Hey everyone,

The server downtime for today begins, as usual, at 10am PDT. I'll update this as things progress, but we should be up and running by 1pm. See you starside!

Cheers,
The Garth

EDIT: And we are LIVE!

PATCHNOTES:

Open Beta Update #18
Upcoming Patch - Tuesday June 4th @ 10AM – 1PM PDT
Patch Number: 1.2.226


Change Log

UPDATE

Greetings MechWarriors

Get ready, this is your patch update in 3...2...1!

Oh the burning! TheJagerMech Hero "Firebrand" is here - the 30% C-bill boost is HOT! The custom paint job is HOT! The Hard-point layout is HOT (be careful or your build will run hot too)! I am going to buy one right now because it's time to master my JagerMechs!

I have a new favourite camo pattern and it is called 'Sherman.' It makes your Mech look like a WWII tank and you already own the perfect olive drab Green colour to go with it! So go get some Sherman Camo and storm the beaches of Forest Colony!

Ever wonder how your aim stayed perfectly stable while jump jets exerted enough force to lift all that tonnage off the ground? So did we! We had your mechanic take a look at things and turns out your Gyro was broken.... so we fixed it! You're Welcome. Here is a pro tip - Fire after you let go of your Jump jet thrust.

We also have also completed host state rewind for missiles (programmer talk for awesome missile network code) and some great improvements in this patch for the lance communication and coordination.

Patch up, get ready to drop, and we will see you on the Battlefield!

Matt Newman

They may end up posting it while the servers are down for maintenance so we can read it while we wait (I could be completely wrong though ;))

My hope is there is something big in this patch they don't want to spoil and we'll see the creative update later.

May's creative director update didn't come until after the first patch of the month. I wouldn't expect i until a bit later in the week (athough getting it at the end of the previous month would be a definite improvement!)

Okay, everyone... I don't think they forgot about a CD Update... and I don't want them to post it before it's done and finalized. Imagine what would happen if they kept that line in about the UrbanMech?

oh... wait...


... I wasn't supposed to mention that, was I?

Can't wait. Keen to see the patch notes! If missile HSR is in, I'll pretty much explode.

I'm interested in seeing if missile HSR has any impact at all.

Clan Tech?!?! Slow down buddy. I was thinking more along the lines of 12v12 or (at most) a sprinkling of CW.

Really hope the lag, hit detection and rubber banding is fixed... Game has been marginally playable (at best) since may 21st...

Right now I could care less about urban mechs, firebrands, 12v12 etc... I just want the game to work so I can start grinding for my Orions.
