Not bothering to vote for a dipshit poll that is QQ and chock empty of valuable content.

Russ already said in one of the NGNG podcasts that they had invested around 10 million Dollars in this game, so 5 million isn't that much, is it? Let's compare it to another game that's competing on the F2P market and got into open beta some weeks ago: Hawken. They had a funding of 24.5 million dollars, and now go have a look at where they are now!
Enough with these unfounded biased BS QQ polls... get your f*cking facts straight!

Yeah, well Hawken plays a lot better too, it's just not my type of mech game. So, regardless if you don't think it's enough money my point still holds true. ONCE YOU CHARGE MONEY FOR PARTS OF YOUR GAME IT'S NO LONGER CONSIDERED A BETA!!!

OMG, I didn't realize they forced you to buy anything. How evil that they make you spend money againstg your will. It must be a commie plot.

[siLve00]

where is option C like : Yes they should replace BETA with ALPHA ?

[Jetfire]

Biased Poll much? Seriously do you think the MC fluff is taking time away from the netcode? That's like getting mad at the janitor of the pizza place for how long it took the delivery driver to drop off your pizza.

Please, go and try out The War Z before you complain about how "horrible" we have it here. This game is more beta than that game will ever be. If you want your opinion heard, then don't buy or spend MC. I have yet to buy more MC, or spend it on any of the items. The items are to expensive, and the paint job thing is just not right. Even so, as others have said, the company does need to make money. The programmers have to pay rent, and eat. That said, I don't like paying to over priced stuff. So I choose not to buy things so that hopefully they will get the hint and lower the prices, and make paint jobs not be a useless drain on actual money.

Edit: Minor Fixes

The crazy MC prices are pretty much the only problem I have with this game, actually. I think its totally fine otherwise!

That's a little harsh, this is beyond an Alpha, it is some kinda Quasi-WIP-Beta Seedling. If it were a real option I would have it back in closed beta, but I think it is clear that they either had to establish a revenue stream or close up shop. The current game state is good enough for a few more months, hopefully enough time to get all their new hires they likely got up to speed and seriously churning out content.

PGI starts implementing game features, the features are not the ones you want to see and you're not patient... you make a biased poll.

That pretty much sums up the paragraph that was.

I think this pole is invalid and clearly shows an agenda.

I would change the title to...I have an axe to grind and need validation please pay attention to me.

Yes, yes. Horrible, biased poll of biased-ness! Thanks. Now what's your opinion on the issue?

Not biased at all. They make sure to put in/remove MC cockpit junk before they patch, fix bugs, or balance the game. It's just the truth you don't want to see. Even the Maps we have right now have crappy clip boxes. I don't know how many times I have seen my shot hit an invisible wall next rock I was using as cover.


How so prove me wrong,,, I dare you!


So the forums can be as empty as their 8 man matchmaking? You sound real smart. /sarcasm

Seriously, the people who make the decorative cockpit items, the artists, are NOT the people who can fix the problems you state. What SHOULD those artists be doing? Sitting on their thumbs? Drawing cute little doodles? They are doing their job. So, yeah, your poll is ridiculously biased and ignorant.

It's not an issue. See my post above.

As to adding MC items while the game is in beta (leaving aside how these items in no way affect the rate bugs get fixed) is necessary. They need to fund ongoing development of the game. With no MC items, IGP gets no money. If IGP gets no money, PGI gets no money. If PGI gets no money, devs are out of a job. If devs are out of a job, nothing gets fixed. Give your head a shake, and think about this a bit before ranting.

Not to mention, of course, server maintenance costs, etc.

Edit: Finally, they are not charging people for Beta. This game is F2P, and it actually is F2P. Spending money doesn't help you out in battle. You can play beta for free all you like.

The artists who make the maps and mechs could be fixing their current 4 maps with bugs everywhere in them. Every invisible wall you shoot when playing a rock or corner is their fault.

Mechs > maps > fluff not fluff > mechs > maps

Also the artists could be working on animations for building destruction. Seriously I don't fell like I'm shooting an AC20 I feel like I'm shooting a .45 out of my mech.

So there is plenty of things that could be addressed instead of fluff. Sorry I higher standards, I realize they need money I didn't give the 120$ to waste man hours on damn fluff!

[PurpleNinja]

This is BETA.

Or maybe not.

Despite your extremely biased poll, seems people dont mind the way pgi is running things. Of course im sure youll claim wr are all white knights and fanbois. Thats what trolls do!

Nah, I'm a fanboy, but I just have a different perspective and I'm a lot less lax. When they claim they will bring us a AAA title and it doesn't even have the basics of most games I beta test I get concerned. When I see wasted resources that could have been utilized better to improve the initial impression of the game for new comers I get mad. I don't care how many dont side with me my point was out out and hopefully a dev read it. Your opinion means jack to me cause number one I don't just give respect you earn it. Second I don't know you your just another voice of the Internet as I am to you. I'm not here for a popularity contest. Or hope you'll like my status on Facebook. I'm here because I gave 120$ to see this game come to life, ill give more money to it when there is a reason too ( when I start having fun). I'm sorry but 4 ECM ravens, with lag shields, and run around collision free taking no skill to run a lag circle around me or my teamtes and down an assault. You guys cry not cannon all the time I don't remember reading in the book laggy raven takes out an atlas by running though walls.

Pretty sure they took War Z off steam or did something because they had a false description about the game in steam. I hate zombie games anyway so no thanks. The zombie fad needs to die!
