Anyone had that starting position on terra?



seriously, change that.

You can't move, you can't see why you can't move and you're the noob ***** everyone laughs at.

Yes it's hilarious to see an Atlas tryin to stomp those containers away but guys... think of the children (aka new players)...

i had that happen to me... its not that hard to figure out, but it is a WTF moment in map design.

[A Man In A Can]

That's not a problem in map design. Those storehouses or whatever they are can stay. This issue is clearly a problem of deployment placement on said map when there is plenty of space by both bases to spread out.

Happened the first time i brought an Atlas to Terra .... Downright embarrassed when another player pointed out that I had to back up first before going forward.

[Kell Commander]

There is also a problem where you start and backing up won't actually free your mech. Spawning stuck sucks a lot.

No way! The map is so small, it's near impossible to move that 1 spawnpoint!

lol yup that happend to me the other night I was like wtf? Then looked down, saw the boxes and did a mental facepalm...

[Samhainn]

Yep, and what about not being able to step onto the metal platform/bridge into the center of the volcano?
Getting stuck there, not able to follow teammates into the fight.

Bug is fixed and will be in for next patch. Issue = when the mech doesn't have enough room to spawn, the collision capsule defaults to a human scale, flat top cylinder, which makes it almost impossible to navigate our levels.

Sorry for the annoyance this has caused! It was my bad, I wasn't paying attention to where the spawns were when I was adding some last minute art. Sloppy.

Kevin,

You make me want to cry tears of joy! Why you ask? Because you were man enough to come here and explain the issue and fix it! You are my BAMF of the day my man! Hope you rub off on other employees

You may not believe this... but this is the kind of transparency we've been asking for from PGI, just tell us that there's a problem, what the problem was, and what you've done to fix it.

Yes some people won't care, but to other's, something as simple as this little blurb you just wrote, speaks volumes!

@Kevin

I am sincerely impressed. This is the absolutely right way to react to a problem. Thumbs up for you. Man of the day indeed.

If we ever get terrain/objects that can be destroyed I will have some serious scores to settle with these buildings. And some cars in River City need to get blown up as well.

[Helsbane]

I'm not sure what to think. A PGI employee actually responded in a positive manner, taking responsibility for something and letting us know it was fixed. Feels like a dream...

Kevin, thank you for for this refreshing turn of events. Now if only the rest of the staff will learn from your example, it would go a long way toward rebuilding the community's faith in the company.

PGI, hire more Kevins.

I don't login lightly these days but I had to give this man a like. He's a man for telling us stuff like it is.

PGI MORE OF THIS!

For what it's worth, this map was probably being made before the slope conditions thing came in *shrugs* not that it isn't stupid, spawns should be a place where you can move in any direction for at least a few steps...

People make mistakes it happens. We want PGI to communicate with us calling them dangerously incompetent is helping nothing.

What so dangerous about it? Are you forgetting Mechwarrior is not real right?

[627]

Thank you very much Kevin, very kind to inform us. And thanks for the extra details on the map, even if it bugs around a bit

Outstanding Kevin! This is the kind of response we have been pleading for from PGI on issues. I hope this sets a new standard for PGI and the way it communicates with its player base.
