Now they are only releasing one mech in a pre-order at a time?

[Rhaythe]

They advertise the release dates up front. Not sure what the gripe is.

[MeiSooHaityu]

Guess so.

BTW we have the Mauler, have seen the Black Knight and Crab, so where is the Wolfhound? No teasers, pics, nothing on MWO's Instagram.

Come on PGI, we need to see how the Wolfhound is looking .

Maybe they are hung up on its design. Probably debating on whether to give it a more conventional look or more canine look. Either way, it better look way different than the Panther.

It needs to have Jackal ears.

I think they are debating whether to give it Cheater hitboxes or not...

[MeiSooHaityu]

Cool. I just found new concept art for the head of the Wolfhound.

Here is the old...



Here is the new...

Spoiler

They changed it a bit from the first drawing, but I think I would have kept the "ears" back instead of down.

Nice. The cheetah has very good and tight hitboxes.

I thought they had been doing that for a while now??

[Gas Guzzler]

They are just doing 1 mech at a time with this pack. After the massive surge in the Assault queue I think they will try to avoid this in the future. That being said, it is cool that we will already be seeing Black Knight countdown stuff next week

Oh, I lament for the poor heavy queue on the 22nd.

That is the perfect time to level up your maulers, right now I'm taking lights out most of the time to kill new assaults.

Lol. I was being foolish and running a dual gauss build on the Mauler with an XL engine. As the night got later, I was raging pretty hard at lights who would open up my rear side and crit my gauss...

Ah well, good times, that's what I get for running a stupid build.

Ran the same build for a bit, but alas XL + Mauler seems to be a no go, especially with gauss torso.

Agreed. If running a 2P, I think a STD290 is acceptable with 6 MLasers and about 9 tons of ammo (and good armor distribution). That's what I'm doing.

Yeah I am doing similar but less ammo, bigger engine.

Sounds good. I may need to set a side some funds to do that. I'm using the engine I have already right now. I think it is a 290 or 295.

No Gripe. Just an observation. Previous packs had two mechs released at a time and it was easier on the drop queues
