Global Research

**Tomifix** · Feb 28th, 2013, 17:31:16

Not sure if I've missed this in any pervious forum updates, but it seem like all the global research is gone. Why, Oh why? All vehicles gone...

**Belph** · Feb 28th, 2013, 17:40:34

Vehicles sucked, I welcome the change =p

**doctorgore** · Feb 28th, 2013, 17:46:47

Good ridence to vehicles.

**Awikun** · Feb 28th, 2013, 17:52:38

Best change ever.
I hope no side works towards vehicles so there will be no more morons APTing in BS!

**Tomifix** · Feb 28th, 2013, 18:00:34

Yes, happy to get them out of BS. But not happy that we got to do dreads in a different way

Im not at my pc to look but does that include personal mechs like the buyable obsidian that some have paid for?

I could still see global research in the research window, but the vehicles window is empty, which is "interesting" for several reasons:

There's nothing about this content being removed, temporarily or for good, in the patch notes nor anywhere else.
Some of those mechs were preorder bonuses, specifically paid for by users to have access to along with the content they promoted.
The Scout Mech and the PMW Obisidan Edition mech is still available for buying with FunCom points on the account page, but apparently you no longer actually get anything for your money...?

Yes, it does. The vehicle window is now completely empty. No preorder / FunCom Points bought mechs either.

Some Dev needs to clarify this! Are we expected to re-research Global Research again, as we did after the launch of Lost Eden? Or are the mechs bugged? Or are they removed, including ones ppl paid cash for?

**Byste** · Feb 28th, 2013, 19:52:51

It's intentional.

1) Vhab said so when people pointed it out on testlive.
2) I don't see how you could accidentally reset only the vehicle global research and not the RADs xD

I suspect FC didn't reset the RADs because the playerbase would literally riot

**doctorgore** · Feb 28th, 2013, 19:53:02

Refund them with points and keep the trash mechs out of game forever then.

Well I'll be...not enough to riot about since i rarely used it anyway. But I'm don't expect to get rear ended either. So I will gladly exchange the value of my paid for personal mech(s) with equivalant value or amount of IP reset points so i can reset a few pvm toons to pvp. (looking forward to dueling rk2 players!)

Originally FC had all global research back at zero, including the ones that make the LE Huds work. They backed off and only made the mech-related research zero.

Notice though, TL patch notes say global research needs fixing still ... points you put don't post to the totals yet.

I assume Mech's purchased with paid points will work again once they are researched.

As usual, FC's communication skills leave very little to be desired. No mention of this in patch notes, etc. A few of us know about it because we went on testlive, noticed it and bitched about it on a forum thread

FC, wake up! The general population of the game doesn't play on testlive nor frequent the forums much. If you're going to make changes like this, you have to tell the players properly, in a place where they might see it(patch notes might be a good start) and not just assume that everyone reads every thread in every subforum. It's when you guys pull something like this that i wonder about who's running the place. It's basic communication to your player base for goodness sake.

Hey FC,

In addition to updating the AO homepage like we've been telling you for months, you should also update the adverts for AO. They feature mechs which no one can use anymore.

**cybertron** · Mar 1st, 2013, 07:52:42

Along with jetpacks that no longer exist!

They also did back when they just launched LE and noone could

I'm going to grind for APT again, just because I loved killing them with my rocket launcher!

**Ophiuchus** · Mar 1st, 2013, 13:18:01

Bah, vehicles were fun. Get in the one that beat whatever vehicle you were up against, and whip out the launcher for the others.

Necroing this instead of starting a new thread.

I have talked with people on both clan and omni side, and it appears all 3 sides global research is still blank. Surely by now we should be able to see just a tiny bit of progress on some of the lines.

Are no one actually doing global research, or is the xp simply not being added?
