Been playing this game for close on 7 months now through closed beta and into open beta. I have heard quite a few people raging in that time that they are gonna quit, but then they stay :)
From end October to December I was beginning to get pretty annoyed with all the cosmetic changes and lack of bug fixing, but that all changed in December when they released a major bug fix together with new mechs and conquest mode.
Prior to going open beta, the game was pretty much bug free, but then they released it to open beta in late October, one week delayed to beat Hawken and the bugs crept in. These have been fixed now and the community has more than doubled in size from 2000 to 4500 and still growing.
I play this game with my guild TAW, we are an online gaming community of 1900+ international gamers (www.taw.net) playing in 3 divisions NA/EU and OC, its fun to play as a team, use tactics and strategy, follow good loadouts, assign targets and move as a lance.
Team play is very much the province of clan/guilds, sadly not pugs and if you have the misfortune to play in pugs, you are gonna get stomped and whine about losing like all the other losers who don't understand the concept of playing as a team.
If you play this game or are thinking of it, come join us and play as a team.
Although I like the game, I don't like this variant of the hunchback or the catapult variant given away as founders mechs, it seems stupid using the weaker variant as a founders mech, even if it does give something like 20% bonus xp, or credits I think, can't remember which. I wish I had gone with the Elite package rather than the legendary as the Elite seems more value for money.
Spoof attempt at copying Swtor collector's edition (I know), not that I buy CE games, but I would be feeling a bit disappointed if that was all I was getting from a collector's edition.
