And then your mech MIGHT not be "in match" anymore.

I could not build a mech.

I am, however, mostly finished my my prototype iron man suit.

Use your XP to add Mech skills. Find friends to play with, get a drink or relieve yourself of one.

I invited friends over and had a Lord Of The Rings marathon.

Run one of the three other instant 1 press readied mechs you own? I wish the delay was longer, then I'd see a few less DDCs and 3Ls...

[Hellen Wheels]

Why not exit the match, and then take a different mech into a different match and try something different?

Just a thought...Cheers!

Not if they have more than one DDC or 3L. Makes me wonder if it is a ploy by PGI, although technically I could simply buy and fit out another Cat C1 identical to the one I have, then I wouldn't have to wait and it wouldn't require me to pay real money to do.

How did you get a second mech??! I am still waiting for the match to end so I can get my C-Bill reward.

I like this thread because it humorously points out a flaw with the current design of the end of round stats.

Live a full, productive life.

...seriously, I think it's gonna stay in-match forever.

When I first started playing in closed beta I assumed the delay would be fixed within a month. I mean, something as easy as releasing a mech when a match is over?

Four months later... it's not fixed. It's *worse*.

They don't whip their programmer (singular, that's not a typo) enough...

Why should dying early in a match be rewarded by allowing that 'mech to start another match before the rest of the players on that team?

I do not understand.

Is this some new type of humor I don't understand? I already had trouble with the old humor, so...

I like to spend that time contemplating what went horrible wrong in the last match....

[INSEkT L0GIC]

The trial mechs are conspiring against us! They want to play, too! Don't give in!

I see. I guess I am lucky to not have experienced this problem.

[INSEkT L0GIC]

The issue is it seems to consider the match to be over when the very last person connected leaves the match and won't release your mech while others are still there.

I'd rather it freed up your mech when you exit the match, or when the summary screen pops up, whichever comes later, effectively being end of match for you .

Really? How about play a different one?

[operator0]

The problem with just playing a different mech is that those really expensive modules are on the mech that I just played with. I would rather not drop without my modules.

I suppose those of you who advise others to "Just drop in another mech" have two adv sensor range/base cap/360 targeting/target info gathering modules bought. Not to mention the expensive XL engines that certain mechs share.
