This weekend we have a dangerous mission, only for our bravest MechWarriors. Reports of invasion on the outskirts of one of our classified territories ripe with resources, but rarely in conflict. Your mission: Assault Recon. Attack the region at with a full military battery and counter the insurgency.

To support this tactical endeavour, ComStar has reduced the MC price of the Atlas AS7-D-DC, Victor VTR-9S and Highlander HGN-733C by 35%. Intimidation will be key to the success of this mission; get select patterns and colours for 50% off!

And for MechWarriors who are too busy fighting in other regions, support your Assault Recon colleagues by mounting the Atlas, Awesome, Highlander and Stalker statues on your dashboard for 50% off the regular MC price. Grab these deals in the Store between March 7th 10am PST and March 11th at 11am PDT.

Meh.

How much for a Hotfix for the frame drops and stuttering since the last patch?

Interesting... Never heard of a Hunchback with that designation... is it a new variant? :lol:
(PS: I think someone's fingers where hoping for Hunchback, though the sale is for the Highlander!)


I do wonder, does this cammo sale only apply to those mechs, or any assault? One way to find out I guess.

How about the horrible FPS drop since the latest patch, will you fix it?

What a joke, with the turrets there is no need for recon in assault...

This sale would have only made more sense had you not nerfed them all (JJs for the Highlander and Victor, hitboxes for the Atlases).

This comment has nothing to do with this sale. Belongs in the Patch Feedback, or possibly even with support.

Though I would have to ask, are you trying to use DX11, or the DX9? I have seen no performance changes using DX9, but I have a rather strong machine set to lower settings (to keep my video card from overheating itself).

Bummer, I already own the VTR-9S.

How about a sale on a 9B :lol:

Someone at IGP was sleepy when they wrote and didn't spell-check this this.

Hmm, might still get me some paint.

Yes I'm very well aware of that it shouldn't be posted here.. anyway:

Both Dx9 and Dx11... and apparently there are many others with the same issue.

Well they are assaults. They are supposed to be 'assaulty' ie heavy and slow.

That's not quite what I meant. To make the most of a sale, you want to sell the mechs at their glorious peak... not at their points of decline.

Though I'm scratching my head as to why the Highlander Champion build isn't on sale (it's just the regular 733C that's on sale).
