Russ Bullock (@russ_bullock) says:
- Patch preview: new Module screen which separates modules into Mech-weapon-consumables. Also of course consumables can be set to auto refill.
- All IS mechs had their existing quirks converted to the new display system. Also our first pass at adding unique quirks to certain mechs
- This includes Centurion,Hunchback,Awesome and Dragon. For example Centurion left Arm has an armour quirk full details to come in patch notes
- Fall dmg system converted to metric with further tuning done for lights and mediums.
- Level 1 and 2 clan weapon modules and further SLI and 3D vision support
- Patch also has a very important bug fix / improvement to the dedicated servers to fix or at least substantially improve the server desync


EDIT: Colour tags. Eew.

Is this a hidden 10% (like more of a damage resistance) or are they actually changing the armor figures (taking more tonnage with a higher armor rating or robbing Peter to pay Paul, making the Left torso carry less armor to balance and keep the same original armor rating)?

I believe it will be like some of the lights now where its like a permanent efficiency.

So highlander's hoverjets are here to stay?



Also, where's my Oculus rift support?!? Getting mine about Wednesday

[AztecD]

are we there yet?

Check the patch notes page. Literally every mech in the game will be getting 2 dedicated consumable slots.

Let the Steel Rehn ensue.



Also, the Trebuchet 5N was apparently so overpowered that it was only allowed to have 1 mech mod slot, whereas a lot of other mediums get 2. Lel.

EDIT: And the Cataphract 2X, the variant that literally nobody uses.

Also, on many of the decent chassis, enjoy getting to pick between Seismic and Radar Dep.

But the Victor 9K gets 3 weapon mod slots man. Three.

THREE!!!!!!!

All of its weapon groups will have +6 extra meters of range. The new meta is born, the future is now.

Lot of people here I think bought a founders package not to play the game, but because their true enjoyment in life is bitching on forums about stuff

LOL! And then the same folks ***** that the Dev don't listen to them... LOL! This place is indeed a marvel of genetic dysfunction.

Awww, Schroedinger's Cat got out.

Or did it?

Well Neo was told the truth. "There is no Spoon!" Seems it was true after all. LOL!

[Viges]

So with that module change they nerf IS mechs and buff clans even more... nice, nice, yea, way to go pgi, keep telling that this game is not p2w.

Imagine stacking three MLas range mods on that VTR-9K, brah. That gives you 32.4 whole meters of extra range, dawg! Our 302.4m range Medium Lasers will bring us victory! AAAHHHH YEAHHHH.

[Trevor Belmont]

So my Raven 3L scout goes from 4 module slots to 2 mech slots. Good way to nerf it.

How exactly?

[Samual Kalkin]

These module changes completely screw over the way I use modules on every single mech I use them on. I don't use the consumables at all, because they will wipe out almost the entire match payout on any mech other than Phoenix (P) mechs.

You dont understand how reducing mech's module slots nerfs IS mechs, or adding modules to clans buffs them?

Consider that I'm already using 2 slots for a UAV+arty... this is a lateral move for me. Paul and NuPaul, good job @ the nerf.
