Nothing set in stone yet. We'll make it known here in the Announcements forum when we do. ;)

Thanks for Everything Nikolai!!!

You guys did an AMAZING job on the Clan mechs, they feel sleek, powerful, and the cockpit looks so futuristic!! The weapon effects are to be lauded as well! I got to play a few games with you stomping around in your golden mech...showoff...lol.

Pretty much knew it would be an extended patch today, so no bummer there, but i did have one question. For those of us who have a ton of mechs (i think with the clan pack i will be at 74-ish ) can we possibly get a tab to keep the Clan mechs and IS separate...that would be awesome.

Keep up the great work.

well you know how the canadians feel about the french.


Huh...I didn't know they had a "surrender immediately" button.....

But, seriously, I get it. I find it hard to believe that PGI is so strapped for funds that they can't afford EU or Pacific servers. Especially considering that EVERY "patch" or "hotfix" we get comes with it's own special cash grab.

Granted, I have NO idea what their financial situation is like nor do I know how much it costs to rent servers. I know that virtually every other world-wide online game that has players on THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD seems to have managed it. Considering that those servers could host not only the game but patch mirrors....I'm just saying.

Quit crying ya all. Oceania people have to wait till 18th of June 2014, 6AM in the morning and guess what? Those who have to work will have that ****** feel for the whole day's work. So suck it up you EU self entitled ******. They have a job to do and unless you want to join their company and having midnight shift just to satisfy people of a certain timezone. [redacted]

If you're so many go take a plane to California just so you "save" a day... Jesus.

You guys have time to play during the week?


Not much. I mostly play on weekends. Studying, working and a S.O. keep me busy.

Premium day for EU and Antipedean TZ pilots?

Dude... 10am their time IS AM!

Someone is always going to get the short stick. That's how 24 time zones work.

You can never please everyone. Patch times are what they are, no game can appease their entire client base with a good patch time. Just plan accordingly, i mean they have only been blaring their horns about this clan release for like 3 frakin months. How do you not plan your own time accordingly, especially knowing how big of a patch this would be. Makes no sense to me. I love MWO, but i sure as hell have backup games at the ready for when she is down.

Why think small?

How about a free Kit Fox...? Perhaps the G variant... :rolleyes:

Seriously - keep up the good work Gents and Ladies - will look forward to having a go with these mechs tomorrow when I get home. ;)

That's true. It's always night somewhere, so whatever time the devs choose, it's bad for some people.

As a Swiss I was hoping to play my Summoner tonight at 07:00 pm. I also canceled dinner with my girlfriend. Sadly though this won't be possible.

No Clan Invasion for me on the 17th of June.

Could stagger a few peoples hours when there is a big roll out like this. It happens what maybe once a year for a package type of injection? Once a year let it be known in advance certain employees will have a different schedule for one day. Not to hard to do. Worked many occupations in my younger days with different shifts and hours. Doing it only one day a year should not be a problem.

Again I do not know how they run their business nor am I complaining I am just responding to some threads here. I can be patient even though yes I am EDT time.

What would be cool though is if they would open up the test server in the mean time.

Just my 2 C-Bills

There would need to be a special patch staggering system to roll out patches in parts. That means programming and server resources PGI does not have. Quit whining already.

This is the normal patch time for over a year. If it's a big patch, it's because there are big things in it. Quit complaining.
