BATTLETECH Keys Are On Their Way!

re-loaded more than I thought. I was doing good but man, they need to mark that drop sip landing zone better (boom) one mech and pilot dead. Then in a tough mission the game lagged so my beautiful jj landing turned out to have me facing directly away from the srm carrier ......... I still won but man, I don't think I can afford all the repairs. amazong the difference on mech makes!

BATTLETECH Community,


Please be aware that our servers will be down for an update starting sometime between 4:00pm and 8:00pm Pacific time. We will update this post 15 minutes before the actual time of the server interruption. Total downtime is anticipated to be less than an hour. During this time, multiplayer games will not function, you will not be able to log in to your PDX account (or create a new one), reward codes will not be redeemable, and you will not be able to register a call sign.


Thank you for your patience. More info tomorrow as we get closer to the update.

Single player doesn't sound like it will be affected.

 

Eeek. I hope not. that is kinda the time I play! hee hee. That is ok. Kinda just goes with the comedy of errors that began last night.

 

Well it does say this.

During this time, multiplayer games will not function, you will not be ableto log in to your PDX account (or create a new one), reward codes will not be redeemable, and you will not be able to register a callsign.

So single player shouldn't be affected. I hope. Otherwise I don't get to play tonight.

 

I have 18 hours in and thinking about restarting. Trying to play ironman but the injuries and mech refits and then repairs are killing me. Over a total of 180 days in the hospital so far. Have the Argo but lost time to be able to do the easier missions first and the increasingly hard missions now( two or 2 1/2 skulls now)fighting heavies and vehicles when I'm still in mediums is tuff. One more injury that puts me in the hospital for more than 30 days will bankrupt me. When that happens I'll start over and make judicious use restarting missions that end in catastrophic outcomes.

Oh and do cut screen loading times seem excessive to any of you? Thinking about taking it off the HD and moving it to the SSD I use for SC.

Also seeing a lot of folks on Paradox are complaining about GPU heatthat goes over 85. Mine hasn't went over 45 but I have a good airflow case with water cooled CPU, cpu never over 35. Don't know if the 280 mm cooler helps the GPU any but my system stays cool on anything. Watch your heat.

 

It also sounds like you really should have 6 pilots at a minimum. But because of salary probably no more than 8 (counting yorself).

 

Does anyone know if you can launch a mission and not be in it yourself? Would be helpful at times you're injured.

 

Haven't tried but I would assume as long as it isn't a story mission you could. My character just hasn't been that injured. My other pilots have.

 

I must be lucky. Take a head injury about every third or forth mission for 26 to 99 days. My other pilots very seldom take injuries and I've only had to use my one backup twice. When I restart I'll train him better.

 

I would have to check what my Highlander is using. I lost his gauss rifle

 

I know you can drop without your character. I am not 100% sure on story missions though.

 

The pilots I keep putting in the shadow hawk keeps getting killed. Doesn’t matter how hard I try to keep them safe, no matter what I do, every pilot so far has died while piloting it. I think it is cursed. I keep on bringing it back from the grave, maybe I should just scrap it.

 

First time through the Argo mission I lost 2 pilots and I was injured for 200 days. Second time, the first 2 shots at my blackjack hit me in the head and destroyed it on turn 5. My 3rd attempt, I beat it but the spider was badly damaged and the vindicator lost its head and pilot when that pirate queen did an alpha strike and it all hit the head...

Seems like you get hit in the head a lot.

 

that moment when you finally look at a clock and find out you needed to go to bed 3 hours ago.

 

Are you sure you do not already have a Paradox account?

 

So after six straight deaths in the shadow hawk. A old guy with the call sign saint finally lived a match and cored a black knight cockpit first turn. Was some mission against 4 capellan legacy mechs. A QuickDraw, Orion, and two black knights. I barely won even with that lucky cockpit shot.

 

If the first missile from a launcher does not roll a head hit none of the rest (from that launcher) will either.

 

Apparently a fair number of people are failing the very first mission or the miner mission.
