What I think most of want to know if can we choose when to activate our premium accounts. If you don't want to use them right of the bat or are on holidays or something, you really don't want to waste them.

Usually, I do agree with the post that it is disappointing they are extending the Founder's package. In this case, it looks like it is them still "developing" the game and that it will end in a few months so it is no biggie. I do believe in that at one point and not 20 years someone mentioned for the sake of argument since I'm sure the money will all be gone by then.

Keep up the good work and I hope to patch soon!

Erm, one last thing, don't mind the people upset about using Premium time at open Beta. Don't forget that Mechwarrior, esp. MW4 was out a LONG time ago and beta is like our alpha is now. I'm sure in the future, it'll be pre-alpha is like our open beta now. Gotta love marketing. ;)

Wait a minute common sense from Mechwarrior Players -- -- -- Sigh. Oh well looking forward to the update and realease of founders packages. One thing 95% stable? I hope update addresses the dropouts and crashes that have been occurring way to much of late and yes I tried all the advice on how to fix and it works sometimes and sometimes nothing I do works. Oh well I am at minium specs guess it is time to update. Have fun and enjoy to all, life may not be fair but at least we can try to act civilized, I hope.

No, we can't. They've answered this many times.

Thanks for the update.

With this I conclude that everything? tied to user accounts will be rolled over from open beta to live.

According to the actual post from the dev, there will be only one more reset, and thats going from closed to open. No more scheduled resets..
Once we announce we are in Open Beta (Date TBD), what will change?
  • The game is 95% stable.
  • New features are still being added.
  • New content is added on a regular basis.
  • Final data reset.
  • Balance and tuning are still happening regularly in response to scaling up the user base.

So our progress from this point onward will not be reset... Thats how im reading it anyway.

okay first why the mudslinging no need for that and its a good thing that they extend founders package so more can buy it because it will give them more resources to make the game better i for one do not care if someone start out better than the others, because it might be F2P but when someone like me gives 120$ i do exspekt something in return, but again it was not why i spend 120$ the reason i did that was that i wanted to give what i could to what i belive is the first decent attempt at a good mechwarrior game in 10 years yes that one in was it 2004 or 2006 was baaaaad!

second thing is as stated we should have acces to our funders mechs today at what time can we exspekt that its almost 5 pm here and no founders mechs yet?

anyway devs i want to congratulate you on your good work on the game some mechs do need some more weapon slots i belive for more adverseti however but ill post some under suggestions when i get around to it :D

Jah. Going to add my voice to this squeaking wheel.

What time Aug. 7th are we talking about? 'Cause it's Aug. 7th here in Dallas, I've got a day off, and I'm pumped!

Are we talking mid-afternoon? So that the west coast can get up, have some breakfast, get into work, get a second cup of coffee, have a morning briefing, roll over to the servers and update them?

'cause that's totally alright. Just curious WHEN Aug. 7th this is kicking off.

Keep up the good work guys. You know you're doing a good job when people are so pumped about your product, they keep harrassing you about the specificity of it's particularities.

[edit] Pretty sure the beta will update before we get an answer. 8am West Coast. See y'all online.

Keep in mind that as of today MWO is still in CLOSED BETA. And what the devs have said is that those who have purchased the founders program will have access to all the perks of the program starting today, but the timer on them DOES NOT START until Open Beta is officially loaded into the servers. So say it takes a year (example time) for MWO to officially go into Open Beta, then you have a year of perks prior to the countdown actually starting.

Hope this eases your concerns.

You may know that the servers are located in California, that means it wont be uploaded until some time around I would say 09:00 - 11:00 server time. Which is a sad and unfortunate thing for those of you across the pond. =(
