Deadmon Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Not super interested in this one but I got beta access. I probably wont even download it because of how it looks like its being set up (IE Pay to win, instead of Pay for impatience)If you guys end up giving it good reviews I may sample it at least.

Tsume Xiao Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I got the Beta Access but haven't downloaded it yet because I have been busy. Is it worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had, you'd know that there really isn't a way to "pay to win." As far as I can tell, you'll be able to buy mechs with real money. Having access to more mechs does not make you skilled, and the Mechwarrior series is a fundamentally just a game of skill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmon Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Ive played plenty of mechwarrior, though I dont claim to be a huge fan. And your assessment of no "pay to win" isnt exactly on point. Especially since previous mechwarriors didnt exactly work on this platform with free and pay setups.Pay To Win - generally a free to play game with in-store options purchased with only real life $ that have improved stats / abilities. While these items are improved a skilled free player can still overcome them, its just added bonuses you must purchase with real $.Pay to Progress - A free to play game that all items are available to both free and paying players. Paying players just have the added bonus of not having to work for their unlocks or equipment, which if acquired freely could take substantial time.A free player could very well still win in competition, but games that set are set up to give paying players an edge are "pay to win"Look at PS2, a free to play game that is more "pay to progress" since the only $ only implants are resource and xp gains. Everything else is available to free players.Or... as you yourself said...Man, I was afraid that MWO was going to go this way.But seriously, Ffff MWO if they want to pull that kind of bullshit, I'll keep playing MW Living Legends, the Crysis mod.

George Reisman Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I was really referring to the who Founders program being so god damn expensive. I still do not feel the game will be pay to win, just pay to unlock some mech cause you're a whiny bitch and don't want to work for it.

BlackSergal Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Quite a few of us got in, though the "World of Tanks with Mechs" was a common negative opinion. If Valaska doesn't hook you up with a key, I might have a spare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazorFox Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 When do they start selling that crazy Steel Batallion-y desktop controller thing? That is literally the dopest shit I have ever seen in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valaska Svendsen Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Open Beta released pushed for stability reasons. MWO will not be selling a Steel Batallion style controller, and Steel Batallion mechs have more toggles than controls for MWO. If you want a more battletech esque version which will work, you can go with a SaiTek flight stick and throttle control, although throttle and joystick support is limited at this juncture and won't be up to par with say MW2/MW4's joystick inputs which were both perfected to an art.

Valaska Svendsen Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Wow, buying it if it actually has good support for MWO, most joysticks don't...

Deadmon Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 pft, Id prefer to use that for BF3 / PS2 aircraft. Minimap / continent map in middle FTW.If you want fancy buttons:http://www.razerzone...talker-ultimatecan bind the 10 mini LED screens to diff macros + a multi touch trackpad screen that can double as vital info / minimap ect.extra key bindings on screen optional.

Mikromancer Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 been playing mwo all weekend, they still need more balance, but so far it doesnt feel pay2win, I've jusy bought a hunchie on free currency and I've been taking down atlases and awesomes that have been paid for with real money (you can tell by the snazzie paint jobs)definately worth a peek if you get the chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valaska Svendsen Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 The founders mechs are the same as the versions you can buy, just a paint job. Most people put their support in for the game early, if you did so with the top pack you got all 4 founders mechs and 80 dollars on in game currency.

George Reisman Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Necroing this thread real quick if a moderator would be so kind. Does anyone here play MechWarrior Online at all? The developers dumped the publisher and PGI has been doing some fairly good work in the last few months, making good progress on features promised from launch. Community warfare (group warfare) has been added in the latest patch and though it's still in early beta, it seems like good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
