While this is not the right thread to discuss this game (maybe Schmatzler can move the posts in a separate thread?), I think it is important to note that MWO had one of the fairest pricing models of the industry. You do *not* have to pay a single cent to be successful in this game. On the contrary, this is NOT a P2W game at all. After all, it doesn’t matter if you buy a Hero or Champion Mech for real money, you still need to be able to play it. And I think that is where the issue is. After all, what “better gear” would that be? You can buy any weapon for ingame currency. It’s not even that you need Premium Time, that only gives you a 30% boost for the money you earn (and experience points as well).
Regarding the argument of “grinding”, well, unlike typical F2P games with their raids in instances MWO is an MMO game where you go solely against other players. And that makes every encounter and every battle unique. You can also try yourself at Faction Play (depending on time of day you may have some waiting times), as it offers three gaming modes of which the Scouting Missions are the most fun.
And balancing is, on the contrary, quite well done: As a Tier 4 player (where tier 5 is the worst) you get into matches with Tier 3-5 players. This makes the battles pretty exciting.
And lastly, MWO is a game that begs for “dropping” in a fixed group, as this is not only the most fun (because talking and swearing and laughing with your makes), but also as coordination in TeamSpeak is a MUST!
Anyway, you seem to have made up your mind not to like this game. Shame, but it can’t be helped. Did you have a look at the BattleTech game that was recently financed through Kickstarter?

[quote=”Bozobub” post=20465]Exactly. MWO is a hot mess of grinding and pain; not fun at all.[/quote]
…unless you play in a fixed group (called clan, you may have heard about it), which is when it becomes fun – like any multi-player game does. MWO is NOT the game to go solo and fight on your own. After you’ve learned that the hard way, you’ll notice that the game is actually fun, despite its flaws.

It is also available as pre-order in MechWarrior: Online, the Free-to-Play online game.

Hi Tyutyu, finally someone gives I-War a go in the Lego world! What software did you use to model the Patcom? Also, I wonder what the red Mech is in the lower pictures. Is it just a thing you made up, or something from BattleTech?
P.S.: Never mind the question, I just hovered the mouse over the picture and saw that it’s a Bushwacker Mech. 😉

The AMD version is called FreeSync and is, as the name suggests, free for anyone to implement. I think it’s a neat feature, but you need the monitor to support it (along with the graphics card), and my two screens are still good for another 5 years at the very least.
