• Arm lock is now a true toggle

Would it be possible to have both variants available, just like the zoom bindings ?

So used to 'hold and release' that double tab is just not working out...

How ridiculous that I have to change dns settings to install the update. I guess I'll just play something else until they fix it.

[Chill Bill]

Hmmm.... was able to patch Test Server. Can that be made available till problem is solved?

btw, if I try the Google DNS, how do do I return to previous setting? Or do I just return to Obtain Automatically ?

I do not think they said it was coming in the next patch.

just what we needed, the clan mechs with even more damage

it seems quit negligible i wouldn't us them under 120M the extra heat with other weapons wouldnt be worth it, unless you are using a lrm light like the Kitfox perhaps, since it only has LRMs tho i wouldn't stay that close anyway.

HOORAY FOR RE-CONNECTIONS!

Hooray for no connection...seriously, I have to change my DNS just to play this game? Like it's my fault the game suddenly can't detect their servers. I mean, it's not hard to do, but I shouldn't have to do it...

Thank you for the details, sounds really interesting to me!
Could someone enlighten me on the LRM-tweak? I have trouble imagining if that means they will be stronger - or not. Or does that vary by target, as implied?

Hi,
no they are not stronger, the damage is the same as before, but before the patch, LRM's didn't make damage under 180m distance from the target. Now after this patch, you can do damage with Clan LRM's below 180m, but as closer you will get to your target (below 180m), the lesser damage you will make with your LRM's.
Clear so far?

As a non-LRM boat usually, however a recipient of said LRMs, does this mean you have 20 Rack hit CT, and the surrounding areas (RT/LT/LGs) will not get damage after this patch?

or

Does this mean 20 rack will still potentially spread to CT/RT/LT/Arms/LGs, with no splash damage.

So I get shot by a LRM 20, and the code says it hits my CT, only 20 points of damage on my CT.

Or do I take 5 LRMs on LT, 5 on RT, 10 hit CT?



So not sure if these are the right questions, just trying to understand, because the way I am thinking about it, having multiple 20 racks converge, on a single spot, I see MORE LRM usage.

I hope I am wrong.

Semper Fi.

Hi,
I would guess, that LRM's now work comparable to LBX-AC shoots. One missile makes its whole damage to one component (like one shrapnel of the LBX-AC does), but all the missiles are hit different positions of your mech (like all 10 LBX-shrapnels will be spread over your mech). So the whole missile damage (from all missiles) will spread over your mech as before... hopefully ;-). That is my interpretation from what I was reading.
Greetings,
Marodeur

[Asmosis]

Sounds like a good patch overall. Arm toggle is a godsend, and the fix for lrms/ssrms really just removes unnecessary clutter. Your already dealing damage over multiple components anyway due to missile spread so it was a bit redundant to then splash that damage additionally. A lrm20 isn't going to deal all 20 missiles damage to a single location, since that would make atremis/tag/narc mostly redundant.

I'm assuming this means rather than a 1pt dmg lrm doing 0.6 CT, 0.2 both sides it now just deals 1pt damage to the CT.

I cannot load the game saying it is undergoing maintenance even though the website says online????

Also the arm toggle is about bloomin time. Being needing this for ages.

Sounds like this patch is going to make my CPLT A1 with Lrm 40's and four streaks rather nasty.

I'm having the same issue here?! wasn't down this long for friggin terra therma...hahah!! seriously tho....

Rejoin - not working as intended. Pls fix

[Monkey Lover]

rejoin is working for me. I did it twice during a game. Never at the start.

[Shamoth]

Battle Grid movement Turn and Throttle does not work on remaped keys, only stock WSAD works...

Previous Arm Lock was nicer implementation, i could temporary toggle it by holding SHIFT, now its more like on/off just like checking and unchecking in options.

Is there possibility in near future to add Arm Lock Hold option so i could use it like earlier without need to double tap it quickly?

Hey guys,

Just thinking you forgot something....
Nerf king of poptarts, Dragon Slayer.

I know that killing dragons without ability to fly is hard but...

Why in hell Assault Mech jumps better than LIGHT MECH!?!

Thanks for Siriothrax who figured that out.
