I was running a 3025 assault lance V assault lance random fight on Megamek, and it lasted so long the game stopped me from playing anymore, it got to turn 35 and just started back over at 1 but without giving me the option to do anything. Would've been faster if it wasn't for lucky/unlucky weapon hits. At one point it was a Titan and a Lumberer verse an Osilord and this was like turn 13 and I figure ok, this should be over soon 2 v1 and all. Decided to Alpha strike with the Titan since it had so many weapons and it had the Lumberer backing it up 1 quick round to end it, instead the Osilord gets a lucky shot to the clean Titan's head killing the pilot and from there the biggest attrition style fight I've ever done was born with the Osi slowly destroying the Lumberer's weapons. By the Last round the Lumberer had 5 points of internal CT 4 RT and his legs and the Osi had 3 points left in his RL a few in the CT and Head. Osi had a Large Laser left and the Lumberer still had 2 Medium Lasers, was kinda pissed that I couldn't see the end of the fight  Still that poo poo took like 3 hours.

So I reinstalled Mech Commander 2 because of this thread, and it bugged in the middle of the Atlas saving mission, everything was going great but one of the mechs seemed to get stuck on the geometry I guess, probably cause I had it jumping around constantly still was very frustrating. The thing that annoys me is that they changed the names of some of the equipment, "Heavy Autocannon" for instance still it's a fun blast from the past.

Even with the Cat out, you guys take too many more PPC shots and this'll be a short campaign.

Polaron posted:Okay, I glanced through the thread, but couldn't find the page with the info on it any more...What is that Blackjack packing? I'm thinking of moving to 0915 and I'd like to be sure I'm not about to be murderized by it at close range. Well, in the last round it fired an AC2 and 3 M lasers, so closing range might be painful.

So, I decided to try out that Neveron game cause of this thread, is anyone playing it, can tell me how to do anything? Supposedly the first quest is bugged and I have no clue what I'm supposed to do armed with only a Jeep.

I wanna see what Comstar is going to field for a behind enemy lines rescue OP, and then see it get dismantled, cause gently caress Space ATnT. A Out of curiosity, will we get the option to revisit Option C at a later point? If so, I feel sorry for Bobbin as his prize went unused (potentially anyway)

A good poster posted:If the Assassin were to hop on top of the level 5 building in hex 1124, would the clump of light woods centered at 1217 still affect line of sight? This would likely cause damage to the building though and collateral was supposed to be minimal to none.

S'all good PtN don't let them get to you, you've been doing a fine job here and in DA2. Haterz gonna hate. Also, let's not forget that while "yes" this is "us" LPing the game together, this is really a vehicle for PtN fluff updates, otherwise we'd just be doing standard BT and not a reimagined version of it. I mean who the hell is reading the updates for Dice rolls, poo poo he could hide all of that and just put out the results and I'd be fine so long as they came with the couple of paragraphs of fluff.

Zaodai posted:Some of us actually do care about the winning and losing aspect of it. If you take away that part of it, you basically remove our aspect of control and any element of surprise or tension from the battle. You reduce it to fan-fiction, no matter how well written it may be. Dude, it's not even real Battletech, for all you know PtN just puts whatever results are most likely to make the most entertaining update out. The thrill of victory and defeat, really? It becomes even less cool when the dude who is doing this for free is getting poo poo for it, just let the man entertain us.

Zaodai posted:Don't let the job hunt get you down, PTN. That's the most important thing. In this economy, you'll probably have some trouble no matter how qualified you are. Just don't take it personally or let it discourage you. It wears on us all after awhile. Best advice out of Zoadai yet  , but seriously, there's like 10 million unemployed/underemployed Americans dude, don't lose heart if you don't get in right away.

We've only killed 2 mechs, at this point the Goonstar won't even make it out of the Lights, might as well just Suicharge Kurita and see what happens if it's at all possible.

PoptartsNinja posted:I take full responsibility. It should've been only 3 days except I had some RL stuff to take care of and couldn't crank the update out in time. S'all good, just quality in this LP is so supremely high that when there's a turn like that it just seems, eh I dunno, I guess I just want it to be my turn already

Fraction Jackson posted:Probably? But there's a lot that led up to this, I think. The custom titles people gave him had to do with the thread mostly, but the reason why they wanted to gently caress with him had little to do with the thread. Yeah but getting someone to rage enough to spend  on your title is a badge of honor, I wore mine for months before the size of it demanded I change it. He managed to make people pay for the privilege like 9 times. An I mean it's an internet LP, nothing at all rides on this, how he took it so seriously is baffling. I honestly thought he was playing up the crazy person angle. On the brightside him quitting means I'm one step closer to playing and that's pretty cool.

Last few scenarios have been pretty slow due to players not getting their loving turns in, used to be an update a day most weeks. Now it's like 1-2 a week at best.

anakha posted:Just curious - in the past missions, where there was player coordination involved, how long was the normal delay between posting an update and the players sending in their orders? Kell Hounds 10 updates 10 days 1 day on average 1/22/11-2/1/11 Hostage Situation 15 updates 46 days 3.1 days on average 02/03/11-03/21/11 Vipers of Somerset 20 updates 25 days 1.2 days on average 03/24/11-04/18/11 Operation Himinbjorg 15 updates 27 days 1.8 days on average 04/21/11-05/19/11 Nadir 10 updates 20 days 2 days on average 05/26/11-06/15/11 House Call 10 updates 50 days 5 days on average 06/22/11-08/13/11 Outfoxed 9 updates 28 days 3.1 days on average 08/23/11-09/20/11 Delaying Action 10 updates 36 days 3.6 days on average 09/24/11-10/30/11 Saving Janos Marik 13 updates 44 days 3.3 days on average 11/04/11-12/17/11 Counting Coup 20 updates 44 days update every 2.2 days on average 12/21/11-02/08/12 Factory Semi-Finals 6 updates 24 days update every 4 days on average 02/16/12-03/11/12 So far this is the second slowest group of players and can potentially be the slowest if this goes on much longer as is.

KnoxZone posted:Weird how it seems to have dropped off a cliff after Nadir, barring the speedy Counting Coup. Counting coup is somewhat skewed in that the last 10 updates I think are all that one guy running away, you take those 10 updates over 10 days off, and it's 10 updates in 34 days, or 3.4 per update.

Felime posted:While we aren't fast, that's not the fairest comparison, as most of those have the end period with only a couple people alive included... No you guys are without a doubt one of the slowest groups. No mechs are dead only 6 turns are in, 24 days have passed, it'll be probably a 12-15 update scenario. At your current speed that would mean something like 70 days.
