Yeah, from what I've seen, the gameplay is smooth enough to be considered "launchable" compared to other betas I've been in (I wasn't in this CB). It's just nearly everything else is alpha stage or non-existant: New Player Experience, Social, MM, Maps, Modes, Balance, Etc... I have no problem with a game working out balance issues last, but they've got way too many things to work on to even get to that point. I've always said when you don't pay for or cut adequate testing, your game/program will likely fail. Another pledge drive for MWO coming soon I'd imagine...

Whats really happening is not them listening, its that they are not listening to "you". There are more and more garbage topics appearing, you really think they are gonna read it all? get real. This too, is a garbage topic.

Doesn't matter how many garbage topics there are there must be more than 20 individual topics about the gauss rifle and that hasn't been touched. Probably another 15 about LRMs being hard to deal with and those have been buffed. They aren't listening to anyone on the boards.

this latest patch has made the game more BROKE then it ever has been to date. do you guys at PGI have a bunch of high school drop out's working for your or what ?

missile damage is way over the top, even more so with Artimis. DHS are still broke, how can you justify a DHS that dose 1.4 still take up 3 crit slots

im fairly close to not even wanting to play the game any more.

In free-to-play games open beta = launch. Stop defending them by insisting otherwise. They need to get it together and fast or they're going to keep losing players.

I will post after any this is beta message until everybody gets it:

This is not a beta. They charge money, so its not a beta anymore. It doesnt matter how you call software. When you charge money and there are no more wipes, the software is released.

Please go on, tell us more how the game is done then. I mean it's not like any other game has -ever- done this before, isn't that right DOTA2, League, HoN...

It's beta. things happen, this is an actual beta, not some D3 wannabe press demo beta, or weeekend beta event to get more people into the potential buying pool an actual real beta. I know it's hard to understand considering the lack of them these days but they DO in fact exist because you are in one.

Having a legit concern and voicing it is one thing, voicing it while spouting off how you demand a refund and demand instant results to how you want the game to be played(or else!) is not only ignorant to how this works, but how the world works. Act with some maturity.

And yes i do have the freakin right to whine because i have paid over $400 dollars on my accounts for a load of crap so u shut up.

Over $400? Wow... that's quite an investment for a game that's still being developed. Have some patience, it'll get fixed. PGI will be working to balance it out again. It's not the end of days.

Really? The game is terrible? IMO it just got a lot better, about LRMs your screen will scream INCOMING MISSILES! So people will know when to take cover.

But yeah, get your refund, it's not like PlanetSide 2 has any bugs at all, NO! /sarcasm

And people complaining about the group limit, IT'S A GOOD THING, stop thinking with your ***, it's not only about YOU and YOUR friends, it's about the whole freaking community and the new players, ESPECIALLY the new players. Your freaking group limit of 8 will be out in 2 weeks, have some bloody patience.

Get over your self the game is broke

[Naduk]

great feed back mate

this is what you just said
game is broke, im not going to tell you what is broken or how it has affected my game play
i dont actually care if you fix it or not, i just came here to complain so that you all know that i am unhappy
you dont need to know why, just get a feel for the vagueness of my unhappiness

[dal10]

as much as I hate to complain about the game, it is just FLAT OUT BROKEN now. Roll back the lrm changes we beg of you...

[ZoomThruPoom]

PGI might try to sell LRM camo for MC only soon in the future.

Might as well as long as your seeing LRM's everywhere each match now.

You would have thought removing the cbill/xp/damage credit for LRM's would have made them almost unused now after patch.

Not so... looks like LRM spammers are gonna spam no matter what.

Especially if you can drop someone with one headshot salvo now??? Headshot salvo???????

Honestly this game isn't anywhere as bad as other games were in Beta. I think too some people attribute a bug with an issue with the game itself where it could just be a setting they've changed or pilot error.

I'm sorry, I've beta tested a lot of games since the mid-nineties and the only game I recall being this poorly thought out and planned was Motor City Online, and that game wasn't even that buggy, but it was set up so when you lost matches you lost money, so instead of racing everyone would just do time trials to make a little bit of money so you could race and lose and go back to time trials. So you had this online "MMO" where everyone played solo. MCO was dead on arrival. This game is showing a similar pattern albeit slightly more forgiving from an economy perspective, but it's also totally riddled with bugs and lacking game modes and maps and chat lobbies that should have been implemented in closed beta for proper testing and balancing.

I understand this is a beta.
I also understand I spend good money to play a game, that allows a certain latitude towards giving some criticism.
If the goal of the Devs is to create an LRM only game, you have succeeded.

I anticipate ECM will help, but the current grouping and flight path of artemis LRM is a huge step backwards in both balance and gameplay value.

I do not believe the intent was to create this imbalance, Doesn't change the fact this was a poor decision imo.

true but that doesnt mean **** when a jenner is circling you and so they keep lock and then they have artemis so terrain cover no longer works and boom boom boom, three volleys and you dead

Which makes LRM's OP unbalanced the game is

No you cannot have my stuff.And yes i do have the freakin right to whine because i have paid over $400 dollars on my accounts for a load of crap so u shut up.

well this is a lot of money. I mean.. come on, this game is still in BETA, you should have know, that things will be ****** up.
Also... you said 'accounts', why would someone need more than one account for this game? (not that i am not thankfull, i mean... you HAVE spend a lot of money that made this game possible.)

[waysted]

I'm amazed something as horribly game breaking as the Artemis was allowed to go live. People have already questioned if they test any of there patches before, but this is downright a joke. LRMs were borderline OP before this patch and now they've officially made their game a pathetic joke.

[Ruinous]

What one patch can break, another can fix. People raging and throwing a hissy fit really need to get some perspective. I'm pretty damn sure the devs will notice any problems and act accordingly to fix things. So they screwed up with this patch? Based on their track record I'm sure this'll be sorted by next week, take a break or a pill and calm the eff down.

[Coltaine]

Cry some more


Hilarious how some people can't understand what a beta is. Well maybe it's better for them to take a break and come back when the game is officially released. It's a win win situation, they don't annoy the devs and us and they can be calmer and live longer.


And before I forget: We need a Mech Warrior version of this video!

About the LRM's: the normal lrms seem to do about the same as the artemis lrms, the steep lrm drop from a greater height lets me hit targets in cover and i often blow out heads now. It changes this into a missle game with much less importance on other mechs or play style. I feel the LRM's are overpowered. P.S. I miss the 8 man groups.

So now, I have a Std engine I lose my side torso and I get cored? AMAZING PATCH!!!!!!!!

And a group nerf, wow PGI, you have listen to WRONG people.

Thnx for making a great game, but no thnx for making it turn to ****

At least you saw what happened. I still had armor and I was dead. No ammo. NOT ONE SINGLE TON OF AMMO.

[Dantiger]

I don't know if you guys remember... but we asked for a LRM buff in the close beta
but we didn't expected that the LRMs would become so overpowered with the artemis
and i'm pretty sure that the buff of the standard LRMs is not intentional (it is probably the implementation of the artemis that bugged the standard LRM )

i'm pretty sure that the devs are aware of your discontent and are working for a fix in the next patch
