Jenner - 118.8 km/h

Raven - 97.2 km/h

Spider - 129.6 km/h

Locust - 129.6 km/h

Commando - 97.2 km/h

Cicada - 129.6 km/h

By lore, the Cicada is as fast or faster than every single mech in MWO right now yet is actually slower than every mech on that list. Yet, despite that, the Cicada is now the slowest fast mech in the game. How does that make any sense?

At this point, it's kinda irrelevant. How much more of an engine cap would you want to increase for the Cicada, that would allow it to carry any semblance of weapons?

Oh, great! So, now, with a Champion, Premium, and First Victory of the Day in that order, I'll get 3.3x XP (1.1 * 1.5 * 2 = 3.3), instead of the old way where I'd only get 3.3x XP (2 * 1.1 * 1.5 = 3.3)?

Woot! Battlemasters at long last... now if we could just see about getting the Timber Wolves and ClanTech it would be even better...

[JuiceKeeper]

nice patch guys and i would like to say thanks for additional colors which came with hotrod camo was nice surprise to find something extra

[Asmosis]

can we get some visible explosions for artillery and air strikes? it doesnt need to be planes flying over or anything (although that would be cool) there doesnt even need to be a projectile landing but its kinda disappointing to see smoke go up, watch it then a little while later it goes away.

Its like lighting the fuse on a dud firework.

Still no 1PV-only...

Fantastic trollng first post.

Nice work PGI, another big step in the right direction by the sounds of things. People, please keep the feedback (positive or negative) constructive.

Got up early to see all my shiny new mechs... will play the game when I get home from work tonight and check it all out.

Whiz.

No, because they were already head-and-shoulders clearly better than every other light mech, and still are, even though they didn't get any buffs.

Im tryin to think of some mathematical way for that patch note to make any sense.

I dont want an engine cap increase, I want an engine speed increase so that at max engine I'm at least faster than a Jenner. In a max armor, max engine with Endo and FF a Cicada is slower than a Jenner and has less tonnage to put on weapons than the Jenner.

The only "advantage" the Cicada has is the extra armor, but since this is a Cicada we're talkin about the only actual important number is 4. Thats the amount of extra armor on the CT the Cicada gets for goin slower and havin less weapons than a Jenner. Not to mention the XL 340 is horrible for weight/hs efficiency.

Will not be in as it has been polled and accepted by community to be only for 12-man premades.

[Vernon Jettlund]

I cannot wait for the patch to finish and jump into my Spiders and outrun all others in Reverse! I CAN SHOOT BACKWARDS!

Paid $20 for a machine gun 20ton mech with 10% lp bonus. Not even early content :/ Even the speed increase on the Locust is overshadowed by speed increase on 5K which is just generally now better mech...

Well, as near as I can fugure it, you got $13.50 woth of mc in 3 mechs plus mechbays. the other $6.50 got you th 10% Loyalty Point bouns and a 30% c-bill bonus.

[MischiefSC]

Alright. Fair enough.

Very well done and the mechs look cool. The patch notes were great, the 'thank you' was great, the mechs look great. if I hadn't just paid a truly *stupid* sum of money to move today (why am I always surprised when everything takes longer and costs more than originally quoted?) you'd already have my $80. As is, please keep Phoenix around for a couple of weeks so I can get it without having to explain dropping $80 on a box of digital toys less than 24 hours after a 'here's what we're going to have to sacrifice to pay the bills this month' conversation.

Last couple of patches have been great. Last two weeks or so of communication have been excellent and much appreciated. Crimson Strait is 7 shades of sexy and I look forward to delaying the XP gain of every Phoenix mech I see until I get my own because, well, I'm jealous. Bitterly bitterly jealous.

The cannons recoil now. Except LbX. Pretty damn sweet.
