Syllogy, based off of what you have/haven't moved in the latest changelog, you seem to still feel that UI 2.0 is May/June (which is what is was supposed to be). Do you feel that assumption is correct after the AMA, when "late summer" was stated?

Yeah, I saw that. I am going to wait and see what info is on the May Dev Update and the latest Ask the Devs answers before I change the UI timeline.

If nothing shows up about UI 2.0 being May/June, I'll push it back. If they say that it's around the corner, I'll leave it there.

Well, it's official as Bryan twitted it today. The Next consumable WILL be the UAV.

Testing the new UAV consumable. Very cool! Even uses the original 2009 video model!

"The clan warfare's going to come out after launch. It's going to roll out within the first two to three quarters after launch and it'll start with some basic content and then the players will be able to join the clans and then they'll be able to buy the clan tech."

Are the clans coming? Yes. When? After launch? How long will that be? No hard deadlines. That's the most recent info we have.

Was that the scouting device used in the original video (using the Unreal engine) that seemed cool at the time?

Yeah, that's the one they're referring to, the one that launched out of the Mech and into the sky.

Has there been any mention to overheating reactors/self distruction or pilot ejection systems. I'm not for self distruction I know that would just ruin games because of goofballs, but still what ever happened from ejecting from a mech. Maybe like you can gain some extra c-bills if your about to be destroyed and you pull one off sucessfuly?

[PureRiffs]

Just saw the post about the heat and night vision only being shown on the glass of the cockpit and not the whole screen.

I have just realised how awsome this would be to the overall look of the game when in alternative vision modes =)

Plz bring this in as soon as lol

So what is the status of painting hero mechs? The top posts is still saying April...unless they mean April 2014, this is obviously not going to happen.

What is the current timeline?

[Deathlike]

Serious new info for hotfix in near future (possibly slated for this Friday with the new sale/end tourney, assuming all goes well):

No explosions on the board for dead mechs. The reasoning behind this was to prevent suiciding light mechs.

Sorry, will get it fixed. Look for it sometime in May.

Thanks!

[EvilCow]

I really appreciate this renewed effort to inform the community.

Good job.

Except 3PV of course

[Helbrecht]

im curious as to where you saw the jumpjet shake from a dev aparently i missed that post.

[Volthorne]

Also don't forget to include that Hero 'Mech painting is FINALLY going in on May 7th (check Brian's Twitter, or the dedicated thread by Thontor - he deserves credit for posting that info to the forums).

[Arcturious]

Yes, where was the info on JJ shake so I can go harass them immediately about it.

/rant mode engaged

For me this will be THE WORST POSSIBLE THING they could do. No way should this go live. A permanent functional change, to alleviate a small, temporary play style? The ruination of casual JJ users? Brawling JJ on Cat-C1's? Say good bye to all the legitimate uses of JJ. Strip them off your mechs now, waste of tonnage. All so some tiny loud minority on the forums doesn't have to deal with an imaginary, specific issue that they will have forgotten about in two weeks when the next laser pointer flashes before their eyes. Meanwhile all JJ users will still be dealing in perpetuity with the cumbersome game mechanic that eliminates skill and adds a random component to your playing. Hell while they are at it, why not give all weapons a chance to jam? I hate that those damn gauss rifles can be fired at me all the time! It's not fair I tell you! They should have a chance to jam when they shoot me! I require this in order to enjoy the game so I can play it exactly how I want to without having to think about anything other than pew pew pew. FIRE ALL LASORS!

/rant mode disabled

In all seriousness, I hope this was a troll addition to the upcoming features and not an actual, serious possibility though.

Can you tell I'm incensed? Oh I am. I am indeed lol

Some interesting tidbits on HUD issues:

At least they have a source, but good luck on the ETA.

[Deathlike]

ETA for HOTFIX is Friday (or, really 10+ hours from this post):

Thanks! I will get those updated.

Confirmation of the Hero mech repaint being available May 7th from Bryan's Twitter.

Also, he mentions the UAV consumable being pushed back one patch.
