If we get Physics or at least a mockup attempt who heavily punish knocking with proper dmg to the mechs involved.


Just saying

You're on an island

Seriously, there's more demand for CW than there is for knockdowns and collision damage. Give us the ability to die for our faction of choice. Then let us kill ourselves running into each other.

Collision.... such an old school demand. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy, and old .

You'd rather have collisions in the game we have now vs getting community warfare (IE, a reason to fight all these matches)?

I am making an assumption, but mostly based off of what I've seen here on the forums and heard in TS. CW can't come fast enough. Collisions would be nice, but CW is the most wanted feature by most.

oh well.... today I went with a centurion totally stock, a BT classic. ac10/2ml/lrm10 and 200standard engine.
Wow. I was feeling esthatic, and I was quite seeing the hexagones while I was walking/running.

Absolutely, MWO needs to go towards Battletech: slow down mechs/heat scale/ammo explosion/DFA ecc.

It is great to be "old"

[Scratx]

We all stand on our own little islands. It's one freaking huge archipelago! HELP ME, I NEED A ROWBOAT!!!


Now, seriously, collisions are nice to have sometime... probably... but only after CW.

Even after a reason to fight the matches, it's still a grind.

But now, a fun grind...

Lets just say from my latest experiences in Battletech, the best way to beat a Clan mech is to knock it over.

Even better if you have two mechs kick the same leg at the same time, completely crippling it, and then laugh and poke at it as it tries to fight you while holding itself up on one arm.

If PGI wanted to completely wash away all of the positive effects that their recent increase in communication has garnered for them I'm pretty sure they could do it by delaying CW.

Definitely an island

If they could come up with a good solution to collision/knockdown that added risk to ramming opposing mechs while at the same time prevented griefing and abuse of the feature ... fine with me ... but given all of the other features that I personally consider a much higher priority ... I would say that for me collisions and knockdowns should probably be addressed sometime in 2016.

Islands can have large populations. Manhattan is an Island, yes? England?

That said, CW first.

Why?


Because I really don't care to have to listen to the frothing mouthed anti-PGI conspiracists, screaming about "PGI lying to us again" while they grab their pitchforks and torches.

They really need a pitchfork and torch cockpit item.

It should be a customer appreciation item.

I've never put a single item in my cockpit, but if they gave me a torch and pitchfork cockpit item I would totally appreciate it

Lotta clan mechs lack hands...which is a +2 I think to yer piloting check to stand? So a +1 with their pilots on average being better compared to the IS...knocking them over is definitely a valid strategy.

That's an optional rule. In most BT games having no hands is not a penalty to standing.

I know bishop let's consider this a little humorously and friendly reminder of lack of physics
