Please for the love of god do not respond to this if your not a dev. I have been a BT/MW/MPBT/MC/MA/MWO fan/player/customer for 20 of the 28 years I have been alive. I don't want speculation from other players. I have read every possible piece of information on this site relevant to this question. We were all sold on community warfare as a pillar of this game. I dont want to get into a flame war and get banned.

So here it is:

Bryan, Garth, Paul or anyone else on the team:

When can we expect any type of community warfare integration or at least when can we expect an announcement or perhaps a way to get some competitive play in a non-random fashion going.

PLEASE, Enough is enough. It has been 6 months and still we have nothing. We are all putting in money, there is no excuse anymore as to why the production of this game is going so slow. I understand you want to "get it right" but it should not take so long to get content and features into the game. Are you guys at least testing CW in-house at this point? I think this is a legitimate question to ask at this point.
Seriously, you have time to make stupid X-Mas cockpit items but we are getting 1 mech a month and 1 map about every 2 months and still no lobby, built in communication or non random battles. This is very frustrating. If you wont do it, give us a lobby and the ability to fight who we want in 8v8 at the very least and we will make our own planetary leagues.
We are all bored!!!!!!!!!!


Thanks,

Andrew

They have been locking threads like this and you will not get an answer. Trust me I started two threads about it. We want info but they are not giving any out.

Also just a word of advice: Don't post in a general discussion forum if you only want devs to answer. You would be better off PM'ing them.

Yeah we had one going with minimal flame or trolling going on, they locked it.

Try reading the command chair forums, or look through ASK THE DEVS questions and answers.

[Andrew Osis]

None of you can read apparently. I have read every forum and I check daily. The ask the devs says "dont ask" which (wow cant say the word for wizz) me off. Next ill call PGI and complain. I wish Americans got the game because apparently Canadian work ethic is lacking to say the least. Too much cold weather and good crippy.

I doubt you have the right to cast doubts on thier work ethic. They have said numerous times they are pulling some long nights trying to get issues resolved, it takes time.
I would like some more info on cw as well having said that, but i got time.

[Brilig]

So far the semi? official word from mods has been that CW is still a ways out. From what I gather we will see a couple of more game modes, some new user tweaks, and then matchmaking phase 3 before we get to see CW. Looking at the roadmap it seems like we are going to be testing and tweaking a lot of the smaller elements of the game before they add CW to bind it all together.

I hope we get some new info on the 18th. According to posts in command chair there will be some more info on a few things with that patch.


Edit: Added more.

WTF is taking so long? I Have seen user mods move faster and a commercial product should be moving MUCH MUCH faster. They have time for BS xmas cockpit items but it takes them a month to release a mech? I call shenanigans on this dev team. They are not working quickly enough and they aren't doing a quality job for that matter either. I already got 160 down the tubes on this, I paid that for steel battalion back in the day which had WAY awesome community warfare and a bad-*** controller and better game play.

Not to mention this is, essentially, a mod. They didnt write their own engine or anything like that. MWLL moved much quicker. I would rather those clowns that did mw4 take another crack at it at this point and I hated paingod and his team.

LOL...arrogant little person arent you. "I spent money and i am entitled" "only devs respond cuz i am better then the rest of your customer base". What happened to playing a game and if you werent happy.....leave. They are taking time to read your dribble and not fixing something for that 19s.....and you tell them everything they do isnt hard at all??!! A lot of people bring constructive comments to the table...which makes the game move forward. You tell them they suck but demand answers.....hope someone puts u in a round room and you try and find the corner.

[Andrew Osis]

Im arrogant? Maybe I dont like being mislead for 3x what a typical game costs. Please dont try the internet tough guy crap either man if someone puts me in any situation im gunna fight my damn heart out and win or lose they wont forget it for a few weeks. Thats what being a man is about. This isnt what I wanted, im not better than anyone in the community but I have been around long enough to speculate on my own. I get opinions and comments from the people I play with daily. I want a response from the devs not people who dont know jack about whats going on behind closed doors. The whole point of having a forum is for user feedback. Dont troll and turn this into a flame war douche.

cant wait for this one to get locked...



also, youre the one who chose to speng 160 on a game that they stated was in development
sorry if its not going fast enough for you but they didnt sell anything under false pretenses

[Andrew Osis]

What I am saying is they arent moving quickly enough to retain most the player base and those of us that would keep the game alive through competitive leagues that we would spend our own time creating and administering are bored as hell, we have heeps of cbills, MC, XP and GXP and we want to play competitively. If your not gunna do the CW as planned give us lobbies and let us do it ourselves as we have in MW2-MW3-MC-MC2-MW4-MA-MA2 etc.....

So I guess that whole 4 pillars thing was just fluff. I never said I didnt like the game I just said we are bored with 4 maps and 1 gamemode with no lobby or way to coordinate competitive play.

This is exactly what I didnt want. You guys are the ones who are arrogant bc you think im some asshat who doesent know what he is talking about. I know a great deal about this game(series) and its fanbase and what has and hasn't worked. I know what to expect based on the progression of the development of other games and I even know how many employees and about how much revenue PGI has made from this title so far, based on all of this I have to ask what the heck is going on up there.

and one more thing..............conquest mode does not equal community warfare.........

[Reaps Sorrow]

internet tuff guy....flame war....douche? That is what a man is about....my bad. Missed the point tho, you bring nothing to the table. You tell them another team should take over and demand answers from the team you want to oust? I may not post very often but have spent decades playing this game, to try and get a response from somebody (dev team) by insulting them usually goes no where. You seem halfway intelligent, maybe a different tact would prove usefull. Like not paying anymore cash for this game and providing constructive feedback...until fixes/advancement in game has been made? I'm sure you got a black belt in internet tuffness so I wont mess with you no more, hate to have to reformat the 'ol harddrive.

[yashmack]

QQ more for me, this thread will be locked soon
I understand what youre saying but to me youre just being impatient
sorry you spent so m uch cash on this game, but that was your decision
I dont agree with your dire predictions and I enjoy playing this game
Ive enjoyed battletech since the 90s when I was a teen and it was first released
Ive enjoyed virtual world, I enjoyed MW 3 and 4 (hated 2) and I am so happy theyre working on MWO now
the game first went closed beta for founder in August... are you really expecting a fully completed and fleshed out MWO by now?? thats a bit ridiculous...

one more thing..... i dont think anyone even remotely considers conquest mode to be community warfare...

L2Read forums. Following the current timetable don't expect CW before Feb next year. You won't get any information before Jan.

hahaha, you people are so optimisitic.

Guys, you are not going to see CW for a long long time.

if you are incredibly lucky maybe Dec next year.

More likely it will be 2014, assuming the game hasn't been folded at that point.

think of it like this guys they drop a single mech a month,

They will have to drop 8+ mechs next year for the clan invasion. They still have a bunch of IS mechs they haven't dropped into the game.

There is no way they will have a good bunch of the mechs needed for the clan invasion in by the end of next year with their current content drip feed.

[yashmack]

and you guys are way to pessimistic
I have no idea when CW will be introduced, and from the impression I get from the interviews I have heard CW is a ways off, probably not by Feb 2014 but I imagine we could see bits and pieces of it introduced here in about 6 months

Im not overly optimistic im just not as pessimistic as everyone QQing about CW seems to be...
