Think they will fix the lrm lock bug? Only been around from the time the clans were patched!

"Couple of sweet surprises"

I'm guessing all of them are in the shop and not something for the game.

[Willard Phule]

The "sweet surprises" will be cash grab items....just plan on it.

Other than that, the "bug fixes" will most likely break more than they "fix"...that's pretty much business as usual.

Don't get your hopes up.

LIEUTENANT?!?!?

Do I look like an officer to you? I'm an NCO, I WORK for a living.

[Kodiak Jorgensson]

I imagine that the hero mech sales are decreasingly rapidly

Surely that's really difficult to tell at this point, given that they haven't released an actually good hero mech in ages. The last one was the Firestarter and there was a huge gap between that and the one before, too (was it the Misery?). And Lord knows I've see more Huiginns and Boar's Heads and other rubbish than I've wanted to, so I'm guessing that, like the mech packs, people will pretty much just buy anything and everything from PGI regardless of quality.

It's the King Crab. I know it is.

King Crabs cannot be built in MWO, thanks to Mechlab not allowing you to split the AC/20's between arm and torso.

So no. You will never see the KGC until they fix that, much like Urbanmechs are impossible until they unkludge engines.

Except they'll probably just remove a hand actuator or something, or better yet, put it in the torso instead. NIPPLE HANDS FOR A CRAB.

The Buttmaster hero doesn't look very unique. We already have energy/missile boating variants.

Yea, I sort of like the BLR but holding off purchasing it since I can pretty much run tons of different builds with the 3 I own already.

Looking forward to warhorn though, lol.

Fix for the Summoner? Like competing on a level field of play?

Other than adding more hard points, don't hold your breath. I sort of enjoy playing mine as is right now and working it hard to do good.

I honestly don't understand why you people buy hero mechs. Especially the garbage ones.

My reasons for the Dragon Flame is that I liked the concept of the Dragon in BT universe. And to be honest if I had to go back again I wouldn't buy it. The X-5 was mainly for Garth and I love how the Cicadas run animation looks. The Grid Iron because I love Hunchbacks regardless of how well the new 55 toners perform. The Protector because Kerensky. The Ilya, Misery, Dragon Slayer, Heavy Metal are the rest and when purchased those were / are great mechs.

They can't do map packs since their match maker will explode if it tries to find people with the maps purchased vs those who don't.

I would imagine that more works will land this patch.

  A preview for tomorrow's #MWO patch tomorrow: A new BattleMaster Hero joins the fight, armed with Streak-SRMs, dual PPC and M. Lasers...
  

This is the canon custom variant (well partially, doesn't have a record sheet, just a write up for exactly what it mounts). HellSlinger.

The Centurion hero was the first hero?

Called it.

Been saying this for weeks now. Why would anyone expect them to sell the Spider hero mech before the Battlemaster, when the latter generates significantly more income? The only question is how many other hero mechs from Phoenix package we will see before the Spider hero mech. It'll be hard for them to resist the temptation of releasing Shadowhawk first, while that mech is still relevant.

And I imagine we will see every kind of clan hero mech before they get around to doing the Locust hero mech. They may never do the Locust hero mech, actually. Especially since they've already explored all the interesting Locust options with the standard Locust variants.

Note that they're saving the actually good robots for last. Shadowhawk sales, and griffin sales, if they aren't boar's head and huginn tier, will generate a lot of money for PGI.

WTB Shadow Hawk hero with 3 energy in the left shoulder and 3 ballistic in the right shoulder. Call it the "Double Deuce" or whatever.
