[Ace Selin]

Have not patched this one, what is so wrong with them though ? Curious minds want to know!

[Tordin]

Ha! I knew there would be thread like this. Wondered why there seemed to be just positive/ constructive responses so far. Sure the deckel selection need some tweaking, but there isnt anything broken about it as I can see.

Now, explain, WHY are you disappointed?

Please do explain. If it's a matter of variety, this is just the first run.

[C E Dwyer]

Probably the selection ?

These are no worse than decals in other games, using similar systems.

Smiley faces and Treasure chests just dont seem to fit into the MWO Universe IMO.

The saturation and transparency needs to be adjustable. Otherwise its good. Needs more variety needs number decals 03 etc. Faction decal needs to be loyalty unlocked

I like the OMEGA decal

As the leader of the unit OMEGA mob, I immediately had to apply some of the OMEGA decals, colored in GOLD, on my Clan Ghostbear faction pattern

PS: now I only need a small "m" decal for compleating my units TAG

Somehow we couldn't have the color pink because it would make the mechs look like a joke but we can have these kiddy decals.

Im not a fan.

Isnt there a MARIK FACTION color which looks like PINK ?

PS: And there is also the HEVY METAL hero mech, which is delivered with a pattern in 2 shades of PINK !

I was really hoping faction decals would be loyalty unlocked to. I hope they get it together a bit on this.

A major addition to the game that only took 4 years to get in. Why not make something of it.

Because I needed MC for decals, I just invested 28€ in 6500 MC and bought the Vindicator Mastery Pack and some DECALs :

I dont understand about WHAT you are whining ?

It actually does fit very well in the classic battletech universe, this IP is a super kitschy 80's space opera. Unless you mean that MWO somehow should abandon the BT roots and transition into a more serious setting than previous battletech products, those decals are perfectly fitting.

I never understood the sentiment that battletech is supposed to somehow be an adult or realistic setting, it never was that. Just because you have grown old and perhaps want to justify still hanging on to a franchise designed for teenagers doesn't mean the IP should give up it's identity.

Battletech is and always was over the top, cheesy and lighthearted boy-dream type of setting, that's the whole beauty of it IMHO.

[Lorcryst NySell]

Heh.

Specifically pertaining to the Smiley Faces decals : a long time ago I played the first edition of the MechWarrior RPG, and in the supplement for building mercenary units there was an illustration of a lance of 'Mechs with a frowning smiley face as the unit's icon ... totally canon.

Yes, playing with combat robots on the IntarCatTubez is "srius bidnez" (HA !), but the IP was indeed built to be cheesy, over the top and filled with inside jokes and trite references ... as were most games born in the 1980-1990 era.

Also, it is worth noting that nobody forces you to use them. I know that some of those decals don't do a thing for me, and that I will probably only buy one or two of those, maybe more if I'm in a facetious mood.

As always, vote with your wallet.

Where did you glean any of that information from Two Sentences?


Put words in people mouth much? I said it didn't seem to fit in, glad i got your panties bunched.


This is a Kin to Top hats and Mustaches which are usually implemented when the game is failing. If you ask me, maybe MWO is on it last leg? Maybe they just executed this pretty badly like they always do?

[Mad Strike]

oh boy , theres allways that "disappointmen" thread...........

[Hobbles v]

I for one love the smiley faces
