<div>Upcoming Patch - Friday, November 28th</div>
<div>Patch Number: 1.3.352</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Greetings MechWarriors!</div>
<div>We are only 2 weeks away from the last patch of 2014 and the team is crushing it like a King Crab claw!</div>
<div>Today’s patch features cool new content and a couple tweaks to hold you over while we get the next patch ready for you!</div>
<div>Clan Invasion Wave II Loki and Man-O-War Collection purchasers and Hellbringer a la carte owners will receive their 3 Hellbringer chassis in this patch. </div>
<div>This Heavy chassis is sure to intimidate and eviscerate your enemies. If you want one you can still buy a package this morning, and with the hourly injections it should be in your ‘Mech Bay ready to enjoy by the time you get home.</div>
<div>A new Champion is joining the ranks of the Inner Sphere ‘Mechs! The Raven RVN-3L(C) has a custom loadout that takes advantage of the ‘Mech’s quirks, along with the standard 30% XP boost to accelerate leveling the mech.</div>
<div>We’ve also rolled out a couple tweaks to Viridian Bog and a radius change for BAP, so continue reading for all the details.</div>
<div>See you on the Battlefield,</div>
<div>The MechWarrior Team</div>

This is pretty cool news...but whats the deal with the Raven 3L champion MC cost? I mean 2940MC, thats almost double any other 35t champion, its even more than the Huggin (without the sale). I think maybe PGI set the price a little TOO high for this mech!
