That's good advice.
In fact, one of the reasons I got so fed up with PGI was because of how when MW:LL was shut down, even though they "said" it had nothing to do with them, whenever people made threads talking about how much of a joke MWLL was they would stay, but the threads where people linked posts of the MWLL devs on the forums talking about what happened they would get removed pretty quickly for no reason.
As I said, it still has no effect on my decision to play the game personally, I simply didn't enjoy it, and they don't exactly have a decent track record with prior things have done, even barring DNF.
Is a complete shame that every thread on internet about Living Legends or Online ends on this way.
What if we stop fighting each other? Yes, MW:LL was good, and MW:O is shitty at this moment. And nothing more to say.
The only thing that we can do now is wish that PGI continues at least trying to fix the game, and if we have luck, see someday MW5.

Irrational hope?

Then tell what to do.

stop supporting a terrible game first off, stop believing that PGI will fix it when we have no logical reason to believe that they ever will and throwing money at them just will just let them continue doing a shit job.
This game must die and we must move the fuck on.
This is also coming from someone who bought a founders package.
I dunno what all the hate's about. My brief stint with the game was very much enjoyable.

Knockdowns were awesome. I made a thread during closed beta trying to get them tuned or removed because games were becoming ridiculous bumper cars. All I got was flak from yellow founders for not being good at the game so I started abusing it. Every battle I'd rush down enemies while my friends in Fastbacks (Hunchbacks with 8 small lasers and the fastest engine) alpha'd the helpless enemies as they stood up. Never won so many games.
Knockdowns were finally removed later on when a goon drop kept a dev/mod permanently down on a live stream :v:
They removed knockdowns? Now I don't want to come back to this game. I enjoyed playing as a light mech and using my jets to stomp on an atlas' face

Link to this video please?
It sounds glorious.
Sadly I don't actually have a video, I just heard it as a secondhand account.

And then the industry game will say "See? Nobody wants Mechwarrior", and we will lose it like sadly has happened with some games. We have to continue there, pressing the developers.
Of course I don´t give more money, they already have enough. Also, why I should stop believing that they will fix it, if they continue fixing bugs and improving the gameplay?

It was removed because it was buggy. Sometimes, you even fell down when you hit another mech at 15mph. And extremely annoying when you were in the middle of a group, and you get trapped on a loop falling all the time until someone died. But yeah, I miss it. I hope they re-add it on October, as they fixed a big part of the netcode.

Yeah no
I've been down this drainpipe before
The worst that will happen is the License will sit dormant in limbo until if and when it's time comes around again.

The game is actually fairly good recently. It has a few balance quirks here and there, but its a bunch of fun. The balance is 1000x better than the pile of shit it was back in closed beta

I´m not going to wait X years until someone tries to do a MW game [B]AGAIN[/B], when I can do something for improve the actual one, reporting bugs or suggesting a feature.
You can´t negate the progress made from the close beta since August. Many annoying bugs like the "lagshield" that had the lights mechs, the streaks being OP, crashes to the desktop, heavy FPS drop/lag or some hitboxes of the mechs has been fixed.
