Oh wiel ....
As to "remove glare of windshield" ... you ever noticed the properties of the car´s windshield (I really hope you own) when it´s building up all the beautiful fats and residues due to usage ... they reflect light !

As far as the windshield theres a difference between that and a monitor, and a thing called a focal point, oh, never mind, you wouldn't listen anyway.

Are you even allowed into the kitchen?

Haven't found a successful match yet...but that's probably because people aren't aware that the PT servers are live right now. Either that, or only the front end is available ATM.

Is it mentioned in the game client somewhere?? as remember the majority of their target audience doesn't read the forums

no mention of it that I've seen so far...

[Mister Blastman]

So are the SRMs going to be in or not be in tomorrow?

[Davers]

It's a trap to lure all the forum posters into one place so they can fry our computers.

Is there people to drop with yet?

Not able to drop yet either.

Oh well. I bet I can blow through 50000MC on paint and camo in two hours. :]

They never claimed SRM fixes... just "better visual hitdetection" for client+server (they would still be borked, but less buggy).

This Public Test is for the 2nd patch in April, not the 3rd patch (Launch Module).

[Mister Blastman]

All I give a damn about at the moment is hit detection fixes and balance changes. Everything else is pointless. Soooo the initial post was vague about tomorrow and the hit detection fixes. If there wasn't a line break I'd assume he means the 15th but there was... soooo...

[Nacon]

Are we able to download the test client during the down time?

[Chronic Rune]

Then new hero raven "Huginn" has 4 Ballistics, 2 Missiles, 2 JJ, and a 300 engine cap, it is literally a giant flying locust......

The post is very specific; the Public Test includes tomorrow's patch AND the patch on the 15th.

They specifically say that the content for the patch on the 15th will include the fix for hits not registering when you see them hit. Thus, if you see the missiles hit the target, then they HIT the target.

There shouldn't have been a line break then if this is so.

And if it is so... we have to live with this soggy crap for two more weeks. No thanks. I can play other stuff 'til then.

Really should differentiate what is for each patch so no one expects everything tommorrow

Remember the difficulty in trying to get PGI to post hotfix notes? Yea...

It's very clear to see which patch will have which features.

Here is the sneak peek from tomorrow’s patch:

• New Hero ‘Mech
• New Champion ‘Mech
• Multi-mode select (1, 2, or all 3 modes)
• Turret Health is 100 (was 150)
• Missiles speed is 150 (Was 175)

And here is content you are testing for the 15th patch, which we would sincerely appreciate your feedback on!
‘Mech Spawning:
• This should prevent ‘Mechs from spawning in front of you and dropping to the ground at the round startup.
• If you get odd behavior around mechs spawning at the beginning of the match we want to hear about it in the Public test forums.

Server Side Missile impact effects.
• Now if you see a missile explode on impact on a 'Mech, you can be sure the server saw the same thing. This is the first step in getting Srms and Streaks to be balanced again. Try them out and let us know what

They list what's going to be in on the 1st (tomorrow's patch) and then what is going to be in on the 15th. Not sure what the confusion is about.

Line breaks!

It is poor formatting for one. Only caring about hit registration is another. Matt Craig said they were shooting for April 1st for the server side stuff. I'm tired of waiting and I bet others are too.

Well, it could be worse.

We could have actual lurmaggeddon patches that pass through QA.

God, I hope so much that it is.

Public Test servers went live early so grab the test client and start playing, due to the early start player volume is low so head in and help knock down the wait times.
