Simple poll... the patch has dropped, the notes are here, the game is online and we've had a bit of time to play it... what do you think?

No more money for PGI. I now regret my MC purchases and my wallet is now officially closed to this piece of crap dev studio.

They don't listen to the community feedback and they don't fix problems.

**** this game!

[3rdworld]

voted disappointed because it contained no bug fixes or balancing, which is what this game needs desperately.

[Serapth]

Put me in the very disappointed category. Pretty much every item on the "mid January" list are MIA, matchmaker .. no changes, ECM... no changes, netcode delayed, two new modules countered by ECM and a new Mech sporting ECM that the developers claim probably wont work with the existing code.

Easily the biggest letdown I have had, other than the last patch which halved my frame rate of course... or the one before that added the ECM monster in the first place. Hmmm... guess they are 3 for 3 with bad patches to me.

After the devs stating that this would be a "big patch" I'm disappointed.

[Erik Jast]

Very disappointed. What this game needs is still not implemented yet and we get another light mech with ECM. What the ****.

[Gwaeth]

Underwhelming. But atleast gives good reason to take a pause from game.

[Lucky Noob]

How long are we now waiting for an "new" Map ? not an different Paint.

i am disapointed

You have to understand these devs.

They are bad at balancing. Thus we get ecm to "balance" missiles, and because they have no idea how actually make the spider viable, they put in a variant with ecm.

You know, even if they came out and said "sorry, matchmaker, ELO and ECM fixes werent ready in time but will drop shortly", that would go a long way toward placating the population.

But truth is, other than that it was "big", netcode fixes were schedule for mid January ( 15th is pretty damned mid ) and matchmaking was "really soon", we were completely left guessing what was upcoming in this patch. Better communication would have again settled the community down.

In this regard PGI are *REALLY* dropping the ball. There communication is terrible, and certainly getting worse.

Can the Devs now tell us what they meant by "Big" in that this would be a "Big" patch?
Did "Big" mean the size of the **ck we were ****ed in the a** with?

While I think a great deal of the feedback has been a bit extreme, I do think that PGI make some questionable decisions here. For the last two weeks we have been getting hype about how "Big" this patch would be. It has very little actual content that most players will see as a big ROI, (IE maps). They seemed to have picked the two biggest hot button issues (ECM, and netcoding issues with Lights) and just added fuel to the fire.

Due to their own statements on the netcode issues and the disclaimer in the patch notes about the spider speed issues, it seems like the worst possible choice of mech to release. Why did a mech that is only going to fuel the rage of the forums community at large preempt mechs that were supposed to come before it?

My only guess is that the final decision maker at PGI is woefully out of touch with the game and what players actually want to see done.That or he/she simply doesn't care.

Well think of it this way.

If you are trying to impress a girl you tell her you have a big ****, well trueth is its only 5" long and is at best an inch around. But to her that might seem very small because she is over 6ft tall and you arent getting the job done.

Big is a matter of perspective.

PGI thought this is BIG, so they made it out to be big. And like the above example when the pants got dropped there was a "wah wah" sound that went on.

Its an impartial poll, with completely balanced options, that gauges the overall community response. The mods/devs would be silly to shutdown a thread like this, as it is this kind of input that is supposed to come out of a beta test.

[ShadowThunder77]

still no direct changes to ECM huh??

[PANZERBUNNY]

Hey guys...they've been on vacation for a month. I think they deserve some slack here.

I'm sure they have barely re-grooved a bu tt imprint back into their chairs.

Forget about bursting into the new year to gain back the confidence of people.

/yawn.
