Was wondering what tweaks you guys did to lava pit in the center of the map. I read in the patch notes that you increased a few things.
My issue is that I fell off the ramp above and down into lava pit. Ok no big deal I'll just run to the ramp and head up. My heat was never above 90-91% and my mech showed no damage being taken from the lava to tell me to quick run to the edge. Right as I reached the ramp and touched it.....I blew up. Kill report said lava killed me and yet I had shown no damaged taken from lava only 90-91% heat and i did not fire. Why did i blow up then?

the lava will (very quickly) increase your heat to 90-91%, at which point it starts dealing damage. I decided to test it after falling off one side, I tried to walk right across the center and here is the result:



Now, if that is intentional and lava is now a "GTF out now!!!" then bravo, I applaud that. If however light damage to my legs and an exploded cockpit is a bug, a fix would be nice.

I started taking light damage to legs/rear CT as I walked across, as I got near the middle my head started flashing and quickly lost all armor. If my mech was "underwater" that would make sortof more sense.

Yea thing was , my legs showed no damage what so ever. I had no idea I was taking damage....so no way to change my course of action. Not sure if my game was bugged or not or if this is a bug thats not worked out yet.

No, it's a bug. A bug resulting from more unneeded "fixes." I noticed this as well, and did fairly well in avoiding enemy 'Mechs until a Cicada decided to try to follow me along the lava. I turned shot him, and he exploded with me dealing only a few real damage points....

So yeah, it's all screwy at this point, but won't be fixed unless they have something better to do. (wait, shouldn't that be reversed?)

the heat penalty is good though, it basically means if you fire weapons in lava (center at least) you explode. unless they're MG's or gauss i guess.
