Hi everyone, I used to play MWO a ton, but after moving to NZ and suffering from terrible pings I hung up my neurohelmet. With the new Oceanic servers I'm willing to hop back in the cockpit. What have I missed in the past year or so? Is CW a thing yet? The last thing I remember was that they announced King Crabs (and I appear to have one in my mechbay)!

What Imperius said.

But to be honest, the answer is: not much.

The game is slowly improving, but there's no big feature or new content you need to know about. New River City is good. New Forest Colony will be out on Tuesday, looks even better.

CW is not a thing.

Vast improvements to hit reg.

Other than that, not much of substance.

Lots of stuff.

The most pertinent for you though, would be the HSR updates.

Us southbound peeps have long suffered under the specter of terrible hitreg, but the latest HSR update just before the regional server rollout was nothing short of miraculous.

I get great registration now, on Oceanic, NA, and even with the 350+ pings of the AU servers. The game is more than playable, everywhere.

Tick all the server boxes and see for yourself, and welcome back!

Edit:

OOH, and as far as that crab of yours goes, try THIS. It's no brawler thanks to it's hitboxes, but if you're a little patient, wait for something to blunder into you, and fire every seconds or so. The equivalent of an AC20 every second. Awesome.

and after 1 whole year, they released URBIES (7.4.2015, announced 1.4.2014)

More imbalance, more powercreep, more ECM spam, more lagshield terrorist lights, and you die 10x faster because hitreg got a big overhaul.

CW is dying, we got a new River City map, Urban mechs, More clan laser vomit, Arctic Cheaters, MASC.

<- yes salty.

People saying "not much" are wrong. There's been a lot, maybe not to the magnitude of what people want or expect, but take the time to read and you'll get a better picture, rather than the unenthusiastic responses.
