Don't forget to download your PTS installer to play in the European test server this afternoon at 5PM UTC!

You will get 50,000 MC, 500,000,000 C-Biils, and 500,000 GXP to spend on 'Mechs, skills, and modules. Curious about piloting a Dire Wolf but you are not sure if buying one will be worth it? You can test it out here! Don't miss this chance!

Anyway, I want to know how it goes (hit reg, ping, etc.) so maybe you could share your experience here!

Good hint and nice advertisement :-).
Sadly I don't have the time personally (also, I already have DWFs )

But listen to the man! Don't be a lazy person like me.

I won't probably play today, but tomorrow I'll do some tests. Even if you are from the EU area, it's a chance to test almost every mech for free, so don't miss it!

I get 228 ms ping in NA server but 130 ms in EUW server in LoL, so EU server should be a good news for me.
The issue is, will there ever be enough players in EUW to make the MM somewhat acceptable?

Seeing as there isn't on the one server we have, what do you think?

One would hope that if you are playing in your server's prime playing times it should be acceptable, but good luck playing outside that!

I got a nice stable ping of 10 to the EU-Servers. It´s working nicely.
Usually I got a 100-110 Ping to the canadian servers.

And I also checked out some heromechs. The Quarantine is a a surprisingly nice ride!

We need MOAR players!

Come on, people, free chance to test 'Mechs!

[GreyNovember]

I had like one match.

No noticeable change really. Too far I guess.

Once it goes live, yes. If you're worried about too long MM times, just make sure you keep NA enabled.

Remember, PTS aside, you won't be forced to choose only one server!

[stjobe]

I installed it and sat in queue for 45 minutes yesterday. There was exactly 9 people online at that time.

How do I know?

The queue was 11% lights, 33% mediums, 44% heavies, and 11% assaults the whole time.

Ok, then how about Trying MASC? Can't find EXE on the trial mech list!

Er... You get 50,000 MC, 500,000,000 C-Biils, and 500,000 GXP to spend on 'Mechs, skills, and modules - just buy one?

[Greenjulius]

I'm from the US, Central Time, so it's only 2:30 for me. I'm still going to be at work for another hour but I will jump on there tonight to help test.

Does the PTS client have Wave 3 mechs unlocked for MC/C-Bills?

(NA player): Well I get decent enough ping to any WT server and so leave all selected,I'm betting it will be the same here.
Not bothering with the test though, itll take too long to install and i've got no free hdd space
