Hey, I've been gone awhile. A new job has me making more money but, not much time. Combine that with the absolute addiction of climbing the ladder in Hearthstone and I've been slacking on MWO.

Can anyone please give me a cliffs notes of any huge changes? I don't care about any new clan mechs. I'm only worried about things like changes to ghost heat and other core gameplay functions.


I've read through patch notes but, it's good to hear first hand stuff. Thnx, in advance for any input.

I'm sure someone could, but first we need to know how long ago you last played.

Thanks for the reply, the last big deal I remember was Urbie coming out. That was pretty fun.

Elo has been replace with psr which is reflected mostly by match score but we don't have a precise formula. 2 maps have been redonr. River city and forest colony. Others are on the way. Caustic valley is next followed by alpine or Terra therma next

Forgive the typos. Phones suck.

Here a couple things i remember:

• Some of the 'mech quirks have been changed/adapted
  
• LL and LPL ghost heat now starts only when firing >3
  
• weapons that now don't trigger ghost heat any more: all AC-2's, all LBX, IS: SL, SPL, MPL
  
• pulse lasers have been rebalanced compared to the standard variants (not sure if that was before or after the urbie)
  
• Clan (U-)AC's now have shorter bursts click me
  
• some new maps for CW and old regular maps are being reworked. Forest Colony and River City are alreaady done and look quite beautiful
  
• match rewards have been changed up a bit to include a bunch more activities besides raw damage and kills/assists
  
• bacon and coffee are still delicious
  
• The whole IS quirk system is likely to change substantially in the near future. There has been a public test recently for some of these changes
