Its been 4 months since I stopped playing MWO. Has anything changed since? I'm having problem finding any patch updates. Just too many forum sections.

Here ya go

http://mwomercs.com/...61-patch-notes/

[Redshift2k5]

New mechs (Jagermech, Highlander, Trebuchet, next mech due this month), new Hero mechs, a new type of premium mech (Champion Mechs, cheaper than a Hero Mech)

New maps (Tourmaline Desert, and the next new map is due very soon)

Weapon balance changes (missile nerfs in particular to take some of the bite out of SRM boats)

New modules (consumable coolant and consumable airstrikes/artillery strikes, relatively weak)

For what is coming up this month, check http://mwomercs.com/...director-update including a new mech, new map, more fancy camo, and deployable UAVs

Thanks guys, in other words nothing to actually fix the problems of the game. People still TK and cant be reported. Dead teammates still giving out positions and no way to report them. The options menu is still just as vague. AFKs in every battle without getting banned. Uck :/

There is a report fonction, you need to email the support. And I think its a really good thing it made you asking this simple question :"is this worth my time to email the support for this guy ?", resulting in less impulsive report.

If you really think TK is a problem then you should ask yourself "why people tk me ? Am I a jerk to my teamate somehow ?" I have more than 3000 games and I can count the number of times I have been TK on one hand.

Also people who hide in order to keep their precious k/d deserve no mercy the worse are those who disconect, they are the one that should be reported not the helpfull guy that give his position. You want a good k/d ? Play better no other way.

AFK ? Well sometimes it mean their game crash so many times it would result in unfair report.

+ with this relatively huge SRM nerf the death of brawling and the enforcement of PPC:Online.
Not complaining here (since I'm doing it too), but the game gotten a little bit "one-dimensional" due to the fact that you can now have a jumping assault capable to deliver a 45 pts. alpha at 500+ meter directly into your face.

Probably come back, check it out and take a break again if you don't like what you see.
Guess the balance (and therefor the gameplay-experience) will shift quite often until a final release.

I never saw a lot of TKing or dead teammates calling out positions before. I do even less now. You can report them by emailing support. They do have logs they can check, but it's not a fast process as they have to thoroughly investigate.
In the options menu, be sure to uncheck "arm lock" and "throttle decay" They changed some of the controls so unchecking will revert the behavior.
AFKs still exist, but ever since rewards were lowered for simply winning, they have mostly disappeared. AFKs now are mostly a result of crashes.
Also, since you've been gone, we've gotten a ELO matchmaking system. Some like it some hate it. It depends on how good you are I think. Also, just this week, there was a hotfix for finally fixing the HUD bugs!
