[A big brave boulder of meat]

It's almost that time! Let's hear what you think may or may not show up!

I have no idea what will come with this patch. I think I've been paying pretty good attention but I'm not aware of any information on what will be in this upcoming patch. Any ideas?

no, not the slightest idea... this is the first time that there is really ZERO upfront information available, on which we could properly speculate ...

i´d go for some bugfixes, a few balance tweaks ... well yea, that´s about all

Halloween sale removed and PROBABLY something else going on sale.


Getting excited about something "new" coming out is like watching a 1/2 mile turtle race.

*Crowd CHEERS them out the gate (feature announced and everyone is excited)
*1/2 way through most have got drunk and started fighting (IE forum rage)
*3/4 over most people have passed out or went home (what games has your group moved on to?)
*FINISH people still there are bored to death or just don't care anymore (except the ones who showed late).

I want 2 things
1) fix the game freezing I and others are having

2)Fix the matchmaker so it is actually useful and not 1 sided and/or just never starts with a team down 1 mech.

A surprise release of the Flea.

[Sybreed]

it's one of those rare times when I really don't know what we'll have

[verybad]

Not much. at all. Maybe some bug fixes, It doesn't seem like they've got anything big in the bag for tomorrow however.

This patch is looking.... verybad...

[Degalus]

Maybe Pulblic Testserver with UI 2.0?

[CeeKay Boques]

I thought the rest of the word was Satire. Ah well. Nothing in this patch is my speculation. Next week.

[MoonUnitBeta]

I won't expect much until April/May 2014. When UI 2.0 is complete, when the game is optimized, more balanced, when clans are out, community warfare is done. Actually... Make that August/Sept/Oct 2014 for some of the major key components. And I'm being serious. Given the track record, and the huge size, development wise, that Clans will be, and the full scope of Community Warfare. I think it's reasonable, and it's my expectation.

But short term, like everyone else, I'm not expecting much at all. I guess that UI2.0 PT is going to come eventually, along with DX11. And Community warfare.. well... seems like they're still working out the design of loyalists still. The UI for Merc Corps and infrastructure for all that to work... I don't except to see any of that until February, even if they have said that Community Warfare will come shortly after UI2.0 (what's shortly? shortly or soon have translated into a few months, not weeks). So we won't see all of it. Not at once at least. They'll put out as much as they can to create somewhat of a meta game for people to feast over while they go back, close the door, and grind out some more stuff for a few months later. And that's fine, it's what I expect.

Whatever is in the patch.....people will not be happy.

[Dracol]

Third patch of the month..not much be my guess. We get a champion mech this month yet?

[tayhimself]

Two patches a month means there is no patch this week. It's next week. Maybe UI 2 and DX11 will show up on the PT server on Thursday if we're lucky.

now with PP mania at the moment. I'm going with UI2.0 on PT. New modules. Balances, tweaks, bug fixes and maybe LP updates

[aniviron]

My guess? No patch tomorrow since it's the third Tues of the month.

I'd then also guess that the UI2 test is happening tomorrow to placate people who were excited for patchday.

Public test server goes live tomorrow with a barebones preview of UI 2.0. You will not be able to launch matches, but you will be able to try out certain features of UI 2.0 (with some known issues and bugs) and use the Testing Grounds.

As for the live game, I'm pretty sure we'll just have some bug fixes, some minor weapons balance fixes, and maybe a new camo pattern.

[MonkeyDCecil]

Next patch will be Nov. 5th. It will have U.I. 2.0 if everything goes well on PT tomorrow. And some hero mech.

There's a patch tomorrow, but it'll be mostly small bug fixes and tweaks.

UI 2.0 will not likely be in the live game until later in Nov or early Dec.

wrong.

its a patch every other tusday, and we have had 3 patch months in the past.


This one will be a small one, having LP added (unaffiliated but will be able to accumulate) is the only thing sated/slated for this patch. Nov5 patch is just the usual swapping of things and just a few bug fixes (command chair has one thing set for that date).


Unless they do skip this patch cycle and restart a new one in Nov.
