Planetside 2.
Yeah, its sad but true. For three years, I didnt have an iota of desire to play anything other than mwll. WHy? well , I love mechs, I love the whole concept. I played years of vengeance and mercs long after their heyday. As a a matter of fact I have years and years of Mechwarrior gaming under my belt while there were no more than 100 people playing the game any given night..
And that was just fine.
I fired up a round of mwo last night and forest colony pops up. Well , that sucks, hope it isnt running like crap again. Oh , it is, look , fps all in the red. Incidentally, this is only since the last patch, an issue that has been brought up by many on the forums but not addressed by anyone.
Our primary question being, "how come forest runs like crap now, yet snow forest has no issues"?
So anyway, got swarmed by lag jenners and it was all over and exit program.

Then, I fired up planetside 2, running smoothly on all med and high settings<by contrast, mwo is all uber low settings> and proceeded to have a great time for the next 3 hours.
I just dont get what the devs are doing. I dont get how they dont realize that its all about SIMULATING the combat. Something that is the exact opposite of what we have now with the netcode etc or whatever....... is causing the problem with hit detection and the lag.
Its not my ping, Ive got ping under 35 every round, I suppose i should be grateful for that, but what good does it do me if lazers dont register when the crosshair is on a mech> ? Where is the immersion there?
Where is the quality control ?
HOW the HELL did the missile arc get past testing when it the primary weapon in the game<unfortunately>, when it was obvious to me within literally 30 seconds of launching the game ?

So , i wish the game well , though wishing never got anybody anything, Ill check out the game on patchdays<which should be every OTHER day> and ill HOPE to one day see something worth playing again.
Till then , Ill be on the psychotically beautiful continent of Indar.

Its so so sad. Im a rabid mw fan. You know, the type that doesnt care about the strange looks you get from people when you tell them about a game you play with giant robots.
Ive got nothing to talk about at this point with this game.

Oh , and dont worry about the door hitting my mechs *** on the way out, Im in a jenner,
it missed.

I also just got a planetside 2 beta key(i know its going OB next week anyways) and am having a blast playing it as well.

Hopefully they can fix MWO but im loosing faith fast, especially with this BS third person view announcement.

I bought into the alpha squad, haven't touched it in a month or so.

Sad to see you go. Unfortunately I am afraid PGI has a rather small development team and their code seems to have some.... chronic issues. It isn't that the devs aren't addressing the issues of lag, netcode, etc. It's that they have been working on it and working on it and they are having a hard time getting success with this, in my opinion. Hope to see you back once they've fixed these problems!

I got my key last week. Installed and played for about 2 hours. No need to play it anymore. Glad you're enjoying it.

i hope so too, believe me, ill be playtesting each patch and pre v pre will be a big BIG boost, but the beauty of mw for me has always been the skill involved with hitting a light at 500 m with a ppc or an ac10 and at present its something that cant be done reliably at 150 because of reason X.. So , if they can resolve that Im sure mwo would become my primary again. Till then , Im happy there is something out there that satisfies my inner tactician
