Just saying.

Recommended this game to a bunch of friends at work today.

Don't think they'll thank me in the morning. With free WoW trials, Tera trials, SWTOR ftp, not to mention established brands like LoL and TF2, you can't drop the ball like this. Please feed this back to your live production team.

Thanks.

uhm patches are well-documented and always hit on tuesdays at the same time (barring delays) Not sure what the point of this post was?

[INAPPROPRIATE NAME 0001]

Yeah it's always been like this. We've told them repeatedly; they don't care.

[Blaank]

Why was I stuck with no way to post in forums? Other people were posting fine.

Appealing to the game developers on a public forum? [REDACTED]

Really sums up all that's wrong with how PGI does things, doesn't it?

Hah. Good one.

...You were joking right?

[Felicitatem Parco]

Downtime notices have been given for months, and they were given for this, too.

We were, and always have been, told that the servers are going wdown from 10am-~1 or 2pm Pacific Time on every patch Tuesday.

Fret not.

[Agent 0 Fortune]

but you didn't send the OP a certified letter, you can't just assume that noob know Nov 20 is patch day, even if it is widely publicized. now he is shamed in front of his WoW friends, because they all skipped work/school to download MWO at 10:00am.

[Felicitatem Parco]

Missing published information is a common rookie mistake.

I did it, we all did it, and we all still do it... mistakes happen.

This invalidated the entire statement.

Probably more so as this really isn't an "MMO" anyway at this point. Not sure why he compared it to them. Then again he also suggests that LoL is an established brand while Mechwarrior having been around since the 90's is not.

Stiil, being unable to log in to the forum when the game server is down kinda sucks.

Nice contribution mister two posts.. if you had been around long enough you would know how the patching works as well as the patch notes release. Maybe spending some time reading the forums and learning rather than posting garbage you would learn a few things? Then again you are a two post dillhole who immediately grabs for the pitchfork and torch ready to storm the castle huh..

Erm, ok. Well I respect your entitlement to your opinion. But in respect to your argument, I'd like to highlight two things:

1) Other people are other being sarcastic or have some level of agreement

2) "Nice contribution mister two posts.. if you had been around long enough you would know how the patching works as well as the patch notes release." - Well...yeeeeees.

But if that was the case, I'd already be an engaged user. Are you suggesting that PGI's business model should revolve around telling new players to xxxx off and get a clue? Or are you suggesting that as a new user I should be expected to dig through the forums to find outage information, rather than being advised of it clearly when I first visit the website dedicated to the game? If the latter, then have you considered a job in IT? I hear being supercilious and obtuse are in high demand.

[JimSuperBleeder]

Even if you don't see the official post there are tons of threads about the upcoming patch all over the place.

Oh, wait, you're serious, let me laugh even harder...

They have gotten better, but the "undocumented patch notes" threads would like to have a word with you

Note: I'm not angry or belittling anyone here, just think it is funny.

And yeah, they need in-game announcements saying "Server coming down in 30 minutes" or whatever, and a better "Front Page News" thing to announce upcoming patches or downtime.
