I really don't understand this type of comment.

How can PGI force players to use tactics? Have big red flashing text that says "Not that way dumbass, you're gonna die" or "Take cover idiot!"?

Or they could implement an autopilot that will do everything for them and you can just kick back and watch the action.. kinda like having computer v computer battles in chess.


Yeah, that's exactly what I want. You're a genius...... notworthy

A good SimHQ thread on TS3 setup:
http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3137414.html

Quick setup instructions:

1. If you have a mic, then Settings->Options->Capture set you PTT key and test



2. Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks->Add Bookmark and add the SimHQ or MWO Beta TS3 server info and your nickname


3. Disable the TS3 overlay Settings->PlugIns uncheck TS3 Overlay... I keep it disabled as it can crash some games.

4. Bookmarks -> Join the server, look in the list of channels for the "Mercenary Corporations" channel and look for a "SimHQ" temporary subchannel to that. If one or more of us is playing the SimHQ channel will exist, if not anyone of us can create it and it will exist as long as one of us is there.

If you don't have a mic, you will be able to chat via text on the SimHQ channel and you will hear us talking via voice.

I'm shutting down for the night, but hope to be on tomorrow.
For the record, we ran the C3 app, which worked well but required searching for the channel, as invites didn't quite work. SimHQ is set up on there, just bookmark for later. I don't think that's NDA related. Worked well in-game. Later switched to TS which somehow altered my audio from speakers to headset and a few other wonkiness. Good games tonight, but some tough opponents.

Me a couple of friends decided to give out C3 a shot to test it out and give feedback. We were plenty surprised. If you're in group it automatically created a private channel and automatically invited everyone. The only problem was it took ages to do it on one of our comps. The other two were pretty quick. Sound quality was pretty good too. Definite thumbs up for it and I can see it'll work wonders for puggers that can't be bothered with TS.

I just received an e-mail saying "Piranha Games recently sent you a Closed Beta invitation via email. You’re in!! We noticed you haven’t yet logged in and downloaded the client. Login now at mwomercs.com, check your profile page and get downloading! Access is instant.". I didn't remember seeing this e-mail however, but I was excited anyway so I hurried to the website and logged in, checked my profile and the Closed Beta Registration tab and it still says Pending... Broken hearted right now haha

Got another e-mail saying they made a mistake sending that e-mail out.... but they gave me beta access anyway, but I believe it's only temporary access to help me "forgive them for the mistake" as they put it in the e-mail.... heheh forgiven as far as I'm concerned lol

Looks like you guys that got the beta email by error get to keep your beta:

From the MechWarrior Online Facebook page :

'You may have recently received an email stating that you have received beta key and have not yet activated it. Apologies for this mistake, to make up for it, all who have received this email and did not have beta access previously will now be granted beta access! Please log onto www.mwomercs.com for your updated profile information.
After this error is fixed we will be closing our doors again.

We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!'



So!

See you guys on the beta TS server in the SimHQ channel, we need to fill out a couple lances!

Ah, they had some email screwup last week where some dev emailed the "come try out the new patch" email to everyone who signed up for the beta instead of the mail list for those already in the closed beta, and so in a pretty nice gesture IMHO I think they sent beta invites to everyone who got that email (anyone who had signed up I think), so your beta invite might have been sitting in your spam folder.

That's actually a good point for anyone reading this thread who doesn't have closed beta access yet, if you signed up more than a week ago then login to MWO and check your beta access, odds are high that you got let in during that situation.
