Phrosphor posted:Tried to fit in a game over my lunch break and ended up against another 'run away and only engage with lrms' player. It took 40 minutes before we actually engaged properly. I had to quit because I ran out of time and had to go back to work. Having him refuse to fight made me very frustrated. He was going to win the game anyway, so well done him, but it was the most boring experience. Funnily enough LRMs on jump-capable mechs are a pretty hard counter to running a bunch of lights like I did my last few matches. I can see why it would be frustrating though and how they might require some looking-over in coming patches if they get too strong.

Make the Focus/Fury bar a name entry field alongside when you name your commander and company. "Pilots, use the MAXIMUM MANEUVER" "Sure boss  ""Don't make me rename it to Focus Group Fury."

Needs to be called "SQUAWK" when used with Tetatae pilots. Also, Phrosphor put in some good effort posting that works as a newbie MP guide. Could throw that in the OP so people have some guidance. https://community.battletechgame.com/forums/threads/9377 Also: https://gfycat.com/LateMerryBrahmancow

The more I play with the new Evasion system and the more used to it I get, the less I like it. It feels like Sensor Lock is even more vital now than it was before. Plus, it's essentially worthless to Sensor Lock a Mech that moves after your Locking Mech. So you end up in a cycle of reserves that feels kind of... degenerative? I do think it's an improvement over the old system where Evasive Move was simply broken, but there's something not quite right with it still.

Plus, it's essentially worthless to Sensor Lock a Mech that moves after your Locking Mech. So you end up in a cycle of reserves that feels kind of... degenerative? I think it's an improvement that makes over engined units like the QKD viable. As for the Sensor Lock thing, the obvious option is could also cap your future movement mods by two in addition to removing two current Pips. This still lets you lock a unit before it moves without losing effectiveness, as currently if you Lock a Light with yours and it simply jumps for max Evasion and fires, it's like why even Lock? Like you noted, it leads to reserve wars and a rush to Phase 1. With that change, it won't be any different to units who get locked after movement, but provide a 4 Pip maximum available to the target yet to move. For most heavier units, this won't change much as they won't get to 5 or 6 unless they are running Evasive Move and are already speedy/jumpy builds. The change might make Lights too vulnerable, but also would give you a greater reason to move the mediums ASAP to rebuild their Pips lost from the previous round before the big guys fire. They're now free to move and shoot their Light Locker's target knowing any future Locks against them will degrade them all the same. They would have less reason to reserve and that push to apply immediate damage to the target might start being a good idea earlier in the game compared to where it is now. Of course, this still doesn't completely negate regaining Pips by moving at the right moment, but encouraging movement with minimal reserving is what will help fight reserve wars. I don't know if capping the Locked units Pips is the right answer, but it's the most obvious. Maybe it comes out to just that reserving doesn't have enough downsides if the engagement isn't in full heat?

I think that's just a symptom of evasive move pilot abililty letting you get far too many pips on slower mechs and even on a single action instead of a sprint. If you don't use evasive move pilots you don't get ridiculous dodges even on combat turns on anything but mechs that are really fast and give up a lot of other things for that speed.

Might be better if instead of reducing max, it negated x amount of pips. So if you've got a pip of unstead, the first pip of evasive is ignored.

You may be thinking of the guy who wrote the novel who I think started making some poo poo statements well after the game and book were out. Devs are cool. I brought up the joke initially because it's a game where weaponry includes turbo acid murder gas canister launchers made by the Loyalists, and the "Small" weapons category includes handheld radiation weapons capable of gooifying a person made by the Spacers. Civilians are worth 50 credits. Blowing up a trimmed hedge or flat of shipping crates is worth 100. Section Z fucked around with this message at 12:57 on Aug 28, 2017 |

I didn't see it myself, but another goon was chatting a while ago about how he's all fine and nice when he posts here, but spends a bunch of time on some right wing offsite crying about SA being full of sjws. I understood him to mean the Brigador game dev, but perhaps I got the wrong end of the stick. Anyway i pledged for this waaay back in the otiginal KS, finally dl'd the beta client only to discover my poor old computer aint up to the requirements and can't even load a match. I never would have thought that this would be the game to finally defeat it. communism bitch fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Aug 28, 2017 |

Also contains a video showing off a new terrain type (martian) with jumpable and destructable buildings. Which are neat. And a more indepth explanation of how crits got overhauled (they reroll until they hit a thing they can crit instead of fizzling if the first roll is an empty or already destroyed location).
