The December Road Map.

King Crab and Wave 2 Content - The loyalty King Crab mech along with the Gargoyle and the remainder of the Wave 2 content.

Released Dec 16th patch.

Special Note: Wave 2 faction skins will be place able on your special "Invasion" version of your Wave 2 mechs, however it will likely trail the Dec 16th patch by 1 or 2 patch cycles. On Dec 16th those faction skins will work with the 4 Wave 2 mechs as well as the Mad Dog. Further into the future the faction skins will be retrofitted to work with all Wave 1 mechs.

Also the ability to choose your faction content should be available by the end of Dec 5th.

Hit Box corrections - Further refining of the the Mad Dog, Ice Ferret and Myst Lynx hit boxes. The focus was on reducing Mad Dog Left and Right Torso sizes, Ice Ferret primarily better distribution between the three front torsos better protecting the CT. Mist Lynx with as much reduction on the arm hit boxes as was possible.

Released Dec 16th patch.

IS Quirks pass update – Minor update to change or improve upon the original pass. An example was changing the Dragon 5N to UAC5 instead of AC2, also changing the Grid Iron to Gauss. So in more cases considering the stock load out. I cannot list exact changes yet as I am not sure how many of these improvements we can get in before patch time.

Released Dec 16th patch.

Community Warfare Phase 2 - Open Beta - The explanations are plentiful in the many posts you have read, you all know what it is. As the title states this will be an Open Beta release and will certainly have known issues when it is released.

Special Note on CW Phase 2 Open Beta: At some future date we will remove the Open Beta tag and even rename and re brand the entire thing to something more fitting. It should also be noted that with Open Beta releasing so close to the Christmas break that it is likely there will be some hot fixes that week and even the possibility of downtime on CW as we patch issues that are exposed by the large live population base.

Released Dec 16th patch.

Sounds good.

How about a sneak peek of some CW stuff (dropship incoming video pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease)

Any chance of some time on the PTS to try CW?

[Felicitatem Parco]

Several people have already listed the Grid Iron as a must-XL Hunchback in order to make use of the UAC/5 and MPL quirks and still have maneuverability... I think this change to Gauss will "standardize" the GI again ;-)

[A big brave boulder of meat]

Good stuff!

Please let us see some screenshots or something though! Why wouldn't you want to show off your guys hard work a little?

By the way Paul, you said you would answer questions last update but never did! Ech-hem!

I'm disappointed at no mention of Clan Quirks.

CW info is still lacking (rewards, goals, purpose).

More info still needed.

[Duncan1dah0]

Thanks for the information. When will the Resistance colors drop? Looking at the new awesome skins will the skins be available on the King Crab and will they be available on Dec 16th?

[Milocinia]

Nice one Paul.

I am a very vocal critic of your work on MWO but I try not to take things too personally. Thanks for taking the time to post this. If there are any video clips you are able to post, it would be nice

[Rwraith]

Is Resistance the 16th or the 18th?

[orcrist86]

In b4 all the Ron Paul gifs. Seriously though, all milestones hit for the last several months, all planned releases meeting deadlines. Great fracking job PGI. Now to go justify my resistance pack purchase to the wife.

Sounds great.

Also love that you are giving the stock loadouts/roles more focus on Quirks. Not only does it simply make more sense, but if done right, will help bring more sub-optimal builds up toward "optimal", and flatten the curve of the meta. Instead of some of the current loads which merely reinforce it.

Excelsior!

You really are a butt sometimes. This was a DECEMBER roadmap, and we've already been told that deeper CW is awaiting 2015.

[Nightmare1]

Overall, it looks great!

I am bummed by the quirk change to the Grid Iron though.

[DasSibby]

Yay!

Krab, Myst Lynx hitbox *MAJOR* reduction, and open beta CW launch! I'm happy!

[CycKath]

Nice. The Resistance factional paint jobs on the King Crab easily trump the Roadmap, given the scant detail on CW.

[Butane9000]

Seems rather "light" on content (not counting CW OB).

Any new heroes we should expect as a surprise?

[UnseenFury]

Where is Dragon 3D models for different weapons??? It's been far too long.

[headclot]

So it looks like it is time to re install MWO since it will take a few days due to crappy internet.

Made a promise to myself not to play MWO until Community Warfare was in.

[Cimarb]

So excited to put CGB colors and camo on all my mechs, including Invasion variants!!!

...oh, and the other stuff is cool, I guess...

[Will9761]

You know, just when I think that you guys couldn't put anymore effort towards your community. Next, you say things like this then:


GOOD JOB PGI!! Keep up the fine work!
