So annoying

[enderbeta]

I dropped off the ledge in a Mad Dog to take a target out only to find out the area literally has no way to get out of it. Nice to know there is play testing done. Nothing like having to restart a mission because you get stuck. Nice job devs...

nothing like making a mistake or not having jump jets right ? Those choices are not the devs fault.

Are you really defending level design that allows a mech to get stuck? Get blocked level 0 troll.

This is good old steam forums, bunch of whiny entitled babies who blame devs and "game design" for them sucking at the game.

Hes not wrong though......3 had multiple "traps" like this if you werent paying attention or if you didnt have jets you got stuck in and nearly every non "mercs" title has had them since, they are just continuing the trend.

Yeah, this is actual player fault. For not paying attention to the terrain or for not taking jump jets. Just watch where you're going next time and if you see your AI lance mates not going into particular areas, there's several good reasons why.

you went down a hole you could of avoided, it's your fault.

Old game does something bad so it's ok for new game to do it too. It just seems like poor game design to let you get stuck and call it a feature. If it is a feature then mission fail and be done with it. Letting the player get stuck and then staying there just seems like crap work being hand waived but whatever. It's not like later mechs have jump jets as an option.

Whatever lesson learned. Not bothering to vent here about anything...Just changing my review to negative and done with it. Wish I could ask for my money back.

A negative review cause you were punished for being blind.....thats just blaming someone else for your own mistakes.....the traps like that are intentional, and you not tossed out of the mission with a fail because jump jets are an option, you have to be attentive when droping down into spots if you lack jets.....its simple as that.

... Welcome to the Inner Sphere. Welcome to a realm where planets can have terrain features equal to the Grand Canyon as the norm. Welcome to hostile planets where the terrain is regularly so bad, that walkers with rocket boosters became the normal heavy weapons platform.

You got stuck in bad terrain because you got lazy and didn't watch your step. And on top of getting stuck, being lazy, you didn't take a Mech with Jump Jets to fix the situation. So congrats. Your Mech is mission killed. Restart the mission and learn from the mistake. Or switch your command view to an allied Mech and leave your starting command Mech stuck there.

Does it suck? Sure. But its a thing that regularly happens in setting, even in real life.

it wasn't a hole, its a beach head with a gentle slope. The terrain was simple enough I should have been able to walk over it but got stuck on a invisible wall on the map taking the air base.

It's not like I fell into a pit that you all are making it out to be.

Then I make it all the way through the second time and kill the three SOKOL to only have this POS game crash and I have to play through a third time. It makes me want to scream.

almost like the saying: "look before you leap" has merit, huh?

Screw it, playing this damn mission a third time I'll go screen shot the spot and you can tell me if that looks like you should get stuck ...

This is where I got stuck. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3351458920

There is a cliff wall not a pit. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3351459161

Could rotate the torso to see that nothing is there that should keep me from moving https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3351459582

I should be able to walk down the rocky embankment, go into the water, go around the rocks that don't look passable and back up the bank on the other side. Instead nothing I was stuck in place. Is this me doing something wrong?!

Okay, that might actually be some bad terrain design. Unfortunately, that isn't new to gaming either. You just start the mission over and avoid that area.

I was watching a homie play a mission where he was specifically instructed to run away from a lance of assaults that were dropped off behind him in a cave. He was *supposed* to run away in some dramatic chase sequence I guess?

He obviously stayed because he didn't feel 4 mechs were an actual threat - the AI walked up to him and COMPLETELY stopped moving. Like, absolutely no attempt to fight or dodge. He said the EXACT same thing you did. "Nice to know there is play testing done."

Thought you'd get a laugh. lmao.
