Thanks for this smooth implementation !

I have to say: Well done PGI !

No critical bugs found. And the minor things should be fixed in the next months...

OK, is it me or has anyone else noticed that the background looks like a new maps - I cannot pin it to an existing map. The ground textures of canyon, but with the tanks/pipes of Caustic...

I am so sure this is a new map!?!?!?

Good, spotting. It appears that is the case, unless they expanded Canyon and made the Junkyard bigger. It looks like some kind of Scrapyard/Factory Map

I, Archon Victor Ian Steiner-Davion, look forward to facing overwhelming even odds, better balanced equipped mechs, genetically engineered random pilots, and so many sir named warriors. I accept your invite to your funeral.

p.s Just wait till I get my Dire Wolf-Prometheus, then the fun will really start.

Fixed it for you.

PS. Does the potatoe gun (gauss) work the same on clan side? As in it needs to be charged still.

[Lily from animove]

Yeha the Units, we want and need this ^^ + a better ingame chat system, the current one is crap.

why can't I use chat when the server is searchign for a match?
Why does typed stuff in the ready up screen of a match disappear when we get into the cokpit? So many small and annoying features.

[Wolfways]

There are clan mechs, not an invasion. Subtle difference i know

On the background "map". Mech Factory?

[N0MAD]

What invasion? really...
Where can i go fight IS forces?, what planets are being fought over? There is no invasion going on, nothing has changed at all as far as gameplay goes nothing, nada, zilch.
OHHH you mean you have new mechs you can ONLY use if you pay real money.
No new maps, no new game modes, no IS vs Clan fighting, what nothing, nada, zilch ? Just new mechs for $?
Thats your hype about an invasion? Just Mechs for $. Pokemechs, got to get them all.
And i hear the launch went (lets be nice, not well, again)... well there is the bribe i suppose.
Hype + more hype + you know what, but nothing else except ..you got it more mechs for $.
Man im really pleased i payed for the founders, access to this forum has given me more laughs than watching comedys on TV..

[Nova Latios Storm]

Is it a city map?

[LiGhtningFF13]

Well guys your blood, sweat and tears were worth the result! I let you know that I will continue to support your actions.

[Toadflakz]

Please, please, please add the ability to upload a PNG to be used as a Unit symbol on Mechs! It would make things SOOOO much easier. Also, please make sure that people's names in-game can then include a Unit designation like [BSA] Toadflakz, for example.

A Clarification:

On a side note, I've seen the rumblings of people thinking that mixed teams of Clan and IS 'Mechs will be the norm from here on out. This is not the case. Faction (IS/Clan) combat is a big part of Community Warfare as are the skirmishes between the Houses themselves and the Clans themselves. This requires additional work to the database, player data and match making systems and will come out at a later time.

Thanks PGI/Paul for the clarification that CW will be IS (Mechs) vs Clan (Mechs) and that there will be House vs House, Clan vs Clan and not as i feared only one Queue "Team Blue" vs "Team Red".


Are the Postings from Bryan Ekman September of 2013 obsolete ?




and maybe we could be friends again in the future .....

When looking at the picture with all the clan mechs, all I can think of are popsicles.
Lots and lots of popsicles, freshly purchased from the icecream truck.

[Trystan Thorne]

I have to admit that this isn’t really handled all well.

I’m usually easy going, relaxed and quite forgivable towards all the delays and broken promises from PGI/IGP.
I’m still enjoying this game and I ended up buying a Timber Wolf (just the Timber Wolf) even though I promised myself not to get any Clan stuff.
I played all three variants and I really like them all.

Though calling this an invasion is really weird. Was the Phoenix package an invasion as well then?
We have no CW or even any kind of faction battles, why pretend as if we have?

Sounds like they are going on as if we had already two years of CW behind us and if we keep fighting for planets on a daily basis. And now we suddenly end up fighting against an overly powerful foe that is taking planets away from us by the hour and we have to unite to fight them off.

All we have is Team Deathmatch though!

I hate to say it. But after 50+ matches against mostly clan tech...... the game has become pay to win. The clan mechs are balanced against other clan mechs agreed. But are far superior to IS tech. I know, this is the way it goes in the lore of the game. So, yes, before you all start jumping down my throat. I am taking some time off of MWO. Maybe a couple of patches worth. See how the balancing plays out. I will be back. Keep hunting and killing mechwarriors.

[Darwins Dog]

Regarding unit creation: Will there be a way for existing units to reserve their names/tags ahead of release? While I'm not specifically worried for the Golden Foxes, I do see the potential for problems with someone stealing a name out of malice/spite/forthelulz.

[Hayato1983]

Sounds good. Looking forward.

There is already a thread created which is soliciting feedback for just such a thing.

http://mwomercs.com/...ation-feedback/

Yep, I'm definitely a part of that thread. However, I really think PGI should give unit commander's a say, perhaps in private circumstances, to help really determine what needs to go into the Unit Creation business, as well as Contracting and Objective-Based Conflict.

[kotya]

At last we got the least.

But thanks for normal balance!
Really unexpected!!!

Good luck in launch of global sphere map!

[Trystan Thorne]

Regarding the balance. I don't know, I think the balance is quite good. I don't see the Clan Mechs been so superior.
So for the Team Deathmatch Part, I think that PGI did a great job.

But with CW I'm hoping that we'll get somekind of lore gamemodes too where the weapons are closer to the lore. I really would love to have IS vs Clan were the Clan weapons have not been nerfed down.

EDIT: I'd be fighting on IS side, just as an FYI.
