Thats a Jagermech. You can see the shoulder "fin" thing as it explodes.

OK.. even if airstrikes still suck I might have to run a few just to watch the pretty place fly by......

I think it's the missile rack jager.

whats the MC cost of "Misery"

[Anais Opal]

- Quirks:
- 10% increase in turning rate
- 10% increase in acceleration

Any one notice that?? I'll assume it stacks with Hard Brake and Kinetic Burst.

So, PGI my dear,

Are those quirks going to be retroactively applied to already released Hero 'Mech's or are we starting to see P2W slide in oh-so-sneekily????

Thanks for the patch notes. The patch itself well, I am extremely meh about it.

Many have been clamoring for a "stability" patch, so this is kinda what we're getting.

The real good content has generally been in the MID-MONTH patch.. so I don't see why people are complaining about a system that has been applied for 3-4 months now.

because that system itself is a problem. The accepted system is why this game feels so stagnant.

[Nicholas Carlyle]

At most we are 9 patches from release. If you go by this concept of the good content only coming out mid-month, it means we have 4 maybe 5 good patches until release.

Is that ok with you?

What part of May 21st did people not get?

http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__2315318
http://mwomercs.com/...irector-update/

What parts quite simple. Sorry maybe I'm having a bad day. Missles were supposed to be addressed weeks ago (then we got splash blah, blah, bla). Patch 3 weeks later with what in it? The normal stuff. Also all of the fixes are "Expected" to see the 21st. Which means we could have had a few 2 weeks earlier or we won't see any fixes for a while yet. So yeah maybe I'm a bit jaded. I am sure I'll Patch the game today and have a blast, but dammit I feel like gripping right now so I guess I will. Now where's this damn space plane.

You do realize that such quirks are coming/have been coming (for a few patches) to every mech (hero and non hero)?

[jakucha]

I think the biggest hurdle is netcode. Once it works well for everything (all weapons as well as no longer limiting mech speed) they can focus on weapon balance and the good stuff.

[mekabuser]

bleh, 3 week edition.

[Thomas Dziegielewski]

I see a few things missing but so people don't think it's a bug :

-Mechs now stay targeted after they die for around 2sec so players can see how they killed the target instead of losing the target right away.


This was a feature a long time ago, but something broke and a new feature fixed it up again.

[Zyllos]

I am assuming that the Founder's mechs can not repaint, just hero mechs?

- Chat Color coding/User identification.

When I made the suggestion of color coded names, I was talking about ingame chat.

Mine went black and white. I'll run alongside someone who is white and black. We'll be Yin and Yang Yen Lo Wangs.

Thank you. You should have this edited into the patchnotes. I was beginning to think it was a bug. I do know I had kept shooting at someone long before I realized he was dead.

[Zylo]

Bug fixes are always good but I see no game balance changes and like many other players I am sick of PPC-Warrior online.

I guess I'll be playing... other games... for a few more weeks with other members of my merc corp until PGI can actually make some game balance changes to correct the current imbalance that favors only running long range high alpha builds. I just find the current long-range game very boring and not even worth my time.

Easy fix PGI: Put the PPC/ERPPC heat values back to the higher levels used in the past when the missile fixes go in.

good patch, 1st launch i get black screen drop to desktop :-/

Anyone got a picture of this new plane? I'd be pretty amused if it was actually the Shilone.

Also, did anyone notice this?

A new Trial 'Mech Champion! The Jenner JR7-F©. This is a legendary developer build that has been tearing through Atlas armour since closed Beta. Give it a spin and prepare to be tempted to purchase this Champion 'Mech on May 21st.
...
- Left Arm: 3 Medium Lasers
- Right Arm: 3 Small Lasers

3 small lasers tears through Atlas armor? After the 6MG Spider and 3 Second Jenner, I think it's time to recognize that the Dev's Atlai's rear armor is substantially different than our own.
