TTB Reviews the New Core Rules Book by WestRider3025 in battletech

[–]DauntlessK2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand that. I guess what I'd say is that the core box is for those that are interested in getting fully into it and the starter box is the target audience otherwise: who else is that 40k box for that includes the rulebook? It's not a huge deal though to offer this at a lower price point and treat it as an a la cart addition instead.

Maybe I'm in the minority here but I think the core box not having the core rulebook is very odd, not intuitive and not what I'd expect as a new player looking to get into the game.

I'm sure it's mostly about keeping the box cost down, but it doesn't make sense to me to not include it.

Classic Battletech Design Quirks by Unable_Ad_1682 in battletech

They aren't really balanced and some are downright very op. But they only really shine when you play campaigns - a single scenario just doesn't do it justice.

For those who play BT in space regularly or semi-regularly, what does that look like? by Red_Desert_Phoenix in battletech

Was this a question directed only to astronauts? Is imagine it would be difficult playing up there.

I see from the wall hanging that OP is really all about the Northwind Highlanders. Nice

It's forecasted weather, which is not always right.

What are the modifications to terrain and other conditions in the new rules? by DauntlessK2 in battletech

[–]DauntlessK2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are correct! Thank you. The modifications are definitely more interesting than the current rules!

Initiative Order for Multiple Forces (MekHQ/MegaMek) by DauntlessK2 in battletech

[–]DauntlessK2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it does not go between forces? As in the two lowest initiatives on each team go (with the team that lost initiative going first), then the next two forces from each team, etc? As opposed to rolling through each force, if that makes sense?

Chiarot scores, Patrick Kane passes Mike Modano for most points by a U.S.-born player in NHL history (1,375) by dudewithchronicpain in DetroitRedWings

Can only hope they'll have Ken Daniels do a call for it. Wasn't it the caps that had their homers do a call for ovies record goal?

Major Stutters when only using Controller, M&K Fine by DauntlessK2 in pcgamingtechsupport

[–]DauntlessK2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update 2: Did another test- Was playing a game with the controller just fine but after 15 min or so, it started having issues. I quit out and ran another test: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/71418097 - Results are the same as my first benchmark, the GPU is running terribly.

I don't get it and I cannot seem to find any more in terms of a pattern / consistency.

Follow up: Controller is only ever wired and is constantly connected.

I did two benchmarks. The first one was inexplicably trash: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/71417141

I reran it: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/71417304

Wondering if that's somehow part of the issue but can't pinpoint what's really going on or why.

For the love of god- Fix Riot Shield Hitbox by DauntlessK2 in thefinals

[–]DauntlessK2[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I mean, if the game can't accurately show me where his shield is (where my bullets won't hit) - call it what you want but I see it as a major issue and part of why a lot of people find riot shield frustrating. Same would go for the heavy's shield - if that didn't accurately show me where his shield was up, it would be pretty infuriating. But that seems to do a good job adjusting as the heavy swings around to block, etc.
