The history of the game as told by a fellow player named Chronojam.

stops at oct 2014.. PGI left igp in what? sept of 2014 and slowly has gained ground since then. More concerned with now then 3 years ago.

One of the most amusing parts would be PGI's "Transverse" Project, as mentioned for example in
http://thehyperbolicgamer.com/2014/10/09/something-something-game-news-uber-fail-how-transverse-flopped-and-why-human-resources-will-too/

Also, some background information on why this game has two subreddits: http://www.pcinvasion.com/piranha-shadow-banned-on-reddit-as-transverse-fallout-continues

By all means, if you're interested in MWO go play it. Just think twice before buying anything, as you're giving money to one of the shadiest developers around.

True, allthough the emphasis is on SLOWLY. Falling tree's (yay!) and no further total fckups like 3PV and ghost heat 2015 can be considered a good year for MWO (which is kind of sad...all the wasted potential this title had).

This is all that needs to be said. Looking back 3 years and ignoring the DRASTIC improvements that have been made in the last year is intentionally withholding relevant information just to troll away new players.

The game is getting better and better all the time with most of the significant improvements being made after this timeline ends.

Progress is stumbling along far better then the past few years i give PGI at least that. 3PV sucks donkey sacks so idk why that is even still an argument to hate on PGI.. Ghost heat, i can level with ya here i dont like it but at the same time it stopped alot of the huge energy boaters way back when.

I had wanted MW;O to be far far much more then an arcade robot shooter. But realistically it seems that its all its going to be. Am i hating on MW;O? no, I give constructive criticisms and my concerns. Call me gray knight. im just tired of all the white knights giving this game flying colors when its in need of work and the super salty crowd that just want to outright hate, give nothing to work with to come to common ground, and always beholden to past bullcrap.

It is an argument against PGI because 90% of the player base voted to NOT waste ressources on an unfitting, unwanted feature...
So it's a pretty obvious example how much PGI cares about the community. Your constructive criticisim is nice, but PGI will also continue to not give a damn. They don't give a single ♥♥♥♥, all they care about is $$$ from whale-pockets.

The "significant improvements" metric confusion speaks of must be the falling tree's, some map-overhauls and no further disasters. One of the better years, yeah, but also not much for a whole year of "development".

Never mind a little over a year of updates...

The whales are really out in force because they're upset that people aren't being moderated for being honest about the game for once.

Partly cause I was sold a first person simulator, and they told us that 1PV was a development pillar that they would never break and they said bolded and underlined we'd never have to drop against ppl using 3PV. Better yet when CW was coming in 90 days over and over and they nevber even WORKED on it. AKA the devs lying directly to us. I dont see how that couldnt be viewed as a problem.

Sadly IM a whale. I built my PC for this game and have dropped more than $500 on it.

[Evil^[e-mail]/evil_blade]

That's why I'm glad you're here stating your opinion on an unmoderated forum where you are free to give an honest critique of the game, backed by facts and experience, without having your post arbitrarily deleted for failing to shill.
