You have a mammoth amount of faith in believing they will get finished eventually.

I mean, I'm sure there are glaring bugs from WOW's CB that are still kicking around.

Some games never fix bugs that were discovered in its distant past and development.

They will at some point fix everything they can. Though yes, Some bugs are so elusive that they can evade detection for years. I know one game had a odd bug for about 2 years before the dev team basically said they gave up on trying to find it... month later they stumbled upon it while fixing another bug.

Commando will be the cheapest Hero mech ever, hence why it is in included. Gotta hit 'em at all price points.

I find it hilarious if we get the Hero Commando with ECM.

"Ya, we don't have anything remotely good for the game finished, instead, ANOTHER LIGHT WITH ECM!!!"

HAha! It's borderline hilarious if it wasn't so tragic.

Fortunately for us this game hasn't existed long enough to have a distant past.

This!

Any disappointments I have with PGI-MWO is rapidly being displaced by disgust for the droves of dissidents.

Patch day means progress. And the only thing that burned down last patch was the forums. So, I am looking forward to more success with a nice stable patch with incremental improvements to existing problems and advancements toward the final product - be it a Commando or change to the splash screen.

Not for me it doesnt.

Remember two patch notes ago they said "Improve graphics for most people, may cause problems for some"...

I'm some. I went from running the game at maximum resolution, to running a number of resolutions lower AND at minimum settings to maintain 25+FPS.

Then last patch dropped and my performance got even worse. Now I have to go into the nVidia control panel and override game settings from quality to performance AND run at a lower resolution AND at minimum settings to keep the game playable. On top of that, my audio hisses, cracks and pauses completely on occasion.

Of course, the patch before these two killed my performance and bugged my audio, they added ECM....



So yeah, I've come to dread patch day. If there is another performance hit, I pretty much have to quit the game... I've got no other options at this point.

So instead of fixing the lag sheild, they bring out anouther light lag exploit mech,
Right im starting to understand were this game is going now

I am so ******* tired of u negative nej sayers go **** ur selves, this OP is happy there will be a patch today and all u can do is post bad **** to take him down, u read the post u understood what he was feeling, and all u can do is post your negative ****, u are the kind if negative ppl i stay away from in irl.

I have seen 2 names (u know who u are) as i can remember popping their dumb *** comments in more than a few positive different posts on the forum for the last 4 month just to........ well i dont know just be negative i guess? In a post like this if u cant say anything positive dont say anything at all.

[HighlandCoo]

Meh - im not to fussed what others think of the game. I'm having a blast - can't wait for the new stuff. (Even if it is practically nothing). I only play for a little bit here are there - its a fun game.

I'm not storming off in a rage when I die. I just select another mech and run again.

Am I doing it wrong?

Patchmas? You are gonna be so disappointed. There's hardly gonna be any updates today. But if you like analrape then there is the hero commando without ecm coming today. You won't get any balance updates. If you read the Q&A30, it takes them 4 weeks to get even a single digit change patched into the game. They change for example heat from 9 to 8, then go into minimum 4 week "testing" phase. PGI is so **** at making games...

It's called quality assurance. When you make a one digit change in software, there's potential for it to damage OTHER AREAS that you may not have even thought of as a developer. That's why a QA process is used for every change. 4 weeks is nothing. You should be ecstatic that they can push a change as fast as they do.

FYI - Blizzard is notorious for bringing a patch to QA, kicking it back to development four or five different times, and then finally releasing it 6 months later. You may also notice that their games are 1000x more polished than this one.
