Give me some numbers and I'll happily do the math.

https://mwomercs.com...thread-we-need/

Change the first simulation to 8vs8 and reduce the skill difference to 600 from 800 (not quite a 67% decrease), and you'll see that WLR for the 1800 skill players go up from 2.1 to 3.5, the number of bad matches go up to 60%, and the number of stomp increase by about 10%.

How is this question relevant?

PGI investing money to improve the experience. PGI has made it clear they will not invest money to improve the experience.

Each suggestion in this thread that involves PGI spending more than what is required to keep this game on life support can be ignored.

Reality sucks.

Those were indeed some very good numbers. I must have been a statistical outlier (which does happen) and around the time that 12vs12 came out, the quality of my matches decreased from much closer wins/loss to more one-sided matches. I should state that I was playing mostly Quickplay at the time.

However, 8vs8 would make ME return as an active player as a simple matter of preference, although I suppose catering to my personal preference however the price of that being having many other people leave, that's obviously not going to happen (and tbh, I never expected to see 8vs8 to come back after 12vs12 was implemented).

It would be nice if PGI took a look at your numbers nonetheless and thought "Hey, this person is on to something" ;-)

I can give you 100$ if they did that, and you can give me 1 penny if they don't, and it's still a bad bet for you xD

OH and maybe Cooperative PvE campaign mode. Survival

Why survival? Survival gets boring as **** rather quickly. Lets be honest, Survival is little more than PVP now, except the enemies are more numerous and only slightly more braindead.

Id rather have actual missions to complete, something to give the playtime even superficial purpose. Warframe? Yeah, it has a horde mode survival and after 20 minutes im getting bored, by 30 minutes I leave. I have stayed for 70 minute survivals in Warframe and by the end of it, im half asleep at the keyboard.....

Games with mission objectives, like Men of War, Company of Heroes, the old Mechwarrior and Mechcommanders, I play and keep playing them. I just wish I knew how to mod MC1 and 2 better. Create my own campaign in those games......Remaster those? That would be great.

A better engine? Its a mess that u cant run MWO properly in bigger fights because fps drops unplayable under 30 fps.

Forum mods, yeah, seems forum mods are just the internet equivalent of the SS or guess-tahp-hoe (since the game wants to censor g e s t a po..... They dont want feedback, discourse or otherwise. Game forum mods and devs just want us to go along with the status quo, any thing that goes against the grain is just 'whining' and 'complaining'. I have been dealing with that in the Armored Warfare forums for a long time. Bring up any topic and get the same old useless replies of: Then dont play it, or "git gud', or "I dont have that issue, so your making it up"....yeah....

Oh ****, you guys mentioned moderation.

nothing.

PGI doesn't give a damn anymore, so why should anyone give them money?

[John McClintock]

Half price coupons for Alcohol and Ambien would be a good start...

[Knight Captain Morgan]

A guarantee for no discos or AFKs on my team.

[Stridercal]

A refund of the money i've already spent.

I just spent $100 this month.

Will spend more soon.

Not for un-obtanium either.

colors, paint jobs, bays ((which you can get for a little work, with all the mc flying around in special events), as long as you can shoot good that is)), maybe a hero or two, not even using them as heros, like a couple of side torso missile/mg hard points matter on an omni mech.

I’d spend money for content but not mechs

[Anjian]

Why would a man spend $75,000 on a game?



Because it made him happy. Just one simple word. Happiness.

Nobody spends a cent on a game that doesn't make them happy.
