Of course CW will tie it all together, but CW can't do it all. There needs to be content for CW to spin.


This. I think the negativity field surrounding these forums should be channeled into petty war and political intrigue...the way life is meant to be. Fighting over the same pieces of land (which all are mine now, btw) is getting to people. Time to throw us a story line bone.

Game forums are where the drama happens, and rarely where useful game-related discussion takes place. I'm just interested to see the game post-beta.

The game may not be doomed, but I am pretty sure the numbers are down, by a lot. I can tell you a lot of people in my unit are burnt out, and ECM is a large reason for it....

I would also say, without drop weight limits, that role warfare has taken a large step backwards... mediums and to a lesser extent, heavies are supposed to be what is seen on the field more often, not lights and assaults. A team of 8 should have 1-2 lights and maybe 1 assault max. I'd love to see a drop limit on an 8 man team around 500 tons, and if you didn't make it a hard limit, make it a soft limit so that if you drop too heavy, you get less mechs... so you could drop with 5 atlases, but you could be facing a team of 8 that is well balanced.

I don’t get it guys, if you don’t like the post move on! Without a bump it will drift off into obscurity. You do understand that whining about someone whining makes you a hypocrite! chez, I had to sift through 3 pages of garbage. But I do want to thank the guys who actually put in some good points, all 4 of you I think.

I don’t think I actually said the game is doomed, I put a list of thing I hate about the game and asked if there was anything planned to save it. Save it from a purely “my” perspective.

@Adridos, I hope your right collision might just turn the light tidy.

@Elkarlo, I’m a Mech-Lab addict, I have 14 Mechs and every module/upgrade there is. Everyone just jumped to the conclusion I’m doing poorly in game. I kill more than I die so I think I do OK. My issue is the game has become boring (for me, chez let me head you of there). To me there is no tactics or simulation anymore. Before you could play as a missile boat, or rig your mech as a slugger and shock mechs who had mixed role loadouts. These different styles allowed you to play the game different ways, but now everyone is packing the same stuff and working the same exploits.

A few guys listed all this cool stuff coming out, but when? And how long can someone get away with pulling the Beta card out overtime something goes pair shaped. I agree with AzOr, as soon as you ask for money a higher standard needs to be expected. No matter what you call it.

I just want to know theres hope :(

I made a few similar threads and I agree once you say can I have money your game is launched.

Netcode got a little beter last patch. I can do enough dammage with mediums and the LBX to scare off or rip on lights now :(
Plus stick to your team and coordinate fire, lights go pop pop.

You can call it open ALPHA for all the difference it makes. Once a game is accepting payments in the MMO world the game is considered launched.

So it was launched in closed beta? I fail to see your logic
