It must, the Comstar Primus is a very high level VIP, one of the most powerful people in the Galaxy. He woudn't mess around with statements like that unless he meant it

There really needs to be a way to do this in game. Perhaps a way to report a player, give a brief description of what we saw plus take an automagic screenshot or better yet a way to send a replay of the battle to support.

Trying to go out of the game, find the screenshot then open up my email program just to send a message isn't very intuitive. Automate the System. It's what Jerome Blake would do.

FOR PEOPLE HAVING TROUBLE WITH SCREENSHOTS NOT WORKING

Run the game in full screen windows mode and print screen button will capture a screen shot you can then paste into MS Paint.

Devs if you are reading this though, please fix this bug. I don't know why prnt scrn doesn't work in full screen mode.

One day...

Nope to small...like 3 times that things size...at least! ....Like a Godzilla sized mech that looms over the tallest structures on any map

But that would be a cool mech to have in game....and more viable then the actual urban mech.

Yes, it is. They'll be here eventually, if nothing of a higher priority intrudes.

Unless, of course, some huge event happened which required lots and lots of different new mech types showing up all at once. Even then, it would be ok to handle.

Unless, of course, those lots and lots of new mechs also had an entirely new set of weapons that had to be integrated and balanced against what all is already here.

But that's about as unlikely as the old Star League suddenly showing back up after all this time....

Look, we all know the canon here. We know what sort of invasion is coming.

I can't help but feel a little troll face-ish and ask, "You promise?"

But seriously, I don't understand why people want to steal from such friendly people. PGI and IGP are doing a pretty good thing here and they deserve all the support they can get.

EW!

The Urbie? Fine.

That?

NO!

Sorry....my love of mech asthetics knee-jerk cringes at that mech and anything like it. That's why a good portion of the old Star League mechs aren't around anymore.

Anyway, please don't mind me. Carry on.

It looks like R2D2 with legs

[GhostBear64]

Forget the Urbie , give them a Mackie !!

Dear Comstar,

do you intend you enable enhanced communications allowing us to send reports of such bandit mercenaries directly from the battlefield? For now our general communications channel is a viable alternative, but more direct communication has its benefits.

[ElLocoMarko]

Should I report zombie players? They never move, do not show as disconnected...

If someone crashes out, it shows them as "disconnected" correct?

A pessimist would say that they are just launching, minimizing and watching youtubes.
An optimist would claim a game bug, but I don't know of any that cause a connected fully immobilized player.

What causes zombies?

I looked at your name and though...wait...that's not me...and then it wasn't. That is all.

I dropped with a premade and every guy was like "what's avatar doing in the enemy team?" Even I was "why is my name on the right side". lol.

MechWarriors,

As you're all well aware, there have been bots, hacking and attempts to defraud the ComStar Bills monetary systems through multiple channels. ComStar cannot, and will not let this happen and have ordered the Com Guards to eliminate any so called ‘mercenaries’ daring to do so. Their BattleMechs will be melted down and forged into UrbanMechs.

So your response is to make them more powerful than they can possibly imagine?

I would encourage people to please give some people the benefit-of-the-doubt when issuing reports. Reporting a teamkiller, a deliberate overheater, a griefer, or a spammer is great and to ne highly encouraged... but often there's no malicious intent behind someone who's Mech appears but the pilot gives no input at all, or if they get disconnected before the Match Timer gets to zero. That happened to me a few times recently, and I kept wondering to myself if anyone thought I was farming.

To help illustrate the importance of "benefit of the doubt" and then only reporting pilots performing ToS violations "beyond a reasonable doubt", consider the following scenarios:

• A light to medium mech runs straight into a large group of enemies, and gets killed quickly
  
• Mech stays on base for a couple of minutes, not appearing to move, and the disconnects.
  
• A mech gets 3 kills (second overall for kill count), does a team kill, kills one more mech to end the match, and ends up with the most kills & XP.

Is the first pilot committing suicide by tactic?
Is the second one a farmer via disconnect?
Is the third one trying to get the highest number of kills?

If you said yes to any of the above questions and would have reported that pilot to support, then you are not using "benefit of the doubt" and would have ended up reporting me - A legit pilot, just like the countless others that also play the game.

Want to know the true stories behind each scenario? Click the Spoiler:

Spoiler

1. I did this my first few matches as a n00b light/scout pilot
2. I got the black screen bug, complained to team members for a few minutes, then attempted to resolve it using ALT+TAB or ALT+ENTER, but ended up crashing to desktop.
3. I didn't even realized that I TK'd until the end of the match - It was sheer coincidence where the TK likely happened during a heated last stand for the enemy base.

Wow, that post certainly brought the Urbie Fan club out.

I look forward to seeing what all the fuss is about. So far, to me it looks like an underpowered gun turret.

I'm all about reporting these folks... but there's something WRONG with working with Myndo Waterly.... just saying...

The reason so many people want it is because of how ridiculous it is. I admit to kind of wanting one too...
