So much for PAUs being unique and class specific?

Have to wonder if this spells the end of the PAUs as they were talked about a year ago? If the PAUs just become a MECH, why has it taken this long? TR had so many great ideas from the devs and each great idea has been turned into blah after a few months. If they had implemented PAUs, the ability to control your own unit of NPCs and a few epic battles for each this game could have been so much better. Instead each change like this becomes another chapter in the book on how not to build an MMO.

LOL, it's time to move on and catch the Earthrise train, dude
TR = Dead
Yeah I know. I just felt like pointing out that PAUs have been one big lie for a year now. Just more proof that TR is being run into the ground and nothing has changed except the names.
In the last month they have lost Tom Potter, GM ROFL and now Critters. Sounds like some of them see the writing on the wall. TR live or die should serve as a warning to the rest of the MMO industry. WHen you release 1/4 of a game you should not expect to earn a profit.
TR could be a lot better but...
It's a good game, could be great.
Earthrise will be the next sci-fi sucess, I hope so.
I hope Earthrise is a success, because TR certainly is not.
TR could have been great, had the devs created the content they talked about around the time of release or since. Instead each time they create it, it has been a watered down version of the original idea and to me that shows they either are not giving a damn about how good it really is or they do not have the resources to pull it off. Either way my money is never going back there because the one thing I was going to come back for has been changed. PAU is now a Mech and went from original and potentially a come back for item and is now something I had in Planetside 4 or 5 years ago.
We actually discussed this about three weeks ago.

My prediction was that they would make the PAUs all the same out of laziness. And here we are...
"We get a bit about using prestige and the crafting system to make an uber coffee cup, but not one word about what happened to the months of art development on the previous 8 PAU archetypes."
Its pretty clear to me what happened here. TR is dead. Any new "content" they add now is just zombie twitching.
The History of the Order of The Golden Shields
Besides can you believe the devs if they say you will be able to sue prestige to customize your PAU? SO far the devs have rarely stuck with their original plan and in the end seem dishonest. I know things change during the course, but this is not even close to the plan. This smacks of OMG get them something soon.
Fixed that for you.
TR never had an art department, even after launch. From launch to now what new artwork has been added? A handful of models for a few boss mobs, like six new weapons, and...
Yup.
