Ok, help me out...

Why am I applying 19 patches (that'll tell you how long I've been AWOL) and getting ready to play again? Summary of great reasons to be back or not would be great

[Sephlock]

The Jagermech.

[Roadbeer]

Because nobody likes a quitter.

Hot Pink Highlander. More than enough reason to come back.

So you can experience fractals.

[Lazydrones541]

Because you can?

That might do it...

[Sybreed]

I'm all kinds of disappointed now...

I like to think, that in some small way, I've raised that bar.

I swear we get as many coming back threads as quitting threads. I think they cancel out

More than, I think. People who are actually quitting rarely post about it, they just go do something else.

Anyways, there's all sorts of new stuff. If you're applying 16 patches, there's a ton of new content and gameplay polish to see.

Two (fully) new maps, lots of new mech types and hero mechs, new end-of-round and start of round screens which really do add a lot to what we had before.

People will wail about balance, but that always happens. It's really not bad right now, despite the game having moved to a more ranged/direct fire meta instead of ranged w/ missile or brawling.

Missile hardpoints are now the weakest, instead of being the strongest, hardpoints, but not by such a huge margin as people like to make out. They're about as much weaker than ballistic/energy hardpoints as they were stronger before.

All in all, the game is doing well, and growing regularly. We'll be seeing 12v12 inside a month, and the rest of the Highlander variants in 2 days.

You knocked down the pole and set fire to it. Stop being modest>.<
