What is so asinine about my rational? They don't even attempt to balance crap but they will for sure take our money. Anytime someone has a problem they go well it is just a beta and scuff it off. Well I wouldn't have clicked my founders time if I knew they were going to add ECM and ignore how much it broke the game. Missiles were the only "sure fire" way to kill net code shielded lights. Sure I can lag shoot and waste half my ammo in a game that gives very little ammo makes sense.

no one forced you to click "activate" or add premium time or to buy anything with MC
it's great that PGI gave us this functionality, and we were fully aware that there were "no backsies"

you only had to read the devblogs to see that lots of content was to be added / is still to be added

they can't do an MC only reset because lots of that MC you spent has gone towards getting you things that have been used to get cbill and XP bonuses or you might have many totally modded up mechs that you bought with MC sitting there - do you want these deleted as well so that you lose all the cbills you spent on modding them gone too?...

so they would have to do a full reset to stand any chance of not just giving you a massive unfair bonus compared to people who have, say, been a bit more sensible and not just spunked all their MC on stuff and then regretted it later

I honestly didn't think I was spunking MC unsensibly when I bought catapults in order to master/elite my founders cat. Since then they've been rendered pointless (or at best, weak) by;

removal of knockdowns
ECM
LRM nerf
glitched light mechs
ECM
big badly hitboxed oil rigs appearing in bases

We all quit all 4 of us, wont play till ECM is fixed we were already dealing with net-code, but ECM put our level of crap that you have to just accept over the edge.

Instead of crying, change your tactics. The Beta label that you're howling about means you KNEW the game was still in flux when you WILLINGLY hit the activate button by yourself.

We usuallly run a 3 man, 2 ECM Commando's/Raven's and a single streak cat. This 90% of the time results in light mech confetti all over the battlefield. We have no issue's playing the game, or winning. Eventually ECM will be changed and we'll have to change tactics again. Get used to it. "It's a beta", as you've been howling about, so that was to be expected by any sane person.

If you reset premium time, you have to reset the XP and Cbills you earnt with it too.

If they allowed a premium time reset without taking away my cbills and XP, I would use mine, then reset it, use it, then reset and so on.

thats would assume the game was truly in beta and not "soft launch". If it was in a soft launch you wouldnt expect a reset, which is why I dont expect either

Your sig. Its missing a towel.

Read my original post and see how you get the idea of unlimited resets. I swear if I had a dollar for each person that can't read me and Bill Gates would hang out.

Well you have still earnd C-Bills and XP with your Premium so they would have to reset that to.
I don't want a reset because i dont want to redo everything again and I'm guessing thats what most people think.

that's what you said yes, I was replying to you (in regards premium time - you clicked activate so that's on you) and OTHER PEOPLE who have mentioned they would like to see an MC reset
you used your premium time, so have I, I have no regrets and a stable full of mechs

well... whilst I can see your point of view, I don't feel the same way, about LRM boats in general, or catapults specifically
I still often get top 3 leader board position in LRM boats or catapults... and dual UAC5 / dual AC20 or 6 SRM6 is not affected by ECM in the slightest, and I have little to no problems self designating with a TAG

adapt and overcome

and if they did give you an MC reset, do they get those MC back when they nerf ECM and/or fix netcode etc.? and they do get to wipe all the XP and cbills you earned with those MC bought mechs, right?

Do they teach people how to read in school anymore? Where out of STATS and PREMIUM TIME do you get XP, C-BILLS, and MC? Where is Ashton Kutcher? Am I being punk'ed or do this many ******* exist?

I am happy with how things are, as for STATS and PREMIUM TIME. I don't give flying c**p about my STATS and I pushed the button on PREMIUM TIME so when it runs out I'll just pay for more.... It's as easy as that.... and if I don't have the money, I'll just play with out premium...

@Apoc1138 learn to quote people then. You quoted just me and rambled off about MC. So, you're still wrong and can't read.
@Battle Hawk glad you're happy I'm not and some other people aren't happy either. Thanks for your two cents and confirming you are indeed a "gifted" person. Thanks for wasting my time leave my thread now.

Fix'ed.

[Hammerfall777]

I wouldn't have spent my founders MC (and more besides) if there was going to be a reset. I wouldn't be playing if there was going to be a reset! I got sick of the resets and waited for open beta to start playing in earnest.
My Early Mech designs sucked, but since then I played around and got over 1700XP (not double XP weekend) and six kills in a match, in a non ECM mech with an even mix of streaks and Medium Pulse lasers...It takes time to learn how to deal with different situations... Sometimes I play Mechs that suck just to see what could be done to fine tune/redeem them. If I want to elite a chassis, I'll fit out all 3 Mechs differently for variety. I generally play as a lone wolf and still have lots of fun. If you're a Battletech diehard, you can really enjoy this game inspite of its faults, and if not COD Black Ops II/III/IV/V/VI/VII/VIII/IX/X etc. awaits.

I'm just thankfull some modern MechWarrior game exists at all...

Forever beta

Also you still ignore the actual relevant part about resetting mech XP and cbills as the inevitable consequence.

If you want your whole account reset, Have you tried asking?

This is considered a beta and should be treated as such. So when you (PGI) claim this game is no longer BETA. You should reset and refund premium time wasted when the game unplayable by most.

Imperius, on 20 January 2013 - 10:49 PM, said:

So, nothing, they can't claim that the game is playable. I'd be fine if it went off how much time I actually played, but it counts down regardless of if I play or not and this game with its bugs and real bad balance is not playable.

"Gimmegimmegimmegimmegimmegimme" is what I read.

So basically what you expect is for PGI to return all of the premium time and bonuses that you've activated, after they've already given you about 2 free weeks of premium time, then the choice to activate it or not once Open Beta was launched, AFTER they specifically said that there would be no more resets but you would have the option to activate your premium time any time you wanted?



























No.

They gave you a choice to activate your premium time. You made a bad decision, deal with it.
