I imagine there a ton of core players that don't care about a stat reset. I suggest you not speak for a group of players when there have been core players in this very thread that stated they don't mind the stat reset.



But it is still hidden in the stats. Thus the stats don't give an accurate picture of anything, thus are worthless, thus it doesn't matter if they are reset.

Once again, my time is not worthless.


unique cammo specks\free colours\Cocpit items \free mech bays also are not worthless.

Which aren't being added anytime soon. So when they do the stat reset (which I assume will be around the time ELO is introduced), you'll have an unspecified time in which you can work on your stats.

So how does one get these camo/colours/cockpit items? Please provide links to Dev statements that show said connection.

Read my lips "No more resets!"

I'll make it easy for you.

The achievments are game play related.

You will not get an achievment for eating chips or forum posts.

You time was not worthless. You had fun, and got experience playing the game. Stats however are worthless as they aren't a good measurement of anything.

Unique camo, colors, cockpit items, free mechbays would be added to achievements which aren't going to be added any time soon. Nor is there a guarantee that you'd get them when they first come out if they didn't reset your stats.

Most people take no more resets as reseting of game content such as MC, mechs, cbills and premium time. Not stats.

[DrBri]

I can't understand why people are crying about a useless stat. If your new stats don't rise rapidly above your old stats, you're doing something wrong. I agree with others that we need more useful stats like team wins and mech specific stats to make the game better. I would like to see more people playing as a team instead of playing for stats. There are to many players that only care about themselves and screw their team over by doing so. I'm sure my stats could be much better if I didn't play as a team player, instead of abandoning my team when my help is needed by them, for an easy kill.

I paid full price and the game was launched some time ago.

Maybe you missed it.

Um, hate to bring you up to speed, but what you paid for was kickstart/pre-start support. Which brings me to this next point:

Game is currently in open beta stage, NOT full release stage.

Maybe you missed that

1) I dont care about the stats.

2) I care about the time it takes to achieve them.

3) Time I allready paid for and may not have in the future.

So you do care about stats. If you didn't care about them you'd have no issue with them resetting. You could always get your stats back after the reset. You had fun in your time so far right? You've learned skills and gotten better right? Then you have gotten everything you need from the time you paid for.

[Sean von Steinike]

Let Major Borris keep his worthless stats. Then make sure none of the old stats count for any sort of achievement when they get added to the game. He can then cherish his worthless stats while the rest of us get on with racking up ones that will hopefully count as the game will be in a better state.

Mechwarrior never needed a "kickstart"

MWO online has been released onto the market and is for sale.

The "Beta" nametag could be used for the lifetime of the product just so people like you can ape it over and over again.

[JSparrowist]

"stats" give rise to even more "elitism" than we see already. the fact is they don't accurately reflect a players usefulness to their team in most cases and distract elitists from playing the game as it's meant to be played.

player statistics should be in place for PGI to gather information on their product and how it's being played and not so some elitist `tard can swing their e-peen on forums.

Actually it did need some sort of kickstart. You do realize that no one but IGP was willing to fund the mechwarrior franchise. They shopped it around and no one wanted to touch it. IGP being a small publisher and PGI being a small dev studio, the Founders program was a kickstarter to allow them to continue making the game. You invested in a kickstarter for it essentially.

Just did a search to several retail stores inclunding (but not limited to) Newegg.com, Bustbuy.com, Target, Walmart, and several others.

NO, ZERO, ZILCH results on Mechwarrior Online being sold. Hell there's not even mention of a future date. The game has not been released for retail sale. The only place to get (note: Get, NOT buy) this game is directly to the source or mirror sites to it and STILL in OPEN BETA form.

You sir, have your facts really borked, or are an increadibly, terrible, liar

wtf is a e-peen?

This discussion is regarding how people might feel if they have to start all over again, stats, c-bills, mc I dont care.

No more resets please. Thats how I feel.

No this thread is about a stat reset and the large majority don't care about a stat reset. You seem to be the only one raising a fuss about it and trying to link it to resetting everything else.

LOL, you think we will ever see MWO at Bestbuy? Newegg... thats even more funny why would I go to Newegg to download MWO.

Crap, best buy barely sells pc games anymore.

Why would they EVER split the profits with a big box.

Maybe steam....maybe...

I highly doubt you'll see the majority of core players complaining about losing stats.
