I can see the armor on all the Centurions getting the upgrade, so that's good.

The Trebuchet needs those things too...

A quick post to show you a screen shot with the new loyalty centurion sporting a dual AC5 configuration. All centurions will enjoy this new mechlab treatment.

I also wanted to let you know about a known scaling issue before the mech goes live. The dual AC 5 and other builds look great as you can see - however when sporting an AC20 the scaling is MUCH to small, we are aware of it and plan to make some changes.

I do not have an ETA yet but in the meantime enjoy the visual customization and smaller hitbox on the AC20.

Great. Any plans for camo selling? I'd love to buy something similar for other mechs.

Awesome viking camo! That Valknutr on the left leg is a nice touch! Is this skin only for the AH or will it be available for all mechs?

Can't wait to have this beauty on my mechbay

OMG they crippled the Weapon Arm,

AFAIK, this is just the special camo for the AH variant for those that are getting it as a reward on Tuesday.

There aren't any expectations otherwise.

From the art it appears to be on the Atlas S as well.

Looking good i have to say. Will bring even more boom to my Wang. And it is a very boomy mech to begin with.

But you know were going to do something with that Left arm

Yeah, but I wanna know how deep the rabbit hole goes..and if a twisting quirk to make the best use of it will accompany it. Exciting times

Seriously though, the quirk thing is a huge plus for me...I've been hoping you guys would find a way to differentiate chassis' in a meaningful manner like this for over a year. Very much looking forward to it.

I am a fan of a marked improvement in communication and dev interaction

Looking at the D quirks...I may rename mine to "The AA-12."

Edit: About Russ' shared stats...looking at a "+20%" increase in cooldown...that could be misinterpreted as ADDITIONAL cooldown time.

I'm pretty sure he means a reduction in overall cooldown time...ie...it shoots faster.

Personally, I'd want more CW info. This is just good enough to tide me over for Tuesday and the rest of the week (mass grinding effort there, because I can).

[kapusta11]

Right arm is horrible, a freaking cube, really? What where you thinking? Couldn't you just make barrels swapable?

[SgtMagor]

too much eye candy

[Joe Mallad]

yes, people have to remember that while weapons are getting these "cooldown" quirks or even the modules that do the same thing... all this means is "cooldown" allows us to fire these weapons faster as the recycle/reload times are cut by a % but this then creates more heat lol. If our weapons are cooling faster so we can fire again, we are NOT dissipating the overall heat with our Heat Sinks to keep up with the weapon cool down times. People need to keep that in mind.

You broke my arm! And my missiles aren't supposed to be on sideways!!!!!

Ye, Russ! Don't be surprised, if after this Mech come out, everybody will cry for "ARENA!"

Angel, knots, walknut and what looks like an Ouroboros on the left arm shield.. eternity symbolism at it's finest.

Funny thing to notice is that big X shaped plate it's for an extra missile launcher or this baby would be able to mount a fully operational LRM 20 in one of it's hardpoints plus 2x extra Missile hardpoints.
