Cyttorak's Illustrated Tutorial

[Cyttorak001]

Started this in the user content subforum, but I'll post it here instead:

Any suggestions are welcome. I'm sure I've left a ton of stuff out still.

Version 2.31 (tried to upload Word doc, but not an accepted file type)

 

[Chaon]

Fantastic mate.

 

[ColonelJarJar]

Amazing work Cyttorak!

Mods, can we please sticky this?

 

[KristoffVonK]

Good and informative.....except for the fact the game isnt out yet, and numbers may change, maybe they think bulwark is too strong and will drop it to 40%...a this point who knows

 

[OathOfFealty]

Excellent!

This is what I was suggestion earlier. Some guide to this game to explain the basics because so many streamers (And by extension average gamers) are not understanding these basics.

 

[Tyr-El]

I'm making a note here: Huge success.

Good job dude, if you want some help with posting it without using word let me know. Feel like I've become a pro at formatting recently.

Whatever format is best, we'll use that. I'm not married to Word. My only complaint right now is that I'd like the pictures to be as large as possible.
As I said above, if anyone has specific requests for the tutorial I'll get on them as fast as I can. I'll update this regularly until either the 24th or until it doesn't need improvement anymore.

*edit* when I get home, maybe I'll post the raw word file so you can cut and paste easily into a new format.

Thank you !

 

[Col. Darkheart]

Great stuff! Especially for new players who haven't followed the early vids, Q&As and streams! Sticky please!

Don't we think melee attacks ignore evasion entirely? I noticed the language you used was a bit uncertain, saying that melee ignores "at least 4 pips of evasion". It would be good to tell players exactly how that works, if it's public knowledge.

 

[Promethian]

I clicked expecting a joke about the Juggernaut. Got an actual guide. Not sure if disappointed.

 

[Wissenschaft]

Melee attacks ignore evasion but don't remove evasion. However, melee attacks can make a mech unsteady, and that removes evasion completely.

 

[Danwolf]

Here's something to also potentially add, when attacking / moving you can see the chevrons around the enemy mech, these also indicate weapon range:

• Orange = Perfect Range
• White = Too far
• Red = Too close

Spoiler

Probably worth cropping it more maybe.

Edit second grab maybe a lot better just doesn't have the red one

 

[Steak_Battalion]

I glanced over it and I didn't see anything about mech facing and how that changes the % of hits, but this is still a great tutorial for new people. I hope the mods sticky it.

Great work - seems like a perfect way to start whatever wiki the community will decide to use
