When I saw the forums' reaction to PGI nerfing General Discussion:


When you aim for the CT and hit the cockpit:


When I'm in my DDC and someone on my team says to follow the Atlas:


Ammo explosions in a nutshell:


When you walk around a corner and run into the entire enemy team:


...but you manage to get a shot off on your way out:


When your pug sticks together and focuses fire:


Trying to fight more than one light at once:


AC/40 vs. anything with a big CT:


Whenever I see someone actually use Machine Guns:

Trippy, but... what stage are we in?

Communi-meme Warfare?



Or has the forum changes let loose the invasion?



Personally I like the new categories! Only thing that I feel is missing is if I want to discuss a problem with the game that's not just related to the newest patch.

"We've identified three kinds of players," Piranha Games creative director Bryan Ekman adds. There's the lone wolf, "the guy who doesn't care about role playing,(or) being a part of any organizational structure whatsoever.

"Then we have factions, and factions are NPC factions. They belong to the universe, they're a part of the lore. These are the great houses of BattleTech.

"These guys participate in territory control in a more passive way. Their matches affect the universe, but indirectly.

"And then you have the Merc Corps. These are the guilds, these are the clans, these are the guys who come together, band together, fight together and play together and actually want to control as much territory as they can through their actions.

The lone wolf play style is what players currently have in the game today; the NPC factions will be free-to-play; the Merc Corps, on the other hand, will be monetized. "We're looking at possibly charging a one-time setup fee," Ekman said. "This is just to make sure there's not a flood of one-player corps.

No, we will not require players to have a Premium Account to play in a Merc Unit.

Yes, we are considering monetizing aspects of Community Warfare.

• A small one-time MC and/or CB fee to create a Merc Corp*.
  
• Some aspects of CW will reward players with MC, we are considering a Premium Account requirement to participate in these rewards. This will not prevent non-paying customers to participate in all aspects of CW with their friends and teammates.
  
• If we decided to launch Private Matches, they will likely require a Premium Account to cover costs of hosting a match on our hardware.

* We are looking at ways to prevent/mitigate name reserving and parking. We may simply require players to have a minimum of 1 company or 12 active players to maintain a valid status.




At this time no final decisions have been made.
