AW... Your not compensating for anything are you?

I do have a very short and chubby barrel, if you will. And one of my hands is basically reduced to a claw after many late nights of... well, let's just say I'm not master of my domain.

Now I just need the AC20 model to show up properly on my Cicadas.

OH and also did they change the extended barrel look of the BJs AC20s? That would be a MASSIVE bummer...

That would require some logic. Doesn't fit the minimally viable philosophy.

And why does the camo of the old mech look much better? Is it simply different graphical settings, or did they do something to the skins, too?

I'm wondering this too.

how does a centered gun take logic or sense? most gun barrels are not essentially centered in housings, nor do they need to be. The arm housing could also have an ammo feed, ammo hopper, etc, the gas ports, any number of things.

I just wish the housing itself was not so flat and featureless.

I'm surprised I got it off first considering the general snarkiness exhibited by this community...

I hear your Wang usually gets off first!

Hey, I am totally with you on this. What I meant was game logic, which is something PGI seems to have a very hard time with.

Is that forest colony?
The lighting is better.
The model is cooler.
The mechs legs are deforming to the terrain.

'Progress'.

I sometimes look at the old trailers and teasers and things and wonder what happened. Guys walking up the mech and around the mechbays. Better cockpits with working monitors? Better effects. List goes on.

i don't see why they can't superimpose that entire arm model onto the current "cube" when you have the AC20 equipt

How the new AC/20 looks on my Highlander:



It looks like the old AC/10 while the new AC/10 is even more smaller on Highlanders IIRC.

Oh no, why PGI, WHY?!

Well. It's not the only thing they can't do that seems to be easy. How about a scrollbar in the chat window? A regular software developing company would give this task to a junior, and he'd be done with it in 3 days, tested and all. Yet PGI can go years without a scroll bar in chat. Hell, it took them months to implement backspace-repeat in chat. Yep, for months, you had to press backspace once for every character you wanted to delete.

Just give me the IK's. I would stop griping about the beta looking better if we just got IKs back.

[Shabahh Kerensky]

That just looks lazy as ****! "Standardized look". And they seriously messed with the highlander? The ****?! What goes on through the designer's minds?!

I would certainly like to know why it was removed, as they had it working right? I wasn't here then.

They did. I'm assuming it's some kind of either optimization, or they hadn't rigged all of the newer mechs.

[Rhaythe]

I want to say IK's even enabled when I recorded this video, which is about a year and a half ago. Not horribly long ago.

Dunno.

Will say the shorter, thicker barrel looks much better on the VTR and BJ-1.

Hopefully PPCs are next
