I was going to click it on as soon as it popped up but that was before 3rd person view.

If 3rd person is added I will not ever turn it on.

[SirLANsalot]

not till CW for me. Won't even touch it till then, have my founders mechs to work with anyways.

[Obadiah333]

Probably immediately. That way I can use it up before they implement 3rd person view, compelling me to quit.

[Rejarial Galatan]

any other founders want to chime in?

[Kdogg788]

I'm doing it immediately so I can build my mech roster for CW. There's no incentive to wait. Plus once I do, I have 8 months of premium.

[Rejarial Galatan]

8 months holy jeebus!

[Kdogg788]

There's really no reason not to. Any founder not doing this is putting themselves behind in the development process. The premium time XP bonus is really the key here.

I'll turn it on when they release community warfare.

[cmopatrick]

well, as someone who has a completely free second persona, i know i will probably turn it on the minute i can for this one. i have a lot more sympathy for the free grinders than i used to... it is brutal, especially if you don't have lots of hours to dedicate.

If people are willing to grind hours on this game, then it's not unreasonable to by a little MC for it.

These are MY current issue list that might make me take a break after free premium time is up.

1) Netcode.. having 15 ping I shouldn't have to lead a target from 50 feet away with a laser.

2) Lights having free protection in water, yet do full damage shooting out of it and no speed loss

3) Lights taking 0 damage going 149 KPH into a building (Maybe fixed whenever collision goes back in? I doubt it)

4) Overheat text bug, happens all the time and is an instant game over in a fire fight. It's unrealistic to expect a player to power down twice to fix it while being shot.

5) Blowing up while still having integrity left.. THIS HAPPENS A LOT. In fact.. here is a video showing exactly what happens .. (at 56 seconds) http://www.youtube.c...&v=IAoSgFILkhA#!

6) Crash to desktop

7) Gauss needs to be changed on K2's, make the graphic bigger for it to be shot off. Other mechs more heat and/or 90M min range

8) Afkers, People who dc while loading into the game (Possible black screen bug, but you can still type.. at least tell your teammates)

9) 4 fps issue.. I've had it happen to me ONCE, I know it goes on a lot more often for more people. Not a big issue to me, but for a lot of people it is.

10) Mechbay breaks if you customize your mech too much at once.. having to do little modifications at a time is annoying.

11) Arm ballistics fired by crosseyed pilots.

Okay founders, here is a question for you! Once they give us that button, when do you plan on turning it on? Are you waiting for something specific to be added into the game like a mech or something else?

I for one, am waiting to turn my founders clock on, for the arrival of Clan Factions as a playable option. I am, by my own history in this franchise, more of a Clan Wolf player than anything else, and I do not care much for the InnerSphere style of game play. So, thats my own personal answer to my above question, what is yours?

It might be silly for you to wait over a year to use it. IMO

[Rejarial Galatan]

not a year. if you did not know, the games time line is 1 day MWO is 1 Day Earth Real Time. The clan invasion of the Inner sphere is, ready for this? ALREADY HAPPENING. They have taken Phelan Kell a few months ago, and on March 20, 3050/2013 strike the innersphere in FULL FORCE. Ive 4 months until then. Maybe a month more after that for them to become factions. Not so long a wait now. BUT, ive waited 18 years to resuit up as a member of Clan Wolf.

I'll turn it on when they release community warfare, or the clans hit, or there's something new to grind for, OR there's something - anything - worthwhile to spend MC on.

At their current rate, that means it could be awhile.

soo.....no

a few things. in the video, the comment mentions a few bugs. the shot not going to the reticule isn't a bug, his reticule was on the land mass just a few meters in front of him, hence it veering off into the corner

but anyway, the guy's death at 56 seconds is not a bug for dying with integrity left. it's another bug, one they've already mentioned they're working on, namely that the paper doll isn't updating immediately. exposed left torso with partial internal damage, then he takes a hit to the left torso

[One Medic Army]

Well, I want to wait until Community Warfare's in, but I may turn it on earlier for the faster cbill and exp gain.
Fortunately I've been running all my builds lean, so it shouldn't be hard to run them w/o premium.

[Johnny Reb]

Basically will wait till open warfare. Got enough and will make enough without the bonus.

You honestly believe this??? You are holding off your premium time for a timeline that you believe will happen to the day?? So when have PGI met claimed release?? If you think clans will invade by March then you really are hopeful, man we still only have 4 maps, 9 inner sphere mechs, and no community warfare. Not to mention little things game breaking like no collision, terrible hit detection and an at times very unstable game engine.

I hope for your sake and your dreams this may happen but I really do very much doubt it. And I expect you to resurrect this post and feed it to me if I am for some miracle wrong!!!

[Rejarial Galatan]

after waiting, 18 YEARS, 4 months or a year, either way, its worth the time, because, so help me god, the INSTANT the Timber Wolf is in my stable, I click ACCEPT and never look back.

[SmilingElf]

Planning to wait a bit to hit the button myself. Part of it is wanting to see how non-premium time runs, for comparisson. The larger portion, however, is I'm waiting for the client to be appreciably less buggy. As it stands, my play time seems to be a coin toss between fun and frustration due to issues with the mysterious netcode.
