I've noticed a lot of new players on TS who dont understand coms or role warfare. It seems they think voice coms work like the in game text chat,ie- i'm going to run cave in my atlas, or i'm scout hunting Atlas. They all still take off in 10 directions and want to do their own thing with no regard for team outcome and then gripe when they get rolled that PGI sucks and the game is broke. They just can't follow direction or understand focus fire. When waiting in LFG on TS there seems to be a lack of people who"get it" and when I ask the que how long they have been playing they get defensive, or if u help them by forming a group with them they get mad when I start throwing out directions. Are all the real players in merc clans? Guess i'll have to update my resume. At this rate bringing back 8 man teams may not be enough.

I've been using teamspeak for a while, and this never happened. What server are you connecting too? I use both comstars and no guts no galaxie.

Could you elaborate more on why you think this game has become a failure? And please refrain from generalized sweeping statements. Explain why it has become a failure to you. Or rather explain why you are still here.

Foundersitis is manifested by two reactions..
One of undying support and denial.
the other rage.

A strong analogy to this malady is the emotions one feels when they hear their significant other is cheating on them.

Or you know, people who actually are able to both enjoy something while admitting it has a LOT of flaws?

3/10, I responded.

[Demetirus]

I'm still here. Been here since about Sept.

Or is it all just ******** folk around here these days? Between streak cats, Guass cats and camping ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz fights and a huge lack of solid core players this games falling to pieces. Too much interest from people who should have nothing to do with the MW world, THere's plenty of 'fast paced' mech games to crave there arcade style play. MechWarrior IS NOT THAT PGI!

Elitist, ignorant, drivel. This is the kind of thing that gives Founders a bad name.

Closed beta tester here. Closed beta tester who's glad we're getting new players. Who doesn't have a problem with streakcats and gausscats and whatever build killed you in your last game that you've decided must be OP. Who thinks telling people to go play a "faster mech game" is the height of stupid.

[DaveFromAbove]

I was in closed beta and I'm still around. In fact I've been playing more and more often as I've been getting used to the new mechanics. Some people have mentioned this, and it is totally true, that this game is not ideal for solo play. I agree and support that fact. Learn to play as a team or you will not succeed. This is not COD or Halo. If the Dev's dumb this game down to that level, that's when I stop playing. I appreciate the focus and role warfare and team play.

[BA Dillard]

I have been here since Closed beta started, May 31. Love seeing all the new players. The more the merrier. I love this game and will stick with it.

For some reason I don't experience any of the performance problems some are experiencing. I feel for those of you that do.

So, welcome to all new players. May your MWO experience be as fullfilling and awesome as mine is.

[Thorn Hallis]

Guess all the closed beta tester are playing MWO, not Forumwarrior Online.

[stjobe]

Closed beta tester since August, just playing the game and having fun, luring my friends into the crack that is piloting a proper 'mech (a Commando, of course!).

Oh, and trying to be helpful on the forums

[Jaxom08]

Been here since July and have no plans to leave.......besides I have too much fun reading all the posts that say the game sucks and it's gonna fail......of course I've always enjoyed watching people make fools outta themselves.

[pjnt]

I'm still around, but don't play anymore. Just ****** me off they have not fixed so many glaring bugs over months and months.

Please. Just read the forums for the many many threads on the game breaking issues MWO has. No point in rehashing it all here.

Yep stil around since Closed Beta,

And yes, the game is still in development, and yes the game has bugs, balance and matchmaking issues, and I don't care, because it is still a Beta, and the game is improving (and yes, some bugs are keep coming back)

But a lot of people just expect to get a complete finished game on a silver platter. But they don't realize that the Beta community can improve the game, by playing the game, reporting bugs, give feedback and advice.And if you don't want to contribute and just whine, just wait, and come back in 3 months, nobody is stopping you.

And I paid for an Elite Founder Package, and i spent more time with this game than other AAA games. If you look at the time/money ratio, the money was very well spent

[icey]

i can tell you with certainty that ten times as many founders quit these forums because of complete trash topics like these than have ever thought about quitting the game.

What certainty? None. There are no numbers available to confirm or deny your claim. I can only judge on what I see ingame, in my clans forums and here. People are leaving. I see the same names showing up in matches way too often. Because people are leaving. People in my clan no longer want to play, people are leaving. People here say they are no long playing.

What certainty? Please. I don't play any more but hope things get better. So from what I can tell - the OP is right.

[Grraarrgghh]

You can throw about 500 goons into that list as well.

[Joe Mallad]

I would go as far as to say 85% to 90% of the first beta testers are still around. Most don't come on the forums much anymore because they are playing the game more and more. I have been a tester since just before the Founders packages were even offered and was one of the first 1000 to buy my package. We all have had our issues with the game up to now and some are probably taking time out to try other games. We all know that in the gaming industry... Wait a day or two and something new is about to be released. The gaming market is so flooded anymore its hard to keep set on any one game. With games like MWO, PGI will have to keep a steady stream of new content and events coming or people will move on. It's just the nature of the beast anymore these days.

[wwiiogre]

Still Here, not playing as much as I could, but other games have my interest at this moment since I am truly waiting for Community Warfare.

But each patch like in all beta versions of a game even an open beta, have hiccups and each time PGI listens to the community usually and fixes any errors.

We are testing everything, Does PGI need to tell you that you are testing something specific? The entire game is being tested, from the store to the mech lab every time you or me or anyone logs on. How we earn cbills, how we spend them, how each of our specific mechs does in every single game is being tested by PGI and the data is looked at every single day.

Running and fighting around in Beta and still do.

Been in a premade group in beta and still am.
I didn't notice any of our group stopping to play since it got open beta. (could be one or two I didn't know much, but of those I know, nobody quit)
