If Aug. 7 is the release date. Why am I typing in a forum instead of playing mechwarrior. "beta status pending" is not playing a game. What does Release date mean? Let's see what the web says: a release date is:

the time, as the day, part of the day, and sometimes thehour, on or at which release copy may be published or broadcast.





seems strange then to find myself not playing the game...

Maybe my calendar is wrong?



Maybe I am dreaming... the world is an illusion?



Maybe The hour is important here? What hour is your release date then? Is it to be released on the 13th then?



I want to play!

I still have a few more hours before I can patch and re-try. If the issue still exists I expect to here from the devs soon... Either a hot patch in progress or something to that effect; I was worried that the issue would still exist post patch, as I said, It seems the issue is different than the CtD problem they say they fixed... I could live with that at this point...

This isnt what I expected nor is it what I wanted. I payed for the founders package I am a huge fan of the battletech universe. Getting told I am now paying for an unfinshed game made me cringe. I made the call to buy the founders pack but to hear all the details didnt make me happy, I have played too many beta's and to hear I am paying for a open beta dosent sound good at all. Ghost recon online hit open beta 7-8-12 its still in open beta 30 days later, so will I be paying for a beta game here for 90 days or do I get what I payed for a release game? That is my question to the devs.

I did play gro closed beta and gave up on it, the devs didnt do any thing for balance durring that time frame, that was over 90 days ago.

I feel the same way,even though they explained it some of the stuff is still blurry of what exactly going on

[Kize]

I don't exactly feel the same way... that being said... I do however think this issue is very well known and affecting many individuals.

Basic responses I have heard:
"It is your internet"
"It is your graphics card"
"It is your drivers"

The problem is it really can't be any of these... so it is better just to wait it out until they fix it than to consistantly be crashing to the lab or desktop and then have to wait for the battle to end to use my mech again. Maybe play world of tanks or starcraft 2 or shogun 2 or something else more productive until this is resolved.

I just really hope this issue is fixed by launch =). Star Wars: The Old Republic had an issue almost identical to this that blocked productive gameplay in beta and never got fixed until almost a month out of beta... almost 30% of the population quit just because of that alone and the developers kept insisting it was the publics equipment not theirs. (I am guestimating but if you read the forums it was fairly close).

this is still closed beta any founder mc spent will be lost do to resets

[Flesh Runner]

Sounds good, thanks for the info.

[Squire]

Love my Atlas

[Harlock Fredrick]

Cant wait to see how release will hold out! i cant wait to see more mechs in the field.

[Deathman Kenshi]

So you say me I can spent those 33K MC and get them all back after some kind of wipe in near future with release of Open Beta ?

I thought we were supposed to get some kind of headstart from these packages.

I guess we will keep XP on founder mechs or something.

You're saying the founders program is being extended, how long? After playing closed beta I'm on the fence about upgrading to Legendary status and I'd like a solid date I have to decide by.

Uh, hey 0d1n, do you realize you broke NDA by saying you've been playing the closed beta?

[MaxShepherd]

Great to be here, I want to ask when will the Game be free to download and play? August 7th has come and gone I still cant find any info on this. Can someone answer this with a straight answer?

[Rock dArc]

Max, August 7th was the date all Founders were given access to the beta. Although it was also the original cut-off date for purchasing a Founder's pack, it has been extended and the new cutoff date has not been announced. Anyone who purchases a Founder's pack between now and the new cutoff will also be added to beta.

Apart from all of that, YES Mechwarrior Online is a free2play game and anyone will be able to download it once the game goes public, the date for which has not yet been given.
