I could really care less about shooting at Devs, I'd rather have the patch notes or if the patch isn't coming out AGAIN on time something about it first before some silly event. How about some priorities Piranha?

MWO is basically live. They have to juggle running it as a live game and finishing it. The fact that there are only four out of their 40 or so members that are doing this is a sign that they're trying to do just that. They're letting us shoot at their more prominent members while everyone else works.

What a great idea from PGI. Allowing everyone who is frustrated with the progress of the game to hunt them down with Mech's and pitch forks. I think this sacrifice says a lot about PGI's staff's character.

Finish the game and I would love to join in. Right now my jenner rubber bands everywhere, my gauss shots don't register damage, I continually crash to desktop, I have to drop because of the 4fps bug and each game leaves me with a pilot who is either credit farming or quits after taking some damage to keep his K/D ratio looking good.

I would rather hear they were working to fix these issues tomorrow.

That all said, perhaps I will show up to hit them 4 times in the CT with my GaussCat to register no damage, drop to 4fps so I can't see them, watch them drop once the take some damage to avoid anyone getting bragging rights and then I can CTD without knowing who won the match.

Sounds like a blast.

(sorry for the rant, but perhaps some is deserved.)

Hey Devs, hey guys...

...you four need to do this more often! When I read this, I thought "oh my G..". Awesome idea!

6-8 pm PST = 2-4 am CET :unsure:


I got a whole readyroom full of european PPC-jockeys waiting to burn their name in your pelt. Yet, our Comstar-Jumpship "The Greenwich" has its Mechbays closed for that time.

Uhmm...did you have a look at the time friend?

This is simply 4 devs making a long evening in the office and having some fun. What they should do way more often!

And: you can bet youre behind that about the whole office can be found in game, trying around and having fun...but without official name or something.

I will be there....

If one of the developers winds up dropping on my team, I will do my level best to keep him alive. It's the least I can do to thank them for resurrecting this epic game. Of course, I'll probably end up tripping over his kills as I struggle to keep up.

If he drops on the other team... can I get a Paul bobblehead for my cockpit as a trophy for taking him out? That would take Community Warfare to a whole new level.

See you there!

Uhmmmm nooooo....

dont start that...you know the matches are gonna be moderated by the NGNG team?!? People will look over your shoulder from all over the world...you simply NEED TO do something special like...

... like overheating in front of them and blowing yourself to pieces.
... like going AFK to grind Cbills.
... like playing a Commando.
... like using the K2 to Gaus them away in 2 shots.
... something really really special...no one would do usually :rolleyes:

And dont forget, if in doubt...go for the Jenner!


PS: Ohh yeah...the "get out of my way you noob" is a nice statment if one of them is messing your aim.

Serious: the thing that is REALLY instresting me, will be the Vids you can see the next day on youtube (or on the NGNG site). If they show ALL matches, or only the matches that are looking good for potential customers. Will we see AFKers in their match? PUG's playing their own stuff alone? Insulting people at the end of a match? All the stuff we players encounter on our daily games...or just the nice ones...
