1) Silken finished his Clans Versus IS event. IS won very decisively (I called it). I was unable to watch the stream, so I'm not sure what kind of variables may have been present, but it seems to have been a pretty thorough test. I think it's time we fully unlocked the Clan chassis and made them fun again.
2) I keep hearing good things about Polar Highlands, but still haven't dropped on it yet. Out of desperation this morning, a Unit buddy and I decided to duel on it via the Private Lobby, just so that I can say I've had the experience of playing on the map. I liked it considerably. It had plenty of cover, but also some open areas and really seemed to capture the feel of a windswept snow field with trenches and broken terrain.
3) The voting system still needs work or complete removal (I favor the latter). Kept blowing my multiplier this weekend in an effort to build it so that I could force a Highlands match. I gave up and just sat out of the voting, only casting a vote for Highlands when it appeared. Today alone, I'm up to a x7 multiplier and still no Highlands other than that Private Match.
4) IIC Mechs look like fun and make me want to play them. Too bad I'm forcing myself to Master my R1 and R2 Mechs first though, lol.
5) Now that PGI has shown an inclination to construct new maps instead of just revamping all the old ones, could we have another one like Terra Therma? That is, in my opinion, one of the coolest maps visually. I love the craters, lava flows, and embers that drift in the air. On that topic, now that we have the Highlands as a long-range type map, could we get an underground cavern type, with passageways of varying sizes (some that could only admit Lights and Mediums), along with low ceilings and a very brawly set-up? Maybe combine it with the Terra Therma idea to make it a hot, underground labyrinth that's well lit from the lava flows?
6) PPC and SRM hit reg still make me sad.
7) Summoner still makes me sad.
8) Free stuff from these events makes me happy though. Thank you PGI!
9) I'm still waiting for my Devastator BattleMech very patiently. Soon?
10) Looking forward to seeing what the new Clan Mechs will be for Wave IV. Hoping that PGI will awaken from its madness and let us customize them instead of locking half the Mechs down tight.
11) Game needs more immersion. TBRN's tired of waiting and moved ahead on its own to fill the gap. One of our programmers has done some pretty amazing things with Enjin to give us some awesome content. *Wink* You guys will get to see it when he's done. It'll be one of our Unit perks.
12) My weekend is practically over.
