Hello MechWarriors,

I would like to set the stage on what to expect for the month of August, especially with regards to the much anticipated feature of Community Warfare Module 1.

The first thing you will see in August is a commitment to getting back to weekend events, we are going to have multiple events in August and will try to make them increasingly faction oriented.

One of those events will be an IS vs Clan event that will help gather important balancing information. Stay tuned for news of our first event this very weekend.

Here is a timeline breakdown of August:

Aug 8^th-12^th: Faction-themed sale with an associated personal challenge event.

Aug 12^th: Spider Hero – “Anansi” SDR-A for sale (MC); Summoner Mechs for sale (MC); Kit-Fox Mechs for sale (C-Bills); Rec Room Warhorn for sale (MC)

Aug 15^th: Faction-themed sale and casual 12 vs 10 Clan balance test using the Private Match window and streamed over Twitch with rewards for participants. Please set aside time this weekend if you feel you have a strong opinion on the 12v10 balance question.

Aug 19^th: Nova Camo Specs unlocked; Vindicator Hero for sale (MC): Hero mech version released Aug 19^th with MC a week later and C-Bills the week after that as per the established pipeline.

Aug 19^th-26^th: Community Warfare Module 1 release. I have indicated a range here because were working hard to get this out as soon as possible. There still remains a reasonable possibility this will come out with the Aug 19^th patch but let’s just say it’s going to be close and we want to make sure it functions properly. Therefore, if it’s not quite ready for the Aug 19^th patch, one option might be to add a patch later that week like Friday the 22^nd, But were confident that worst case scenario will see CW Module 1 released no later than Aug 26^th.

Aug 22^nd-24^th: Faction-themed sale and associated event.

Aug 26^th: Vindicator Mechs for sale (MC); Dire Wolf Mechs for Sale (MC); Nova Mechs for sale (C-Bills); Lunch Truck Warhorn for sale (MC)

Aug 29^th-31^st: Faction-themed sale and an associated event.

Some of you have been wondering exactly what is in CW Module 1, let me redirect you to Paul’s post here which remain accurate: http://mwomercs.com/...ost__p__3481510

As an added bonus: Here are some links to sneak-peeks of CW module!

That. Is a colored map of the Inner Sphere.

It's happening.

[cSand]

Nice.

Exciting things ahead and the communication is great.

But one question... any more maps in the near future?

Stay the course guys I like what I'm seein

[CycKath]

Lots of info, lots of 'Mechs! Vindicator! Happy!

[Koniks]

It's nice to see a timeline for releases, sneak peeks at upcoming features, and a calendar of events. Thank you.

St. Ives on map... I want this to mean something so badly... T_T

[Runs With Scissors]

nice to see the vindicator is coming, 12v10 sounds exiting (been wanting that for awhile) and the map of the IS looks promising but...

3 hero mechs in a month?

[Asmudius Heng]

OK, so the testing has shown that clans have an edge ... 10 vs 12 sounds fun and in lore if matchmaker is the way to balance so be it.

Glad to see a map of the IS and stuff all good if still feeling very slow.

Another medium mech ... would prefer more ways to make mediums more viable beyond a few chassis but I understand the pipeline to pump out new mechs as a part of the entire F2P sales process but still ...

I am not too interested in the other stuff.

Factions still mean nothing to most people because there is no IN GAME way of explaining any lore or reason to be a part of any side.

At least give new players and idea. Do you want to be a space samurai, space viking, space knight, space merc, or space test tube crybaby?

[Glaive-]

Looking forward to facing the Vindicator!

[GreyGriffin]

So many sales, so little content.

I'm afraid I won't be enjoying any of this new content until we get word that jump jets are going to be fixed. Still not a single word about jump jets and their currently useless state. Even just a simple, "we like the way they are now and have no plans to change them" or "we realize they're useless and are looking for a solution" would be helpful. Even though I primarily pilot mechs that don't have jump jets, I do also own a number that do; mechs that are currently a waste of hangar space due to JJ's current state.

[mp00]

Though it is already announced and talked about a lot still hard to see the words...

" 2) Unit names must be unique and not one of the existing units in Battletech Lore."

Also of concern is the people who get first crack at names and lay claim to the tags to existing units (non Battletech Lore) like someone else goes out and grabs 228th or SJR before they can...

[Valdemaar]

I'm trying real hard not to get my hopes up too much. There's so much here that I've been wanting for a long time and it looks like it's finally happening. Just... thank you.

[Madok Pryde]

Can I get a "HELL YEAH! "?

[Asmudius Heng]

I hope there is no Trolling and people taking other units names also just to be jerks ... or at least a way to resolve it quickly

[WardenWolf]

Is it just me, or is FRR missing from those maps? :/

They said the screenshots are using 3025 map data at the moment.

Because its a 3025 map, same reason Capellan Confederation is so big and no join between Lyrans and Davions.
