That's great news, must have missed that on the beta forums!

PG apparently does listen to the criticism from the beta players as the open beta has been postponed for various reasons: Official Response to Community Concerns - OCT 12/2012

Reinstalling this now. Hopefully I can get it running smooth

Wasson_ · 10-13-2012, 02:35 PM

it definitely needed to be postponed.

Ghostbear · 10-13-2012, 03:07 PM

I think you are overestimating the time they are postponing it. Also why should they postpone it? It's still beta. The weird progressive lag bug is fixed. At it's current state it is a solid, fun mech game. When did beta start meaning demo?

Spectre-7 · 10-13-2012, 03:12 PM

Agreed. I've been in loads of open betas in worse condition than this. I've also generally found that going open tends to accelerate development, partially I think from the increased pressure a developer feels from presenting to a wider audience.

Ghostbear · 10-29-2012, 06:26 PM

Open beta has officially begun as of today. So if you want to play MWO, just head over to their website.

jpublic · 10-29-2012, 11:01 PM

Be prepared to wait, they're pushing them out in waves.

Ghostbear · 10-30-2012, 11:24 AM

This is an awesome fan trailer for MWO.

Pale Ale · 10-30-2012, 11:44 AM

I totally didn't forget this was happening!

Ok that is a lie. I watched the cheesy training video and experiencing the interminably slow download now.

J Arcane · 10-30-2012, 11:50 AM

I've been registered for months, so all I had to do was download it. Haven't fired it up yet, but will sometime this week.

Dahzer the Cosmic Fool · 10-30-2012, 12:59 PM

I demand sacrifices for my mech, many and bloody!

Pale Ale · 10-30-2012, 02:51 PM

Hmmh I'm not gonna admit I'm confused, but I am sure as hell implying it.

I killed a Catapult!!! I scored the only kill on my team Q_Q

and that was the high point of like 4 games

Panthera · 10-30-2012, 02:59 PM

Going to update and play some tonight, I think.

IIntrude · 10-31-2012, 07:36 PM

Haven't seen many Coggers online playing. Who's all playing. I am IIntrude in game.

Ghostbear · 10-31-2012, 07:52 PM

We played for about 4 hours last night, and just about every night for the last month.

I recommend this beginner's guide from the Penny Arcade Report.

Actually that link kinda sucks. I have known about weight classes and load out for....damn I'm old. But nothing is really describing the nitty little twists of the game. Like exp? Why do I have none of it? Actually I'm fairly sure it's the the trail vs owned mech devide, but it's not something I'm being told. Which leads to buying the mech, should you by the first one you can afford OR wait for one you would be good with? Why do faction keep getting talked about, are they even enabled? Should I even put the effort in if stats will wiped anyway?

If you answered even one of those question you would be doing better than their own frigging website.

Ghostbear · 10-31-2012, 09:23 PM

Trial mechs do not earn XP.
Buy whatever mech you want.
Factions are not implemented yet.
Stats will not be wiped.

Dahzer the Cosmic Fool · 11-01-2012, 10:07 AM

Pale Ale they did have all those and a bunch more questions answered on the website but when open beta hit they kinda wiped the forums and all those questions went with it

as ghost said Trail mechs give no xp or cbills

for the mech to buy, try the trail mech cuz i believe they have 1 in each ton class, and see what you like, i personally like being a light and being real fast, and being a heavy, those are my 2 fav personally (have some others tho), but grab what you think you would like, if it turns out you dont fiddle get some cbill and sell to get another

factions like ghost said again not in yet

and stats had there final wipe to begin open beta so no more wipes play and play hard

ive played with ghost a few times not recently tho, if you can get ground with him you will be doing good

This is not true. You still earn C-Bills in a trial mech. It's how you save up without RMT.
