The C-bill Kintaro is pretty much certain. The adjusted mediums are suggested.

What else? Anything that's ready pretty much. We could hope for an unfinnished chunk of UI 2.0. Hit reg fixes. We just don't know.

What do you expect, what do you hope for?

Expect only the absolute minimum. Kintaro C-bill variants and maybe the medium adjustments. Anything beyond that is extra.

Would like to see something significant since release is fast approaching... a fix to hit detection... UI 2.0... anything big.

absolute bare minimum, twice as many added bugs, maybe a few more black holes to throw cash into and a barrel load of excuses

Apart from KTO - I expect only bad news: broken and disbalancing gauss/PPC desync and 3PV ("giving no tactical advantages and not splitting the community"). All hopes are long forgotten.

The very minimum. CBill Kintaros and, perhaps, their CT fix. Possibly light tweaks for the heat scale. About 8 new bugs / balance screw-ups. Maybe new cockpit items. Possibly that silly idea of the Gauss/PPC desync. And if we are really unlucky, 3PV.

Absolutely no UI 2.0. That would first happen on the test servers. As long as nothing new hits those, do not expect anything significant to hit the live version.

I like these guys because their expectations are so low :)

CT fix set for the third. So it won't be there. Supposed to see an "adjustment" for the AC/2 penalty bug (it's been stated as "too high and too sensitive." Punishes for 2 AC/2s chainfired. Does not punish 4 AC/2s alpha striked, although according to Smurfy it is supposed to).

It will likely include the introduction of 3PV.... with it most likely unchanged from the test server (perhaps w/o the bugs).

This bar has been set a while ago.

OK, thank you for correcting that. I still manage to somehow overestimate PGI by thinking they could take less than a whole month to reassign hitzones on a mech.

I don't know why but I am think it will not be much of anything but the release of the Kintaro which really doesn't take a patch to do.

We sure won't see an economy fix because it is obvious that the 1000s of matches done in the last two weeks isn't enough data to determine that we are getting shafted on rewards.

We also won't see anything important because we have a full month before they have to worry about a silly thing like release and it is equally obvious that none of the new features will need to be tested prior to being pushed live anyway.

I forgot one small thing: it looks like time to release new champion mech (and change the set of trials).

Obviously Kintaro

Likely:
Medium mech buffs

Possibly:
3rd person view? It was already on the test server, it can arrive any time now.
1st tutorial was mentioned not so long ago, but maybe it will have go through test server first.

And yes, missile jet engines will gain a slight color tint based on the atmosphere composition of the current map. /sarcasm

What I would like to see: cbill rewards restored to previous levels, and some compensation for my nerfed 2 weeks of premium time.
What PGI will probably patch in: Kintaro and some useless crap.
What PGI gets: none of my money.
End of story, time to go Sleeping Beauty until this game either becomes playable or just dies whimpering.

What I want (In order of preference):

Removal of ghost heat patch
Community Warfare
hit registration resolution
UI 2.0
3rd person view (sorry, but I've never had a problem with this being a feature)
Medium mech buffs


What I expect we will actually get (In order of likelihood):

Kintaro
Some pattern & colours that I won't purchase
More irritating an needless weapon changes that defy logic
Medium mech buffs
3rd person view
