I was thinking to get the $60 Elite founder pack. Wondering if there is any other player playing now, if getting founders pack, then we can start playing the beta now right? Asking friends around in facebook, but no one answering my recruit.
Any opinion will be good.
UPDATE: Upgraded to legendary founder package and enjoy it very much!
MechWarrior Synopsis:
QUOTE
Welcome MechWarrior!
Piranha Games is proud to bring you the next instalment in the MechWarrior® franchise. It has been a long time coming and this synopsis will help to answer some of your questions. If you've read through Dev Blog 0, you'll know that we are a premium Free-To-Play game based on the bestselling BattleTech® Universe. When coming up with the core game features for MechWarrior® Online™, we create and focused on four pillars of design and player experience. These pillars include:
Mech Warfare – The embodiment of Mech to Mech combat. Role Warfare – The ability for player's to customize their experience to suit their own style of gameplay. Community Warfare – The ability to let the players take part in epic combat for territorial control. Information Warfare – Bring a new element to the battlefield that incorporates information technology to help control the fight.
Sypnosis for all "pillars":

Mech Warfare:
We want to make sure we bring the roots of the MechWarrior® titles back to the surface and also incorporate the basic rules from the BattleTech® Universe. Players will be able to customize their BattleMechs with weapon and armor upgrades as well as customize their cosmetic appearance in the MechLab. This means players can look unique or fall in line with their Merc Corp colors and truly represent themselves in combat. The next part of Mech Warfare is controls/piloting a BattleMech. Since our key platform is the PC, it only makes sense to really bring the simulation control system back for seasoned players, with the option to have easy access configurations for newer players. When dealing with controls, we really want to bring skill back into combat rather than heavily assisted combat as seen in most modern day first person shooters. The interface between the MechWarrior® and the BattleMech is being revisited as well. A new 3D HUD system is being designed for the neurohelmet pilot information display. The view point of the game is from the pilot (MechWarrior®'s) point of view. Players will be able to look around their cockpit and even customize the interior to suit their tastes.
Role Warfare:
When it comes down to play style for any given player, we want to make sure that we have as many options as possible to cater to as many player types as possible. This is where things get really interesting. Everything from choosing a BattleMech to how a MechWarrior® is trained, will allow a player to truly customize their own personal game experience. What is a player's preferred role when playing MechWarrior®? Scout? Attacker? Defender? Commander? Whatever it is, a player will be able to train their MechWarrior to specialize in their style of gameplay. Players are highly encouraged to participate in team based gameplay. The fast manoeuvrable scouts will be able to relay information back to the commander units who in turn relay that information to the attacker and defender units. As players advance their MechWarrior in a role, more skills and abilities related to their role will become available. Remember, a team who plays together will always win together.
Community Warfare:
MechWarrior® in all of its incarnations has always had a loyal following of players in one of the strongest on-line communities in gaming history. Piranha-Games hopes to bring this community together in a friendly conflict of universal control. This may sound a little odd, but it is the fun competitiveness that will keep the game alive and kicking for years to come. Utilizing the BattleTech® Inner Sphere, we plan to have skirmishes amongst the Great Houses in BattleTech® lore. Allowing the player to have an active part in this conflict is one of our key directives in designing this game. Players will be able to create, manage and customize their Merc Corp's player base and appearance, while banding together to really delve into the Inner Sphere conflict where House alignment reigns supreme. Merc Corp leaders will bid and fight for occupation rights to some of the most valuable planets across the Inner Sphere and challenge other Merc Corps for control of planets reaping large rewards.
Information Warfare:
Evolving the MechWarrior® experience required a new layer of gameplay. Instead of large open expanses and circle strafing parties, we wanted to examine the core play experience of the previous MechWarrior® titles and see if we could bring a more tactical/strategic experience to MechWarrior® Online™. Relying more on line-of-sight and incorporating information technologies, we feel that information warfare will bring a new level of realism to the fight and help enforce the idea of team based multiplayer even more. Another aspect of Mech Warfare, something that we can do with new technology, is urban combat. The battlefield is no longer open areas with mile long sightlines. . Tactical maneuvers will be required now more than ever and the key to success is using InfoTech alongside great team play. The newly implemented Battle Grid will give commanding units a bird's eye view of the battlefield and scouts will be able to feed real time recon information to them. The battlefield commander will be able to call in air strikes, artillery strikes and other support unit requests.
Ah... another mechwarrior found, Im old also, about 27. I see... really no time to spend?
Then... what you playing now actually? Doesnt think i can play for a long time too, maybe one to two hours daily. Now on D3 and maybe battlefield. Starts getting tired of PC gaming sometimes, but this MechWarrior just fired up me. Touched MW3 and 4, not before, not hardcore MW fans which started on MW2 or maybe the first.
Fav mech == Catapult. The first mech game was MechCommander though. Nice game indeed!
I was in a guild last time, was always using a clan mech , hated the inner sphere.
Was rolling around in a 100 tonner daishi.
Alpha Strike !
Im 25 this year, in a consulting job, between work, gym, golf and social responsibilities, i can barely fit 1 hour of Starcraft 2 into my schedule.
Rather sleep >.>
Clan mech design more looking good, inner sphere like square square de. LOL boring looks. But i like Catapult.
Alpha Strike? The "Enter" on the Numpad, which fires all weapon?
Wow, it seems you have a healthy lifestyle, I have copy of SC2 but only gathering dust. Not good @ playing it. Just to play the campaign. Waiting HOS though.
May need to start myself on gym too, too unhealthy sitting playing PC games everyday.
I still love Hunchback, Vultures, Raven and lastly MadCat Launching several LRM packs after get a dead lock is a fun way to torture your enemy's mech.
Not to forget Clan's ER PPC jolting the pilot controls from far
Ah... those ER weapons... One hard to forget mission, i think in MW4 Mercenaries, need to be stealth one, at night. Wow. Cant forget that. You going to play MW: Online?

Most probably. Been looking around for something that can replace mech games. So far don't have. Will give it a go
im still doubt about the game, and they still havent approve my beta...
Doubt abt the game, me too, but some one need to try. U got your founder pack? If you dont, they wont give you access to beta so soon. But diff story once you get it. Now im downloading the client.
If you purchased the founder, i fill up the profile details, agree to terms and condition and NDA bla bla, then download the client!
Not sure on the size but seems like 4GB or more from checking online...
I get the $60 pack. and choose Catapult as founder mech, note that you can perform upgrade in founder pack later before 6th Sept i think. Maybe you can get $30 to get in the closed beta then upgrade later if not satisfied. Or really cant spent much, then you need to wait for the open beta. Which should be open to wide audience, or wait until its launch. Its Free to Play model BTW.
This was years ago, there was a VR sim centre there. Shame it shut down, too expensive I guess.
Anyway, looking forward to this, but will not pay for it. I suspect the weapons balance is going to plague it for quite a bit, right up to release.
VR sim centre, so its another game? Seems like there will be quite a while before those clan mech shows up there...

tot lasttime was free... now pay adey what hppend?
Still free, just that now in closed beta, those paying get extra stuff, mechs, credits bla bla and can get to play now. Can play for free during open beta or launch which still unsure when.
I got the closed beta invite and played for awhile.
So far the beta server is in North America so basically the ping is surely higher than others. Light mechs is quite OP if piloted by low ping players. You'll see lots of jenner raping other med/heavy/assault piloted by lag players like a boss.
And I SWEAR my lasers & Railguns hit the enemy (i even track it) but after end of game the damage dealt by me is the lowest I was like... wth ?!
Hopefully official release got asia server, else getting Founder's Program for Asia player is a waste of money.

I dont know why is this, and its the 1st time I encounter among BETA test games that I have played.

Now get into that game, and have fun, MechWarrior!
I tried yesterday using atlas, its an auto matchmaking system. Using UNIFI 5mb, everything seems fine, no lagging found. I still not sure how to play though. Graphic is superb, coz powered by Cryengine 3. The overheat thingy start getting on my nerf though. The game has potential, but right now its boring coz theres only VS mode. I be happy to see capture the flag mode, and so on.

Played MW4 and MW:Merc and another 1 MechAssault on Xbox. If my memory serve right, Atlas and Madcat MKII is the only badass mech

Atlas belongs to the heavy assault spec mech. 100 ton. Sure can load lots of weaps to it.
MAdcat is the 2 missilepacks LRM20s. If they have the game mechanics that if missilepacks were hit, they explode or disable the weapon function then Madcat is very easy target

yeah was playing it jz now, not sure if its my latency 268 ping or my cheap plak comp, laggy. And cant change weapon grouping
You can change weapon groups actually, just use Right Ctrl and the arrow keys to select your weapon and group. There's a pretty big post about it in the BETA forums.

i am in the approved closed MW online beta. it is interesting. pilot skills trees and mech skills trees are a new interesting concept as well.
you can customize your mech. after you buy your own and stop using the trial mech. it will roughly take 50 rounds for you to be able to buy a respectable mech for yourself. very very hard to reach there. plus you don't get XP until you start using your own mech.
some tips (since i crash course through it) 1. use "R" to Radar lock targets & hammer them with LRM. 2. as for weapon grouping, use CTRL to cycle through selected weapons, using left/right cursor to put them into selected group. like grouping laser weapons as one groups, LRM as another group. 3. with our ping of 250++ , having a fast runner mech to storm enemy base is just not practical. 4. some players don't go for kill but concentrate on taking a particular section part of a enemy mech as it gains more money and XP, due to harder to kill an enemy mech.

The wait is almost over for those who haven’t already made their way onto the stompy, mech-infested battlefields of MechWarrior Online by way of key or invite. Starting next week, the beta is opening up to all aspiring combatants. You have until midnight on the 14th to become part of the Founders Program, grabbing some exclusive rewards and hipster cred that you just can’t put a price on.
anyone have any recommendations which first mech to buy? i am considering between Dragon type or the Centurion type, the Dragon type is heavy class seem to have a better balance but both purchase price are high and low ranging Dragon type at around 5.5million and Centurion type around 3.5million.
i just realise that you can actually speed up the destruction of the enemy base by whacking the little box in the center (supposedly flag i guess). hahaha...

No, the date of OBT got pushed back.

Bewarned Don't bother buying new mech just yet They still havent fix the damn armor bug which is when you customized your mech, you cant put armor/armor wont be saved Its been a f***ing week and still no hotfix
I suggest you read all the guidance on the forum; and since you are using trial pick the one that suit your play style. Group up with friend to play together. Pugstomping is horrible these days...
yeap, but farming with trial mechs gonna take a while... dunno if they've re-adjusted the rate, i rage quit after they adjust it during close beta...the money was terrible if you didn't win
probably won't reset, if they reset those who start their premium account status timer will be royally screwed

A response to the major concerns of the community.
We would like to let you all know that we DO listen and DO carefully follow the forums, Facebook, Tweets, PMs and support tickets. We have a team of committed staff whose entire job is to tell us these things.
Game development is similar to trying to steer a very large ship. To make changes in direction takes time and accurate judgement calls. Even after the decision to change direction has been made, it takes a lot of time to make sure the change is working and the direction is valid. A lot of the feedback on the forums specifically are in the **** for implementation, but again it comes down to time to get them ready and tested before sending it out to you folks on the live servers.
That being said, we’d like to address the concerns and worries that many of you have regarding Open Beta, Match Making, Founder’s Premiums, Game Balance, New User Flow and the future of Community Warfare.
Open Beta:
We have decided to push Open Beta back. We agree that the game's current state of stability is not allowing us to get the latest experience across to new and veteran players alike. This is a short push back on the date and will depend on the stability and playability of the build.
Current Gameplay Issue:
The instability (lag to completely dead FPS) has been identified and we will put out a fix tonight. We also want to make sure this fix works on the Live game servers so you will get a new patch very soon.
Match Making:
The developers at PGI are all veteran game players. Many of us were or still are competitive gamers and truly know the feeling of a great match played between two equally matched teams.
The next 3 stages of planned releases for Match Making involve the following:
Phase 1:
Reduce the maximum # of players in a group to 4. This means when players form a group, they will only be able to add 3 people. When that group launches, they will be put in a bucket. The match maker will then fill the rest of the 8 player team with 4 PUGs or any partial groups that are looking for a match at that moment. The same will happen for the other team. Matches will still be 8v8 but instead of playing against 8 people in an organized premade, you will see a max of 4.
Now before you light your pitchforks, we know that this does not address all the issues and that 8-player groups are the mainstay of community and organized team-play. This is why we move to Phase 2 VERY soon after Phase 1.
Phase 2:
Players will be able to convert their 4-player group to an 8-player group similarly to how World of Warcraft’s group to raid conversion works. With a click of a button, a group leader can convert a 4-player group to 8-players and invite 4 more players to the group. There is a limitation to this however. If the group leader decides to convert to an 8-player group, they MUST have 8 players in order to launch. (i.e. you cannot launch a game with 5,6 or 7 players). In addition to that, your 8-player group will be matched to another 8-player group ONLY. This does reduce the change of finding a match quickly but at the same time 8-players teams will finally be matched to other 8-player teams exclusively.
At some future date we will also want to include the ability to challenge a specific 8-player team to a match in a competitive/eSport manner. But as stated, this will be coming at a later date.
Phase 3:
We have been examining the various ranking systems in other games/structured tournament play etc. This includes ELO, TrueSkill and others. Our current plan is to use a hybrid system that uses the mentality of ELO with a weighting system that we’ve determined that drives down to player effectiveness/skill in a match. In order for this to work properly, we will need to do heavy pre-release testing before it goes live to the community and hence the amount of time to get it implemented.
We currently cannot go into detail as to how this system will work because we are not going to over-promise something that may change during implementation. We will try to keep you as up to date on this as possible.
Founder’s Premium Account Status:
We have heard your cries and we are responding to them…
On the date of Open Beta, your Premium Account timer WILL start ticking. Around Open Beta, a button will appear that will allow YOU the Founder’s account holder to decide when the timer starts to tick down. At the same time as this button appearing, your used Premium Account time will be reset to its full value. At that point, you can click the button to start your timer but you cannot stop it. It will be up to you to decide when the Premium Account starts to tick.
Please note that this only applies to Founder’s Premium Account Bonus. Founder’s Mechs behave as planned from Open Beta onward.
Players who purchase a Premium Account AFTER Open Beta will have their timers start immediately upon purchase.
Game Balance:
The game is fairly close to where we want it but the last few items are finally coming into play in terms of Mech on-board systems and items such as Double Heat Sinks, Ferro Fibrous Armor which directly relate to weapon balance and combat experience. Now that those systems are in place, we will be looking into balancing factors such as heat and damage/damage over time etc.
For more information about where weapons are going, check out this link.
New User Experience:
We are adding a lot of tutorials for new players, and we believe this will help greatly. We’re also tightening the UI to make the flow easier to understand. In general, we’re adding a lot in the coming days, and we do understand this is needed to help new players the various complexities of MechWarrior Online.
Videos of every aspect of Mech Warfare will be coming soon, including moving your Mech, arming your Mech and tactics with your Mech.
Community Warfare: Let’s start off by re-quoting the original Community Warfare Pillar from our game description:
Community Warfare: MechWarrior® in all of its incarnations has always had a loyal following of players in one of the strongest on-line communities in gaming history. Piranha-Games hopes to bring this community together in a friendly conflict of universal control. This may sound a little odd, but it is the fun competitiveness that will keep the game alive and kicking for years to come. Utilizing the BattleTech® Inner Sphere, we plan to have skirmishes amongst the Great Houses in BattleTech® lore. Allowing the player to have an active part in this conflict is one of our key directives in designing this game. Players will be able to create, manage and customize their Merc Corp's player base and appearance, while banding together to really delve into the Inner Sphere conflict where House alignment reigns supreme. Merc Corp leaders will bid and fight for occupation rights to some of the most valuable planets across the Inner Sphere and challenge other Merc Corps for control of planets reaping large rewards.
Nothing has changed from this original vision of where we want to take Community Warfare. The thing about Community Warfare the decision to push it out further post Open Beta, is the sheer size of the feature and the amount of time to implement. Right now we want the dev team to focus on getting the current game feature set into the live build and then stabilize the build as people join us through the first few weeks of Open Beta. Soon after, a large segment of the entire team will shift over to getting Community Warfare coded and implemented so we can get this into the hands of internal/early beta tester’s hands so we can launch the feature in the future. Because of the sheer workload of this feature we cannot give you an accurate timeline for delivery for this but we will start rolling out information as we begin development of Community Warfare.
After this big gameplay injection, we will look at the plan for the Clan Invasion.
- The MechWarrior™ Online® Team
TL;DR full reset on open beta. More game modes coming soon.
Seriously, this game can be very brutal for the newbies.
Least you could do is at the very minimum RTFM. The beta section of the MWO forum has got many pinned threads that one should read before QQ-ing and complaining.
Plus this game IS in closed beta currently, so that means there's bound to be plenty of bugs and resets.
The ping is around there for us Malaysian, even the Australian. Rumour has it that they plan to set-up server for Asian region.. well lets hope it is true.
Added on October 24, 2012, 8:31 am You have the Legendary Founder tag...wow...you paid USD120? We have a hardcore fan here.
I might get one if they extend it...disovered it too late...maybe a Veteran tag should be enough..
i was first paid for veteran (the $60 one right?), later only upgrade to $120. Not so hardcore compared to others which start MechWarrior since the MW2. Im starting from MW3. haha. No regret yet, at least i can test other mech class which is also founder's mech.
Too bad it was too late for you. I found it in August. No regret yet exlude the ping issue. Kinda hard to catch those light mechs. Haiz... hopefully there will be SEA server, haha too greedy am i? At least give Asia server also good la.
ya lo, any others? =D

Everyone else is having the same problem including armor,xl engine, etc imagine the fella add in ferro armor Im posting mine in rearming aspect
And to quote the patch notes:
"We've also made changes to the economy of the game. Firstly, we standardized MC to C-Bill pricing. Secondly, we've lowered engine prices and item prices have been increased. This all adds up to, Mech costs being the sum of it's parts. While it doesn't follow the canon pricing, it is close."

Item price increase = Repair cost increase.
Not to mention you are running an XL Engine.
Nah thats screenshots not mine but back to the point
this economic update gimps alot of non-premium players. Every match is either little profit of 1k-10k cbills or negative profit. Its like this patch is saying "yeah buy premium every month so you can maintain better mechs,weapons,engines and upgrades" Its closed to borderline pay2win.
So currently the founders have the advantage of maintaining high end mechs, lrm boats while the free2play have to resort to subpar trial mechs tthat can't be customized to your liking to earn profit. I hope they rebalanced the economy

No, what this means is that people need to learn how to play better. Be it individual skill or forming up their own lance, or joining up with the numerous established Merc Corps to keep their cost down.
The eventual meat and potatoes of the "Online" bit of MWO would be community warfare, where by individual mechwarriors would eventually be shoehorned, if a player chooses to, into either a Merc Corps or House Allegiance.
Right now, in the closed beta, it is pretty much only mech warfare. Drop in, hammer the 8 other mechs and hopefully you dont die too much. And it will be like that for sometime more till they fix the other bugs.
It is not pay to win. A premium account or a founders' mech is pay for convenience. The convenience is the ability to earn C-bills faster.
Dont want to grind as much ? Pay for premium or buy a mech outright.
Well, the concept of pay to win is fairly simple. Let's take blackshot for an example. You pay cash for guns with extremely low recoil/high damage. Obviously, you just paid for an advantage there as two players of similar skill (of course, a pro player would headshot you just as well with his stock m16) go head on, the player with the money-bought gun would win.
What we see here is the average non-founder feels restricted and frustrated with the trial mechs and henceforth, assume that the people willing to plonk down some cash for premium bonuses are paying to win.
As Auricom mentioned earlier, the premium bonuses are only there for 1 thing, to save your time. There is no advantage gained by piloting a founder's mech. Our onboard weaponry is not Clantech/Lostech, we do not have modular omnimechs, and our mech is virtually a carbon copy of a standard prime variant. So, we are not paying to win.
Trial mechs are there for 1 thing, RUN HOT or DIE. Practice, find good tactics, use team-mates as meat shields. Our 'modded' mechs differ from the trials by just one major thing - we can sustain a longer duration of fire due to efficient heat management; with the cost of having lower firepower than a trial mech.
I'll probably wont be playing Mechwarrior Online until the full release of the game is out. The way the beta is now, does feel a little bit disappointing to me but a beta is beta, things are meant to be broken and unfinished. The way the game is quite depressing to play. I played the closed beta and it doesnt even feel as fun as Mechwarrior 4 with terrible performance issues.
Still, i am hoping that this game will have a nice balance between paying players and free players. I will pay for the game in one way or another, but if they are expecting me to pay a 4 figure price to fully enjoy the game, then, sorry, i wont be playing this.
Free to play is a very difficult game to develop where if you emphasize on the paying side too much, you'll get pay to win like those awful asian MMOs. One the other hand, if you focus too much on giving out free stuff, you'll run into the problem of not earning enough money. One of the new free to play game, Auto Club Revolution ran into this problem because the free cars are actually the best cars in the game.
Reporting for Duty. i pilot a custom DRAGON name DRG-TIBERIUS
ingame pilot name: TiberiusNeo
was thinking of purchasing the Ferro Armor cost 600k, does anyone know how good is it?
Great. Updated into first page. I have no idea on that yet. Upgraded to Double Heat Sink though. Not sure DHS got huge improvement or not. Just that got more tonnage to spare? Havent done the Ferror Armor yet, cant give advice, maybe i will try later since the reset coming soon... i will just spent.

Have you tried it recently? Maybe it will change your mind? (a little at least? ) Me too prefer to have a full price game instead of free to play. But im still enjoy it so far.
I think the "full release" of the game is hard to defined. You may need to wait forever. BTW, my own shadow still not moving according to my mech movement!

Yes, i have played it recently and it is still pay to enjoy/win garbage. Just like Hawken or Planetside 2 to a certain extend.
I sincerely hope the free to play bubble burst soon. These kind of money grabbing games should not even exist in the first place.

hawken graphic requirement is too high, kept getting error saying ran out of video memory T_T just test it out this morning and the gameplay is like playing COD, just that you're sitting in the mech. lol

Hawken is running on an Unreal 3 engine. It just not optimised.
Not like Mechwarrior Online is running any better. It is also as laggy as Hawken.

Cheesenium, you playing Project Cars right? How is it? No thread opened for the game? I just registered there and put you as referer, lol. It is already kickstarted before? Will try search for info online later at night.

No offense, MWO doesnt even feel like playing a Mech Warrior game with all these pay wall covering most of the content. I like customising my mechs back in older mechwarriors or just charge into a battle and have fun. In MWO, you cant really do that because you need to pay up or grind for new chassis or weapons. If not, cough up tonnes of C Bills to fix your mech every match. The payment model is very intrusive, to be honest and being a free player, it is just so difficult to enjoy. My principle towards free to play games is, if i cant even enjoy the game as a free to play player, i wont be paying them because that would mean that i have to be paying for microtransaction continuously to enjoy it.
Coming as a person who loved Mechwarrior, MWO is just garbage. It could just beta is beta crap, but if they keep it this way, they wont be seeing a cent from me. I know some free to play games sucked when they are in open beta, namely Tribes Ascend that actually became much better after release, i do hope MWO will be like this too.
I am not playing much of Project CARS at the moment, until i save enough money for a full member access. It is kinda underwhelming playing the game as a Junior as so many content are locked to higher membership so, i stopped playing. Project CARS has been kickstarted since late last year, and it has been going on for more than a year now. It is pretty good, but it feels much more like a sim than a console racing game so this game might not be suitable for everyone. Very happy with the progress so far, as SMS has been quite transparent so far. You can join the development of Project CARS at http://www.wmdportal.com/
I'll probably wont be opening a thread, as i think, not many people will be interested in it. If you want to, i can open it.
I did pledged in a few other kickstarter projects, such as Project Eternity, Planetary Annihilation, Star Citizen, Nekro, Grim Dawn and Distance. Hopefully they will turn out to be good as i am getting very tired with publisher's meddling in game development or great franchise being ruined by free to play model. I think not every game works well with free to play model, some games worked very well, like League of Legends or Dota 2, while others just terrible. It is mainly due to the implementation though.

The repair bill was high after the last patch..my hero mech yen lo wang with standard armor, XL engine, internal endo steel - cos from 50-90k...but with 30% bonus cbills - still can cover up lol... The standard amor was expensive for repar - dunno if it is caused by a buy or not.

I still ocassionaly get the video blackouts, memory allocation problem, drop in frame rate and based on feedbacks from the forums it definitely not caused by mediocre system. Yes they have still long way to go, the game is still in beta stage. MWO is a rubbish game? No way, I kinda enjoyed it even it's not 100% caused by the buggy issues.
It is definitely feels Mechwarrior even the classic in game voices , fabulous soundtracks are missing - these are the refinements they need to do after they solve the performance issues.
I don't play many games, I'm not a gamer, the last f2p multiplayer games I've played were America's Army, Arma 2 Free - and I think many MW fans agree with me it's not only the gameplay that attract old fags like us - it is the depth of the Battletech universe, the memory when we were teens while playing the game. It was Mechwarrior 2 which started the 1st proper battletech mech sim with proper sound effects from speakers - with kick ass music.
I had just commit money to purchase credits to help them and I want them to succeed badly..even I paid it doesn't guarantee I'll win cos my skill still sux even with a Hero mech...free players with trial mechs they can earn cbills without having to spend on anything.
Added on October 28, 2012, 9:27 pmYes - I do feel that way when the choice of gameplays feels limited - like only have 4 maps/death match..but I grew to love it so much after played many times.

1. If you are using AC/5, a single one ammo for one weapon is more than enough. two AC/5 then have two ammo slot AC/5. having more is pointless cause you won't survive long enough... UNLESS, you are piloting an ATLAS which can last pretty long.
2. Remember, LRM has a short range limit where it won't work.
3. Use "R" to give support lock where your team mates can hammer the enemy mech from long range to give you support you need.
4. ER Large Laser can be good for a configuration cause you get to hit them at 675 range away. At that far away, your heat will dissipate fast enough till you reach near.
5. Never sacrifice torso armor, but if you wanted a little more weight for something else, can sacrifice a bit of leg or head armor to get 1-2 tons.
6. Invest in AMS (Anti Missile system) if can, it is not 100% effective but it will save you tons of armor from getting bash up even before you reach the enemy mech.
7. Its okay to sell your current engine to get a less powerful to save tonnage. i sold my Engine 300 to get a Engine 260 which my max speed is around 70 which is good all rounder.
8. Do NOT go below 60 speed for anything less than assault mech class. you really can die very fast.
9. Ferro Armor does seem to make me survive a little longer but only got me 1-2 tonnage lighter. i guess better than nothing. DANGER! READ BELOW!
10. You can outmaneuver LRM missiles by moving sideways or heading straight for it.
11. Remember to invest your XP points in area's which deals with Heat and Acceleration and Torso Turning.
12. Have two set of weaponry if possible, for heat is your biggest enemy and certain maps environment generates more heat, for example: Energy + A/C , Energy + Missiles , Missiles + A/C
13. The few best all rounder seems to be the Dragon and Awesome Mech types. This is my 2cents.
edited, using FF armor is good but severely expensive to repair. unless you have a few million C-Bills on hand and can win every match then it is good. it took me 60k to repair my FF armor that does not inclusive of structural and items repair. another player advise me not to use too expensive items, he made a good point there.

I can't agree on all your opinion, Sir...but good suggestion non the less. May I add on to the list; adding heat sink on your legs will cool down your mech faster when you are in the water.

I am not saying the gameplay is terrible, as to be honest, most free to play these days have very solid and fun gameplay. The whole atmosphere, graphics and the feel of piloting a huge stompy mech is awesome. The problem lies on the business model where it feels like it just want to rip your money from your wallet for some small content. Paying 20USD for a Mech isnt really acceptable for me, as this is just ridiculous. It cost more than a movie ticket, them park tickets, food and so on. Games should not be this expensive, to be honest, and these microtransaction will inflate the cost of playing a game to the point that is absurd. There are people out there who have spent 4 to 5 figures on a free to play game. If it is that case, i might as well spent my thousand of dollars on investments than putting them in a game for a few "special" mechs. I dont mind paying some money for a free to play, but the idea of paying for small contents continuously is ridiculous.
After the whole sky high repair bills, i doubt i want to play this game anymore, as it feels like they want you to buy your way out or stick to trial mechs. I understand their logic of putting this system where it is to prevent paid users steam roll free users with paid mechs and loadouts, but the implementation is terrible, im afraid. The long grind is quite painful too.

You still can invest in Project CARS, but better do it quick as they might be closing funding soon.
The final game will be a full priced retail game. Originally a F2P, but the backers didnt like it, so, they changed it to selling it one off with expansions later on. There should be about 50+ unique models on release.
Do this morning really got patch? No need to download any patch when i fired up MWO this morning?
No patch but the repair seem cheaper with internal endo-steel structure, so I guess they really did use MVC programming concept lol...logic change but same view.
We guys can join the ARMD and play together. Seriously even with a premake team without any solid coordination and command we will get out butt kicked real hard. Tried already lol even with closed Beta mechwarriors.
ARMD will assign 2-3 new newbies for each team. If we play consistently with them, we will get promoted to recruits then privates and be part of the team.

No one likes defector, but there is no stopping from someone joining more than two clans... This is just for those interest. I dont think there will be enough ppl to open a clan btw, not organized will be failed.

Quite flexible and not needed to be committed to enjoy the community. Not to mention alot of team slots available to just drop in and start the game right away

i agree OWP, starting a new clan and organising it to be sucsessful is not easy. it takes commitment and lot of time. and i think hypermount meant just kidding.

The first mech I got is a Huchback 4SP. Kinda fun using it with SRMs. Double heatsinks really made things easier.
Notes: -Moving your feet while your head is looking the other way really took some time to adjust to - This game need more mech to drool for - Need more weapons/equipment - pings average: 280 ms - I wish this game gonna be as user friendly as WorldofTanks is. They can learn some tips from them. Need better battle reports. -spectated a Jenner with pulse that took down an Atlas 1v1 O_o Feet is a weakpoint.
Yeah saw that but i'm still trying out mechs. Just started today, don't want to mess your game with me running around testing stuff I'm a decent scout 5 kills on my first day not too bad..

Yo all. player reporting in. I registered for the closed beta but didnt do it. Lucky I saw this tread, otherwise I wouldnt have known the game has already been launched. Edit - opps spoke too soon. open beta only izit?
I didnt read through all 12 pages, but saw some discussion on previous MW games you all played. I first played Battletech/MW with BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Revenge on my old Intel 386 DX, then I played the board games called Battletech, card games (never owned the cards though), all the mechwarrior series except MW 1, all the Mechcommander series. I think that was all. anyway downloading the game now haha.

nope the board game is actually cheap once you already have the board. there used to be some free programs out there that you can use to customise/design your own mechs. but i have no idea if they still exist.
aiyak i just tried the game. damn laggy for me. probably coz my GC sux. looks like i will be giving this game a miss.

Enjoy playing today, with wonky, green buddha, and another one, cant recall the name... hmm start with p. Having fun and keep on winning. The only not so good part is... all the kills goes to those Atlases (or shud i said Atlai?!

Hardly can play with low fps. Scouted around the MWO forums, I'm not the only one affected.
Before this still playable with 25~30 fps on my low end pc, 10fps drop is not noticeable for some of you guys who is getting higher fps but not for me.
I might quit temp before till I get new hardware or they fix the prob asap.

I've not experienced the fps drop. And i'm using ancient 3 year old Quad core with 5870 gc only.
But bugs are more prevalent tho like stuck at mechlab when done with loudouts after a match, crash to launch menu which i never get pre patch.
Im getting low FPS for this game, abt 10(during gun fight) - 40fps. Using QuadCore also, Core 2 Quad Q9550 with GTX570. Having frequent disconnection yesterday around 11pm. Haiz...
It is free to play? when it is officially released? Oh man,Im mechwarrior fanatic here, love piloting Madcat Mark 2 and forgot the name of mech that can fire massively LRAM but not catapult

Its free to play, but not sure on official release. Right now is open beta, you can start playing as there wont be any data reset. No clan mech for now as the game progress according to battletech timeline. Clan mech will be available once clan invasion hitting, im not sure when though, will be in next year i think.
Massive LRM == Stalker? BTW, please download it and test. I think you wont disappointed with that.

Hi edge85, sorry for the late reply, well the ARMD tags are given once u have been officially promoted to cadet, the prmotion from recruit to cadet up to private is mostly based on your attendance, attendance means the number of times you join us in teamspeak and play. we review this on a weekly basis. Of course you have to fill in the roll call sheet or else we wont know how often you play with us.
from Lance corporal and and above, in addition to being active, you have to attend and pass training sessions that we carry out from time to time. You will be assessed on different skills and need to carry out responsibilities required of your rank.

with that being said we also welcome casual gamers who just want to drop in and have fun, we recognise that not everyone has the time to be too dedicated. However as time goes by ARMD has grown very large, thus we have to cull exisiting members which are inactive, and here i mean those who have been missing for a month or more.

ewww HAwken doesn't feel like mech sim..everything moves so fast
no customisation, just shoot them up like other FPS..
MWO is fine for 300ms ping, team up with ARMD with similar ping, 691 / 468 win/losses , 0.9 k/d rate for a non gamer like me is quite an achievement. Waiting to get new rig to see how it looks in ultra high setting.
paladinowp, we're still playing with AMRD.
There are reasons why people prefer "thinking" FPS like OpsFlashpoint or ARMA more comapre to the rest.

Agreed. Hawken is too fast, wonder how the mech can make it. ok its just a game. Reading Battletech novel now. Piloting a mech in combat is really... painful and most importantly HOT! Ahaha.
Those lights really killing me in game. Maybe need to armed with Streak SRM for chasing those lights. Haiz. None of my Cataphracts equipped with it now. Dam!
Going pug seems pitiful, K/D and win/lose ratio decrease dramatically. LOL
hypermount, im still playing with them too, just that less active last week due to personal stuff.

yea - lights are easy to kill with streaks..not really a problem..cataphract 4x variant have a missile hardpoint...i'm also grinding my phracts to unlock basic and elite efficiencies. To counter the ECM,high latency and playing this game really needs a good teamwork, this is what MWO can offer...Hawken go play solo can win, very COD-ish.
best part is my 3 uac5 equipped muromets - jam also nevermind - rapid firing really sounds like minigun version of autocanon lol..
yea one of the main reason I'm playing this game is because it based on Battletech universe, if it's any other game I don't think I'll play it. Now kena racun di wan buy gaming mouse/keyboard lol.

Please get new rig first before gaming mouse/keyboard. Ahaha. Damn, also a bit gatal to get new PC for this. Those trailer so nice, and will only get better with future patch/fixing. DX11!
Using Razer Nostromo keypad and Death Adder for this game. A bit limitted button on Nostromo though. My night vision key still @ keyboard (for river city night map).

Hmmm... can consider that. But my mouse button already mapped for weapon, leave only one button unused. Hopefully there will be no configuration that need 5 weapon group.
Read BT novels long time ago, thats what i call hardcore.

sob.. classic novels..so long time ago..
Still remember ..need spare time to re-read those books...
I still remember it was Return to Midkemia pc game who first introduced me to the world of elves, dwarves etc (Raymond E. Feist's Midkemia) then I only read his Riftwar saga novels. Tolkien's Middle Earth came later which inspired RF's novels.
My first Mechwarrior game was MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries then only I played ealier release MW2:Ghost Bear legacy and 31st century Combat. That's how I started to read BT novels.
By watching,playing movies games adaptation then only could force me to read a book lol.

Tonight continue... hope to meet you guys there. And Happy New Year!
Hey guys, I'm sorry I've got no time to drop in with you awesome people anymore. Got other priorities. Was fun playing with you all during my 2 weeks stay with ARMD, really welcoming and great people.

Have fun!
P.S. You guys may tell the ARMD officers to remove me due to inactivity.

My ign was Warfare. And yours? I also don't really know who I talked to when I used team speak. Just simply join and drop most of the times or wait for people to move/ask me to join their group.
Yeah sorry, my mistake...8-man drops...best experience ever with all the military jargon that's being thrown around by the drop lead haha.

lagging or not ? when i play CBT game lagging like hell
I think still the same, which is around 290 to 320ish. I think still playable. At least im still enjoy it currently with others as well. There is lots of improvement and features added since OBT. But if the lag is main concern to you, sorry that it remains, as the server still in US/Canada. Not sure on the europe though. Asia/SEA server not in their consideration in near future, i think.

is it just me or ravens die extremely easily after the patch? i get legged fairly easy now and then its gg for me...
Not piloting raven, not even one. I think i heard someone mentioned this as well... There is fix on the raven hit detection for the last (or last two) patch...
I been in the game since CBT too, brought a founder pack with a hunchback. Spend most of the time piloting a Stalker 3F, Awesome 8Q, Hunchback 4G(F) or one of my Centurions.
Game have have alot of improvement over the past year. Connecting at 300+ ping but can still shot and register damage accurately with no lag.

Yes they got implement state rewind recently. I'm having tremendous fun in my Jenners, my first light mech (actually waas my first non-trial mech but sold it then stick to my centurions,catapults,cataphracts,atlases,jagermechs,highlanders)...no need lag shield or ECM to register highest damage and kills.
I run a Cataphract, Catapult K2, Catapult C4 and a Cicada.
Haven't been playing much since Closed Beta but wouldn't mind a few games.
Been pugging these few weeks with my colleagues, silent play. No adding any friends yet. haha, you still playing frequently?

Yup, ballistic is fun again after HSR. Currently working on my Blackjacks, BJ1, 1DC, BJ3. They are fast replacing hunchback as my favorite medium mechs.
The BJ1 run with AC/20 and 2 Mlas as pure fire support for brawlers. 1DC is a mini dakka platform with 2 AC2 7ton of ammo(500+ shots) and 6 Slas, usually work as turret or LRMboat escort. great at driving brawlers insane with the constant pingpingpingpingpingpingpingpingping and make they slip up against friendly brawler. BJ3 is experimenting with 1ERPPC and 4 Mlas for a little poptarding and precision hole poking.
include lyn id for some of the ign, to not confuse. Update again soon... Seems like most of the player disappeared.. like pcminc, petpet, cheaterz, etc. sadding...
Yeah, back then aiming was so tricky especially with lag... i put AC20 and 3x SRM6 into a few teammates' backs by accident hahaha
The Olympics idea is good. Can't wait to try again. So many close matches, these two the top! Ahaha Ya, the lag was crazy, wonder how we can survice that until the recent patch which... eliminate all lag... Waaarggh!
my BJ3 with ERPPC is not working out so well. switch to stock 2LLas and 2Mlas. Lost 2 point of damage but improve heat management to keep up DPS.
Nice, btw, everytime forgot to add into friend list, just click launch whenever i login. haha Tonight will remind myself. Normally play at night daily?

Okay, I'm totally newbie, i'm not sure what IGN you guys talking about.
But I just register directly to https://mwomercs.com/signup download the client.. and I started playing Trial MECH!
I played Mechwarrior 2 and Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries..
but never played 3...
Anyway, I like small/lightweight mech, something fast and small.
But Before I spend real money on getting a new Mech, weapons and etc... What is your advice? Any input?
IGN is just in-game name, which you provided -> TheRedPanties Just use trial mech first. Please note that the first 25 matches you will earn more each match, to get your first mech fast, then the c-bills earned after that, ehem, will be much lesser.
Just try first, i just got my Raven for training. Expensive like hell after upgrade (double heatsink etc).

The Cataphract CTF-4X is the best trial mech right now. Trial mechs will rotate every month. You will have to grind thru your first 25 matches to earn your cadet bonus, you should end up with atleast 7mil c-bill after 25 matches. Your cadet bonus will end and you will gain normal c-bill rate on 26th match onward. 7mil should allow you to buy a light mech and upgrade it abit, or an Atlas with no upgrade.
Light cannot survive without speed. So, most people will install the biggest XL engine they can fit in their chassis. To free up weight, Endo Steel is a must then Ferro Fibrous if you can spare the slots.
Most people will recommend the Raven 3L and 4X, due their ability to use ECM and amazing speed. But I feel beginner light pilot should go for the Jenner F or K, they have better armour and comes with jump jets for great mobility. Ballistic weapon are too hard to use by light mechs away, it very hard to aim when you are going over 100+kph. This is a good starter build for Jenner K, while you save up 5mil cbill to upgrade to XL 300 engine. JR7-K
Nice, btw, everytime forgot to add into friend list, just click launch whenever i login. haha Tonight will remind myself. Normally play at night daily?
I play almost daily if I can squeeze in the time. Usually login around 11pm or midnight, and play for 2 to 3 hours.

you guys play with mic and formation or teamwork? i uninstalled it because i always with pub and they all die one by one
When I play in a lance, we usually use Teamspeak3, either the NA commstar server or the NGNG server. As for 'formation', probably not as ideal as you would imagine a lance to be. We do try to keep out lancemates pretty close though.

Ya... bad news for MWO. War Thunder is good. You can get a try.
What troubles me is that I've heard that in WT, its possible you can go up against ME-262s although you are still a noob in a prop plane.
Admittedly, in MWO you can also be a noob in a standard load out mech going up against a some tweaked out mech with DHS and Endo-Steel...
I got no kaki playing WT though...but I'll probably give it a shot since I'm a WW2 buff with some interest and knowledge in the hardware used during the war.

I'm sure you will in love with War Thunder (Oh my, this is MWO thread! ) Just join the teamspeak channel mentioned by shreaker, there are lots of kaki there, War Thunder or MWO, no problem.
Yesterday MWO server down/intermittent connection issue. Not sure how is it now, should be ok, i missed my Yen-Lo-Wang...

I gave it a try. I find it weird. On one hand, it seems natural to fly using a joystick/gamepad but very hard to aim. On the other hand, much easier to aim with mouse but damn hard to fly (or at least it doesn't feel natural)...especially outside of arcade mode.

I see... Im not sure on flight game, only played freelancer before, thus no comment abt War Thunder, personally feel like good for newbie on the control side, didnt use joystick, or gamepad for that. Just using K/B and mouse. Recently just grind for more cbill in MWO for phoenix package preparation.
Hi guys, been playing this as well for the past few months until the latest patch sometime in october 2013 which caused the game to go black screen after launch until now. Totally unplayable. Done both re install and repair tool but to no avail to date. Any bright ideas?

I was having the problem last few weeks, but after deployed with latest patch on 17th Dec, and "cold" boot my PC, everything back to normal. LOL
Is this still grindy? Last time I was forced to resort the afk farm
Honestly I never felt the game was "grindy". But I suppose some people would if they want to collect everything and max out every mech... in which case, yes.

IT IS GRINDY! Havent get my Atlas, Orion, Jagermech packages, running low in cbill, haha! BTW, there really are better games out there, if not for MechWarrior/Battletech fans, i think there will be little to no player in the game.
Played a lot of Battletech games, Mechwarrior 3, Mechwarrior 3: Pirates Moon, Mechcommander 1, Mechcommander 2 and I found out this game last year. Sadly after the long wait there is no server around Asia, I even e-mailed the developer and they replied there will be no server in Asia in the near future.

The game is horrible anyway. Why bother?
Mechwarrior 4 and Mech Commander 1 & 2 are free to download and play these days, might as well play those.

actually there is not much effect on the high ping issue. There are many Malaysia players stick on this game. New and old. =) Just give it a try, if you wish to. Now got sales and event all around.

It depends, the only bad thing is no campaign for me. I just play this as counter strike mech style. 15 mins each round max, good for playing

Yeah, usually ping >260. probably around 300 at peak hours. But still ok to play.
Just a note... I notice I can only play this game early morning until 8am or so... not sure but maybe streamyx is blocking something? If not, I will get the black screen issue when joining battle.

No campaign isn't the only issue with the game.
The problem lies on its aggressive business model to drive sales of microtrasactions while endless "founder" packs being sold. Not to mention, it is a very hostile game for free players.
If they expect me to pay up $30 just for a mech or force me to grind for one like a second job. no thanks. I'll still to mech warrior 4.

True... not friendly with noobs, endless founder packs. Just play casually for me, luckily no interest on other games yet. So fine for me.
yeah, thats why i just say that its fine for me, not for all. No forcing ppl to spend money. Just spend to get stuff quickly.
Putting gameplay content behind a long and painful grinding wall is forcing people to pay up. You are deliberately making the experience painful so that people will pay money for content.
hello hello! been playing alone for a year now. love the atlas ddc short version! anyone wanna drop at night?
Whats your ign? They are Malaysia ppl playing daily. Only can play from 1am onwards. Update: My friend facing the black screen error after loading map, can play at friend's house using penangfon broadband service, seems like really streamyx problem. Can add me as friend: paladinowp
wah 1am onwards. sleep liao lor. ingame name is ragecat also.
currently playing the ddc and raven-3l. looking for lance to backstab on the ddc always fun insta popping reds from the back
Friend invite sent. Ahhh.... not sure my blackscreen issue will stay until when... There are other ppl you can add. In case you want to try group play. =)
Jialat dy, like big trouble, unless i move to unifi, think only solve the problem, now using VPN to play, mostly 400ping and above. zzz But still can play, so fine.

i persevered with crashing repair tool and now it works.
although sometimes it goes to black screen when i selected to exit match, and occasional hang during exit of game
What connection you are using, just interest to know. Im using streamyx 1mbps and encounter black screen playing during day time. Have to use VPN to play the game until midnight after 1am. If occasional hang, maybe try reinstall the client again?
today I tried playing mwo around 1 a.m. was able to play 2 battles, then off to bed.
Ah... sorry to not add you up, i think i forget, been away from game last weekend, yeah. For me, my case is cant play at all at normal hour, not until after 1am midnight, so... will use VPN for normal day hour gaming, then turn off VPN after 1am for smoother gameplay.
Else you may try rebooting modem to get better IP, heard it works, but i lazy rebooting modem. "Check the assigned IP if you're on Streamyx, the most problematic IP for me is the XX.75.XX.XX ones. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't but the XX.112.XX.XX always work."
The new rewards system comes with a number of new rewards specially designed for role warfare. With Rewards 2.0 all rewards were re-balanced in order to be economical. Many rewards are based on a system measuring engagement/disengagement with enemy players.
Engagement/Disengagement Rules:
Dealing or receiving damage makes you engaged. Depending on sight, distance and time since the last damage was dealt, timers work to see if you are still actively in combat or disengaged.
The following rewards are new or follow a different system now:
Scouting:
Be the first to spot a target. Do not engage.
Flanking:
Move behind an enemy Mech without being targeted by it and without being engaged. Deal damage to the enemy Mech from behind (out of sight). Reward has a cool-down of 20 seconds.
Kill Most Damage:
Compared to all other players, deal the most damage to a target. The target dies.
Killing Blow:
Deal the killing shot to a target.
Solo Kill:
Achieve both "Kill Most Damage" and "Killing Blow" for the same target.
Capture:
Being inside of a base while the base re-aligns.
Brawler:
Get a "Solo Kill" in between 0 and 450 meters distance to the target. Be in a medium or heavy 'Mech.
Lance Formation:
All players of one lance are in a distance of 140 meters to each other. The whole lance is engaged. Reward occurs every 15 seconds if not interrupted.
Protected Light:
Be in a light 'Mech. Stay close to a 'Mech that is at least 2 weight classes higher. Both are engaged. Reward occurs every 8 seconds.
Protected Medium:
Be in a medium 'Mech. Stay close to a 'Mech that is at least 2 weight classes higher. Both are engaged. Reward occurs every 8 seconds.
Protect Proximity:
Staying in a radius of 150 meters to a damaged friendly 'Mech (critical damage). Be engaged. Reward occurs every 10 seconds if not interrupted.
TAG Damage:
TAG a target. Damage is dealt to that target while target is still TAGed. Reward is multiplied by the damage dealt in points. Reward is only shown on HUD once finished or interrupted (total number rewarded). Reward is only given if the target is tagged for at least 2 seconds. Reward is only given if the target takes at least 5 damage. The reward has a cooldown of 2 seconds. This timer resets to 2 seconds with every point of damage dealt. Once the timer reaches 0 all the accumulated reward is given to the player/shown on HUD. The reward is finished when: Tag is removed from the target. The target dies.
TAG Kill:
The user is tagging the target. The target gets destroyed WHILE being TAGed.
Hit and Run:
A hit and run “Score” is generated based off an engagement. Every point of damage dealt counts for 1 point of score. Every point of damage taken counts for -2 points of score. If score is greater than 10, you are awarded with a hit and run award. If the total damage taken during the engagement is greater than 15 the score is zeroed and no award is given.
First Capture:
Player gets the capture collector reward for a previously uncaptured collector. Can only occur once per collector per match. Does not apply to starting bases that are already captured.
Stealth TAG
Player TAGs a target. Player stays out of the line of sight of any enemy. Player is rewarded every 6 seconds.
Hmmm... after playing for a few days, not sure the exp affect much, maybe when play a new mech will notice the difference, you got group yet Malayo? We have setup a group if you interested. All Malaysia and Singapore ppl, mostly Malaysian. Got around 14/15 ppl around.
not yet but doubt will help in a group since I rarely play.

We use teamspeak, but for now, we seldom use, mostly just team up and go to die, you can add me paladinowp. We formed a group, there is another group if you are interested. There is more in facebook group, Singapore and Malaysia players. Ah... maybe we just add each other first, then start from there.
why not use voice in steam chat instead ? easier to invite ppl to group for group chat
Steamchat seems like a good idea, but not sure if everyone have steam here, I tried 2 player chatting, can have more than two right? Sounds like stupid question. Haha

You may try to play a round or two to test it out, 300ms is ok for me. Not very hardcore player here, just enjoy the fun.
KNS, i thought only 1mbps kena, so far i got 3 friends kena already, all with 1mbps cant play. When you start getting this error? You can try to play after 1am, my case is like that, after 1am can play. Its like MWO is blocked dunno by what new rules created by Streamyx. Ppl with UNIFI no problem with MWO.
Im using VPN to play now. Connect to US server. Current workaround plan.
Now to make sure your problem. Confirm cant play at daytime? If so, try to play after 1am.

Quick gameplay with mech stomping, pew pew to each other, cool graphics.
Yeah, got my victor, they mentioned may extend the event to longer period. Well, the challenge was hard on me, play like hell.
its isnt hard for me, it all comes down to your strategem and style of engagement
like some ppl get more points when they're in teams some folks get more points in solo pug
some folks get more points in lrms some folks get more points in gauss
i was running solo pug with guass timber or guass jager rack up half of the point in 3 hours :Y
per match is 15 minutes average time in a match is 10 minutes 1 hour 4 to 6 matchs (7 8matchs if fast) 3 hours = 24 matchs with 35% chances of racking a point

Anyone having any issues with ping and connection? I've had issues ever since they moved servers to Toronto. I can barely get a game. Using Streamyx and if possible I don't wanna change my ISP. I've tried Cyberghost, while it allows me to traceroute their servers, whenever I try to log in it says a network error has occured. Any help would be appreciated folks.
Of the players we have, most are on Unifi. We have a trio on Streamyx and like you they frequently have connection issues and when they can connect rubber banding is the norm for them. (As a result they don't play very often) One more has unstable Unifi in his area and uses Maxis when he can't connect via Unifi. (But still prefers Unifi when it can connect - which is most of the time.)

Bro, i am using streamyx before, cant play MWO with streamyx (add. info, im on 1mbps package). Able to login to client, but after loading will be blank/black screen, only can play after 1am till morning, last year i kena at genting (march 2014) and ipoh (august 2014), i think they doing something fishy on some port blocking or whatever networking security rules and stuff.
Now i using unifi, no prob playing MWO. For Ipoh rig which is still using unifi, i using paid VPN service for the sake to play MWO. Dam, RM2xx for a year, cant remember the exact amount, you can check on the website = Boleh VPN, monthly fees is like RM30. You can request a day of trial for free to test it out.
If dont wish to pay, you can try softether with VPN gate to connect to other VPN to play. Need to choose VPN server yourself, depends your luck, you may find a low ping server with stable connection. Choose USA/Canada mostly. Ping can reach as high as 400++, still playable as long as the connection is stable, in terms of stable ping, wont go jump up and down from time to time.
The best is still go for unifi. Or other ISP if possible.
Bro, i am using streamyx before, cant play MWO with streamyx (add. info, im on 1mbps package). Able to login to client, but after loading will be blank/black screen, only can play after 1am till morning, last year i kena at genting (march 2014) and ipoh (august 2014), i think they doing something fishy on some port blocking or whatever networking security rules and stuff.
Now i using unifi, no prob playing MWO. For Ipoh rig which is still using unifi, i using paid VPN service for the sake to play MWO.

Yeah, its true, i think, cuz i didnt try. hahaha. yeah i just paid RM260 for one year subscription of VPN for this MWO game. zzz. Do hope you can switch to other telco, streamyx is really not good now(for MWO), like unifi, you can have peace of mind while enjoying much faster speed.
Else, you may have to try the softether VPN stuff, depends on luck, you may find a good server, then enjoy your game, its free, just a bit troublesome to find good server.

hey guys, i just reinstall this game after played early beta long ago
but the problem is, online match loading like forever loading icon loop, which i can see theres no freeze/hang.
tried test map, was fine
why is that? finding in google very blurry one, cant understand
Mine sharing which broadband are you using? There is known problem if you playing this using streamyx. Looks like what you describe is exactly what I encountered few months ago when I'm using streamyx. I have changed to unifi so far working fine.

What i think is streamyx problem, you can try vpn see if it solve your problem. Like the one i mentioned above, with openvpn + softether, the only free workaround when i using streamyx, or you can use paid vpn (i use bolehvpn for MWO needs when in streamyx).

#Region Servers * Singapore Server probably 100ms ping of Aussie players * France / German Border for EU server - * Hoping to have them both drop on the patch.. July 21st... Oceanic may slip to first patch in August * Matchmaker for public queue will have option to select other servers to increase the pool of player they can be matched against.
Yeah, streamyx ppl kena, not sure after go to oceanic, there will have this problem or not, but the player base is what im worried about, are they ready for that or should they wait for the steam launch, i think they mentioned somewhere in twitter or what, if i want to join back NA server will there be any problem? I cant remember the answer.

The server will be breakdown into a list with checkbox, you select which server you want to play in, can select just 1 server or more or all server. Match maker will try to put you in a match with lowest ping when possible, else it will put you in the next available match after a set waiting time.
Was it CW match? Population is low in that mode. PUG no problem for me, previously use Streamyx now upgraded to Unifi.
Streamyx sometime will lag so bad, I get into free camera mode.
Any match also kena, pug match or CW. Cant play at all, workaround is using VPN, upgraded to Unifi as well, since then no problem at all.
Still using streamyx at hometown, still got issue, sometimes loaded but lag like hell. Use paid service bolehvpn just for this game. zzz Need to have peace of mind, lazy to use free VPN which you have to choose server to have stable connection and acceptable ping.
Subscribed for one year... but at least i can play MWO. haha

Ayam gonna bump this thread because Oceanic servers are up for MWO since the last patch, and Malaysians get a ping < 100 depending on ISP.
Awesomesauce!
Yeah... gonna test it tonight, already heard some friends here get 12ms in ping. Crazy, less than 50ms will be enough for me, dont be so greedy, LOL. Test it later tonight.
