Werent Decals suppose to be out already?

[Alan Davion]

Supposedly they were supposed to be coming June/July, but as they were nowhere to be found on the roadmap, one can reasonably assume they've been pushed to August/September.

Or scrapped entirely.

This is true, I was just pointing out the, admittedly, extremely optimistic view that they are still going to be released at some point in the future.

I do believe in the previous town hall they said they were coming in the summer, they just didn't specify when, and when they didn't show up on the May/June/July roadmap, people lost their shite as they are wont to do in this community.

So, logically speaking, PGI bought themselves some time to figure out if the decal system can be worked at all, and if it doesn't get mentioned in the July town hall and/or show up on the August/September/October road map, then we have an excuse to create a full on nuclear forum melt down.

[ScarecrowES]

Decals are a major potential revenue stream for PGI that will take very little investment to update and maintain after implementation. So hellz yeah PGI is still working on them. We'll probably hear more about that in the upcoming Town Hall.

[Jetfire]

It's pronounced Dekal.

[Revis Volek]

Decals are lost tech, I dont expect them any time soon. They are just dangling carrots in front of us trying to get us to keep running for the goals they just omit from existence.

If a colour is worth 1000mc then what a decal 10000mc ?

Weren't they - like pretty much everything else in MWO - supposed to be out last year? Or the year before? Even our road construction moves faster than PGI, and that does mean something

[Ultimax]

I'm guessing supply crates.

[Tennex]

They probably half assed it the first time around with the first several months so they have to spend another several months redoing it

Decals are IN the supply crates!


Who would have thunk it!?!

You mean deckles?

Anyways. Piranha had a semi-working system they were confident of enough to show in action during a previous stream/Town Hall/something. I'm guessing the overall system is largely in place, but the system whereby Piranha can deliver its promise of player-created deckles without a sudden flood of wildly inappropriate nonsense is likely lagging behind.

#impressive, and all that.

Let's face it - would you want to be the guy tasked with ensuring that the millions upon millions of **** pics of every type, color, and variety imaginable are purged from the queue?

They'll get there. Frankly Piranha could probably push a basic deckle system with faction allegiance stuff in the next patch or two, but the monetization part is taking a bit. Here's hoping it's not ridiculous when it finally arrives, and whoever they've got on **** Pic Denial Duty is on the ball.

[Belacose]

With decals we could have sponsors help pay for our race cars mechs!

I seriously doubt user created decals will be in when we get decals. Didnt someone ask about unit decals in a townhall and was given "eventually" as an answer? I think we're getting faction decals along with misc stuff like skulls and hearts. Every decals user created will probably have to be submitted to PGI for approval because some people would just die of shock if someone had a **** on his AS7 crotch.

[Malleus011]

All we want is the ability to do something like this. You know, like every Battlemech pictured since the 1980s.

[Moldur]

I could not care less about decals unless I can buy 2 or 3 and arrange them into the shape of a giant phallic member across my mech.

[Appogee]

Perhaps the decals you've been waiting for will be available in the crates no-one asked for.

I think it's actually a very likely scenario.

Possibly some basic decals "for free" like each faction symbol available to everyone, and then some "rare" or "unique" decals for famous characters from lore, famous mechs, famous units, etc - all monetized through supply crates.

100% promise you that this will be the very first decal you see;
