Bryan confirmed it on the Podcast today. Flea will be after the Blackjack and Orion.

If it makes you feel any better, part of the reason they are delaying it is so they can raise the speed cap and get MASC introduced.

Yes, it was confirmed that the 19th was a typo.

@Syllogy - The OP in the section "In Development*, but no ETA:" list Mech Cockpit Models. Isn't this in game now and has been since the 3/19 patch when the cockpit vanity items were introduced, or does this item refer to something else?

Something else. I asked Garth about it earlier in the month while he was on TS.

Basically, it is a vanity item that resembles the Mech you are actually piloting. The weapons load-out, paint job, and (hopefully) current animation that the mech is performing, and damage taken will all be seen on the model in the cockpit.

Did they really say the champion is the next mech? I just want to make sure that my eyes aren't going on me

[BadgerWI]

Oh that champion. .. that's different then:-)

Thanks for the change-log addition!

You're not fixing LRMs until MAY?

For the love of God, please at least give them a damage bonus until you can undo that nerf.

There is speculation that Tuesday will actually have the fix, but I can't find any documentation on it.

So happy the 19th was confirmed a typo. HSR coinciding with Highlanders? It's like my Birthday and Christmas got together and had a love child called 'Squeee'.

UAV should be moved from Concept to In Development/ETA, as it is literally being developed before our eyes if you look at the past few client side patches.

The client files have had a number of changes to them regarding UAV over the past month, so clearly it is being actively developed.

[Syllogy]

I did some sweeping changes today in prep for the patch tomorrow, and also to clear out some very old intel that was either outdated or was already implemented.

Also, I moved up the UAV from Concept to Development, as irony1999 pointed out, the client files do reflect that it is in a serious development stage.

And, as will be the norm, the changes have all been documented in the Changelog. As a reminder, the Changelog will keep a 1 week rolling log of all changes, additions, and removals to the tracker.

Learned from Thad Jantzi, Senior Level Designer, on NGNG Mechs Devs and Beer #10 today that eventually we will be getting changes to how terrain effects mech movement. Moving through water, climbing up steep slopes, etc.

The maps, like Alpine, are apparently designed with the intent that mechs won't be able to climb those steep slopes.

But the features just aren't in the game yet to prevent that capability.

No ETA on when these features might be going in.

Preventing all mechs except ones with jumpjets from accessing most of the mountains would be rather foolish and remove the three dimensional nature of combat on that map in favor of very confined, restrictive valley combat and extremely long boring walks that can currently be shortened by traversing mountains in the same manner as we have done in previous MW titles. Hopefully it won't be quite as bad as it sounds. Mechs already can't climb the steepest faces, and the ability to climb the others is important to gameplay.

What Alpine really needs: Mechs on Skis

[GizmoGecko]

Confused why the Highlander is listed under the 16th when it is set for the 19th on the April Update, despite your post being updated today ? Apologies for my pickiness.


Just been reading through all the comments and have conclusively caught whispers of the dates being typos? Is there evidence?

Let us hope the patch doesn't disappoint.
