Cataphract torso hitmesh cleaned up of overlapping internal faces, polycount reduced, center torso area reduced.

I wonder how big this change will be? Good for STD engine builds, but I usually run an XL in the 'Phract.

This is great! Lessening the uac jam chance and thightening the lbx spread for dakka enthusiasts is always good

Good, but IMO the LBX10 needs to have the weapon itself fixed, not just quirks on a couple mechs...

the zeus ( R ) has ac5 quirks and only 2 ballistic hardpoints...sounds like a turdbucket...thanks pgi!

That's a lot of stuff. Great work to all of you, PGI! Keep it up!

I haven't bought any resistence mechs but the grasshopper was my TT favorite....and i think it is supposed to be an agility mech so why in seven hells does it have movement archtype: huge??....and furthermore the Zeus only large than?

Yeah, same question. I don't have any of the resistance mechs, but really, is it a typo in the notes? or did they TRULY decide to slap a smaller mech with a worse movement archetype?

Generally 2 AC/5 is considered a strong dps machine.

One of the very popular phract builds was 2 PPC/2 AC5 (and ppl wrecked in it)

There are some posts in the general forum about it. Apparently the movement archtype is tied to the size of the model, the grasshopper is tall, so it "fit" in the huge bubble they have to wrap around a mech for collision detection, this is why the gargles I think is also like that.

On Russ's twitter he has said he is going to get them to untie the two components so the grasshopper will end up with not huge (and hopefully some other mechs too). He is hoping for a hotfix soon to change that huge off there.

It's time to paint some mechs!

Yup, time to get out those spray cans folks!

ive never backed off from a phract unless i was in a light or heavily damaged.

After seeing the faction paint jobs on the ngng video I'm seriously considering upgrading to the wrath pack just for those (and premium time and colours obv).

Does anyone know if they will be eventually released for all mechs?

10AM - 1PM PST, why would you need 3 hours to apply a patch? Might add that this is still during primetime for Europe and where people instead decide to play other games or do other things.

Bummer.

Servers looks green but I cannot still launch the game, or patcher. . .

If it makes them money the answer is usually yes.

[Felbombling]

Any patch that has the line, "Several Collision ("Invisible Wall") improvements made..." is automatically a great patch.

The fact that the Cataphract has gotten some customization love was a welcome change, as well.

Keep up the good work, PGI.

Same here! WTH?

This patch looks like it has loads of Win.
The new camo will be a joy to apply to my HBRs and MDDs.
Sadly, I'm solo, so I won't see the new map. I saw the previews and it looks amazing! Here's to hoping this gets cut to the public queues some time in the future.
Lots of great backend improvements. We all asked for map improvements and it looks like we got some of that. UI Improvements, too, always welcome.
UAC Jam Rate buff on the Jager DD is scary to me. I sense we'll see a lot more of them and the 'Phract (as well as Grasshopper) crowding the Heavy queue. Might be time to pony up for a new set of mediums since that queue will be a ghost town! LOL

Why? You can go to CW also alone . . just pick some faction.
