Sorry PGI but with this massiv switching forth and back in Balance it is for some players
in some point totally Inplayable.

EU players have Problems with Ballistic Weapons and Piloting Light Mechs.
Atm Ballistics and Light Mechs are vastly overpowered.

Energy Builds are thanks to the nerfing of Energyweapons which YOU bugged.
( First nerfing DHS not noticing that the Engine DHS are still at 2.0 then nerfing the Weapons heat)
are limitied to 70 to be playable.

Both Points was one of the Major Reasons EU players prefered Missle Builds.

The List goes on with lot more Bugs, like Framerate Bug etc.

So please insert a Button: Want to Cease Premium Time.

It cost one Day Prem to Stop Premium Time
And whenever someone plays more than one Game on one Day it will again start to count.

That would be the only way to have a Chance to get some players back when you sortet the foolishness out you produce out of Lack of Time and Hotfixing.


Edit.:
I have an Energybuild Cataphract, and i like it a lot, but in 30% of the Games i hit nothing thanks to netcode lack... in games it works i do up to 700 dmg... and it work with ECM on but betweens 18-22 here in Germany it is totally unplayable. As i hit NOTHING at all even if a "hit" it on my Client... lot of No-Damage Hits..

You shouldn't have started it. You aren't gettng a "pause" button, lol. This would be abused right away by players(Including you) for free time in between when they are actually playing. Us smart players aren't firing ours yet and that's what you should have done. I'm saving mine for when the game gets another mode of some kind of non-crap weapon balance. Also, they just gutted my favorite role, LRM boating, so why would I want to start the clock right now?

[Elkarlo]

Because i started it not thinking they day they introduced it, and i hat nice Days Premium.
I mostly didn't played a 75% free restock LRM boat...

But i think of the Stop Premium timer as a silent "Vote" button... when suddenly all Prem acc's are Stopped then PGI knows they have an major issue...

Now they will only see that they have an Major Issue after 3 Month when all founders don't Buy Prem again...
and then it is too late because the Game is dead even before it started.

[AlexEss]

It was a one time deal... Your premium time is either on or off... and if you activated it there will be no way to turn it off. It is sad that your internet provider don't agree with the PGI servers but that is how it is right now.

No we do not need any extra premium pause button.

[Ghostsuit]

Didn't start mine because it's not stable enough...that and I'm working about 99% of December.

[Sinluien]

and i want free premium time...

mistakes happen dude, if your that upset, i would have just posted thx, i will not be renewing. and explain why. asking for something thats never happened anywhere and totally not going to happen here ever seems like kind of a waste.

i don´t, please refuse from generalizing your issues

and i am sure that someone already stated that, but :

PGI said that the activation would be permanent, no way to stop it once you hit the button...
if you activated, you have to live with it, you could have waited a few weeks more...

I have not started my premium time either. I will start it later when a few more of the bugs and kinks are worked out.

[Sean von Steinike]

No one forced you OP to start your premium time and you knew full well that the game is is still in beta, a lot features still needing to be added, and changes and balancing will continue to happen.

what?

Can you describe the abuse?

"Abuse is the improper usage or treatment for a bad purpose" -wikipedia

Whats the bad purpose? Why is it bad?

I just do not get it. It is not a bad purchase to want to pause premium time. It is a good thing to spend time with your family during chrismass for example, and pausing increases the chances you will do that.

So, I define pausing premium time as a good thing, which is not abuse, by definition.

[MouseNo4]

Sorry but your stuck with your own actions. You clicked it, you have to deal with the consequences. Clicking that buttons indicates you are happy with the game in its current state and for every change to happen in the next 3 months.

Again, the fault is all your own.

I myself have no intention on clicking it any time soon. I am NOT currently happy with the game and it is doubtful I will be happy with changes made in the next 3 months.

Basically I just don't believe the game is worth my premium time. Yet.

[Alik Kerensky]

recommend you play as much as you can stand of this t u r d and shelve it after your premium time runs out... maybe come back after a year if this farce is still here... maybe then this pinocchio will become a real game. i won't activate mine till it has more than just death match... which i don't see happening anytime soon unfortunately... they just seem to be interested in adding crappy overpriced bling and filler.

I am not touching my premium button till most of the bugs are sorted out, as a matter of fact I hardly play anymore but am waiting quietly in the back for the to work out the bugs, I have the time and will to give them as uch time as they need to make this the best game ever, I even buy my 3000 MC a month, but do not use it. Think before you act is a good idear sometimes.

[Scratx]

Sorry, OP, but it's too abusable... they'll never do it.

And for the record, this patch showcases exactly why I haven't activated my own founder premium and also why we were right to demand it (or some similar solution) of PGI.

[Ozric]

I used my premium button too, but I don't feel bad about it. I took a few weeks out of the beta and came back to open beta a fresh account. Premium time is very useful when leveling up your first few chassis. Also, what with the repair/rearm costs being so out of whack (maybe until phase 3 now), it wasn't just a time saving decision, I was literally going backwards without it.

For anyone saying something about abuseable.

How is it Abuseable when you lose a whole Day for pressing the Pause Button.
And when you play more then one Game in 23h it will start to count again ?

With this you can Stop when the Game is unplayable and test if this Issues are still on with the one Test Game.

And for the others: I started the Premium because i wanted to enjoy the Game and to pay the Servers and PGI for their efford.

And yes i knew that they are Testing etc, but i am also a flexible player which can play several Roles and
i like Mechwarrior Games.

BUT right now it is totally unplayable for me, thanks to the ECM.
Because ECM causes Lag spikes at my Location which makes the Weapon trigger totally unpredictable.
I don't know if the Weapons shots in 130ms, 260ms 390ms or 520ms as soon as i entered a ECM field.

I think now you can understand why i want a Pause Premium Button, i will test everyday if i can play MWO.

But i am paying out of good intentions in First place good Money.

I was about to bring my old Gaming Clan to MWO...

MORE DELICIOUS TEARS

You cast your vote by pressing the button in the first place. I've cast mine by not pressing the button (and a good thing too because I can't even play the game anymore due to constant CTDs).

[Nauht]

You knew ECM was coming. You knew this was a beta. The devs have stated again and again things were subject to change.

You knew all this and yet you still clicked activate.. and confirmed it.

You wanted your cake with earning premium bonus when it suited you and now that it doesn't you don't want the cake anymore.

Sorry you get no sympathy.
