netcode, landslide victory.

lag shield and crashing every 3 games is got to be the worst thing for current and future players.

NetCode, NetCode, NetCode. With NetCode fixored many of the other things on your list would fall into place. To find the netcode thid poor at this stage of the game is a true smack in the face and a major dissapointment that has driven many of my friends off.

Fix netcode or I will QQQ more.

Remove the bugs, the game is well balanced for the experienced pilots. Reading posts about ECM and third-person view make me cringe. To think people want the easy way out ... let's just say there is a TON of prey in this game and very few predators.

very good list of all the issues.

i really hope the Devs take a look and maybe triage based on this poll



or they'll just lock it and sweep it under.

Most of the things you listed are related to balance and stuff, that will happen inevitably or the game will die. I'm an optimist so that effectively wiped at least half of the things in your poll off the board. Yes, Netcode is a problem. It will be fixed or the game will die. Simple. Yes, MM needs to be fixed, but I can still find great matches a lot of the time. The community will suffer without tweaks, but itself alone is not a 'draw' it's not a carrot stick, it doesn't motivate me or incentivize me to play more. It simply makes the experiences smoother and balanced which funnels into replayability.

Replayability is the crux of this....

See...

4k matches into this game, all desired and current grinds complete, baby meta tactics up to date, no problems with balance or cheesers at the moment, where is my replayability. It's not down to netcoding so I can 2 shot Lag Shielders. It's not down to MM or I quit pugging.

It's down to actual, you know, consequences of what I do in the game. Over the long haul.

...for me, the future of me playing this game in a serious capacity is predicated upon the development of CW and a sense of persistance in the universe. Everything else is secondary. I need fluff, I need a sense of permanence and interaction between myself and this universe we play in. Otherwise we're just American Gladiators in robots, which is shallow after the grind.

Put the game back in closed beta until everything is ready instead of milking people like some prize 4H cow.

I agree

Net code, because it's required to fix some many other issues.

I should note, while I chose net code, IMHO what this game really desperately needs is to get community Warfare in. To have a reason WHY we are fighting these battles. To provide motivation beyond mastering another chassis.

Short term, net code is what causes most of the issues in the polls, but CW will be what takes MWO from being a fun shooter to being a really awesome game.

I chose Collisions, because it would automatically mean they would have improve the netcode. ;)
