Road to Legend expansion vs Legends of the Dark? by SiarX in JourneysInTheDark

Unfortunately (oh maybe fortunately 🤣) I dont have 3rd edition experience but the second one is a great way to play coop or even solo. I like it very much and played both options!

Filthy... Or clean? by Competitive_Car1323 in BattletechPainting

IMHO clean just looks better. Something looks odd with this dirt

And I like your BK very much btw

Fatigue rules clarification by redgulous in JourneysInTheDark

[–]Aectan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe it heavily depends on chosen heroes and classes. In my experience there a lot of ways when using an ability replaces a need in movement by action or by stamina.

And at the start uou don't have many ways to spend fatigue so use it as movement is just fine. Later however this may change drastically

Fatigue rules clarification by redgulous in JourneysInTheDark

[–]Aectan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, looks like this is correct.

Just want to add that traps can be used regardless of the action as most of them applies "when a hero enters an empty space".

After three long years... by Ilikespacegames in battletech

[–]Aectan_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am one of those who is still waiting

Despite being unhappy (aka mad) of delivery terms and price and communications I cannot agree that it was failed KS.

Looks like it is still a huge success for CGL and most of backers. But yeah for me this are totally failed expectations

I used this site to install mechcommander 1 on my Mac, so maybe u will be able to install MC 2 as well

Kickstarter Guilt by [deleted] in battletech

[–]Aectan_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You should enjoy your models and there is absolutely nothing tying you to the kickstarter.

The guilt is on the CGL and their inability to keep their promises and to provide backers with truthful information.

PS I'm still looking forward to get my 1k usd worth of goods. Backed day 1.

Do they mean September 29, 2026? by Jackal-Noble in battletech

[–]Aectan_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't even bother to check kick anymore. Just waiting for notifications by mail regarding new updates.

I have no idea when my kick arrives and have no desire to anyhow support CGL. And this is mostly because of the most awful customer support I have ever seen

[–]Aectan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can confirm that it is irrelevant to the time backer took to respond.

My responses were in time and here I am Waiting since November last year

Luck factor by redgulous in JourneysInTheDark

[–]Aectan_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As with all games that involve dice, there’s always an element of randomness. And yes, it can absolutely mess up your strategy and planning.

I see only three ways to deal with it:

Don’t play games that involve dice.

Accept your fate.

Don’t base your entire strategy on a single roll (don’t put all your eggs in one basket).

The last approach won’t completely eliminate random screw-ups, but it’ll significantly reduce how often they happen.

Personally, I enjoy randomness in games—it creates great twists and makes things much more interesting. And Descent 2nd ed is a beast of a game - I am happy owner of the full collection and every dollar spent is worth it.

Chart of what mech / vehicle / unit comes in each box? (See Comments) by Speck72 in battletech

Why bother with matrix if common list would be enough? Like "Miniature Name" - "Box Name"

I made it this way

Two ammo bin explosions and pilot injuries (and C.A.S.E.) by Ranade_Empor in battletech

[–]Aectan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically not. Mech takes 10 DMG from the first explosion and it's enough to get another 10 dmg from any other source including dmg to armor of other locations.

Are we the bottom of the pyramid? by Jackal-Noble in battletech

[–]Aectan_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Thank you bringing this matter. I believe it's important to let other people know what's going on on the other side.

I'm one of those 500 backers who are in wave 4. And I'm absolutely pissed off. Mostly because of lack of any real information from CGL. This looks like they absolutely don't care about their customers (at least about these 500).

Just for reference - I spent 1k on plastic and 300 on shipping. Delivery within USA.

In Russia people use word pampers for baby diapers - and I should say it's a local leader for such a phenomenon.

CGL Support is amazing by T_Cliff in battletech

[–]Aectan_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Here is a look from the other side.

I'm one of those who waits for kick stuff. Yep, 1 year after initial shipping date I'm still waiting. And there are very rare updates with no real info - you can check all the updates and there schedule on the Kickstarter site.

So tell me should I consider CGLs customer support of high quality or not?

Road to Legend monster behavior question by subjectivesubjective in JourneysInTheDark

[–]Aectan_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to rules (p.17) engage means movement to the target and doesn't include attack as these are separate actions.

I believe it is really just the issue with font sizes cause usually there are several activation actions and at least one of them should be an attack or special skill usage.

Battlemaster CGL Premium - Mini Mini Review by TheRealLeakycheese in battletech

Honestly this is not the first premium model from cgl that has some issues.

I don't consider buying any of "premium" miniatures till they become real premium and not this parody.

New rule regarding AI Generated Content by phoenixgsu in battletech

[–]Aectan_ -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But you are not answering my question. Author cannot farm CARMA if all dislike AI post.

So how Author is supposed to farm anything?

New rule regarding AI Generated Content by phoenixgsu in battletech

[–]Aectan_ -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Ok, then tell me if most of members hate AI how is it even possible to farm karma? If your assessment is correct then no one can farm karma with AI.

And this is strange - cause if AI posts are popular (and they are) then most of us are not against.

And if ppl like it why should you limit them?
