Hello MechWarriors!


Watch today's Instagram post!

Why Instagram? Why do we even visit this website???

[Daikyu Kell]

I'll be in my bunk, let me know when you get to the final countdown..... Oh yea I went there.

[Desintegrator]

Arctic Cheetah !

Yeah, great...

[Vellron2005]

Well, the Shadowcat has always been one of my favorites, and with that low profile, its difficult to hit. Its basically one of the best clan snipers around..

Hope they do it justice.

The instagram preview looks cool.

Anybody have any idea when Clan Wave 3 will be out for c-bills?

[Helios Pryde]

as written in the Wave III faq :
Q: When will these 'Mechs be available for purchase in-game with MC or C-Bills?

• Executioner: August 4th for MC and September 1st for C-Bills
  
• Ebon Jaguar: August 18th for MC and September 15th for C-Bills
  
• Shadow Cat: September 1st for MC and October 6th for C-Bills
  
• Arctic Cheetah: September 15th for MC and October 20th for C-Bills

Some one take a PPC and shoot the person in the face with it that came up with this idea of a count down for a count down ... . (Remember 90 meters no damage ... it wont hurt)

One thing I'm confused about though. I thought that the count-downs were a 7 day thing. and I thought that the Shadowcat came out 8 days from now on the 21st? that would make it one day until the countdown, so why is everyone saying two days?

It's not a fixed schedule... It varies based, I assume, on how many ideas they can come up with for sneak peeks The Urbanmech was 10 or 12 (can't remember)

Presumably, we'll get a similar set of days to Wave III pt. 1, except now they don't need to explain MASC mechanic, so one day shorter...

[SgtMagor]

yup yup, been a long time since I seen a SCAT, plus ECM variant, Bonus!

Is that seriously a picture taken of a computer screen with text of the count-down in MS-Word? *facepalms* You're doing it wrong... :/

Did a bit of a comparison. Gona predict its a bit taller than the hunchback

Considering the HBK is the shortest 50 tonner and shorter than the 45 tonners... this isn't surprising at all.

the hunchback isn't significantly taller than any of the 45 tonners, but its a pretty tight mech

NOPE. I wish.

Returning foot scoops doesn't raise up like that. The toe doesn't bend down.
They barely use the length of the leg to extend any amount behind the mech, or in front to create any kind of fluent stride. They hardly bend the knee. It's just paddling across the ground and tip toeing like the stupid Direwolf. Isn't this a medium mech? The animation looks stiff. But w/e I'm not surprised. All chicken walkers have been a major disappointment from PGI. Save for the Timberwolf and Maddog. Those mechs have a good stride.

Its a real shame. They've animated mechs really well before



The body of the mech swings and transfers some of the movement from the legs. The 'ankle' joint bends to so that the feet stay parallel to the ground. The toes curl during the recovery phase. The 'knees' actually articulate being completely stiff. And the foot plants flat on the ground instead, of the heels hitting the ground first.

You cannot know how ready I am for the Shadowcat. But my friends in SC might have an idea that getting me out of it will prove difficult.

They mentioned in the last town hall that they were going to look into why Reverse Kinetics got pulled, and possibly see about bringing it back... So, we might get better animations back.
