Well having started a little over a month ago I have to say Im over the huge ragefest of the intial learning/rolling stage.
The controls and idea of the game are great for me and I love dropping in my lumbering Hunchback, my nimble Dragon and my outrageous Jenner. In good games I do really well and feel awesome, sadly I still noob it up at times and get stomped. I dont feel the game is hard to learn, rather it is hard to master and very frustrating to noobs.
My feedback-
needs introduction to be better- tutorial and training ground needs major input
Cadet bonus- could do with lasting a bit longer
Mechlab- improvements cant come quick enough I wasted so many c bills here at first
comms- seriously worse game if you solo pug and rely on in game chat
TS- its pretty much the uber fun mode of the game
Players- most are great fun and a good bunch however some are seriously demented or plain annoying
ecm- well i still hate it
premimum time- loved the 24 hr free pass
paints- love it but hate the pricing, please drop costs
hero mechs- havent got one, bit to pricey for my tastes
f2p- I did send some money to the devs but you can grind away for free so thats great
maps- we all know we need more and some reruns to be done to nerf the bugs
new patch- great improvements (mostly) looking forward to new map and mech
Overall an A- could do with some more polish but its pretty dam sweet- Noob friendly this game aint. I still class myself as a Noob btw
Let me follow with my own noob update if you may. According to my inbox, I created this account on the 27th of this month.
TRAINING: Worked for me, I looked at the youtube videos and it made sense to me. I missed the weapon chaining part and fortunately was told in-game.
CADET BONUS: 25 games seems fair enough to me.
MECHLAB: I heard about smurfy-net and have been using it for my builds ever since. PGI should try to match this somehow or licence it from Smurfy.
COMMS: Make VOIP work in the game or create a lobby where users can post their TS3/Ventrilo servers.
TS: If TS/Ventrilo were banned, MWO would be dreary as heck.
Players: Older than I thought they'd be and overall an awesome bunch although there can be some yahoos, like anywhere really.
ECM: I think it very much adds to the game and support it fully. Worried about stealth armor - in a good way.
PREMIUM: I bought it for the CB boost and find it's good value for money.
PAINTS: Prices are high so I only bought one coat, but let PGI have some money to fund the game. Wish I could sell it though for 1/2 price.
HERO MECHS: I bought the Ilya right away for combined hero+cadet bonus goodness. Highly recommended for starters. Next time I'd also get 1 day premium to cover the first 25 matches.
F2P: I think the balance is well struck. I'm a bit concerned that I'll end up spending more than I ever spent on WoW or stand-alone games though. We shall see.
MAPS: Yeah, not enough maps. Getting tiresome now. Would like being able to choose the map to play on and would like 10 more maps at least. Doesn't have to be hyper realistic while we're in beta, just get us more variety. Would love to see a GOOD random terrain generator so each map would be totally different. That would be fantastic.
PATCHES: Annoyed that they fall into the UK-evenings when I'd have time to play after work.
And that's me.
