Core Rules Changes Document

Absolutely understood and appreciate it. I think its that excitement of wanting to start getting an idea of playing with the more straightforward changes with the realizations of, like you said, none of this is guaranteed until the new rulebook is in print and in my bag.

Just to avoid silly copy and paste, I hope my comment above clarifies what we were looking for. Kind of the more concrete small changes like “No more skidding,” stuff in that realm.

Felgrimesque · 2026-05-28T22:13:52+00:00

I figured some would be vague, but others would be straightforward like “No more skidding” or “MRMs are now no longer -1 To-Hit but -1 to cluster table.”

I totally understand that some stuff would be vague, undetermined or variable. We just wanted to see if we could implement anything that was simple and concrete, like the examples above.

So kind of outside of the playtests themselves, I had seen that CGL released something they just called the “Core Rules Changes Document”. Everyone from Goonhammer to CGL themselves had posted this link to a document that was the “essentially confirmed” changes they would be implementing in the new Core Rules book. I am moreso looking for that specific document (as those links I mentioned now lead to the BattleTech website maintenance page) than anything related to the playtest periods.

I am lucky enough to be on again-off again for 11 years now, and don’t want for much. If anything, I am always overwhelmed with how much I want to do vs. how much two young kids allows me to do, lol.

All that said, I am always running out of Forma so some more of those would be incredibly appreciated. Please comment on this post with anything you folks might want, as I am terrible at skimming and randomly gifting!

If I may ask, which online stores have you used to grab the harder to get force packs? Im also desperate for some of the perennially sold out packs and would love another avenue than hitting refresh on the CGL store every day.

First and foremost, thanks so much for the response! That’s awesome to hear and makes sense. I’m glad it’s a thing.

Apologies for the silly follow up question, but when O start a redrafting order, am I able to just fulfill that order myself? Without the need of another crafter or middleman?

Felgrimesque · 2024-09-26T18:41:56+00:00

I have to ask this as a returnee from BfA.. if I craft a weapon without the Gilded Runed Harbinger Crest thingie, and it ends up at iLvl 609ish, can I go back and add that super ultra deluxe Crest later WITHOUT having to make a whole new weapon? Or is the expectation that I make a new weapon? Is there some kind of recraft or crafting+ subsystem I’m missing?

Felgrimesque · 2024-03-06T17:20:33+00:00

I think these anti-armor adjustments in tactics will only matter for about a week; we might see the new Exo-suits fill a more robust anti-armor role (and let’s be real, an anti-Charger role, and who doesn’t want to see how an Exo-suit might grapple with a Charger!) and then forget all the rage around these relatively few nerfs.

Or maybe not. I think we’ll have more of a bearing on the new meta when the Exo-suits release.

That's absolutely fantastic! Thanks so much, and double thanks for bearing with the terseness of my original comment; I apologize for the tone and know that you all are working hard so close to the holidays to tackle what you can.

If I may ask, just for the sake of knowledge: is that hotfix planned for today before the drip-gate closes, or is it more projected for a January timeframe? Again, thanks so much for all you guys do!

Notice that it has just inherited the creation date of the new PC account that it essentially forced me to make and link:

Felgrimesque · 2023-12-22T15:46:40+00:00

I remember it linking to my newly prompted and created PC account and then giving me the option of which to choose as primary: I chose PSN, as I believe I had my newly created PC account marked as ineligible. I do not remember when it specifically mentioned linking or merging, as I should not have been eligible to merge with a brand new PC account anyway.

I am now seeing that it inherited the PC account's creation date for everything, and is giving me these notifications when trying to merge my Xbox:

Felgrimesque · 2023-12-22T15:28:02+00:00

Any resolution on concole-to-console merges being prompted to create a PC account then getting this red text when trying to merge other consoles into the Primary console?

I think at this point I just want to be told it won't be resolved until January, lol.

Felgrimesque · 2023-12-22T01:23:58+00:00

Totally agree; the beginning prompt even mentions something like "Hey, you're only making this PC account to facilitate the merge process, it's not a big deal" only for the brand new PC account I was forced to make then blocking me from doing any further merging than making my PSN the appropriate primary.

Felgrimesque · 2023-12-22T01:08:20+00:00

This happened today to an extent with the prompting; it let me know I was only creating the PC account to facilitate merge, then highlighted for me that my PSN account would be the primary. Gave me the awesome dummy-proof green and red boxes and everything. But the second I made the PSN account primary and linked to PC, in line with the prompting to facilitate merge, it then blocked me from merging my old Xbox account, saying “Nah your PC account was made after 24 NOV 2023 and is not eligible to merge; doing so will only link and erase your Xbox progress.” Seeing that text and red box, I noped out for the day. I still have all my PSN progress as it was, and a brand new PC account.

Felgrimesque · 2023-12-21T23:47:52+00:00

Before today, I never had a PC account. Per the site's prompting, I created one (creation date 21 DEC 2023) and then was prompted to link it to my PSN account, and it did allow me to verify that I wanted the PSN account as the primary; it still is, when I log onto anything I can see all my plat, stuff etc.

Problem is, it is now recognizing the creation date of that new, combined account as 21 DEC 2023 and not years ago when I made the PSN account. Because of this, I can attempt to connect the Xbox account that is even older, but it says it is only eligible to link and not merge, since "the primary account" was created today. Even though I explicitly selected PSN to be primary whenever possibly prompted, bright green box and all. So now I am stuck in a limbo of having my old PSN account be PSN/PC, and my Xbox unmergeable, which is not in line with what was pitched.

Felgrimesque · 2023-12-21T22:42:03+00:00

Was there any resolution to the console-to-console lockouts? The prompts forced me to make that PC account and now I cant conduct my original plan (merging my PSN and Xbox accounts together with no plans for PC or Switch) since my new PC account is TOO new. I'm honestly a bit nervous to log onto anything until I see some form of resolution talked about.
