I will repeat what I said a while ago: I'll be happy if we get it before 2018. Christmas would be great. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a early next year release.

AAAAA! Real Muenster posted:I'm the one who was posting about it on this page and I'm not panicking, just posting my opinion on a gay dying comedy forum and people seem to be reacting really strongly and/or misinterpreting what I am saying It's the third or fourth time someone has posted a calm but not-roses-and-sunshine opinion, and every time it gets responded to as if people are preaching the end of the world. Just ignore them, there is no point in trying to explain a dissenting opinion, it will bring out "SO YOU THINK THIS IS A SCAM, HUH?!" people regardless of how minor a thing you point out.

It's too bad there are enough scams and/or projects that are just not able to deliver- Kickstarter has been a great platform for companies like HBS who consistently deliver a high quality result in a reasonable timeframe; but there are a lot of people who are leery of kickstarter because of the shitters.

Doesn't matter. The good ones end up funded. By good ones I mean people with experience doing what they say they will, a business plan, realistic goals etc. I've yet to see one I thought was cool not get funded. If anything there are way more pie in the sky ones that get it and flop.

Alchenar posted:This is a lot of panicking over 'they aren't confident they can get the networking good to go right now'.  You're not wrong, Q_res, I may be over-reacting but I know these forums well enough that I felt a disclaimer was necessary. I feel like my response to your post explained my stance and wasnt overly reactionary. I'm going to drop it because it doesnt add anything to conversation at this point.

So beta chat, during the Red Alert 3 beta it was still using Red Alert 2 voices, early art that sometimes explicitly contradicted the fiction (eg nuclear power plants when nuclear anything didn't exist anymore), basically no options, etc. Couple of months before release. What I'm saying is, it'll be fine.

it's okay to just not reply to a post you don't think is directed at you, y'know. I read your post and did not assume Alechnar's applied to it. You do not have to defend yourself on all points. Take that 0.02 for what it's worth,but I think this post I quoted did more harm than just letting it go. Zaodai posted:it will bring out "SO YOU THINK THIS IS A SCAM, HUH?!" people regardless of how minor a thing you point out. It's a little more of a nuanced issue than that, I think. There's also people who know development, think they know development, or don't care about development. All of those can shade responses. Personally, I'm not surprised they're running into problems, but I'd argue what matters is how they handle the problems. So far, I'm content. But then nuance has no place on the internet. you're 200% completely wrong, Urbanmechs at 10 hexes, tomorrow at 2d6 minutes past dawn! Psion fucked around with this message at 06:41 on May 29, 2017 |

Yeah I was just generally commenting on how the thread had turned into people trying to out-bid each other on how long they thought the game would slip.

Anyone calling this game a scam has no idea what they're talking about. Anyone freaking out about people calling this game a scam are only making themselves look like idiots. HBS has shown a ton of progress, has been up front about their problems, and has consistently demonstrated a consistency of vision and refusal to expand scope or get more money. They are as far from a scam as Star Citizen is from a functional game.

HBS has shipped 3(Three) isometric turn based games already. I'm confident in their ability to do it again, especially since they're staffed and run by people who are so crazy about Battletech that they made Battletech.

Too tall. But that's a scale problem that's been happening with MWO and the MechWarrior 5 video that PGI is trying to make, too, so I'm not surprised it showed up here.

Probably the "Worst" to expect outside of nitpicking mechanics people are or are not personally fond of, is that "Battletech was just Good, not Great". And then the long wait for their sequel/expansion which will suddenly be twice as good.

Section Z posted:Pretty much. Probably the "Worst" to expect outside of nitpicking mechanics people are or are not personally fond of, is that "Battletech was just Good, not Great". Which I think most of us would still as a good thing. Shadowrun Returns was rough around the edges but fun, then the next two games were significantly better. I doubt Battletech is going to be as rough as SR, but even if it is, as long as they work on a sequel that's even better, I'll take that trade.

Looks like they are using the PGI scaling indeed, which is about 75% over. Canon Atlas is 11m IIRC, PGI's is 18m, and most mechs are similarly resized. I don't hate that change TBH. Even with the size scaled up some of these mechs are ridiculously small given what's supposed to be in them, and the size of the cockpits etc.

And then you get to things like Griffins or Battlemasters that suddenly have walk-in apartments for cockpits instead. I hate that change.

An apartment for a cockpit is ideal for extended missions. Plus you can invite your girlfriend along! Then you can have a cockpit in your cockpit! I'm so sorry
