[color=#959595]In addition, I wonder how many people realize that the hero mech is being brought out before the standard mech in an attempt to entice more people to spend the MC because they just can't wait for the standard varients of such a popular rmech?[/color]

Are you suggesting that they are trying to make money from this game? Shocking how uncharitable people can be these days. We should all go to work for free..

Garth don't touch those servers, or you'll get targeted even more in your Twitch stream drops.

Really, everyone knows it's always Garth's fault. :(

While that joke was, for a time indeed funny, it's starting to wear.

And I am sure Garth only means well when he walks into work and "incidentally" kicks the servers and random evil things happen.

Gah, I'd love to know when the servers will be up again. Craving more chaos and destruction.

I wasn't suggesting that at all. I was pointing something out, which was that it appears as though content (in this case a new mech varient) is being withheld in this patch in order to entice players to spend money on the game. It lends itself to my concern that the game is not progressing at a pace that makes me think that a September launch is going to be anything but an ambitiously flawed plan.

I don't think so, I think the point is tighter groupings (more possible damage to a Mech). Though I might prefer the wider area coverage myself (better odds in hitting a mech in the first place).

No that makes sense. Decrease the area the bombardment happens ie accuracy increased to the area you pointed at.

Seems to be perfectly fine as a smaller zone hit by artillery / bombs means less spread of the projectiles fired.

Highlander hero mech.. does that mean it's JUST the hero mech, or the standard variants, too? O.O

I'm missing the line where it states the estimated down-time... or was it omitted on purpose? Or no one knows? Will the servers never be up again?

But...the servers...they're so cute and cuddly...

How can you not feed them after midnight (or noon in Canada)?

Personally, I don't have an issue with the Hero variant of a chassis coming out early, I buy all the Heroes just to have them except the stupid Deaths Knell.

The Air and Arty strikes look like they are being implemented in a way that won't ruin everyone's day. Poptart Cataphracts will be who I will be dropping mine on...but at 10 damage per hit, it wont even really be that noticeable unless a team is bunched up shoulder to shoulder and stands there for 3 or 4 strikes.

just because loads of people are talking about latest drivers and beta's and whatnot, I thought I would let you guys know at the time of writing 314.22 is the latest nvidia driver, no beta's have been released since this whql version. ATI lovers I have no interest in your inferior graphics card line(s) and therefore no information.

thats the pyre set and ready,

Flame on!

Also, the servers are usually back up around 3-4 EST so anywhere in there next hour I would expect them to be back
