Fil5000 posted:The best part here is how you've overestimated how well their funding drive has gone. They haven't managed 3%. It's ridiculous how badly its gone. They're scraping in at 2.2% at the moment and again, it's worth pointing out that this is for the initial goal rather than the whole thing. It's the flop that PGI deserves.

https://www.transversegame.com/news/article?which=J73XE4MP Looks like Transverse's funding is shutting down early, for reasons known only to everyone. Edit: some whales on one of the three (!) Transverse subreddits are calling this "an unexpected result" lol Pattonesque fucked around with this message at 19:13 on Oct 2, 2014 |

So I guess now they have to look for rich dumb people who like the concept of Star Citizen and are totally unaware of Transverse's previous funding "hiccup." This whole thing has just been amazing. I feel like it needs to show up in a business textbook somewhere.

Good explanation. I'm sure this will come up tonight, because Russ is hosting MWO Townhall #2 this evening. It will be interesting to see if this means that Paul will return to create his next magnum opus (Ghost Heat 2: Clan Boogaloo) or if he'll be shuffled into some other role for MWO development.

gently caress Black Knights. Grasshoppers rule. They're probably only voting in favour of the BK because of MW4, and will get the gimpy looking original instead. edit: Eh, they'd probably both be bad in game. One is all energy/limited mobility, the other will probably be like 1.25 times as tall as an atlas and will be inferiour to the cataphracts in most ways.

Grasshopper will have jump jets at least.  They both would have low mounted weapons though, right? Because stompy robots with arms are unable to raise their arms, which makes you wonder, why do they have arms?

They're both energy boats, both DOA in MWO.

So they turned on slow posting in the townhall chat because they thought that people were spamming it. Nope, it was actually hundreds of different people bitching about ghost heat. So now we have ghost posting.

Russ is being very forthcoming, which is great, but at the same time, the sheer  horror of what he's saying the and the competence level of the management/team doesn't really leave me with a lot of hope for the future.

I think he said like the H is the AC/10 guy and the G is the 20. But that each will also get more good generic quirks as well. Fake Edit: It also sounds like IGP was just the loving worst.

IGP is awful, beyond that, it was over 3 solid hours of him talking. The first half was a lot of saying how they hosed various things up, a lot involving IGP being literally the worst. A metric ton of (awesome) stuff about the upcoming quirk system. They are making a highlight reel that will be available.

Fil5000 posted:Yeah, I get that it's just words right now but for so long the only words we've had have been "uhhhhh, heat scale is better than heat capacity/cooling rate changes because i say it is" and "your on an island there". I know they're putting the change in behaviour down to the IGP split but I'm far more willing to believe that the enormous shitfit their customer base threw when they announced NotEliteHonest was a serious kick in the dick that's actually got them working on stuff to stop all those delicious wallets running away. If we hit December and they've delivered gently caress all then I'll be quite prepared to pull a g1mmel and make sure I can never play the game again, though. ok, if we are getting the band back together I'll go download it and we can go get banned for being more than 10/0 kdr.
