I had started photoshopping a Roomba onto an Atlas's head... and then stopped in an effort to preserve brain cells.

Another awesome post there Prosperity! You should really look into writing PR for numerous games. Seriously. Subtle wit with a good sprinkling of humour? Gold right there, pure gold.

Actually it could work....

I added a couple passages to address the F2P model of MW:O. Could you please comment and tell me what you think about it? Thanks.

You might have noticed the term "F2P," or Free to Play. That means, once it's officialy released, you can download and play the "full version" of MechWarrior: Online without paying a dime. How will they make money? Well, not only does BattleTech have a fanbase so maniacly loyal and exuberant that they'll jam fistfuls of cash down the Developer's throats just for a glimpse at a screenshot, but you can pay money to customize your gaming experience. There will be an in-game Mech customization facility called the MechLab where you build your Mech and you can use real cash to buy stuff there, and there will be several other ways to relieve that burning sensation in your pants.

HEY! No! No. I know what you're thinking... but you can't buy an ÜberMech with real cash. All equipment and Mechs available to the cash-paying players is also available to the free-playing crowd. With the F2P model being used by the Game Publishers and Developers you can't buy WIN! because all of the BattleMech chassis, weapons platforms, ECM equipment, or "Attack/Defend bonuses" you can buy with real cash will also be available to all your opponents... all of them. You can pay for some boosts make the in-game fictional money and XP come in faster, but you can't buy Platinum Gauss Rifles, Titanium Armor, 55-ton Mechs that can hold 65 tons, or Gold Bullets... or WIN.

It's probably worth mentioning that from my understanding the stuff in the 'Mechlab was purchasable with C-Bills (In game currency) rather than just real money alone, I know what you meant, but it might be worth clarifying that that is how the devs intend to get around the whole pay to win by buying 2 gauss rifles for your atlas.

Those two rifles (and the atlas) are just as available to anyone willing to work towards paying for them with time spent playing.

All of this is of course to the best of my understanding, please feel free to correct me, as like 99% of the people here I have not tried the game and am only basing my comments upon my interpretation of the devs comments.

Good idea; I'm on it.

I simply added a few words for now:

"There will be an in-game Mech customization facility called the MechLab where you build your Mech and you can use in-game fictional currency (C-Bills) or real cash to buy stuff there, and there will be several other ways to relieve that burning sensation in your pants."

I'll work to make it smoother, that's just a stop-gap.


Edit: Okay, I think it's better now. I worked it over real good... still sore.

I require more information minerals. Do I need to construct additional pylons?

I moved this topic between the "pinned". I take my risks in that decision, Prosperity owe me a big favor !! My choice for now is just for testing....warning everyone to behave in a manner appropriate to the forum rules,do not let me take unpleasant measures.Good continuation to all!Bye!

[Felicitatem Parco]

I'll try to keep on top of this if anyone expresses concerns about my choice of wording...

HOWEVER... your choice of wording leaves much to be desired...

"Simple?" That hurts That hurts deep, man.

(heheheh)

"Simple" in the sense that the topic was not created in this case by a moderator......or by developers.Do not take it too bad.Thank you for the correction grammatical.When you need I reveal you some trick to good use of the Italian language !

[Felicitatem Parco]

The only thing I'm taking badly is that I havn't seen any sign of UrbanMech getting into the game yet...

[Nakir]

I love UrbanMech too ...It is a classic of Battletech world.

[Kaemon]

Nice work...now you get to share in the fun of updating it from time to time.


Whee!
