I get it, you don't give a **** about your art anymore PGI, the only thing you were actually good at.

Decals need to be able to be turned off, because I don't need to see a bunch of **** **** / *** / and smile faces on these mechs.

As far as I'm concerned this is the moment where PGI jumped the shark.

This **** needs an off switch. Agreed, +1

[Zomfear]

Yes we need a off switch. I feel the decals is just one more smoke screen to blind us from the train wreck.

[Blind Baku]

Yes, please, off switch for "See other players decals" <Y/N>.

is this the same we had when they introduced warhorns? I mean this game seems to be in a good state when you get upset over some little textures you can't see beyond 50m...

you should for sure have an option to turn it off.

This damn decals need an off switch. Girls, Women, and Kids play this game too.
It also ruins the art style.

I agree, we need an off switch. Art is one of the BEST things about this game, and decals are already killing it for me.

I originally thought decals would be mildly related to the game, related to mechwarrior, battletech, war, machines, guns, etc.... Not Kissy Lips or Smiley Faces.

I don't know the right terminology, but these art-style killing decals are only exacerbated by how the decals don't properly adjust with lighting, shaders, etc... They should be MUCH more subtle than they are.

I've also never been one to side with all the lorewarriors, but these decals only make me feel less immersed in the Battletech universe.

[Aesthetech]

I agree. This just destroys the art style, gritty feeling, and in universe feeling of the game. While I have no problem with others doing it I have no desire to see amorphous smile faces plastered over the top of a mech that makes the head/cockpit, shoulders, and torso almost completely indistinguishable from each other--not because I can't tell where the parts are, but because the textures just look bad overlayed like that. See xero's post above.

Yuck.

I agree with Sader in that the player should have the option to turn off the decal. People are going to pervert the decals and it makes the game seem childish with the smiley faces. If i wanted to play a childish game I would play Call of Duty......

Is there anything you people don't whine about?

Battletech is a childish game. It is 80s macho fantasy of big stompy robots and if you read some novels you'd know that mechwarriors painted their mechs in hilarious ways.

And for all the dickbutts, you can report them. PGI even updated the CoC for this. So no way your little children get to see something funny when they play a game where they learn to shoot and kill other people...

How to win a war vs soldiers like sader: put decals on your tanks, some can't stand the psychological warfare of that kind.


honestly I just smell a specific max tier metagamer crew wanting to take them off to not get issues with precise aim the decals may throw off.
