This patch seems rampant with little things, once working fine, that are now bugged to all hell.
We now have:
- Match scores of " 0 " all across the board, no matter what. (BUG)
- A bridge in Terra Therma that is now raised and thus, inaccessible from one side. (Funniest BUG in a long while)
- The Friends List / Social box is now aligned with the top right of the screen instead of the bottom right
- Some people getting a lone menubox on the top left of their UI (Mechlab)
- Multiple copies of multiple weapon & mech modules with different CBill values
- Different naming conventions for IS vs. Clan modules. (Some say IS to designate Inner Sphere, other's just say nothing) This is acknowledge by Devs for the time being, and planned to be fixed next patch, but I can only hope the 'fix' won't screw with many people's owned modules (with the recent track record, I'm rather skeptical)
- Completely wiped "Improved" (Airstrike, coolshot, arty etc...) from multiple players

Also just to put it out there, LRM's are a valuable asset in ANY game mode, quit calling it easy mode, Yes i am a user of LRM boats, i do it as a missile support role. Not because its easy mode but because Indirect fire support is an extremely valuable thing to have on your side in a fight. And if you hate them so much why do soo many of you that gripe at me in game about going "easy mode" cry even harder if you play a match with little to no LRM's on your side?

Agreed people that are not used to some game modes will get used to it or they will just suck and lower their ELO either way its fine..... or will be in a few weeks. Also I use mostly brawlers or direct fire mechs, but even I know being an LRM boat is not easy hell they are just about useless without a spotter or tag. if they have neither they still have to poke their heads out.

it was changed to Pizza Hut for many European countries as we don't have Taco Bell over here so many won't have a clue what you are on about

Woo. Now all we need is the ability to select maps and tailor your mech accordingly... like every other decent game ever...

Nearly everyone wins: players get better ELO-arranged maps with 3333 in place, players who don't like playing certain mechs on certain modes can have alternate mechs set up they can switch to, people still don't know the map (although they can certainly cast their vote) and thus can't customize perfect heat/range builds for specific maps (which is a good thing), and PGI gets to keep getting money from all the above. The only losers are the "I refuse to play this mode ON PRINCIPLE" folks, and I doubt there's much helping them.
This also is an opportunity to look at the game modes and see why some people are so unshakeably opposed to one or another. Without necessarily completely changing the mechanics of a given mode, there might be small changes that can be made (like doing a better job with chatter from Betty in Conquest of explaining what these points are and why we're fighting for them) that will ameliorate at least some of the discomfort some of the players are feeling.
EDIT: after I posted, I saw the latest posts that the new system is being rolled back. Fair enough, although I wish Russ had actually left the second poll up for a week as the post said it would be. My point still stands, though: letting players choose mechs after they know the mode will make all modes much more palatable to most players.

Come on...it is BT and not an Robot-Arcade-3d Person-Shooter-Crap......
Agree on that. It's a minor point, but it just feels like slightly the wrong phrase for the game's setting.
On the other hand, I'd feel some joy if Betty ever intoned, at the apt time, a victorious declaration of "HEADSHOT!"
edit: however that, i'll admit i kinda like the new in-game rewards hud. maybe needs some slight tweaks, but overall it's nicely noticeable without being too distracting.

Exactly - it got much worse. 9 of 10 Matches Stomps. Matchmaker was broken before and is even worse now. It is really getting annoying.
Patch sounded nice - Reality is different.

Now I know you are a Goon (Despite all evidence against it) simply because you mocked me for paying less attention to you than I have accused you of paying to me!
See how brilliant I am!
It takes REAL brilliance to make repeated accusations with absolutely no research OR foundation for them!
The irony is astounding.
Might want to actually do your research next time?
Here is a hint.
Neither mockery of stupidity - nor post count - make one a Goon

You are blinded by your conceit, self-adoration and lost in your own intimations, young padavan. Nobody accused you in being goon, I've just used well-known mem to show that you sound like stupid arrogant kid who refuses to hear anybody else except himself. As for post count - did you mean your 8k, lol?
