I haven't played a whole lot, but I've been....ambivalent about the experience. There just doesn't feel like much difference between piloting a Jenner and a Hunchback, other than moar dakka on the HBK (and slower). Maps need to be bigger, combat scenarios need to be more than just S&D.

I enjoyed it, until this update with the grind needed to get the cheapest 'mech.

Let me know if you manage to get a refund. I want one too right now.
I have. Or rather, they've approved it an it's being processed by their payment solution. Just send a message to support@mwomercs.com that includes your transaction number and a brief message explaining why you'd like a refund. They were very polite and prompt.

Once the game is officially out, I'll consider supporting them again -- hopefully by then they'll have some of my top issues balanced out a bit better.

I'm pursuing a refund as well.

I don't see why everyone is wanting refunds, yes the 45 game grind for cheapest mech in the game by far is horrendous, but this might be only for this update where the economy is set to its lowest level.

The next update might put it back to normal, before this update the economy was set to extremely high ( which made the game really enjoyable ). If the economy stays like this though ( i will wait a maximum of 2 patches ) then i will refund.

Simple, in my case. It's because I'm unwilling to pay money for the game this is turning into.

For me, the economy is not the only factor, it just happens to be the most recent. I imagine they'll adjust it to something less extreme in the future (or maybe not), but the overall direction the game is taking is not giving me much confidence.

Like I told them in my request, I'm still interested. I'll still be following the game. If some of the major concerns I had are corrected or otherwise nullified, I'll be glad to send some money their way. The base gameplay is a lot of fun considering the stage of development.

As a final word to this post, I'll say this: they are being very generous in offering/allowing refunds at all. I know that, and believe me, I consider that a very solid point in their favor.

... I just realised there was a "feedback" option under support tickets.

Seems like a better way of giving suggestions without diving into the mess of the forums, but we'll see.

If the next update puts it back to normal, it will likely be in large part due to user feedback - and voting with your feet and your money is the ultimate feedback.

Why couldn't they just settle for a Mercenaries remake with functional multiplayer? I'd hash out a cool 60 bucks for that.
And that is what I do not get. This seems to be a game trying to get the buzzwords 'Free-to-play MMO' and 'No pay to win' in there. It just seems to be a cheap way of cashing in on fans. It pisses me off, and because of that I have little incentive to play.

So you say it is 'Free to Play' and not 'Pay to Win' and then call it a cash in?

And I have played it, Kingfisher1112. While the idea of Mercenaries appeals to me excellently, this is just so... Good. Apart from glaring omissions (Like non-animated shadows for now) I have faith in it.

And now that this is coming out, chances are that they will make more MW games.

Yeah, payouts seem fine to me. Just remember what you are seeing is an infant game; there are tons of improvements that you could suggest.

Got my refund. :D

Got to give them that at least, refunding the money for the Founders package without a fuss. Some might call it premature... the way I see it is that I still have plenty of time to rebuy the Founders package if the grind becomes less ridiculous at some point in the future. You know... when I don't have to grind for hours at a disadvantage just to get a scout mech. Maybe I'm just getting old, but no way in hell does that appeal to me.

Also I won't pick the Founder's Catapult if I ever rebuy.
