Seriously.

This town hall was chock full of great stuff. Early Feb, we actually get in game VOIP. There'll be +1 CW map per month. More CW game modes, including small-group game modes (4v4, 8v8, eventually even single-player PVE game modes INVOLVING ELEMENTALS, TANKS, AIRCRAFT. So much great stuff.

But all that?



I don't care.

Because Urbanmech. I'll care about all that other stuff later, once I'm rolling in my Urbie.


(Edit: I don't normally like my own posts, but I'm liking this one. Because Urbanmech.)

Russ was like "Lets see if anyone genuinely wants the urbanmech"
Then the forums exploded like every urbie fan when he mentions it.

I don't know what to make of it.... did I want it? Idk.... maybe, maybe not, we will see. lol I am kinda liking the 360 torso turn... should be interesting. I am glad that all you that really want it are getting it, should be a fun mech to play. I asked but didn't get a confirm if it would be out for C-bills at a later time, anyone know for sure?

Obviously it has to be, or else it would be extremely P2W.

360 degree torso twist will legitimately be extremely strong. You will be able to spread damage like a boss. Russ also said they're working to make it viable. If they give it Locust level quirks, or Hunchback level quirks, it'll be a monster. 30% CDR on AC10, 50% increased small laser range, and some increased ammo, and we're looking at a mech that will actually be quite frightening in CW.

I'll say it again - it can literally run away and shoot you at the same time, then turn around in whichever direction it chooses to best mitigate damage. That's beastly.
