Great news from an improving and now consistently conscientious Developer.

Thank you PGI!

The last time we had an early arrival of a patch we had some broken hitbox issues on the Hellbringer. While impressed with 'early' patches, we got burned last time.

They also hotfixed it the very next day in the office, so I wouldn't be concerned. PGI is ahead, which means they have time to fix things if they need to. =]

Replace "burned" with "ever so mildly inconvenienced for less than 24 hours".

Excellent.

This is an unprecedented first.

Gotta say i am proud of PGI

Nope. Last patch with the Hellbringer was early, so there is a precedent.

[TurkeyMcCoolRay]

This is great news!

[DasSibby]

Here's a great sneak peak on the King Crab! (Those claws look awesome, especially with the bay-doors type opening!)

In other related news... AC2's still suck.

[PraetorGix]

I gotta say, even if this ties up to some marketing strategy it is nonetheless a very welcome effort on your part, kudos PGI!

[Jody Von Jedi]

Nice surprise, PGI. Thanks !

I knew it!

Truly PGI if you keep beating deadlines and exceeding expectations,

I just might call off the divorce lol;-)

seriously since the "change" I cant say how much better the game has gotten.
and with CW right around the bend I feel that 'Ol special feeling again...like I used to have
in the basement playing table top Btech. so congrats on the last few months.

Now the king of crabs shall make the clan understand the inner sphere is far from being defeated and the Dire wolf is NOT the only god of the battlefield. Clans grab yer butts and get ready for
THE MARCH OF THE CRABS!!!.

King Crab is great and all... BUT THE STATUES ARE DISAPPEARING IN RIVER CITY!

That is biggest news I see in that update....

[Carnifex125]

I died a few times hearing that my beloved KGC's are being released early, but will be a tough day at out in the field, just knowing my KGC's will be there...waiting....

[stealthraccoon]

So correct me if I am wrong, but what I am hearing, is that you are getting all of this less important stuff out of the way so you can release the Urbanmech earlier than expected as well... hmmm?

Or this was done because it was ready and by getting KC's into the hands of people now, it might make more people buy a large pack to have it before the DEAL ENDS on the 16th. But then again, maybe they extend the deal too. They do have to support themselves you know.

If you read any of my posts on other threads, you should know that I believe in supporting PGI and MWO. I am just concerned that CW phase 2 might be getting pushed back again.
