Alright, so just basing this on past experience:
No deathmatch on the horizon means deathmatch is definitely coming.

Is that right?

According to Garth in Ask the Devs 32 Answers, Decals are on slate to be released with Community Warfare.

I would guess that this means that Decals will be released alongside in-game support for User-Created Groups.

Right...but "...on slate to be released with Community Warefare..." could mean anything from 4 weeks to 6 months.

I'd be looking for decals around May/June

Haven't seen evidence of that anywhere, if you can provide a link, I'll get it updated though.

My understanding is that DropShip mode will be a completely new game mode (like Conquest or Assault), which wouldn't, in itself, lend any reason to drop it in favor of lobby play.

I found the answer to this accidentally. And it isn't a lobby system. It is "Lobby Mode" simply a new name for what was dropship mode.

"DropShip" mode has evolved into Lobby a new gamemode for CW. We're not ready to discuss details yet.

Weird way to word it... but it's legit.

Also changed the Splash Damage note, so everything should be up to date now. Please lemme know about any other discrepancies.

Also added Heavy Metal Highlander from main page. This one could be a curveball, because if they stick with the current schedule (1 Hero Mech in the early month patch, 1 Chassis in the later patch), this could mean that the Highlander would release as a Hero Mech before the Chassis is released.

Some of the potential pitfalls are that you would not be able to Master the Hero Mech for 2 weeks, and that people would be screaming "Pay 2 Win!" for at least that long.

However, it could also mean that the Chassis itself releases next week, and the Hero mech would be released on April 16th.

Nice to see this topic pinned in Generál Discussion .
Keep up good work.

Great post, hopefully it should keep all those saying there is a "lack of content" quiet.

Stock Rhonda Highlander build suggests 4 MLasers. There's another aperture in left torso below SRM pack. Either this, or it's a NARC port.

ECM Changes at least 4 weeks out (As of March 22)

Where's the source? I haven't heard anything about ECM for a while now.

Great thread Syllogy, thanks for all the hard work.

I'm going to ask for one addendum: a list of confirmed mech variants. I remember seeing one somewhere months ago, but now I can't find it for the life of me (and yes, I used the search function). Any idea where I should look?

I'm particularly interested in which Blackjack variants will be headed our way in June

If they mention the variants, then I'll post them.

Until then, Odanan's Community Created Thread: Next Mech Announcements is a good place to look for Variants.

Also, mwowiki.org has a pretty decent Blackjack page that takes a stab at valid variants that may or may not show up.

This should work for any gamer on a budget.

Cool thread, always useful.

Do we think that we will we be seeing the hero Highlander before you can buy the regular variants, or will they all come together, or are we in the dark on that?

[Zoom2136]

Not sure if its an option now, but I would like to be able to cycle through the various mode REGULAR/NIGHTVISION/THERMAL/REGULAR/.../ETC. by pressing a single key.

Thanks for the update! Lets hope development goes smooth so these features have no delays. If you need extra cash you can always make "Garth" or "Paul" Jack-in-the-box dashboard items. They would pop out after receiving critical hits from cheese builds and repeat "It's only Beta" until your mech is destroyed.
