All decals are unlocks, not oneshots.

Thank you ! . That is great to know.

.. and to continue with that, is it possible to design (and use) a custom decal?

Very short question: If I logged in and post here WHY say the game "check the net connection"?! Game gone ******?!

I mean I have connection for SURE. So who coded some sh!t into the game again? More and more glitches appear lately and the MWO fix-it tool worth a pile of stenching ooze - mean not helps at all...

EDIT

With unstable WiFi it works. With stable cable connection not. Have nothing else to say as it speaks for itself...
Thanks for this technological marvell! Never seen such thing in my life since the C-64 era...

No custom decals, sorry. I think some units submitted decals to PGI and they added them to the game after reviewing, but that's it.

Thank, that is what I thought ... and you confirmed it.
Now how about the faction and profile avatar/logo/pic I haven't found a place to change that .. and for that matter how do I affiliate myself with the Wolf ... for example you show as 'The Warden' .. but you also have a generic profile pick ...

[Aidan Crenshaw]

TheCaptainJZ's title and badge are from his Warden Pack. You can choose these in your home screen ingame. the "avatar" resembles the faction you have pledged loyalty to. This is done in the faction play screen.

Thank you Aiden ... I figured out the Faction pledge .. leaves the Avatar/Profile Pic issue .. all I get is this


I can't figure out how to change that image

.. and it shows my role as "Freelancer' ... can that be updated as well?

That’s not the game, that’s your network connection. The login server and the forum server are here, and you don’t need much of a connection to function here. The game servers themselves are elsewhere and they rely on ping speed and other factors. It’s entirely possible to have a good path/ping to one and a lousy path/ping to the other, and that’s not on PGI’s end.

You didn't pledge loyalty yet, but you took the side of Wolf in the current conflict. You have to pledge loyalty under Faction Reputation in the Faction Play tab.

I see .. and I found where you are pointing at, but I can't seem to find a place to 'pledge my allegiance' ... silly newbie

[Aidan Crenshaw]

It can be tricky at first. Sadly, I can't give you a screenshot runthrough rn. Maybe some other helpful soul can.

• Faction Details
  
• Select Side / Innersphere or Clan Details
  
• View Factions
  
• Select Faction (scroll) / Faction Details (at bottom)

Same route to break Loyalty, ie to go merc (unit) or freelancer

... and another pesky newbie question is there a suggestion thread/box? or an informal way to contact PGI ?

Look under the Command Chair for the 2021 threads. But don't expect a response from PGI. They haven't asked for any new targeted feedback for a while.
The Cauldron is effectively running the current balance of the game, to the extent permitted or possible. You might seek them out depending on the nature of your suggestion.

That is pretty much the answer that I expected, thank you for answering it anyway ... I will try your suggestions JZ

Questions ... questions ... questions ... o I have plenty
Does the GXP / XP have any impact on the game play? ... not talking about the SP ... got that one figured out

[Melder_]

YES

Thanks ... could you elaborate a little please?

[Aidan Crenshaw]

Well, you buy SP with XP or GXP and CBills. That's about it. You can also transfer XP to GXP for MC, but that's not worthwhile 99% of all cases.
