I feel like this game has stalled out a bit. Net-code lag funk, new maps just old maps with the lights out or the snow on/off.. or both omg! The new game type.. feels rushed and not at all worth while.... this isn't battlefield with robots (you could respawn in BF... made that game more fun). Lots of battles but nothing to fight for, nothing to say I have done well besides all the upgraded engines and a full mech bay (that I can not even move around to get all my lights on one side and fatlasas on the other).

Sure, sure, its all going to get here someday on patchmass, santacode and all that. Bah flippity humbug. So many things should have been at the core of this game that are missing. You would swear that it became a multiplayer game the day before it was put into beta with all the key multiplayer features its missing. Matchmaking??? this isn't E-Farmeny this is the Craigs ™ whatever. I think this would make one hell-o-single player game, the mechs are well done.. it looks good stuff blows up well. Its just not fun or rewarding after a while. Seriously I dont want to buy 3 stalkers, level them all up, just to get one that I will play and sell the rest so I don't have to fork out real cash for new mech bays.

Anyway, I'm not really quitting, but all of you that were going to post "can I has your stuff" can still kiss my leaking reactor core. I am posting that you are going to see far less of me for quite some time (giving so few of you a chance to kill me). It's just not that fun after a while... and the devs need to put some serious work into that or there will be nothing to come back too.

--------------------------------------------------------edit to add a point I would like to share--------------------------------------

MWO needs a reward system, in game ranking, somthing... anything more than Gxp. I have no reason to play atm, every mech is configured to the ounce for its roll, all the xp has been made and used, I am not going to grind a mech out that I will never play again, its no fun... I have a job it pays me cash... don't for a second think that I want to come home and pay to work a second job grinding a mech I dont even want to make a mech I do want better. There are plenty of other ways to have me earn that exp, use your heads and make it a role playing experiance not a toll paying one... please?

If nothing great happens when my freemum runs out I will take a break from the game...

I got 29 mechs and save for the phracts have all variants of all the chassis that I like to run

[Cerebelli]

They were on a very long break for the holidays.

But yeah, if I ever get burned out and decide to leave for while, I'm not leaving a post on the forums. That always seemed to me like people actually think that others care whether they're here or not.

[Tennex]

i was just thinking the same thing lol.

the grind is way too long, considering the small amount of content we have to entertain ouselves with before getting bored


something about content, content rate, grind time, retention rate and profit blah blah i'm not even trying anymore

You should do something about that leak...

[Bishop Steiner]

Can't blame you. I love Mechwarrior/Battletech to the point of addiction, but it is getting stale.... add the long down time for the holidays with the ECMWarrior * mans, and the conspiracy theory evil sync drops everywhere PUGs, the DHS and PPC silliness...

and yeah, I could see some burnout.

Take some time off, play something else, or whatever, and when the next patch hits on the 15th, drop in, if you feel like it, and see what's up, or whatever you need.

I figure it's a game.. if it's starting not to be fun, then it is time to step away.

[Valkyrie Brynhildr]

Yeah. I feel like I need a break from this game myself.

[Fabo1985]

i still had a break for about a month or so.
after i rejoined few days ago i noticed there is no real improvement since my break.

for me its crystalclear. i give it every month another try,maybe till march,maybe till fraction wars.
if this game is not going into some good direction ill quit it without any teardrop.
i really hope there will be some useful improvements.
but as i have read around forums i wont doubt the community is focusing at right things.
most of the people are saving their 4 maps and 2 gamemodes like the holy grail.if you say anything about improvements they feel slaped in their face...for some weird reason.

[xRaeder]

Told you.

I am not burned out more than I have nothing to work toward. I have all mechs I want at least at master, not mastered. With only the cat and stalker left. I dont like the stalker and am on my 3rd cat for basic.

Too cheap to take a break. I extended my premium time last month, and need to get my money's worth. I'll just grit my teeth harder and keep having fun.

[F lan Ker]

S!

A break from any game helps. I had a break from EVE Online and now getting back slowly. MWO can get repetitive very fast as there are no real goals except skilling out your Mechs. Well, for me that meant Hunchie, Catapult and Dragon of which I seem to exclusively use the Dragon. So no new Mechs either I really look forward to except Bushwacker, but that one is down the timeline still. So let's see what devs have for us this year

For me I have all at master but cats and stalkers! Once cats are done I hope the spider is available but lights are fast to rank up!

[F lan Ker]

S!

Lights are no fun to me, too twitchy and fast for old reflexes like mine Raven is one of my favorite Mechs though, but not really interested running an ECM boat with 2 med lasers and streaks. I think the Dragon is best for me, fast enough and is not that bad.

If you can afford it the flame is my only dragon now xl 360 going 107 with 2 ll and 2 med lasers. however, ballistics turn me off mainly to much tonnage.

all this is happening cause that's what people wanted, anything different from stick together focus fire blober brawls is shuned, ridiculed and hated with venom cause everyone hates those who don't pew pew. i've been roasted for actually doing something different i joined up with a team who wanted to cap in assault! dun dun dun! and i've recieved nothing but **** for doing something slightly different than the norm something to relieve the manotony that is a valid tactic when it was handed on a plate by an enemy team who got lost. getting resources and you're about to win and outnumbered? don't be different or smart do yet more dakka dakka! like what the man in the quote would say is the only way to play. that's why this game is stale and dying, it never evolves and people don't want it to. conquest has failed cause it's more rewarding to play it like assault and assault shouldn't have caps at all TDM or nothing. MWO itself is burnt out, what little novelty the gameplay had at the start of open beta has well gone and in 2 months nothing has replaced it except a piece of equipment that encourages more blobing brawling. enjoy the MW your "caps is no fun" has created.

S!

I run the Fang and 5N Ballistics are not that bad, but really baffles me we have an ECM system capable of doing whatever, but the targeting system is like from 1950's Or the arms do not even remotely discuss with the fire control computer or seeing Hunchies AC20 shots go up and away in a 45deg angle Oddities on ballistics none of the lasers have.

RavenAssault3MapsWarrior Online is getting pretty boring. Limited maps and gameplay is given an easy path by getting a ECM Raven with an ECM Raven mate due to the ECM, Lagshield and hitbox trifecta (might be different if you have sub-100 ping maybe you can hit the little ***** then).

There just isn't anything happening, its just pug stomping on limited maps. No story, nothing engaging, no sense of participating in the struggle of mankind just a longer game of COD4.
