Once you're done with Star Citizen can you go on a jihad against PGI tia~

PGI support is honestly really good and has been one of the most consistently great parts of the company in my experience. When in doubt, contact support@mwomercs.com

I can't wait to play with goons more often again.

I see someone didn't have to go through the bullshit to get a Penix refund, or shamefully choose not to

Everyone should install to witness the peak and own steam noobs then witness the downfall through bad press, bad pr, and general schadenfreude.

Yes, let's all do our part to help maximize the success of PGI's desperate cash grab attempt and prolong the death of this game

Oh I know, I can't wait for a proper (ie, turnbased) BT game, but a cockpit stompy robot game is its own niche that we could use another one of.

Just use PGI assets and pull a MW4 and use a bunch of FMV of dudes in space-1980s gear.

Pretty much the best thing that could happen for MWO is someone else just taking over, which is what makes this whole situation so sad. Hell, firing two people may be all it takes if 19 is the rule and not the exception at the company.

But hey, the heat death of the universe will happen first, so

I think I might have to play this.

Even since the Battletech Kickstarter I have been in the mood to play a BT game again. I have pretty much played them all, including shooting Atlas butts with a Jenner back in the old AOL game a million years ago. I did give MWO a shot a long time ago and it felt like everything could absorb a ridiculous amount of punishment, far more than the tabletop rules permit. I found that a bit weird. Is it still like that? I loaded up the Steam version yesterday and played some tutorials and it didn't seem as bad when I did that wave attack mode. Things went down after a reasonable amount of hits. I have yet to fight a real battle or spend any of my c-bills though. I'm just poking around for now.

The primary problem is that this isn't a BT game, it's a Tetris funding simulator

PGI have just dug themselves a hole with monetisation though because if they adopt a price plan more like War Thunder (what I'd call the gold standard right now) then the backlash from the whales will be immense.

PGI has never given a poo poo about people once they have their money though. See: the founders.

Not that they'd do it, because it's 1) a good business decision and 2) something that would be nice for the player base (that is dumb enough to give PGI money)

Stupid as they are, gold mechs also include the masakari pack (I. E. 3 of each first wave clan mech including one prime variant with a cbill bonus, as well as some premium time and other doodads). You're only really paying 260ish for your gold skin, so it's a MOTHER loving BARGAIN

Remind me again: how long did players have to lobby before PGI caved and made this concession? As I'm sure you recall, the original $500 pack was just for the gold mech.

Easy event but poor rewards, can't even buy a mechbay with that MC.

The other difference between WT and WoT/PGI - WT gives out premiums all the time. And not just intro-level or anything.

And this is on top of the mechanic where you can get premium currency in game for winning squadron battles or golden battle wagers.

PGI never got the memo that part of the way to hook people to F2P/IAP games is to give a small trickle of premium currency for playing the game even outside of special events. Oh well.

I guess PGI knows their whales better than I do...I'm just sad I can't drop and get a mastery package. I would do that multiple time, without issues, just for the 3 bots+3bays....but I will never spend 3 times that amount. I can get an AAA game on Kinguin with that kind of money.

You should never give PGI money

I'm going to give PGI money, it's a Christmas Miracle!

I'm planning on getting a 30bux MC package and buy:
ACH-Prime(C) 3870 - 50% = 1935 MC
SCR-Prime(C) 5565 - 50% = 2782 MC
TBR-C(C) 7590 - 50% = 3795 MC
TOTAL: 8512 MC

With the MCs I have already, I'm going to be left with 1003 MCs.

You should invest in Star Citizen, you're really good with financial decisions

Allow me to paint a picture for you all. I'm in my Pirate's Bane. A locust with 4spl, ecm, and a big rear end engine. It is very short and runs very fast. Some goons and I drop in a group and we get forest colony. Against 228 or sjr or lord, I can't remember.

Anyway, I get a water spawn point and I'm running towards a map edge where no one would ever go, and about half a map square before the map edge a mech hits me dead CT from extreme range. I survive and type "HMM THAT'S NOT SUSPICIOUS AT ALL!" Only to accidentally run out of bounds and explode because mech fast.

A match or two later I'm on frozen city night with the same goons in a Cent-D with a big engine, lbx-10, and 2 mpl. Again we drop against 228/Lord/sjr or whoever. I pop into Jenner alley and run allll the way to the low city side where there's a divot surround by cliffs on 3 sides. The enemy never saw me.

I wait until 10:00 and then go to suicide and as soon as I move out into the open a grasshopper rounds the corner and starts shooting me. He's losing the fight and a black knight rounds the corner and CTs me from 600m while I'm twisting and cuddling this grasshopper.

This question is mostly for #19, are pgi working on a way to detect and flag accounts that use Helios? Because it's really ruining the gently caress out of the only fun part of this game, the shooting mechs part.

Excuse me, but they banned the one and only person using cheats ages ago :colbert:

As Russ said last night, the cheat tool website itself states that we successfully detected them, back when people got banned for it last year. I don't know now much more you need than that. We're not going to publish more details on how they were detected because that gives away more information to your opponent which is a bad idea in a cat and mouse game.

So either you can detect cheaters but didn't all this time because it hurts your bottom line, or Russ's tweets hold the same truth value as ever

While, honestly, banning cheaters that also have gold robots is the pinnacle of "cool things to do". gets : x 50, we see less gold whales that need to be legged because they're blue. Everyone wins.

are you reverse Heffay? Asking for a friend.

Hmm. Reverse Heffay? Well, I guess so.

I'm not blindly adherent to PGI's claims, I have enough self respect to not give the company money, I don't accept things Russ tweets as if they were facts, I'm a goon, I play other games that are actually good, and I don't have to try really hard to get stupid people really upset at my posts on the internet, and I'm not objectively wrong when I post.

I think the only way in which I'm not the inverse Heffay is that I'm actually sad goons get this mad about a bad video game :allears:

That's a big negatory, hence people getting short about the topic. The assumption seems to be, if it's going to happen it would have happened by now, that the whole cheat detection is just smoke an mirrors and the last ban wave was due to cheaters being really blatant and streaming themselves during a tourney and not to any actual detection algorithm.

It's almost like I'm clairvoyant about :pgi:

Blahhh blahh blahhh blahhh. Very few cheaters in MWO. Less than you realise. We have certain tech that tells us this. Less than 1 percent. A couple dozen.

Some players have not logged since announcement. We may only ban 1 or 2 people at a time and not do a name and shame list.
