Greetings MechWarriors,

We're excited to be moving forward with a new build of UI 2.0; the next version of the MechWarrior Online user interface that offers a complete redesign of the game client's front-end. On Thursday Jan. 16, between 10am-12pm PST, and again between 4pm-6pm PST, we welcome everyone to test the latest changes. Download the client and login with your regular MechWarrior Online user credentials.

The focus for this test is to review launching, the customization of 'Mechs, and the social functionality. In particular, we look forward to reading your feedback on the customization process and your experience grouping in teams of 4 or less, including launching a match solo. Play the game as you would normally expect, and try to keep an eye out for functions that need improvement.

While the Public Test Server is a completely independent server environment, your user account data has been cloned from your regular game account as it appeared on Jan 7th. You must have created an account before Jan 7th, 2014 in order to participate in this public test. Note that if your password was changed after this date, your previous password will be required to sign-in to the Public Test client. Feel free to spend your MC/C-Bills in the Public Test environment, as this version of your account will not be ported back to the regular game client.

Additional Note: Content intended for next week's patch will be present in the Public Test environment, though the cockpit glass effect in certain conditions is stronger than it will appear next week's regular game patch. You can pre-download the Public Test client in preparation for the test, though note that you will only be able to login at the designated testing times listed in the schedule.

See the schedule and details of this test at: http://mwomercs.com/forums/topic/147754-2014-public-test-schedule/

Excellent news! I need to check out the known issues list...

edit: No known issues yet? Surely there has to be something. :)

Am I to understand that this PT we'll be able to group up and drop in a game? Cockpit glass sounds coool. Headshots commencing, me and my lance will be whittling the armor off our heads to see if it shatters! haha. I'll probably be around for both, trying to concisely assist in making the game better! Ignore the naysayers, they can't constructively assist in a game obviously...

Wait for the post-test feedback thread, then you can whine in chorus with the usual butt-hurt suspects.
