We needed a bit more time, so the special geometry is going to roll out a little bit later with the patch on March 3rd. The initial release of the Panther and Enforcer [R] variants won't feature the special geo.
After the March 3rd patch, your [R] variants will automatically feature the special geo. This applies retroactively.

I made sure to confirm that the release of the special geo won't alter any loadout or customizations you may implement between tomorrows 'Mech release and the geo release with the patch on March 3rd.

UPDATE: Can't guarantee it just yet, but I'm hoping we can show you guys some screenshots of the special geometry by the end of the day!

Appreciate the update, but I am still left wondering why the deadline wasn't met (assuming that the people working on the mechs actually set a deadline)? Is this kind of delay something that we can expect to see with the other mechs in the pack, and even with new mechs in the future? It's disappointing on the end of the customer, and I'm sure it's somewhat embarrassing on the end of the developer, not being able to meet a goal/deadline.

Who cares? If the Zeus makes it before April, all is forgiven

QFT The prime's special geometry makes it look by far worse than the regular model...

free marketing tip:

never ever ever ever EVER tell a paying customer you haven't had the time to do what they have paid you for.

Why? It seems pretty good that PGI will tell us when they haven't had time to quite finish something. Better than simply ignoring it and letting us wonder why the Resistance variants don't have the geo.

True, but it also gives the whiners something to grab hold on
("See? They cannot even do what they promised!" kinda thing)

The irony of the above post...


Anyways. Any word if the Enforcer is going to be fixed yet?

If there's something to whine about in either case; err on the side of truthful, open communication.

The panther looks really amazing, but this enforcer head dude...

Found this in the german forums...
Just do that PGI!

(hence dragon bowling)

Man I miss that stuff, lol. Bowling with Dragons sure was fun for a little while. Still, we need more collision without quite that degree. It's still possible to kill a mech without weapons though(if their leg armor is gone). I crave DFA.

[Kjudoon]

If collision wasn't a total stun mechanic and you could fight while prone AND be harder to hit....

Then it wouldn't be quite as bad.
