LazDude2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Anyone else itching to play it as much as I am? First Mechwarrior game in years, and it's gonna be F2P! Anyway, yeah. Mechwarrior online, want to play? Don't care? Never heard of it? Tell me! I care. mwomercs.com has all the info.
Forum Administrators sct Posted June 6, 2012 Forum Administrators Posted June 6, 2012 It looks pretty awesome. I am excited for it.
LazDude2012 Posted June 6, 2012 Author Posted June 6, 2012 I wish I had a beta key, but my laptop doesn't exactly have the best specs. Maybe someday, open beta will come... :/
Kingfisher1112 Posted June 6, 2012 Posted June 6, 2012 I hope they don't balls it up. If they don't, best F2P thing since Runescape.
LazDude2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Author Posted June 7, 2012 Could be! If they do screw it up horribly, there's always MW:LL.
Brunswick Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Free To Play is always equal to 'terrible nickle-and-diming pay-to-win bullshit' to me. I'm hopeful but I'm not too excited. I'll wait a few months after it drops to check it out.

I'm hopeful but I'm not too excited. I'll wait a few months after it drops to check it out. Not always. Although I don't play it much anymore I think LoL has the F2P model down perfectly. All the micro transaction stuff is all cosmetic (and new heroes, but that can be earned through playing as well!)
aldrigviking Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 I have beta access, but sadly for you, I'm bound by a NDA, so I can't tell you much, except that it's really really good, and it's are still only in the beta stage ;)
LazDude2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 I wish I could tell you that I'm in the beta, but there's a restriction on that. I wish I could tell you that you're not exactly missing that much, because it's a beta, and not quite finished, but there's a restriction on that too. I *really* wish I could tell you that it'll require a beast of a machine for its beautiful graphics, but that's already listed on their site. Also, thread necro much?
stringburka Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 I'm going to play it when it comes out, unless I already am playing in the Beta (if I am, I'm not allowed to tell you you know ;D;D;D) But going on what's publicly known, it seems to get awesome. Free To Play is always equal to 'terrible nickle-and-diming pay-to-win bullshit' to me. I'm hopeful but I'm not too excited. I'll wait a few months after it drops to check it out. This is true to some extent with all games that you can buy stuff in (and a lot of other games too, just that you have to pay your PC manufacturer rather than the game company); I think it's not that interesting if there's "pay to win" or not (because there always is), but rather to what degree. Some games manage to stay clear of the worst of the P2W curse, for example League of Legends, others are pure P2W. MWO seems to be decent enough in this respect in that money will only let you advance faster, not allow you to have any special stuff. From what I've heard there will be quite effective mechs that aren't that expensive, so with a little luck, it won't get the true curse of P2W.
okamikk Posted September 20, 2012 Posted September 20, 2012 this game looks awesome, looking forward to playing it...
