I very much agree.

Does anyone with a good memory for grid coordinates know if the Viridian Bog coordinates match up with the most common spot on the steps that swallows up King Crabs and other big, JJ-less mechs every few games?

Yes Dan I believe it's the spot in D4 they are reffering to, just next to the steps onto the higher ground platform

First, the name changes... 4500 MC to a pure F2P is worse than overkill. 3000 MC would be more suitable for extra changes, and I personally HATE griefers, trolls, disconnectors, and the awful like with an insane vengeance! Also, a single fresh spare change should be allotted every year, without allowing several to stack up, in order to give those who made honest mistakes a chance to change away before they can fall afoul of any possible madness that shouldn't befall them. Add a '1000 MC'/'10 Million C-Bill'/'10K GXP'/'50K Current Mech XP' loss (whichever PGI would take the discretion of grabbing) as a penalty if PGI has to jump on someone for abusing the ability to change their name, and that should make the name change system virtually perfect!

I agree with Matt that changing or selecting a name is to be taken seriously and by that I believe the name is what you are identified with on the battlefield. It gives you reputation and integrity, and I'm sure that most of the veteran players won't use this option.

I also agree with D V that putting a price of 4500 MC is an overkill, I think any MC price above 2000 is good 'cause it makes you think before you act. So, using in game currency or expirence points in my opinion shouldn't be used.

You get an option to change your name, if you misspeled it FOR FREE!!! How good is that?

It kind of reminds me of cosmetic surgery, there is only so much change you can go through, before ..., well you know

The challenge and the mech sale both end at 19.00 CET. And the patch is available from that same time on. Prior to that time the patch is unavailable.

Featuring mostly even elevation throughout and a high degree of visibility in day or night, Polar Highlands draws its inspiration from some of the open-range map designs seen in previous MechWarrior titles.



a reduction to the Cooldown time for all Gauss rifles

Can we please have:

Agility quirks for the HGN-IIC.
Structure (especially LT) quirks for the ON1-IIC
Some kind of quirks for the Shadow Cat. There are other Omnis that are in a worse place, but this one is low hanging easy to fix fruit - its already fun as hell to drive, just cant handle the heat on the loadouts that make sense. 10%-15% heat gen would fix it enough imo.

[K19]

Fix Victor plz "arms to bad" plz . Nice fix good work need more go go :DDD

[freud2b]

Improve Gauss, it's great and most necessary ... but only -0.5s is not much .

AC20 is at 4s and it has no pre-load , as the Gauss.

4 or 4.5s would be better for Gauss, not 5s .

4500 MC to change your name? Come on guys. I appreciate the added feature but 4500 is silly. It should be free. I know you need to pay the bills and keep the lights on but do it other ways. Changing your name shouldn't cost a thing.

[Desintegrator]

Fantastic job PGI !
You didn't put 45.000 trees into the new map Polar Highland and that's great !

We don't need trees, and if we do we don't need so many...

The first name change is free, its only after you have used your free name change will it cost you. The high price is to ensure people dont abuse it by being toxic to people for a few games and then name changing out of being reported.

Also your name is how you build a reputation, earn honor and acknowledgement. If you cant handle having a Handle responsibly, you will only be punished by yourself.

[Blobfisch]

When I go to the name change page it looks like the normal profile page... I do not recognice any options to change my name :/
And you can see that I was clearly not myself when I named my pilot
Nevermind I got confused about the time... the patch will be released in about 1 hour....

And maybe some bonuses for Ice Ferret that is almost useless atm.

Too early for that. The patch didn't go live yet.

• Emerald Taiga: Trees are now breakable (all 6000 of them).

Again I want a new achievement:

Knock down 100- Get to da Chopper
Knock down 1000- Me and my Ax!
Knock down 10,000 - I am a lumberjack and I'm ok

Well, see, that's the thing... a name is tied to an account. If you change your name, it is still tied to the same account.

So if you change your name from "Bob Kerensky" to "Tommy Rotten Rocks" or "Urmamaisa****" and act like a troll in the game, you'll get reported on each name but they'll all roll back to the same account. The moderators will know it is the same person.

They can't hide by changing their name if they want to create problems.

And the LBX, Flamer, and Machine gun still remain bad. Goddamit PGI, it's been years!

That's how I'm starting to feel with every passing patch, good sir; and that's why my wallet is shut until they're fixed. I want to throw money at MWO, but right now I just can't bring myself to do it (which is hard, damn-it, because I want a Rifleman and I am really looking forward to many of the other classics, too).

They've mentioned Targeting Computers and MASC for February (Russ on Twitter, of course), so here's hoping that they're planning on doing a major component balance pass now that they've done -at least the first round of- their mech balancing pass.

EDIT: Oh, and love the comics and parody thread, by the way. Satire is wonderful when used effectively.
