DUE TO TECHNICAL DIFICULTIES, EVENT QUEUE IS TEMPORARILY OFFLINE.
THE EVENT WILL BE EXTENDED TO COMPENSATE.

So what happened with this?

Just use Google search

Rather not... I use DuckDuckGo instead, but for MWO Forum the Search simply needs to work!

forum search has been broken forever. I posted not that long ago in the hope it had been fixed during my 18 month absence from MWO... negatory

Wow... Just wow...

Meanwhile they expect us to buy expensive mechpacks :

I'm terribly confused. The event will be "extended" to compensate. No comms at all from PGI. Weird. What's happening, at least some update? I frankly don't care about the event, but it would be nice to follow up on something that happened in 2023.

I suspect (but have no proof) that when PGI fixed the "bolt-on" issue it affected other aspects of the game. Loading times into the training grounds (as an example) has increased significantly. I am on the lower scale of mech ownership (just under 300) and my mech selection screens are quite a bit slower since that fix and patch. Something seems to be broke....

It's a pretty sorry state of affairs and I have to say it looks ominous for the future of this game.

The event queue goes down right before the new year and there was an immediate promise of an extension with a vague claim of 'technical difficulties'. For over two weeks there's been nothing from PGI and the event queue is still down while the other game modes have persisted uninterrupted. One wonders what technical difficulties have been experienced? Couple this with the significant deterioration in performance of the game particularly in and around the MechLab and the future looks bleak.

At this time last year we had a devlog with a roadmap for the year. This year we have what can only be described as customer/community neglect. How difficult could it be to get a single PGI employee to actually post an update? Have you thought how this would be perceived by those who have supported you and the game over the years by buying your content?

Just saying it as it is.

There is a little bit of misinformation in your post that needs to be corrected:
the MWO Roadmap found at https://mwomercs.com/roadmap has actually not been updated since March 2022 https://mwomercs.com...oad-map-update.

I also spent a few minutes searching (using not-the-forum-search) and could not find a more recent devlog than January 2023 https://mwomercs.com...3-plans-devlog. Is that really the most recent devlog?

This is the road map that I was referring to, it was in video form and was published on 14 Jan 2023.

Please update the wording in your post to remove its sharp edges - no misinformation from me o7.

Those high ping players annoy me too!

Why the MatchMaker puts people together in the same game while one has a ping of lower than 125 ms and the other waaay over 125 ms baffles me every damn time!

In the good old days when we could run our own Dedicated Server for any game we wanted the rule was very often to kick anyone with a ping higher than 125 ms to avoid poor hitreg

I miss those days!



Another thing is that I have seen some mechs walking around who seemed to have way more armor/structure/total health than they should, but that could also have been caused by the same ping issues...
