Russ: What we really are seeing is the rebirth of Mechwarrior."

ME: No we are not, by ignoring the major faction of this game that do NOT want this, you are securing the fastest demise of a game ever. WE DO NOT WANT THIRD PERSON PERIOD. IT IS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGING THE GAME.

So don't play in 3rd person?

so don't play third person... its a separate optional gametype and you won't be forced to play it or against anyone with it.

IMO, I think the fear of allowing 3rd person into the game is that it -might- supplant 1st person...

I mean -IF- 3rd person somehow increases the playerbase by a factor of 2-3, would anybody be surprised if CW suddenly became 3rd person only?

Which begs the question, is CW going to be both 1st and 3rd person view? Or just 1st person?


Bhaa, wrong topic to talk about this anyway, keep up the good work keeping us enraged informed NGNG!

Also nice youtube channel.

I am 90% sure Russ stated already that the Meta-Game will remain 1st person only. I will have to re-listen to the podcast's with him on it.

Also, thank you!

We are trying to get more and more content for the community, we also recently got a 400 man TS server for people to use. All info on the new server is on our site.

Russ was giving some good info when Bomabdil shut him down to speak for him....

Last one I listened too (previous Russ episode) the announcers were going off on how the devs should not listen to the community.

Not so good....

[Farix]

I wouldn't put too much stock into that poll. For one, the majority of those that are currently playing MWO are those who prefer 1P. Since they are currently playing MWO, they are more likely to hang around on the forums. Second, those who would like 3P aren't likely playing MWO right now because there is no 3P option; nor are they hanging around the forums to express their support for the option. (Why go to the forms of a game you are not playing?) So the poll already has a huge systemic bias against 3P just by who is being polled. It's like sampling all Democrats (or Republicans) on who they will be voting for President.

to all who say: so do not play third person. This works, to a point, a very small point. What happens when CW is in place and the Meta Game is operational, and it comes time to fight for a planet that is defended by only the 3rd POV crowd and the 1st POV crowd is slated to try for that planet? Do not fool yourselves, this can and will likely happen. What then? Force us ALL into 3rd? that angers the SIM players, force us into 1st? That angers the arcade players. This breaks CW and the meta game.

The universe implodes from the statistical implausibility of the situation I believe. I mean unless it's trolling anyway, because otherwise finding 8-12 players for a game shouldn't be that hard. Basic game design.

I think you need to go back and listen again....

[Rejarial Galatan]

there is no way to implement it that is positive. period. if you think it will be optional, you are kidding yourself. They claim they do not want to divide the player base, which means, if I do not want to use it, I end up facing those who DO use it, advantage THEM. This is if they refuse to divide us.

IF they divide us, what of Community Warfare? What happens when we find a planet defended by one POV or the Other? We forced into one or the other? Or do we not get to capture it, because we are a divided community? Face it, this will happen. do not kid yourself.
