Do I like the game? Yes.


Am I tired of the snail like pace of improvements? Yes


I have been taking a break from MWO for a little over two weeks now. Not cold turkey mind you, I still log-in once or twice a week and play a few rounds. Having made the break I see almost no reason to come to back. I think its more out of habit that I check in than a real desire. Things need to change.


On that note, I am going to make a crazy declarative statement.

PGI, I am giving you till April 15th to meet my listed minimum improvements required to keep me as a dedicated player.

1) Net code must be fixed! Not made slightly better, FIXED!

2) Number of maps minimum must be ten. (Variations do NOT COUNT!) That means we need a minimum of six more.

3) Two more modes of play (CTF, TDM, anything)

4) Twelve man teams!

5) Community warfare must be enabled.


Get to work!

I love how you are giving the Developers a deadline. I'm sure they don't have any to meet and now that you have made this constructive post, everything will be ready when YOU want it to be. They should have asked your opinion earlier!

[Congzilla]

Until what? Until you cry and complain more?

[Ophidian]

Haha....well, *I'm* still having fun and I'm not going anywhere fast. Improvements would be nice, but I can have a little patience.

[Vilheim]

Oh, that'll get 'em working real hard! Great idea! They should totally make their development plans off a single user's input!

Also, it's okay to take a break for a while. I took a break a couple months back between studies and frustration with the game and when I came back a month later I noticed beautiful improvements. Guess it depends on your perspective.

[Flagrant]

I'm guessing you never had a girlfriend. Or if you did it never lasted longer than 3 months.

[El Penguin]

Lol, I can tell you right now that they won't reach your goals in that time frame. So I guess you won't be a dedicated player then? No way they will make 6 maps in 3 months

[Dagger6T6]

This is why I don't visit the forums... more entitled bs.

PGI, I'm not a hard ***... I'll give you until April 20 to get it done

[Roughneck45]

Can I have your stuff on the 16th?

Is that really your best troll? Do no enter that sauce at the county fair, because it is weak.

Let's go ahead and build on the demands the OP has made since this is a great place for demands. However my deadline is far stricter.

These demands must be met within the next 24 hours or PGI risks losing me as a customer.

1 - Permanently ban Vernius lX. It's him or me, pick your favorite customer now.

2 - get me some hot chocolate and ice cream

3 - Paying Garth more money

4 - Paying me some money

5 - Fix the economy (actual economy, not in game).

Wont happen...

See ya later!

Improvements tend to come in bursts. We haven't seen a whole lot of it in the past two months or so, part of that I blame on Christmas, and the rest on the complex nature of the issues.

Hopefully the desert map is good, and as big as they've been claiming it to be. We need bigger maps, although I understand that surely will slow down the speed at which they create those maps.

This whole thread made me laugh and login to post before it gets closed.

MVP = Marginally Viable Product

Learn it.

PGI is going to do as little as possible to retain the revenue stream as it stands now. You are going to see more Christmas lights and Hero meks before you see Community Warfare, get use to it.

Secondly, PGI is having a hell of a time finding a Sr. Net Developer be it either from scope of the project or compensation to market wages, but the result is PGI can't find someone that they want to hire and is willing to accept the offer package.

Finally, PGI is a SMALL development house, one might as call them an "Idie Developer" based on headcount and capacity. With that said, while you might not like it, there are only so many "hours of effort" PGI can bring to bare on any development issue and that drives schedules to the right, get use to it and reset your expectations on reality rather then what you the consumer demand.

[Vernius Ix]

Hmmm maybe some of you are right. Maybe I should re-think my list.


Ok

Three new maps instead of six.

[Armorpiercer M82]

he will return after a time anyway....

[Pando]

Incoming meme's.

[RetroActive]

Wow. This is probably the most humorous thing I've read on these forums. The sense of entitlement in the OPs post is pure comedy. Do you really think the devs have any obligation to you?

I've never seen anyone give an ultimatum to the developers of a game. I think I'm actually pulling for them to NOT meet your demands as one less whiny person on the forums is probably a good thing!

Anyways, thanks for the laugh!

[Carnivoris]

Ultimatums don't work. First of all, we've seen some progress the last 2 months. I know MY game is a HELL of a lot more stable than it used to be. You need to learn your place. Your place is NOT to demand ANYTHING from the devs, especially in such a rude manner. Your job is to test the game and report issues. These forums are full of people who can't understand that they haven't bought a game. You're participating in a beta test. You're part of the development process at this point. The devs don't owe us anything but the best product they can deliver, no matter the timeline. If you can't get that through your thick skull, put the game down and come back when it's released.

I do, however, second Minsc's demand for hot chocolate and ice cream.
