We actually do take feedback with every test. In some cases we are able to use it right away. Largely though, individuals expecting feedback to cause a massive overhauling change to any feature will be disappointed. Our primary goal is to find bugs and make sure these features work correctly.

There's a pretty big backlog of things for UI 2.0 which the UI team hopes to come back to, but their current priority, as mandated by the community and production team alike, is focused towards Community Warfare. That means further work into pre-existing aspects of the UI, apart from major bug fixes, will have to wait until after CW is unrolled.

Thanks for the hard work. There will always be ppl QQ about one thing or another and if you took everyone's suggestion then the game would be a mess. If you think you know best then become a programmer, start a company and have at it. Oh and good luck. Thanks again for a great game and the hard work and I look forward to what you come up with in CW. See ya on the battle field.

Greetings MechWarriors,

The final patch will be available shortly. We are aiming to begin the test now at 1PM PDT / 4PM EDT / 8PM UTC

Guys, the simple fact that this still require another patch, means that you need to wait until the "Patch" button comes up again... which means it's operational.

It's not quite time yet...

into the Test Server.....couldn't see IS map in Faction Tab at all

Not in this case. The problems/fixes here apply to the server-side, not clients. So the patch from this morning is all you'll have to worry about (unless there's something else found later today that requires us to patch the client).

QQ! QQ! Wait, am I too late?

[UBCslayer]

Anyone actually manage to get into a game on the test server yet? I've been searching for over ten minutes without a drop.

EDIT: apparently the "map" he is referring to is the IS map on the Faction screen

um... so no Industry for the PTS... and "Lots of known issues with unit creation".

what is the point of the PTS then? How about you fix unit creation until there are A LOT LESS already known issues so we can find NEW ones. And no map to test means this PTS is basically useless.

It's basically just a test of the new hardware now. I think I'll sit this one out.

Huh, just the CW map missing then (and a lot of bugs in the new map). Might have to drop by later after all...

see my above edit, Russ is talking about the IS faction map, NOT the new Industry map. Descriptive words are not part of the vocabulary of Russ apparently. When you release a new "Map" and then later say that the "Map is not drawing" I think 95% of the community is going to think of the new bloody MAP

Oh, it wasn't actually made clear then.

Still, the IS map was kind of the "thing" to see.

I'm guessing they're testing the *cough* new servers *cough*.

I agree having pretty much no unit creation, let alone NO NEW MAP, is pointless.

Greetings all,

- Development and Mech action on this map

Here's the YouTube link:



Here's a few stills for those that don't have time to watch the VLog:

See you in the test,

Floating mechs, too. The Warhawk I found in the testing ground was floating in the air and couldn't touch the ground, meaning I'm sure if I went around with some tags I'll find weapons collision issues all over the place.

Hence a public test and a Feedback section to report errors you encounter...
