Please note that if you have over 100 days banked, it may trigger an error where your time is not immediately visible until activated. We will get this resolved ASAP.

I'm willing to help troubleshoot this. Please activate an additional 100 days of premium time on my account.

This is a fairly new feature. Rather than force players to wait for a visual implementation of it in the UI and options, we have enabled the ability to modify this immediately from the config if it is detrimental to your style of play.

Thanks for the explaination. Hopefully a UI option fix for this is coming. I got a few FPS back turning that stuff off.

So private matches are not what I expected. I thought it'd be a great way to test out strategies/mechs with a few of my friends (2-3) privately, but apparently you can't change the 'full teams' setting without premium time. Kinda dissappointed. It's effectively useless to me.

@Nikolai Lubkiewicz;

So, uh, I see we're still in maintenance.

Is there a li'l 3/3/3/3 somethin' somethin' in that down time?

Or we still just getting the mode selection hotfix for now?

Even the Biebs is looking forward to it!

So you better buy some time. Do you go to the grocery without money?

Leave it off. We should be able to play 4 man groups at whatever weight we want. This limits people. Give us the ability to make mech changes during the ready up phase of game entry and none of the current complaining about being outweighed will matter. Personally, I like mediums and will engage assualts one on one in my Shadowhawk. If ELO is so broken that weight matters, then you are looking for balancing in the wrong place.

...and I will never buy premium time, especially just to play private matches. I will boat LRMs in public before I do this.

I finally have Private Matches... I hope everything else works out for the Pubbies, I on the other hand care less for the 3/3/3/3, as 99% of my battles will be in PM's!! woot woot!!

No, but I also don't expect to pay to try their free cheese samples.

Discarding your misguided metaphor for a moment, I'd much rather try new mech builds/strategies in a private match where I'm not potentially letting my team down.

edit:
That said, I'm totally fine with private matches not awarding any cbills or xp.

Private matches are a WIN !!!!


as for the rest of the issues, pffftttt it is igp/pgi what did you expect

Indeed! That Aces Wild event proved that. Sooo glad thats working out. No more "Sry, miss sync."

[Edward Mattlov]

Yes, the Clan Jade Falcon vs Clan Ghost Bear trial went well and with only two stars in the battlefield, the game was lag-free. The trial was fought honorably adhering to the rules of Zellbrigen.

Next PATCH?!? ArghhhhhHH!!!!!

[Kotzi]

ye because 3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3 makes bad pilots so much better.

[Ayenn]

I understand there are things going on at PGI to fix the 3/3/3/3 problem. Cool.

aside from that, the one serious problem I have is how we are locked out of our mechlabs when we are in a privet match. This makes it very difficult to modify mechs we may or may not use when trying to match tonnage or trying to adhere to equipment limitations set for the match without having to back out of the match and then request an invite to get back in from the host.

I do not understand how this logical functionality was overlooked. This should be fixed ASAP.

When do we get hit detection fixes?

[IceCase88]

I do like the new cancel button when searching for games. My question is this though.... Why do you always make the buttons so they are not easily seen? Also, why do you implement these things without even mentioning them sometimes?

The private matches should've been implemented a long time ago. You probably would've kept players who were only playing because of the groups they were in. Maybe you can get some to return but it should've been in the game a long time ago among other things.

[BatduckTW]

TY for the update.

[Fooby]

stupid question I know, but is there a reason you don't add these updates to the OP chronologically so it's easy to find this important information?

Update: Seems I jumped the gun on the good news and we are back to the workshop on that fix. This one may take longer than the next immediate patch. We will continue to keep you informed as the situation unfolds.

There has been a point of sync-dropping 12mans working effectively in pug matches now, as well as 12mans getting dropped in the PUG queue -

has that been fixed with the rollback or is that still going on?
