I am sure, one or two player from the little peninsula named Europa, could help you too... If my calculations are not too wrong, it happens there between 21:00-03:00, so in the best game-time...

But I know, you never heard from other timezones, except PDT/EDT... I am right?

( Because, then you would use them sometimes. )

+100, please write Europe time so rus and eu players can manage their time without googling: what is PDT and how it's cooked.

When will the patch be out for PTS? Would like to download before it happens. Missed last Public Test because the patch took too long to download.

Unfortunately, it might be when the "patch hour usually happens" (10AM PT, 1PM ET).

[Nometh]

A public test during prime time for European players in which you get a glance at the new launch module? And on top of the fun you get a free day of premium time as a little bonus? I'm in!

I really really don't like the idea of the 3/3/3/3
I mean i would love to be positively surprised by it, but atm i am very sceptical towards artificially limiting team diversity.

I'm going to assume (and you know what that makes one lol) that considering members need to be registered by: "Players who have registered to MWO before 10:00am PDT (1:00pm EDT) on Wednesday, April 23rd, 2014 will be eligible to participate in the Public Test." that the patch won't be available until that time. That gives a 2 hour time span in which to download and install before it goes live.

Correct me if I'm wrong Niko

Just loaded up the test again. will be patching when it lets me. I do like the video presented by BB Wolf but should mention that hosting the video on You tube does have one issue. it tries to match all associated videos or other items with it, including games like Evil Within.

[Sky Hawk]

Ah, there will be no problems, with the 3/3/3/3 system ... And, a good news too! In the future, we don't need to buy those very expensive REALLY BIG engines...

Why? Because, the enemys 3+3 ECM Raven-Spider-Commando/Cicada Teams will find and kill you very-very fast anyway. So it wil be make no sense for you, to move away from the Spawn Point, so you don't need to buy a Big Engine..

The matches will ends fast (in 1 or 2 minutes) for Assaults and Heavys.. But, Hey! We could calmly see in the Spectacle Mode, as our lights/meds killing the enemys Heavys/Assaulst and then those 12 ECM Mechs hunting each other...

So Be Happy! 3/3/3/3 comes!

I downloaded the installer, run it, first uninstalled the previous Public Test installation. I run in a second time, and then installed the program. After patching, I hit on "Play", and it says "Version Mismatch". I put it here because I havent seen a proper place to ask this...

You wish. A 4 man can take any meta mech they like. The 3+3+3+3 will not stop that even remotely.

you didn't have to do all that. Just download, and wait for the test server to be unlocked. If you already have downloaded the PTS then all you need to do is patch it. Just like the regular game server.

They have not put up the patch/files up yet, so at this moment, everyone who has downloaded is downloading what was on the PREVIOUS PTS.

The files are more likely to be updated closer to the time it is unlocked for everyone, so right now NOBODY can use it.

How "will I see" how much harder it will be when I can already tell you with the "restrictions" they have in place that a 4 man will be able to take any of the "best mechs" they want as long as it is not more then 3 of the same class.

I retort by telling you that you're just dreaming. I will entertain any ideas you have as to why you think it will stop a 4 man from taking 4 Meta mechs.

Prove me wrong.

At least it wont be 4 meta atlai.

or teams with just heavy mechs, and the biggest guns. The launch module is definitely a +

Where's my tiny violin when I need it?

Sarcasm is just awful and unbearable, but sarcasm that is making a really wrong point is worse.

1) Bad times coming for the heavy/assault dominance over the last 2 years? Explain again how that would be a bad thing.
2) You seem like such a Assault/heavy-only person, so why would you think you know anything about how light/medium pilots think? "They suck, so the only reason I can see anyone wanting to pilot one is if it has ECM." is a pretty poor generalization of the light/medium scene. The most common mediums used are Shawks, Griffins, and Hunchies, and light pilots don't exactly ignore Firestarters and Jenners.
3) MM grabs players at random from an ELO bucket. The chance of getting a combination of all ECM variants is less than likely.
4) We have no restrictions now. What's stopping this ECM-pocalypse from happening now? Furthermore, what would stop it from happening with straight tonnage caps?
5) Its not like we don't have plenty of tools to counter ECM now: BAP, ECM in Counter Mode, Drones, PPCs, Narc, Tag... Pick one to put on your alpha strike, pop-tarting meta build and quit crying.

Who is trying to stop players from taking Meta Mechs?

We will now see 3 Assaults (Meta), 3 Heavy (Meta), 3 Medium (Meta) and 3 Light (Meta) Mechs.

You can't stop Meta, it is a Player creation. Don't like Meta, don't play a Meta. Can't compete without Meta? Carry harder.

There is no such thing as a Meta Atlas. 3 Atlas + 1 Orion is still possible and will likely happen.

Launch module gets a "meh" at best. I'll be here 2 weeks after it goes live listening to the new Boogie Man Excuse as to why a team lost.

Another one of PGI's lets change multiple things and hope one of them fixes it, no idea which one though!

Elo Buckets should be the first and ONLY thing patched in. See how that affects the game. If you just match skill better then the mech class matters much less.

I agree, I don't even use "Meta".

I was just simply telling this player he is dreaming.

Basically more of the "evil premade" that people think is going to be fixed with the module.
