Any new content is great.

But what MWO really needs is Community Warfare.

But what MWO really needs is more Maps.

But what MWO really needs is better MC structure to bring in funding.

But what MWO really needs is fix ECM (Use canon/TT rules) to make missiles more viable again.

Community Warfare is March. (Timeline for the invasion is following the original storyline, if you didn't notice)

Maps are coming. They're on the roadmap. One is supposed to come out tomorrow.

MC structure is fine, but Hero mechs feel grossly overpriced (except for the Death's Knell).

just thought you should know...
*fades back into the shadows*

Not necessarily. The AWS-8R only had 1 LL, 2LRMs and 1 SL but hardpoints are 3E, 4M.
The HBK-4G had 2ML, 1SL and 1 AC/20 but it gets 3E, 3B.
Lots of Mechs got hardpoints modified compared to what stock came with.
You also forgot the TBT-5S, even though stock has the same weapons types as a 5N the hardpoints could be different.

Sorry forgot to mention those are the minimum hard points, and the 5s isn't confirmed to my knowledge (hero mech maybe?)

I would rather the 7K be the Hero since there was a pilot noted for using it, Sharron Burgoz in the module Sorenson's Sabres. Having the only variant with ballistic as the Hero would make it worth getting and I would really like the see the paint scheme of the 5th Sword of Light used since she served in the unit, better than some of the paint I see on Heros.

I am thinking that is why the HBK-4N is not available, the only Hunchback with Energy, Ballistic and Missile.

No clue...they usually announce something in advance but it seems awfully dead.

[Colddawg]

They've been keeping quiet because of an announcement of a new game by mektek coming out soon, most likely. They have to protect their assets.

[MaxllmuS]

Its ok if we got treb today and buff of ppc to counter ecm. But alpine also great.
Dont like dead sillence about all this from dev. Spider anounced 1 week bofore release and still nothing abut treb, suspicious....

Thanks for the info, wish it was easier to find.

But I am concerned what little content is being trickled out.

A mech a month, about a map every 6 weeks.

Slow content means players become board of grinding a rinse and repeat program.

MC Pricing too high for mass impulse buys for casual players who are the bread and butter of most F2P.

Why not put out unbalanced/broken maps so the players can truly BETA test it.

A official Dev Thread for reporting bugs and other needed fixes would be great.

Agree

Speed will go up the more assets they have stocked for maps

So what?

It's "bored". If you get bored, play something else and come back by release, should be no problem. I for my part still have fun every night with the game.

I think the pricing for mech bays, hero mechs and premium is okay, the rest I can agree, and I think we'll see more adjustments in the future.

Because the QQ would be even worse than it is now. You really don't want that.

???

MekTek is making a new Heavy Gear and it was apparent from the very start of the countdown.
Gears being so different to mechs and the game being set in Terra Nova, or a Solaris7 of Heavy Gear, there is not much they could possibly have to protect.

[Nehkrosis]

^^

agreed.

i want answers.

NOW!!!

[AMC Eagle]

I can't help it, it's the English major in me. There's a tense shift in the fiction that shouldn't be there. Otherwise, can't wait to pilot this today.

[Lightfoot]

Nice Missile Pods like Pretty Baby needs.

A yup/nope to today's patch would be good.

That's what happened to me. But you know what? I came back. I just took a break from the game for about a month. "Burning out" on a game is going to happen no matter how fast content is put out for it. That's fine, though, because I didn't buy my PC to exclusively be my Mechwarrior machine, I bought it to play many different games. So I often take long breaks from MWO and other games like it (such as World of Tanks) to go play other fun things. Then when I eventually come back, hopefully they've put in a lot of fresh new content in the time I've been gone. This is a regular cycle for me and I'm guessing many other people do similarly.

[RapierE01]

boah patch faster i wanna play the Treb

[Pilotasso]

Patch notes are up, both new map and new mech.

[Featherwood]

Uhh, I'm happy with Trebuchet finally added into the game, but obviously confused with variants range chosen: TBT-3C, TBT-5N and TBT-7M resemble same idea; no TBT-5S variant (I longed for 'srm-specific' look); very strange hardpoints location for TBT-7K. Don't think I'm complaining, I just share my thoughts regarding new 'Mech while server is down. So far, 'on paper', Trebuchet leaves some kinky feeling.

40 minutes till I'd be able to test it
Edit: now!
