Just wondering as to the status of MTAC production. I know there have been alot of changes in the roadmap for DUST, and i would like to know if their still being worked on right now, or if they've been backlogged in favor of more pressing issues. Any feed back would be much appreciated because im really looking foward to these beauties, and am trying to plan my SP expenditure for the next few months. TY in advance and best luck to you all. |

MTAC
Mining MTAC
The MTAC, or Mechanized Torso-Actuated Chassis, is a bipedal, robot-like exo suit. They are very common and come in many specialized varieties, designed for tasks such as mining, heavy lifting, and combat. The ground-based armed forces of the four Empires all contain combat-MTAC divisions, some of which are even space-worthy.
Tibus Heth spent time as a simple labor-MTAC opperator before his political ascension.
Rhykevance
The Rhykevance-class MTAC was a type of military-grade MTAC used by Caldari ground forces. It possessed shoulder-mounted machine guns as well as anti-armor and anti-tank weaponry. Many of these participated in the recent retaking of Caldari Prime.
The devs need to feed us more info |

Thankyou for the info on their history, and while it not unappreciated, im more concerned with the production status so we can hopefully get 'very rough' estimate on when we might see them ingame, or a devblog about them :p |

The same thing was said about heavy suits but we still have no resistances although it is clearly stated otherwise. |

Pretty sure it was on the back burner, and then taken off and tossed in the freezer after 1.0 dropped. |

if CCP was working on them, as with anything, you won't know till a week before it's released, after it's code locked in stone and likely riddled with design issues.
That being said, I'll be on in a few hours to derp around. Only lost 10 million to RDV's yesterday with dropships so I've got a little bit left before I go broke / quit trying to play at this RDV dodgeball game CCP is dreamed up. |

They probably will never come out. And if they do, they'll come out pre-nerfed really bad, because all assaults will say that one ADV AV grenade should be enough to destroy it. |

I can't see MTACs working out very well.
They would be light vehicles with slow speed and therefore sitting ducks for the SL.
There is no way they would be as fast as a LAV, so they would have to tank as much as a HAV or even a LLAV to even have half a chance.
Picture a heavy suit that can run as fast as a Scout that you can lock with AV. |

Lulz, that should be amusing. That said the titanfall forums should be amusing to watch after release, I bet that there will be a load of unwarranted qq about those mechs. |

That was a player post.
All they said at FanFest is "we're not ready to show them yet". That's what CCP Jian said.
Of course, he's not there anymore, so...not sure if that might have any bearing. |

Fast, plus possible high jumping height due to jump jets (NOT the same as a jet pack). Sounds maneuverable enough, too. If it comes with a smash option, I'll use it against tanks. |

It seems to me that 1.5 vehicle balance pass would be the perfect opportunity to get something like that in there and make sure it's in a good place. |

Should really release the concept art then so that we can at least look forward to it. There was mention of it at Fanfest and I'll quote:
"We aren't going to show them to you because we're not ready to"
Paraphrasing but none-the-less it would definitely help to have something nice to think about rather than speculation as to whether it's going to look like Mechwarrior (big, bulky and sort of stupid-humanoid looking) or Armored Core (streamlined, sleek and awesome) |

Perhaps at the next Fanfest, CCP could stick to telling us about forthcoming content that is a little more than a "sparkle in the eye". That way, our hopes and expectations might not be dashed quite so regularly. |

many things may have happened within the company internally since Fanfest. need i bring up the Jita Riots? Devs change over time, road maps evolve. lets see what the future holds. i cant wait to see where this beauty goes in the future. |

Yes, I hope their biggest problems are behind them. This way if we get a new roadmap, it'll be more accurate to what actually ends up happening.
Hopefully instead of QQing about previous fanfest info, everyone understands how and why things changed. Rather they should indicate how much they'd appreciate More communication. Which I think is only a good thing.

Armored core V was an amazing game if i forgot the title... but being that it was an "Armored Core" title... it didnt have the same beautiful feel to it that any of the PS2 titles had... something magical was lost. ofc, thats just my personal opinion. |

aye, that was all fun... but when it came down the the nitty gritty combat, all the pvp fights i had were long range affairs, it wasnt up close and personal like AC Last Raven seemed to be, the mechs in V almost felt weightless, when i was piloting on the PS2, i could almost feel the grind of metal through my controller... i really dont know how to explain it. its like, when im in a scout suit, i feel light and airy hopping around, and then a put on a heavy loaded down with plates, and, i can almost feel the weight behing that beautiful ceramic and steel. its truely something amazing when a game imerses you in that way, when you can feel what you character might be feeling. |

I liked the armored core games, but I can't remember if it was 4 or 5 where they cranked up the movement speed a crazy amount. I didn't like that so much. Started feeling more like zone of the enders... which was also a cool game, but a different game.
I like my mechs to feel heavy. Lighter, if I customize them that way, but by default heavy.
Speaking of heavy.... MTAC should only be pilotable by heavy suits. I have no justification for this other than screw everyone else. |

Armored core V was an amazing game if i forgot the title... but being that it was an "Armored Core" title... it didnt have the same beautiful feel to it that any of the PS2 titles had... something magical was lost. ofc, thats just my personal opinion. I enjoyed the mercenary MP stuff, had fun with that and of course... graphs!
I think he might have been referring to Armored Core 4 and Armored Core for Answer.
While I did enjoy those games, the latter was winnable by combining machine-gun arms with a shoulder-mounted rotary cannon as your left Back weapon, and then building entirely for speed.
Not a single enemy in the game could survive that. While I was struggling to put together a balanced build to handle multiple situations, my friend got S ranks in every missions on Normal and Hard within a few days. |

Obviously this post is going to be edited and the thread probably locked afterward but I think that Blam is no longer with CCP for....
Well, I don't want to say because it probably will get me banned but I will say that I have it on good authority that he is no longer with CCP. |

The dual wielding aspect on the APUS in "The Matrix" could be the foundation of an innovative design. What if APUs had the mobility between a tank and a LAV, with the ability to jump, but it had to be in non-combat mode to move? This allows for your controls to be solely focused on moving and staying upright (make it so MTACs can trip. That'd be glorious). Then, when you arrive at nice point, you activate combat mode, and then you're rooted to the ground and you basically become an installation, except with two small turrets on each hand. You can only face forward, and each joystick controls one turret (sorry, KB/M). It'd be like those deer shooting arcade games except you have a gun in both hands. |

This was asked before, and the response is that the employment status of other members of their team is not something they were at liberty to discuss.
That means he's gone. |

I fully endorse this philosophy.
- Balance and fix current vehicles, find a 'default' power level
- Save cool new stuff for far future in order to avoid busting their introduction and avoid disappointment for all |

Sad, but also funny how guy who contributed to disbalance Infantry vs Vehicle finally end up on fixing Vehicle ..
Good luck. |

You think he's being unrealistic? Look at what I want from an MTAC. |

Well truthfully MTACS would be abysmal if they were put into the game right now. A mech needs to feel perfect while its moving, and the terrain is just too damned messed up. |

Is dropship cloaking still on the table, planned, or being worked on? http://dust514.com/news/blog/2012/03/vehicle-dev-b/It seems to me that 1.5 vehicle balance pass would be the perfect opportunity to get something like that in there and make sure it's in a good place.
That link.... Oh why did they not go along that route, it actually sounded like they were onto something special |

Should really release the concept art then so that we can at least look forward to it. There was mention of it at Fanfest and I'll quote:
"We aren't going to show them to you because we're not ready to"
Paraphrasing but none-the-less it would definitely help to have something nice to think about rather than speculation as to whether it's going to look like Mechwarrior (big, bulky and sort of stupid-humanoid looking) or Armored Core (streamlined, sleek and awesome)
please, for the love of whatever god you may or may not believe in, tell me you are talking about the armored cores from the PS2, not the garbage on the PS3 You didn't like Armoured Core V? Armored core V was an amazing game if i forgot the title... but being that it was an "Armored Core" title... it didnt have the same beautiful feel to it that any of the PS2 titles had... something magical was lost. ofc, thats just my personal opinion.

Well the game was fine and all, but the looks...eh, seems they were trying to hard for "realism" in the game, in both looks and functionality.
I mean realism in games CAN be cool, but sometimes unrealistic impossible stuff can be a lot better, and if I'm playing in giant mechs to destroy other giant mechs, I'd rather it be an awesome unrealistic fight, than a more boring and generic realistic-ish one.

I want MTACs to be fast but clumsy. Maybe a clumsy 2 button walking operation - you gotta tap them to move. |
