Also: guy above me? If you really think this game is irretrievably flawed, why are you still here? If you don't think it's irretrievably flawed, then why are you posting troll comments about how badly, in your expert view, the devs have mismanaged this entire project from its inception?

To paraphrase the old saying, it's time to take the dump or get off the pot. You can't have your steaming poo-cake and still fling that poo at the devs.

P.S. "Because the game isn't finished and completely balanced yet" is not an "excuse;" it's a valid reason.


Then PGI never should have started taking money from players. Indeed they should have done a kickstarter campaign to get the funds they needed. Instead they rejected that out of hand and are now beholden to a publisher.

This game is not a Beta. It is an Alpha. To call it otherwise demonstrates a severe lack of understanding of the software life cycle.

The ONLY reason why 75% of the people playing this game right now is because it is Mechwarrior. That is why I'm here and more than likely why you are here. This demonstrates the problem with the game. The unfinished nature of the game makes a lot of people quit after awhile... leaving only the hard core behind.

I liked it, but then came the PoS ECM patch that threw most of the fun in this game to the trashbin in favor of brawler catering. Now I don't play it much anymore.(And am fading off the forums too) Until they decide to actually balance the game and its weapons/devices/variants/etc, I'll likely not play much anymore at all. What used to provide hours of fun now only gives <1 in a few 300m pewpew matches because half the weapons are junk and every variant will build the same. I'm sorry, releasing a new LRM Carrier Mech doesn't help when ECM is still OP as hell and you can't even shoot.

I love it, have since I started back in mid-August. It's had ups and downs during the time, but I think PGI has done a pretty good job at listening to the community. The most current patch is a good example. Yeah I'm sure there are things contain within that last patch some people don't like, and if enough people don't like something I'm sure they'll adjust it until the right balance is found.

haven't played much in ages,
i got bored of just shooting stuff (battletech-FPS)
and annoyed/bored of the other issues you've all been through too
theres no plot to the game at all ATM; i was hoping for a storyline
(a good mechwarrior game should have a story driving the action, for me anyway)
so i'm playing other stuff atm, and just looking in to m'ehwarrior once a month or so to see if anything much has changed

TL;DR i got bored in beta and left

I love this game, only thing I would like to see is price drops, they seem to alienate most people around here
