Q: Is your team discouraged at all by the community outrage?
A: It hurts, and you are always amazed at how nasty people can be. Some days you don’t want to deal with it. But you suck it up and try and understand why someone would call you an ***** or *******, or threaten you. I can’t tell you how many people complain, yet play dozens if not hundreds of matches a day, and spend significant amounts of money. I generally don’t take it to heart any more, especially when comments come from someone who has 100s or 1000s of posts. It’s the guy who has 1 post that I’m worried about. It took something significantly good or bad for them to come and make a post, and we tend to listen to them more carefully. And before you all go off about not listening to the core fans, we still listen to you as well.

This Q/A alone made me happy. Every other answer to previous questions is null, I could care less about them. Great job on the game to ALL who have worked on it and made MWO possible up to this day! Absolutely LOVE it! Keep it up!

You'd have a lot less QQ if you guys were more clearly communicating, particularly with each other.

Thank you, btw.

If you reset my exp you need to reset my premium time also then I will only grumble some about having to do it again rather then feeling like I was cheated out of my cash.

[Jungle Rhino]

Credit where credit is due that was an excellent Q&A

Only complaint from me is that ECM needs some MAJOR not minor tweaking

[OfTheDark]

THIS! So much this!

Really appreciate the real questions + real answers...even "We're working on it" is great to know that it's being addressed...


BTW...fire your proofreader...I know, I know...some people are never happy

I understand how people feel when the answer is 'Soon', be if he were to answer with Feb 15, and then Feb 15 came and went without said item happening, he'd get swamped with Hater-Aid. Even if he just said March, if April came without said promised item, the same Hater-Aid would be a coming.

Soon - Is not the answer is want, but when everything is still in development, sometimes it's the best answer we can expect.

Just look at today's Patch, all the rage over there being no Match Maker phase 3 or even the new End of Round Summary. While updating the Command Chair my have mitigated some of this, there are some who get angry at any delay.

The suggestions forums are there for this very reason; please, post there and I can forward your comments

I was an intensive user of the suggestion part of this forums (if not posting myself, at least liking/commenting/bumping the suggestions I deemed close to what I want). But the general feeling that it was a pointless waste of my time made me stop doing that.

I may be wrong in this, as the CR guys may be stalking around there and reading it. But the occasional post saying "this feature/content/suggestion has been passed up to the DEVs and is under consideration" or "what you suggested will not be implemented because..." would make everyone feel more prone to post/discuss suggestions.

Ok so great Q and A Bryan , Can I just take a moment as a software developer myself to say , please stop complaining about content like bobble heads and such seriously guys , the development team probably has very little to do with this is more the graphic art department !! The team cutting code is still buzzing away at the problems !! This content is trivial and nothing to do with improvements being worked on for the game play!! Please be patient its not a fully realized masterpiece yet !! I mean I personally am hanging for a Highlander and don't understand all the light mechs but its life get past it !!

PS Bryan could someone refine the hitbox on stalkers pls !!

[xX_Nero_Xx]

thank you for answer but i would have liked a more definitive time on the in game lobby though like in 3 months or so not later in year lol

[Slater01]

Thanks!

[Bad Electric]

thanks for all the info! also thanks for making the game, I know we complain alot, but like someone said in the initial post "we want this to succeed as much as you guys do".

there are some things we complain about amongst ourselves nightly (mainly the 8 v 8 format) but I have to admit, the game is gradually getting more stable and with posts like this (yours, not mine) it helps us to see where this is going.

keep up the good work! many thanks team!

"Faith in Devs restored".

[Mawai]

Thanks very much Bryan. That was an excellent Q&A response.

[miscreant]

He should tell the truth - NO NEW MAPS IN FEBRUARY.

When February comes and goes, and we don't have a new map - remember you heard it here first.

There is NO REASON AT ALL that the dev team couldn't prepare one map per month. It's complete ******** and I'm tired of waiting.

If it does come out in Feb, it'll the last week of the month, which sucks. We need new maps SO BAD and they delay them
so they can make start up animations!
