Somebody should figure out the density of that Atlas if we accept the 100T weight. A modern 70 ton MBT is probably the size of it's crotch box. I bet it would float.

Zaodai posted:Canon Atlases are already lacking enough in density to float, from what people have said about the distribution of 100 tons compared to their physical dimensions. Blowing them up by another 60% or what ever would make it even more hilarious. Wanna see an Atlas floating in a tropical sea, drinking booze out of an apartment building-sized coconut with a circus tent umbrella.

Bolow posted:After dicking around more in skirmish, I feel like Sensor Lock on a scout mech coupled with an LRM boat might be a little too good, especially considering that the commando and jenner have huge sensor ranges. This might be less of an issue in the campaign mode since ammo might not be readily available or easily replenished between missions, but they're pretty brutal in skirmish If you tried this against a human player, what's the counter? Stay in cover and flank the LRM boats?

Light mech durability feels about right to me. Unless you get unlucky with where the damage lands, I feel like they can take 2 or 3 good hits before you have to pull back with them and use them cautiously.

I played tabletop, and the AI doesn't put up a huge fight - I haven't lost more than 1 mech in a match so far. But aside from being quirky and somewhat easy to exploit, the fact that the AI mostly functions well seems really impressive.

Perestroika posted:Another popular example is the AI coding in early versions of Oblivion. They had this huge elaborate system set up, where each NPC had a set of characteristics and needs and would dynamically try to satisfy their needs in line with their characteristics (e.g. an upstanding citizen will always buy food to eat, whereas a criminal might just steal or even murder for it). Kinda like The Sims writ large, if you will. I'm sure one of the reasons it got so far was because it probably was very interesting and satisfying to design, implement, and then see working in motion. However, it ran into two problems: One, all the additional complexity could quickly lead to unpredictable outcomes, like entire towns killing themselves off in some sort of revenge-murder cascade triggered by a harmless theft. And two, all that complexity was largely wasted on the player, who couldn't see the workings behind it. If you see a shopkeeper get up and go grab a bite to eat in the tavern, it doesn't make much difference to you whether he did that because a complex simulation had him decide he'd gotten too hungry and calculate the inn as the cheapest place to get good food, or whether there's just a simple script along the lines of "At time Y, go to place X and perform action Z, then return". The result, as seen by the player, is essentially the same. It can be very easy to get lost in the how a certain thing can be accomplished, while forgetting about the resulting what that the player will actually interact with. This is one of the reasons I thought Star Citizen was such a  Also,  April 24th

Galaga Galaxian posted:The thunderbolt is definitely in the game. Also we're all hoping the MWO mechs not yet included either show up as expansion material and/or modded in by players (someone already whipped up primitive Rifleman and Warhammer mods for the beta). I don't understand why some of the unseen are in and some aren't. Whatever, IANAL.

If could send a message back in time to myself, I would be so confused by "Hey in like 15 years you can play a multiplayer Mechwarrior game that lets you a pilot a Daishi, Warhammer, Marauder or whatever, but it's not that much fun. Also there's a Mechwarrior 5 coming out that nobody's excited about. P.S.

Game good. I played the beta a fair amount and still get a little confused about the UI, so it’s probably a lovely learning curve for anyone new. But the game really tickles that part of my brain that got joy from moving plastic mechs around on a paper hex map, and I don’t want to stop playing.

Renegret posted:I have a 4P. The biggest problem I have is that it tends to get focused really hard and it doesn't have the armor or speed to put up with it. The mech spends a lot of time in repairs, and you have to baby the hunch so it's not rendered worthless. Plus, if the hunch gets blown off, it takes a long time to rebuild all those MLs. It's kinda cool when people post about how to play with a particular mech, and the description is pretty much interchangeable between BT and MWO.
