It's the last note before misc bug fixes, that seems right for a reskin.

I guess. IMO, less important than bug fixes. (Shrug). Don't mind me. I just saw "mobile" and thought it meant it actually was. That would have been a real change. Re-skinning is fine but meaningless.

[Doctor Proctor]

The mobile base is just reskin, it won't move in the matches. It's just there as a visual tweak to give Assault a unique look instead of using the same resource collectors as Conquest. It's a small change, but should be a nice one.

And yes, eventually these will have turrets that will fire on players attempting to cap your bases. I think that's coming in the Feb 4th patch, but I'm not 100% sure. Most of this info was given by Russ in the most recent NGNG podcast, of which there is a breakdown overview that someone did on the forums.

Hardly in my eyes. 30 - 40 pts to the chest is still in the chest.

Yes, but if you're a Catapult pilot, for example, that 30-40 pt alpha is now less likely to one shot you with a headshot and more likely to just impact your CT.

Mobile Command Base being not mobile will be funny

People still take Catapults?

Well, thinking it through, it sounds like the "M" in "MASH." Silly knee-jerk on my part. Sorry. Nothing to see here.

I see quite a few K2's out there still, as well as A1's boating LRM5's/Streaks/SRM6's. Plus there's the Jester that just got released.

All I ever see is Highlanders, Victors, Stalkers and Cataphracts jumping up and down spreading blue jam.

True. And just like MASH, just because it can be moved doesn't mean it's moving right now.

Right. Or could be moved in a 15-minute timeframe.

Drop with crappy PUGs to lower your Elo more, you'll start seeing all sorts of stuff.

Often bases dig in when they get to a front, so it's not really that unusual.

Tried the Crusader Camouflage and loved it. Works great on on the Quickdraw `Mech.

How? The launcher is still locked in maintenance mode. Did they have it available during the UI 2.0 test or something?

Untill I can put it on a Crusader, I'll pass.

Probably, new content was in that (they mentioned Cockpit glass at least).

Yupp both the BM, glass and the new camo was in the Ui test It looks pretty neat actually, especially on humanoid mechs.

All in all a pretty boring patch.

Do we need to keep reminding you, PGI, that game play hasn't changed substantially since closed beta; and you have over promised and under delivered to your player community. That same community who are also stakeholders via the funding we gave you in Founder Pack and the Phoenix Pack sales.

[Will9761]

I wish we could have some weather effects to show off the glass.

Their plans for the next 3-4 months have been published. What did you expect today?

Snowstorms in Frozen city, water in Forest colony, Joru and .. the new map.
