Blackjack

Laser Duration Quirk has been removed.

Energy Heat Gen Quirk has been decreased to -10%.

The hot fix also includes these additional fixes and changes:

• Fixing an issue with 'Mech Portraits when running at triple-monitor resolutions.
• Fixing a Pattern issue with 2015 Loyalty 'Mechs.
• Fixing an audio issue with the Marauder when a component has been destroyed.
• Adjustments to the update frequency for HUD elements.

• The December 1st patch included some changes to the HUD in an effort to reduce its performance footprint. While this led to a performance boost of up to 10 fps for a wide range of systems, for certain configurations and players this led to HUD elements sometimes appearing jittery. The adjustment in this hot-fix is intended to improve the smoothness with which HUD elements appear to change, while still trying to retain some of the performance improvements introduced in the December 1st patch.

The maximum estimated downtime required for this hot-fix will be approximately 30 minutes.

When services are restored you will be required to apply a small patch.

[Ventarles]

Oh good Gargoyle got buffed with mobility. It was really unplayable from 1st dec patch and now i can hop in it back :]

[Colonel ONeill]

It would have been so much easier to leave the clans as they have been, and just tune the IS quirks to get em in balance...

[Riot Frost]

My mind tells me its fine, but somehow i feel cheated with the blackjack 1x

[Randall Flagg]

DIREWOLF needs love.

All the love.

[Carchemish]

Good stuff, those mechs needed some love. And for the next iteration...time to drop the clan negatives! With all the clan nerfs and IS buffs, I think its time to say goodbye to the negative energy quirks on clan mechs!

Yours truly,

Carchemish the all-seeing

[Navid A1]

No love for Adder-Prime ??!!
(a typo? ... we have 2 ADR-Ds)

Also... Mist Lynx needs more energy heat reduction buffs, and ability to remove CAP.

Alsox2... No nova?... No ferret?

fixed

[Deathlike]

Well, I guess we'll see what the Executioner meta will entail.

Every other change is for many of the terrible Clan mechs (minus Nova, and Ice Ferret to a degree).

Meh.

The latter "Adder-D" is the Prime, because it has ERPPC heat gen quirks.

[Galenthor Kerensky]

here is something else for you folks to work on... I know for a fact this happens in victric forge, not sure about other places, but when you leave the drop zone unless you have jump jets or are very careful of how you get out of there there is a good chance that you are going to take leg damage, which we shouldn't be getting... and I am sure that I am not the only player who has experienced this. As for the event, we Wolves took it before, and we will again. we made our Khan, Merlin Conners, the IlKhan...

So... that is actually a 5% NERF to the adder prime ER-PPC capability?.... just wow!
Unbelievable!

I guess someone killed paul with an ERPPC adder recently!


it was a typo

Except for the massive disparity between the good and bad clan mechs.

Yes.

Welcome to MWO.

It'll be better at everything else though.. (10% heat gen doesn't really cover the sub-250 engine issue, but whatever).

well, after the HGN-733P ballistic quirk, its hard to get surprised by any other thing though!

[Windscape]

Easiest "quirk fix" is to add 2.5% ERPPC heat gen to both arms.. that will put it back more or less where was before.

That is what i expected to see.

actually i'm looking forward to seeing paul at the steam party...
