WHEN is this ridiculous bug going to get fixed? Powering down and back up doesn't fix it... so you have to hope that your teammates are going to tell you that they notice you without a marker, instead of just shooting you as you walk by them.

actually its gotten worse.. I have friends that have had it in past months ..I never had it until last patch and have had it 3 times since then and I did a fresh reinstall on this last patch

Priority List as is:

Make Cockpit Items to sell for money > make hero mechs to make money > figure out the next big pre-order take away > fix bugs > make new maps > get community warfare going

Priority List as should be:

Get community warfare going > fix bugs > make new maps > make hero mechs to get money > make cockpit items to get money > figure out the next big pre-order takeaway




One of the many downfalls that come with the F2P business model is that it turned around priorities. In the old days it was deliver a game worth to spend money on and then collect that money from the customers. With F2P it goes: get money, get more money, get even more money, if your game isn't dead by now take a fraction of that money to make a game worth what customers spent on it and then make even more money.

I took off a teammates leg once. I thought he was the enemy protected by ecm.

Sadly this is very true,one reason I wanted subscription based (even though I know Game Devs know they can Nickel and Dime people for more money with f2p over a standard monthly subscript)
is the steady monthly money would be there ,so there wouldn't be an incentive to monetize everything like has been done with this game and they could concentrate on content without that urge .

At least you didn't alpha a light through his back armor. I can't even BEGIN to tell you how embarrassed I was. Shoulda guessed there was a reason he wasn't moving.

Funny thing, I actually would have spend FAR more money on a subscription at this point than I have so far with the F2P model. Been playing for about 2 years now, at $20 bucks a month they'd have me for close to $500 by this points. I think I've actually spent maybe $200? My Phoenix package, a couple of Heroes, and a handful of Mechbays.

Been awhile since I played one ,but I think most Subs are around $15 maybe there are some $20 ones I don't know. Point I was making though as everyone is paying that monthly due, it Forces them to have Regularly updated Content otherwise the " *hit hits the fan" with the player base and they expect monthly Maps,Worlds and other content on a monthly basis

I killed you on accident earlier because of this bug. Never saw you go past me. No friendly marker over your mech and no marker on the mini map either. I apologized to you then, and I'm apologizing to you again now. Sorry about that.

Had a BJ go off on me once out of nowhere [that sounds... interesting], I was pissed until another member of my team let me know there was a bug.

This happened to me personally once, a few weeks ago on Caustic. 10 seconds out of spawn I notice an unmarked Centurion, that obviously couldn't have made it across the map in that amount of time.

This past weekend I actually had to kill someone on my team who was attacking a friendly due to the lack of friendly triangle. It seems that the entire team could see the triangle, except the one who mistook him for the enemy.

TK's for everyone!

Mmmm, magical red doritos.

[Budor]

The best version of the bug is when everything seems ok but you see no identifier on just 1-2 friendlies. I shot everything off a friendly stalker due to this last week

Yeh, I almost murdered a friendly Firestarter this week... was about to fire at his legs again when it dawned on me that FS doesn't have ECM and that the range was close enough that an intermittent target box should appear. I apologized profusely (and thankfully he was cool about it).

[Ace Selin]

I mentioned it do a dev who was playing at the time his remark was simply "its hard mode"


(Oh & Theres a player going around TKing people under the guise of no blue triangle so watch it.)

If people apologize after accidentally shooting me, im ok with it (stuff happens) but when they move on after realising m on their team, as if nothing, that's different.

I have had issues with no triangles on both enemy and friendly Mechs especially BJ's and Jag.'s for some reason.Also target backetts have appeared,very occasionally,on friendlies! bear

[amenophis]

I have the same thing starting with this patch. Been killed by teammates twice now and shot at a few more times.

[skorpionet]

This is the worst bug in the game .... and it is incredible that has been here for many months. you can't know what are enemies and what are friends, you can't know team movements.... it sucks
