The Highlander and Fractal pattern are to be released on the 19th in their own cosy little patch (albeit a bit odd, although logically I'd rather they perfect their content than disappointed us), along with them having supposed to have 'revealed' the Champion 'Mech on Friday which must be patiently waiting to expose itself (just a screenshot or clarification or something regarding this possibly awesome souped up machine, but I'm pretty sure it's going to be that Community Dragon) ... So what's coming in tomorrow's Tuesday patch?

You LITERALLY had to scroll past that to make your thread.

You have made me look quite foolish... Thanks for the link though!

I'm still puzzled though why despite that post being updated today (15th), it still has the Highlander marked for the 16th when the April update stated it being set for the 19th, or maybe I'm just being picky. Premature apologies for my pickiness.

I'm a troll, it's what I do

There are actually two patches this week. Tomorrows patch, and an Elo/matchmaking patch at the end of the week. Tomorrows patch is the chocolaty patch, that has the good stuff. Think they just put the wrong date up for the 19th. The patch that's on the 19th is the spinachy patch, which, while good for us, just isn't as appealing.

A final thought on the topic. The alternating Tuesdays in both Feb and March were the 5th and the 19th. I think Bryan just got lazy when making his post and wasn't paying attention to the actual dates.

Because pgi is so incompetent, they can't even get their forum posts right. They also wrote the revealing of the champion mech at the 12th.

Ahh thank you for the info kind troll! I'm just overly impatient for the Highlander.

We all do, but it's systemic problem cause by the Forum Librarians who would grab the torches and pitchforks when a date was missed or changed.

Well to be honest I pretty much expect a really bug-infested game tomorrow that will be almost pointless to play until they hotfix it a couple of days later. There are just so many things that will be added it'd take almost a miracle if the patch would not break the game for a lot of players. I'm up for being wrong though!

Yeah I've seen very mean things on here in the past regarding percentage estimates of releases and things being altered, poor developers.

More positively however, there is speak of some of the April Update's dates being a typo for the 19th, regarding the Highlander http://mwomercs.com/...dated-april-15/ PRAISE BE!

Empirical evidence suggests you are correct.

You would think PGI had @#$%ed and beaten someone's Wife, Daughter, and the Family Dog (all three) by reading some posts around here.

But the Internet and Hyperbole are just the best of friends, so what can you do?

Who cares about them, the devs should not have made faces at my cat! That is just unforgivable, and must be paid back in blood!

I'm interested in fractal pattern.

Actually real digital camo patterns are somewhat fractal - smaller spots work when camo is observed close, and being distributed non-uniformely, they also aggregate in larger groups which break silhouette at distance, so it's a sort of self-repetition on different scales. I guess what PGI calls "fractal" - weird curved structures which are usually associated with fractal image?.. it can be anything.

Empirical evidence suggests that people have to play the game to identify the bugs missed internal testing. It also suggests that not playing and reporting bugs as you find them if you have the ability to do so is counterproductive to the development cycle.

Just sayin'.

I see your point, but when old bugs that have been around for months are still alive and shows up for a visit when you least expect it, it just makes one wonder: Are these legendary immortal cockroaches?

Some of column A, Some of column B.

Column B being low priority.

Also have to look at it as, "Is this something we're going to have to fix again for DX11? If so, why bother and jump off that bridge then." or something along those lines.
