'll be some mods to make it compatible.

5. Like I said, MW5 is sp and co-op against AI. MWO is mp. Sure, there might be a fall in the number of active MWO players when MW5 is out but I don't think it'll die out. I actually think PGI might do MWO : 2 far in the future.

It isn't way too bright, your display brightness is tuned way too high.

FYI, that's a violation of code of conduct and can get you sanctioned.

All maps in the testing grounds are in rotation. Specify the map for more context.

MW5 is not MWO2. Why were you expecting anything to carry over to a single-player game is beyond me.

Probably

Nothing happens. MW5's multiplayer is limited to 4-man PVE coop. Anyone who wants PVE will still go to MWO for it.
