Do you really think this team could transfer this game to a new engine? Really?

Russ blew a lot of smoke up our asses and said there is a tiny fraction cheating. Only a couple dozen. Said they might not even name and shame and only ban one or two at a time.


Which of course means they are not banning anyone at all. Because anyone who plays CW could name you a couple dozen off the top of their head.

Some guy on youtube was transferring the MWO models in unreal so it's actually very easy and also we're going to make interns do it! It's free real estate.

Right I caught that, I was mostly just curious as to if something else had been said that sparked the additional comments toward the end of the last page.

Either way stating that they ain't naming and shaming insures that no one is going to believe them if they say they've banned anyone.

I think they could sell another wave of gold mechs to pubbies and pay an oustide team to do it...

Edit:

The way it was phrased...they are looking at doing an engine update, but depending on the difficulty of doing so, switching to another engine is not off the table.

Something like that anyway, they're all pretty drunk.

I had like 1200 credits leftover from when I last played this game in like 2012 beta and holy shitballs, this user interface blows. I honestly could not figure out how to purchase the colors. It's a really, really bad thing when people can't figure out how to give you money.

I watched a tutorial video that had the old mechbuilding UI in it. Glad I missed that.

If they make alpha play unviable then brawling mechs are dead. They're based around doing an alpha that does a lot of damage and torso twisting to spread damage. If they make SRMs unaffected by the new ghost heat thing then you'll only see brawling clan mechs being played.

The latter is essentially my valhalla but truthfully having no variety would end up stinking.

Also comparing the poo poo Russ said at the last town hall about cheaters vs what he said today is loving lol

Nah 228 and MS's cw groups aren't cheaters. They're honestly underwhelming if you're running your own 12 man to counter them.

If you wanted to talk cheating I'd say you should look at competitive tournament groups more: 228's tournament group, JgX, SJR, EmP, maybe some of the others like BMMU are where I think you could have people cheating. CW isn't considered worth the time or investment for most the 'elite' of the game so there's less incentive for people to go looking for a helios subscription.

Yeah, if you find cheaters in the community it'll be there. Comp teams are made up of people who are willing to sit around an hour to play a match that has extremely specific rules attached to it to try to fit their idea of a balanced game. These people think they're above CW.

Well, that and weird Russians running old versions of cheats in whatever free to play pile they aren't banned in.

I like the implication that Russ isn't banning cheaters en masse because they're also whales and he doesn't want to lose them as paying customers.

Units are just for having special letters in front of your name, a private chat room, and a ready pool of bozos who you only have to blame for losses half of the time. You can do CW solo if you want, and it's probably easier to get Mechbays that way.

yes mechbays are easy to get till rank 5, after that it is an uphill battle/grind for it. but if it is fun for you to do CW then it is not a grind
