I am not fan...too many look stupid with placement and color and ruins the overall visuals of the 'Mechs.

[Yellonet]

Given your name I would have thought decals were right up your alley.

This is a slow action, poorly balanced, immersion-less FPS deathmatch game with delusions of ESports Grandeur. If anything NASCAR decals kind of seem to fit the goal, IMO.

If this was actualyl trying to be a "Battletech Game" then I'd probably feel differently.

[Steve Pryde]

Because peoples wanted it.

I love the Jade Falcon decal to put on my mechs.

[ProfessorD]

Because PGI usually does, sooner or 90 days later, give us a Minimally Viable version of the things they say they're going to develop.

So because you don't like the direction the game has gone and given up on your ideals for it your solution is to say screw it lets go [Redacted]? There should be limits on how far we go down the rabbit hole unless we are at the point where we just want to burn it down.

I'm at the point I don't care if it burns or turns.

Russ has clearly shown he intends to [Redacted]. So either you rail futility against the direction Russ is taking it, which he already said our input is meaninglesscor embrace the madness and surf into the sun.

Life's too short for me to waste energy when it's clear the Devs don't care. So I'm choosing the latter option. [Redacted]

Fair enough I can understand that. It just seems weird to waste energy on giving others grief for trying to hold onto a little hope.

Well, that's the price of freedom. Some use it wisely while others ... I hope you get my drift.

The other decal whine threads are not enough to sate the special snowflakes. Must have their very own!

I was just making sure that is where we were at now as I didn't get the memo. Now that I know I can prepare for all out war and destruction of all the things.

Hey now, I thought you didn't want us using that word.

Also, the CM posted 3 days ago that they do care. So they clearly care. I mean they haven't posted anything else regarding our opinions but at least the care is at the "oh hey I went to middle school with you 25 years ago, how are you?" level.

We're in bat country now, gentlemen. The decals are a gross physical salute to the possibilities that F2P brings. Like Battletech and Circus Circus had a baby in the back of a Camero. No choice now but to ride this strange torpedo straight to the end.

putting a happy face decal on your Mech will grant a bonus to the engine rating of plus 5.

No numbers, no letters, I thought Mechs are supposed to be military machine ? there is a system for the military to put markings, those decals are again a real waste.

why the hell this game is called Mechwarrior Online, its Solaris.

Its Solaris and a poor one as there is no crowd and no Duncan Fisher.

well if ever I put decals it will be the game company logo on the upper back and the lips on the lower back.

Lol. After seeing the first pics ... Well, I didn't expect anything and PGi still managed to underwhelm. This is glorious. How can they actually look that bad on Cryengine?

[MischiefSC]

Most mechs in BT had heraldry like this. Both indications of house, unit and often some humor.

Given that mechs are personal property and not military issue gear you're using it is even more likely.

I have no issue with them.

They are afraid if they brought Duncan Fisher in it would take attention away from the trio of Rockstar Devs taking the lead, here.

which technically would be the inappropriate usage, since context does not actually support correct usage.
