Servers will be coming down at 10:00 PDT/17:00 UTC to add the weekend sale. We also have to do maintenance on our backend services, because of this maintenance the client will have to be patched so our downtime will be a bit longer today. Sorry for any inconvenience this will cause.

Estimated Downtime: 30 mins.

All systems nominal. Enjoy.

Just a quick note to let you know you're getting your times wrong. You aren't taking into account daylight savings time, so in fact you are taking servers down at 10am PDT which is 17:00 UTC/GMT, not 10am PST which is 18:00 UTC/GMT.

Posting from the UK where it is currently 17:10 GMT.

I took the whole day off, to play for exactly one half hour, and had killed an entire team except for one DC player and I was going to use the number for my total damage on my lotto ticket, which, by my estimates was going to be the exact winning number! DAMN YOU PGI!

Does California observe Daylight Saving Time?

Like most states in the USA, Daylight-Saving Time (DST) is observed in California , where the time is shifted forward by 1 hour to Pacific Daylight Time (PDT); which is 7 hours behind Greenwich Mean Time (GMT-7).
After the Summer months the time in California is shifted back by 1 hour to US Pacific Standard Time (PST) or (GMT-8)

Change to PDT occurred on March 10th.

In California right now, if you look at your watch and you see 10:00, what you are reading is 10:00 PDT (Pacific Daylight Time). That's the same thing as 9:00 PST (Pacific Standard Time) but you changed your watch so that you are no longer showing PST. In February, when you looked at your watch and saw 10:00, you were in fact reading 10:00 PST. Does that make sense?

Why even distinguish between the two? Why not just say "Pacific" and everyone just knows that the time changed? Because there are places that don't participate in daylight savings time, like Arizona for example. We are on MST, always. When the rest of the folks in the Mountain time zone change their watches and go on MDT, we don't. We stay on MST all the time. So right now when i look at my watch and I read 10:00, that's 10:00 MST which also happens to be the same as PDT (California time) this time of year. Know what I mean?

The better question is why the heck did I take the time to post this? Nobody cares.

Hey Devs,

I noticed you changed the vision modes on this patch. I just got done playing a round of River City night, and noticed that the Night Vision was way too bright and contrasty, and the heat vision was, well I don't know what it was.

Any one have any thoughts on these changes?

I think its broken, just tried it out on Frozen city, and the mechs are as hot as the buildings...? can't differentiate mechs from snow nor building. Aren't mechs supposed to be hotter than the snow or buildings? I can understand changing it from what it was, but this is useless, at least have some color on the mechs...

Even the USER.CFG work around worked better than this version of Thermals...

Ninja patch! new vision modes! sweet!

[Yankee77]

Could be someone promoted vision changes in the production stream by mistake, or some such. Sounds strange they'd sneak in the changes with a sales patch.
