Thank you Morgana. The 2 hour window was what I was looking for. Unfortunately I seem to be too stupid to figure out how to paste your post here.

[Morgana]

Ah but I was wrong as Niko pointed out. The quote stated to be registered by Wednesday, so yea, I misread it thinking it was the same day. Guess my glasses needed some cleaning lol

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!

That you believe this is, quite frankly, hilarious.

The public test client will not update as of 12 noon est. Will we be able to patch before the test???
I get a version mismatch notice.
Yes, I realize it is not live but it should update then say account not authorized.
I am hoping it will allow patching before the server goes live....

diversity as in?

Diversity as in that there can be teams which lead to different playstyles.
Maybe you get a team with 6+ lights and decide to blitz the enemy, maybe you get only slow heavys and try to dig in, while not 100% balanced, it might be more fun then seeing exaclty 3+3+3+3 every game, i would like it more if it was 2-4+2-4+2-4+2-4 for example

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.

1. I really think, that the Assault/Heavy dominance should be. You know, they are bigger and so.. And, I would make a 2/3/4/3 system insted of 3/3/3/3.

2. I played long time with my Jenners and Black Jacks, and I loved them. But, I am more fitted for more weight/armor/firepower. And I know what want a light/med pilot: just kill me.

3. But, when the most non-mastering player use an ECM Mech?... MM is not really a magus, it could coose just from those Mechs, which are there.

4. I don't know, but I would rather see a 2 ECM cap too...

5. I don't think that it would be there 6 BAP/etc., but... perhaps.

PS. I am not really sure, that my 5 ERLL Stalker is really meta... And if I could kill more than 1 lights under a week, probably I would not fear those 3+3 times.

Same issue as DarkBringer here

[jag rip]

its patching now. Try again

[Odwalla]

I get a "This account is not authorized" error when I try to log into the public test. Am I missing something?

Edit: Duh, I'm dumb. I thought it was starting 10 PDT. IGNORE ME!

Damnit Niko... could you guys maybe create an e-mail op-in for these kind of things? So you get a notice via e-mail about things like these. I would have loved to do this tonight, but I just saw the thread. Also, didn't notice anything in the game launcher.

-edit-
Who?
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.

I was referring to this, but registered to MWO as a player or registered, like in opt-in? I really should get some sleep.

But still, I do like the idea of a seperate mailing system for things like these.

You can patch now, but you need to wait 30 minutes UNTIL it is operational.

Important Note: The Test is being delayed by 10 minutes in order to remove what's left of the last test subjects correct a last minute issue. Please Stand By.

Also to clear out the test chambers that you flooded with a deadly neural toxin?

[LauLiao]

No. The neural toxin is a "feature".
