You missed the new mech tease, Phil. Admittedly it's not written down and DAMN hard to see, but its there. (Probably means its a flex team project...)

I just want a platnium annihilator

Don't be modest. You want a solid gold one

[Random Carnage]

Roger that. Time to move on.

i guess there are four fp->qp map conversions on there. but still, another blown opportunity.

How do you get 22 minute long video out of that empty roadmap...

Four more qp maps are still more new content than pgi have given us lately and they are still making new mechs and doing balance passes. I mean its not like its an incomplete game and with three distinct modes and hundreds of mechs with a ton of maps to play on its not lacking content either unless you are a long term player who never took any real breaks from the game over the years. Newer games have less dev action and really all we need are new players to keep the servers open. Pgi has the ip for another four years so enjoy the game whilst it lasts.

if they do what they did with the hellbore map it will be ok. the map guy is getting 3 months each, so i think it will turn out ok.

but converting old maps kind of reeks of sunk cost fallacy. i learned while modding other games that it is often less trouble to start from scratch than to try to upgrade an existing asset. the fact that newer games get less dev time might be a reason why modern games suck so much.

I will give them credit, PGI is setting goals that I can actually believe they can reach, unlike the "aiming high and failing to deliver" plans they've set before.
But honestly, I expected more.

Come on, at least try to tweak the random queue game modes
or faction play
or solaris

You can actually change your Platinum paint job to Gold!
I also wants my Gold Annihilator

Gold Annihilator = Jade Falcon Gold + Platinum Camo !

Platinum Annihilator = Titanium White + Platinum Camo !

Gun Metal Grey Annihilator = Obsidian Black + Platinum Camo !

By the way, my Gold Atlas AS7-D-DC(P) has not been shot by fellow team members (yet)!

On one hand, obviously it's the most unimpressive roadmap in gaming history.

On the other hand, if you're surprised by this then you haven't been paying attention to this game's development. This game has been in maintenance mode for quite a long time so none of this should come as a shock.

It just is what it is. Whether or not we blame the developers or grant them some leeway, it should've been obvious to everybody that this game isn't going to get any kind of impressive new content or w/e.

I have to comment the honesty of the roadmap. However, it is disappointing. Nevertheless I suppose since the engine is so heavily modified no one could add new stuff anyway.

So, is a MWO 2 planned?

Why is a penis with a condom over his tip prodding PGI?!

[LordNothing]

after getting over the initial disappointment, and thinking about it, i really dont think its as doom and gloom as the video states. as usual il be back when the next interesting thing happens. i think that would be lucky charms.

at some point there will be no interesting thing, that's when the game dies.

Just gonna sit here and let the vindication flow all over me.

I have screamed at you multiple times that this game is headed backwards and all I get is trash.

TTB has also shat all over this roadmap.

Get on your knees and acknowledge the reality.

In what way? While the game certainly isn't getting the focus a newer or more popular game gets it's also not totally abandoned or has lost any content?

[Mr Nice Mech]

Meep, you are a solid player and I respect you every time you drop in a match with me.

Watch the Sean Lang vid and the TTB vid, what are the major points of contention? MATCHMAKER!!!!! It is a busted mess. No new content. Minimal patching.

Sell mechs, please. We all want you to make money. But as long as 2/3/4 elite players can drop in and club baby seals, your numbers will ALWAYS decline.

Fix your match maker.

To be honest I don't care about the mm. Games have been a coin flip since before premades were allowed to join qp and they still are. To take an opposite stance since I lone wolf its nice to sometimes have a coordinated lance on your side using voip to rally the pubbies into action and its also nice to have them on the other side for me to go hunt and try my skills. Plus the reality of the situation is that the entire reason they allowed premades into qp was low population issues dragging out wait times and no amount of code jiggling is going to solve that. So unless we get an infusion of new blood on a large scale the mm is only going to get more sluggish and mismatched as pop drops further. At least they are working on stuff that has a direct immediate benefit like more maps and more mechs and more balance passes? I'll take what I can get out of a twice sold game at the end of its marketable life. ~shrug~

[Mr Nice Mech]

A good lance on your team is invaluable, but let's be honest, most group drops are drunk or are just bumblefucking around.

I love a good drunk drop, more power to you, but the matchmaker doesn't care if the 4-person group can barely scrape T4, they are being dropped against 228. gg to the other 8 randos on the drunk 4-person drop, you are there to be sacrificed.

THIS is where PGI have dropped the ball. Dumping 8 individuals into a dumpster match because you have to cater to the 2/3/4-person drops is a failure.
