Oh look ma..a troll!

HERP DERP... Gee you caught me. Considering the game has changed very little in the way of mechanics it only takes 1 or 2 matches to get caught up on anything that's new. Hope you don't choke on the Kool-Aid™

LOL! typical troll response. "you dont agree with my entitled ranting? you must be a fanboy!"

[Oderint dum Metuant]

I don't really like kool-aid. real-aid takes so much better.

Because I have fun posting on the forums? Just because I don't play the game doesn't mean I can't post of the forums.

I find FWO extremely fun. By making the game suck, PGI has made the forums infinitely more exciting.

Hmmm... While I disagree with your disdain for MW:O I cannot find fault in your appreciation of fine forum trolling.

"Troll on good sir... troll on".

I dont know where you've worked in your life, but my job gives us Christmas, boxing day, and new years day off. that's it. I can't imagine most office getting 2 weeks Christmas break.

I am from germany. 2 weeks christmas and new year holiday are not rare over here.

Especially if have a look at the calendar. This year it was possible to have 14 days off with just 5 days of holiday taken ( at least in germany ).

If you want to know it, i have 21 days a year. That`s not much for germany, it is just one day over the law ( german law says every employee has to have at least 20 days of holiday per year ).

Where do you live and how much holiday is normal for you?

Yep pretty much how i worked my holiday here in the UK.
I spent 6 day's leave, got 16 days off.

In Canada, a business only (by law) has to give you the 25th, 26th, and the 1st off.

Yea so you book leave on the 27/28, weekend off anyway book leave on the 31st etc etc etc

Voted Very disappointed because this dev team refuses to acknowledge the problem that ECM is. Cool, they stick their fingers in their ears and close their eyes, saying "I don't see a problem". Bully for them. Too late to get my money back, and I have grown tired of the ECM easter egg hunt, so I'm out again. I'll check back in a week to see what they ignored in the next patch.

voted "meh" but:

as the spider is a new toy, it will be the flavor of the month now....
so we will see a lot more light mechs the next days while gaming

and as long as you dont hit anything where your reticule is pointing....this is horrible and very frustrating

time for a break now :|


better make a full development stop on every content and just concentrate on getting used to the netcode of the cryengine 3...

or simply roll back netcode to closed beta state, as collisions were on... warping mechs while standing up was just no problem compared to now!

We have the 24th too, that`s it. The 24th counts as a half day in my company, 31th too. Our Boss was nice this year because we performed very well, so we got the 24th and 31th as present. One day saved ... i would have prefered a money bonus, but i take what i get.

On the other hand, if you don`t work in some kind of emergency service or a shop, germany is dead over christmas and new year. No need to sit at the office, you cant do anything productive because any other company is closed too.

I even like to work on christmas and never take one of my precious days, last year we where drinking champagne and played video games and got payed for that.

PS: I am working in business support. No need for support if none of your business partners is working.

yes you can book vacation time. But i doubt PGI had closed down completely for 2 weeks. If everyone at my office wanted to book christmas break off, I'm sure the boss would say no.

[Jetfire]

I seem to be getting more solid frame rates and less rubberbanding that I was a few days ago, seems like a pretty solid update, if not the huge one I had hoped for.

[Prat]

I'm disappointed because they hyped this patch so much.

If they had said: "We're bringing out the Spider and a few bug fixes." then I would not feel let down as much.

You can talk "Vacation" all you want, but 4 weeks without a patch in this environment is silly. Especially with so many glaring issues.

Sigh... I don't even want to comment anymore. The game's really gone from exciting to "Meh" and I really really don't want that.

Ah well, moving on.

*wakes up from a dream state world where we could create our own servers and have things like ECM turned off and custom fan made maps........*

-Looks at patch notes-

-Plays 5 hours-

-Actually has fun...-

-Finds myself incredibly confused as to why-

[Koningswulf]

A useless mech the Spider when there are tens of intersting ones to bring into the game.
No Bugs fixed.
No heat problem fixed
No Lag shield and net code fixed
no Bigger maps
No collision
No lobby
No communication
no respawn
No fraction and planet action with a long term goal for players
the list can go on for ages, I am very disapointed on the current state of the Devs work!
That said I got some MC I figured maybe they need some cash to pay a decent developer.

Read patch notes. Frowned at the complete absense of gameplay fixes and ballancing.
Wondered where is the 'Big' part in it. Ok at least we got 1 mech.
Logged in, bought Spider (12 JJ variant). Maxed it out.

Played 2 matches.Found out that it is quite slow, toothless, and actully jumps not too great. Useless.
Sell Spider.
Log off.

[Irreverence]

I'll continue to watch the forums for updates. But taking a break until CW...

[Vitus1978]

I want this game to succeed as much as anyone else it I feel that PGI needs to get their priorities straight. Matchmaking (PUG vs Premade needs to be fixed, ECM and Netcode need to put on the front burners ASAP. Take the guys workin on new maps and mechs from what they are doing and make them help out with the big three. Once those 3 are dealt with, and the majority of people are happy again, then go back to making new mechs and maps.....
