Title: So is this game happening or not?
Post by: Drunk Bus Driver on October 01, 2008, 11:48:21 PM
Guys, I don't mean to belittle your efforts and I don't even want to sound impatient. I know you have undertaken this project on your own time and at your own expense but for over a year now I have been visiting this site in hopes of a breakthrough that would give me hope that a finished product was close at hand. But the time has come to lay the skunk on the table. Do you have a game or not?

So far... all I've seen is pictures of mechs and a couple of vids that depict a tank and some jets. They looked nice.... but to date I have not seen one walking shooting mech.

What I have seen is a ton of updates on Crysis, so many in fact that sometime I forget this is a site dedicated to the Battletech Universe.

All I'm asking for is an honest assessment on where your team is at in the production cycle and a conservative estimate on when a workable product may be delivered. If it is 6 months or a year... that's fine. Can you please just level with us. Just so you understand, I am not trying to drag you guys down. I just want to know if this is a real project or not.

If it is... I would be happy to put my money where my mouth is. If you tell me it's real and you put a pre-rorder link on your site. I will be among the first to buy the game site unseen.

I just want to play Mech...... that's all. Thanks

Dood...if you claim to have seen the pics and the videos, then can it not be real?
If you are claiming not to sound impatient...what are you asking for then by your post?
I also ask how much of the community involvement you are in. You claim to have been visiting this site for over a year now...but I cannot see what you have been "viewing".
The forums here are a great wealth of information. Just because you dont see it on a front page doesnt mean there isnt information.
I highly encourage you to do a little footwork and actually read the posts that are made here.
I would also like to know where you got your information from concerning a "pre-order" or a "purchasing" of this game. It is a Mod...not a retail stand alone.
Again...try doing your own research and find out why certain things are before posting what you did

Ok just so we can make you happy with your "Demands" we will be charging only you $700 Billion US Dollars. And we will even include a t-shirt so you can tell everyone you PAID for our services....

If you've been reading the forums properly you'd know they're aiming to have some form of release before the new year IIRC. Don't forget the devs have jobs too, so this is a undertaking entirely in there free time therefore like 4 hours max I would imagine and they are occasionally allowed to have fun :)

It's almost been a year since Crysis's release, that's cool. Don't forget it takes full time development teams (that are probably larger than MWLL's team I suspect) at least 2 years but generally around the 3 year mark to finish a game. And you did sound impatient regardless of how you intended to come across.

Nope, sorry, next week we're renaming it BattleTech Commando (that way George Lucas can be involved). You play the roll of a Longinus clad soldier from a broken home who, by the end of the campaign discovers he has a heart of gold...

Look you bunch of douchebags, all I was trying to do was get a little clarity on when this mod might be available. I have read the forums and I haven't seen anything concrete. You say late this year? I say bull$hit. Unless they are seriously hiding a ton of work then there is no way this will be ready inside of six months.

They don't even have basic movement of mechs nailed down but that's okay because the good news is Crysis released another update today....wooohooo! Who gives a $hit?

I know it's a mod, I know it's not a retail game. I was simply offering to put my money where my mouth is in the form of a donation.

So all of you koolaid drinkers can now take some time after my post to thoroughly embarrass yourself with your so called witty remarks and when your done, just remember.... a herd of cows grazing on open fields of jalapeno peppers still couldn't give a $hit.

What difference does it make whether we tell you the mod will be available 6 months from now or not say anything at all?
You'll still have to wait. It won't make any difference at all. If you don't think this project is real, well.. I think you're just a skeptic from the start who wants people to bow down and show you their ass.  You also need to read through the forums some more because, yes, we are releasing something this year.

What really funny, and what annoys me the most, is he actually thinks we show every tiny update and bit of progress we make... I know a mod that did that. Funny thing is, if we put out every little update just to show progress, more than likely we would NOT be as demanding in the standards of our work. If you don't see it, it's not perfect yet. Period. Thats the only thing you can get out of it.

Second point, any asshat can make "basic mech movement". I did it in 20 minutes. We don't want "basic" we want AWESOME mech movement that is BETTER than QW:ET, BF2142 and MW4. Those games are the MINUMUM goal we are shooting for.

So the next time you want to feel big, and "put your money where you mouth is" try and sign up for the team and actually contribute, not just show up to troll.



And thanks to the rest of the community, who actually gives enough of a crap about quality over quantity to back us up.




Oh, and final thought... Who gives a crap about any Crysis update? We've done things already not even Crytek could figure out..

"You say late this year? I say bull$hit."...O, I get it..so what you REALLY meant to say is that MWLL Dev team is full of it, ok..I get it. You were just trying to be nice.

"They don't even have basic movement of mechs nailed down"....Ok, then there ya have it. You have just answered your own question to your original post. Since this has not been "nailed" down, I guess there is no game. ::)

"I know it's a mod, I know it's not a retail game. I was simply offering to put my money where my mouth is in the form of a donation"...lol  That is not what you said. Are you having a hard time putting into words what you really mean?

"So all of you koolaid drinkers can now take some time after my post to thoroughly embarrass yourself with your so called witty remarks and when your done, just remember.... a herd of cows grazing on open fields of jalapeno peppers still couldn't give a $hit."..lol wtf?

Some we CAN name off

Proper Flight physics (which you've already seen)
Fire Group Management on multiple vehicle weapons
Proper functionality with Cruise control on Missiles (LRM arc)
Entity Latch System (Elemental Claw, Vehicle Tansport)
Character to Vehicle Binding (Merging character legs to a vehicle - of course still work in progress)
Custom Modular weapon system (Both cosmetic and functional)

And those are just the tip of the ice burg :). But again, none of that would appease non-koolaid drinkers cause all they want is the cosmetic appeal of a tank with moving legs. :D

The great thing about not charging us for all your wonderful work is that you don't have to worry about 'lost revenue' when dealing with impatient trolls. If they get offended... so what?

But at the same time, I'm also curious about being able to donate money to your cause. I imagine that your noncommercial license prohibits you from accepting payment, and that the majority of your 'costs' are man-hours, but I still would love some way to contribute to the project despite not having any applicable skills.

Somehow I have to wonder - I'm not exactly the most patient person, but even a blind man could see that MW:LL is not dead, and in fact rather quite the opposite.

I wouldn't say that.  There haven't been any official updates in months, and outside of a core group of regulars who post in every thread, nothing happens here.  Even the number of topics that are created and commented on each day has decreased.  I think it's easy for someone who hasn't been here before to mistakenly believe that the mod has slowed to a near crawl rather than flying in high gear.  That doesn't excuse them from being rude and demanding.

You should see how big the maps are in file-size alone  ;D

I'll give you a hint... they are much bigger than this map in filesize:

http://crymod.com/filebase.php?fileid=1832&lim=0

Of course part of this has to do with the fact that each map has it's own unquie set of original terrain texturing done for it, and all the textures for each map are stored in their map folders, but yeah.

Honestly a lot of the space IS raw stuff.  I imagine the release version of the mod will be cut down and cleaned up a lot.

I know you guys have a zillion other things on your mind with relation to MWLL, but please, please, please put some serious thought into how your going to distribute the initial release. There is nothing worse than having released and most people waiting 48 hours to get it downloaded, it's so annoying, spending all nights and days watching your pathetic 100kb/s down not budging  :-\

Torrent, and lots of file sharers (Gamershell etc.) would be awesome. Might want to look into what POE2 did releasing the file 48 hours pre-release in a passworded RAR/Zip and then released the password on launch day. Although it could be cracked I suppose. Either way when you guys are getting close to release take some time to think out a good strategy to distribute this as quickly as possible. I know that it's probably a long while away but just give it some thought :)

We've had some very good cooperations with filehosters like Fileplanet and private mirrors while we were working on the TeamAction-Minimod for Crysis and will be reviving them come the release of MWLL. Also, we expect to the see the files hosted on some other large gaming related websites.
While we might offer a torrent, the web hosted solution seems to be the preferable one to us at this point.

If you guys have problems with downloads use download managers to boost your download speed and the ability to start+stop+resume downloads that are incomplete.

Just a heads up I did a quick test today and cleared out all the source files and we are actually only at 1.4 gigs of core game files.

I imagine since so many people are watching the mod a torrent wouldn't be a bad idea.

Shacknews will also host the file on Fileshack..

I have a 500 gig. I'm good, I was just kidding - joking that the size of the mod might eventually be around 250gb since it's 7.8 gb as it stands now.

Oh, and final thought... Who gives a crap about any Crysis update? We've done things already not even Crytek could figure out..

this attitude actually makes me think that the op has a good argument. that statement sounds like it is coming from some kid. "not even crytek could figure out" sounds like you have no idea what's relevant to get a game out, and then i also wonder if this is the correct attitude to treat those people who's engine you use and who help you.  ::)

Keeper's been in meet the dev's so there's photo evidence he's no kid. I've worked with him for almost a full year and belive me, he's one of the most dedicated people on the mod. Crysis is selling more copies of their game because of mods, ours included. Their motivation is hardly selfless, not that we're ungrateful but let's keep things in perspective. As for what it takes to get a game out, join the team and find out. You keep mentioning putting your money where your mouth is and offering to donate. We don't want your money, all we ask is if you have skill pitch in... in other words.. put up, or shut up.

being one and acting like one ain't much of a difference. also "Crysis is selling more copies of their game because of mods, ours included." is made up out of thin air, especially for you as you haven't delivered anything yet. i didn't mention anything about putting money anywhere and telling me to shut up, just underlines what i said about the attitude.

It's true there isn't much difference in acting like a kid or being one, there's also not much difference between being a troll and an asshole.
You're wrong about our mod not selling more copies of Crysis. We've had multiple forumgoer's and also cross websites that have stated they were buying the copies specifically because we were developing this mod. Infact, people have already done so in anticipation of the mod.

I'd also like to stress, this is why Programmers don't work in Public Relations.

Mika, your trying to make the dev team sound like jerks. You haven't said so out loud but you sound like it.

Your trying to make them sound arrogant, but they have been working on this for a long time.
They deserve to not have to act humble. Do you see mechs in Crysis? No? Therefore they have done things crytek did not.

Well lets just have look shall we?


i'm curious, how much does it cost you to use the transformers music in your teaser video?
what do you mean by that?
well, sorry for asking then. but instead of making fun of me, couldn't you just have replied with that you can't give me that information?
okay, thanks. but can you at least please give me an address where i can ask for permission? i have no idea to whom i should apply to. is there a general management address for that kind of stuff or do you have to ask the composer directly?
are there some current trailers or videos? i've checked here: http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/cpg/thumbnails.php?album=23 and there's nothing. last video i've seen ages ago had mostly static stuff in it, and i'm curious how your mode advanced over the time.  :)
why the offense? i wasn't asking for "What is MechWarrior: Living Legends??"
thanks. are there already videos with mechs that are moving? couldn't find ones on youtube.

From just going over your posts here, you come off as being either argumentative or criticizing the development team. Keep in mind that you "appear" to be taking shots at people who have donated literally thousands of hours of their personal time to bring this mod to life.

We fully understand that we will receive criticism from the public, but it doesn't for one second mean we will take shit from anybody, especially from someone who is not directly involved with the making of this mod and or from anyone who comes off as just another damn forum troll.

If you don't like the attitude, don't give any.
