Mechwarrior Online (Previously MW5/MW3015)

I was hopeing for a huge patch to fix at least collisions, netcode, and DHS.

And we get no patch to fix anything, and PGI is in full damage control mode locking threads left right and center with people saying nothing other than WTF are you thinking you launched like this??????

And i cant say i disagree with all the people posting that.

 

[Rifter]

Holy shit, since being at work today, and it being really really slow.

I've been on the MWO forums constantly, and seen no less than 50 threads get DELETED, not just locked but poof gone deleted that had nothing but honest non swearing/raging feedback, with not even any troll responses.

Its a sad day when they start to censor honest feedback.

The damage control is out of control, you cant stop it PGI its going to happen on other websites that you have no control over, perhaps you guys should actually adress some of the major issues instead of trying to play cover up.

If you had half the guys working on bug fixes as you do censoring the fourms maybe you would be able to fix this mess of a game.

they have a staff of 45 and are hiring.

Im not going to get up in arms about the problems that are there. Its still fun, theyre still working on it and i a few months it will be even more fantastic than it currently is.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Funny since it was announced as free I've lost interest but I now think I should give it a try because its free. Even if its crap, I guess it really doesn't matter.

 

[HydroSqueegee]

its a grind and can be frustrating when you get a shit group, but its glorious when everything works out for a sweet win.

 

[Gunbuster]

Are we done on resets from here on out? I'm ok with starting my grind but only if there is no danger of having to start from scratch again.

 

[Elcs]

That was *THE* final reset... as far as the Devs have said all along.

 

[lupi]

Just need to log on when I get home to stop my premium time till a couple bug patches.

Premium time is still going to be reset in ~2 weeks.

yep. you cant stop it right now because the button hasnt been put in. in 2 weeks, premium time will be reset and the button to start you time will be there.

 

[lupi]

so we get 2 weeks of free premium, interesting. may have to play a bit on the weekend then.

I'm glad the group I play with is mostly .mil and former .mil people. The grind is much more tolerable when you have a focused, competent group.

Also don't have to deal with all the bitchin' and drama from little kids. Like some of the whiners on the forums...

Sure the game is still a work in progress but it's shown *massive* improvements since the start of closed beta (I've been playing since June) and I have confidence that the game will get better.

First time in the Cicada. I used my founders cash to buy the one with the XL. This is a FANTASTIC little mech. My biggest problem with it though is the head hitbox is huge, but I guess you cruise around at 130kph so it's not that bad. I've already upgraded to Endosteel and used the tonnage savings to bump my armor up, which has helped a lot. Once they fix DHS I'll give the mech a complete refit.

 

[SarcasticDwarf]

I was finally starting to enjoy MWO, but with the open beta it is filled with complete idiots. God help you if you are a support unit now as your team will not make any attempt to protect you.

 

[greenhawk]

ok, just finished a game and I want to see some sort of battle log / damage report as that last game smelt bad, seriously.

lake map, started at the high end, went to tunnel in my hunchback, max armour, moved at max speed. I mention this as the only things that should be near are lights, and would have to have been jacked up ones at that. got to tunnel entrance, jenner comes down the valley, runs off to play with the two mechs with me. I enter tunnel, spot two more lights, pull back out. sit at the entrance and start firing. about one cycle of my meduim pulse lasers, and boom goes the right torso.

Nothing the fast lights could carry (to get to that point so fast), even if they focused on just me, should have instantly taken out the torso that fast. definitly not a ammo explosion as no ammo in that section (or side arm). rear armour was 12 or 15 points so no tissue paper.

Though now that I think about it, it still leaves friendly fire. a k2 with dual ac20 could have done it, but I would need the battle log and a way to report them in that case.

/end rant

there is either something afoot, or a bug in game greenhawk. I was chilling at the upper base on River City one match minding my own business. And about 20 seconds into the match all of a sudden my CT was Dark Red and the critical damage alarm was going off.

Didnt see a thing. No enemy in line of sight, nothing hit me since my mech didnt rock, no weapon animations, nothing. Just full health to almost dead magically. was real weird. The only enemy we had spotted at the time was a 6 PPC Awesome. So maybe he got me even though i had just saw him go behind a building. was odd.

yes the game has gotten a lot better since the summer. they have tons of things comming down the pike in november and december.

the best part is the DHS will be fixed on Nov 6th and they are going to make the engine sinks function properly at double the rate. But it was also stated they found a large, unspecified, heat related bug they are going to fix also. So they may be rebalancing heat from weapons again. Dunno.

 

[HydroSqueegee]

i was able to make roughly 1 million an hour in my premade group on monday night. getting involved in a group is the way to go with this game.

I found a great bug last night. When swinging my torso and lining up a shot, sometimes my AC/20 round will spiral around like a missile and badly miss my target.

This game really should be called an "Open Alpha."

thats sounds pretty funny. never seen or heard of that before. Ive lined up shots at people right in front of me with dual gauss before and they shoot all crazy, crossing way too soon and flying off into the distance, because the convergance cant correct itself from long to short range quick enough

You don't need to stop it. In fact you can't right now. There will be a "start premium time" button in the next patch in 2 weeks, at which time all premium time is rest to full again and will not start running until you hit the one time use button. Once you hit it, you can not stop it. so plan accordingly.

That being said, I can't believe they have launched to open beta without fixing so many of the glaring problems. These are game breaking things such as getting robbed of CBills in the mechlab, no UI (i.e. no cross-airs, weapon loadouts, friend/foe icons, radar map, no team/all messages etc.) just the 3D cockpit view and external view, complete blackout in game (i.e. you load to the battle and you are greated with a black screen, nothing else, but you can hear things going on until you get killed).

This game is in no shape to begin actual economy that has actual consequences, unless you are guaranteed to always win money (which you are not).

 

[Canun]

I just find it suprising that they will actually take money during a Beta. If it is a Beta, no one should be paying a dime.

 

[HydroSqueegee]

if you want money fast, just spam trial mechs. load up in one, run out and shoot some peeps, die, disconnect and repeat. Some guy did this and made over 2 million an hour.

lol... amazing. this is why they should just give everyone a flat 4 mil or something to start with and make them buy and customize a mech. gets people invested into the gameplay sooner too. could still keep trial mechs but really really nerf how much money you can get off them.

Sad thing is that was their original idea to do that too, give enough for a medium mech. Somewhere along they just decided to stick with the the trail mechs.
