I thought you wanted power draw to limit dakka as well? I mean, if you can actually do damage to another mech, someone might get upset when they get killed by a loadout different from their's.


I can still dakka even while limiting them. Assuming PGI can even implement the mechanism right in the first place. Posted Image

I'm sure they'll announce at least one new mech on the first day of April...

The last thing we need is more Mechs.

I believe all mechs deserve a place under the multiple suns, no matter how many legs they have!

Too bad you went anti MK II on me... I would have tried to help. Now you're on that other list of mine.

CW3 top priority

Retro-fit all older mechs so new camo's work on them. Faction camo's on old IS mechs for example.

Re-size is in full swing, Get'it done before any new mechs are released...

Yes that would make me very happy... As re-size is probably going to be one of the largest balances changes yet. But my guess is one of them will slip in before re-size is completed.

So many mechs now.. i can wait a bit to get my old ones updated Posted Image Give the Vets a reason to fire up some old favs.. and show the new players how great some of um can be. I wonder if my commando is going to shrink.

I swear if the Steiner/Davion camo on the Banshee is mediocre I will flip.

I'm predicting Kurita camo will still be superior to them. ;)

Yep, possibly obsoleting the Catapult-C4 in the process, which is not hard to do. C4 is really meh.


If they stick to the lore, it will obsolete the C1 too, unless the quirks focus solely on srms.

You realize they are putting faction camo on the older mechs and making sure that all mech have all cams right?

So no new mech for April? I guess we will find out in a week if we get some of the long awaited variants of current mechs... such as:

CTF-3L
WVR-7M
VTR-9A
SMN-M
Those crazy Resistance 2 variants in the game files (Mauler with energy chests and ballistic arms, BK with right arm ballistic, Crab with shoulder PPCs)

Any others? Theories?


Think you are forgetting PGI works in small bursts Gas, we're lucky the burst has lasted this long!

Just give us more Ebon Jaguar pods.

Left. Torso. Ballistic.
Right. Torso. Energy.

This is the only thing I want in the game right now.

What happened with the new Catapult Hero PGI were talking about ... is it being released with the mech resize ?


They'd need to make the paint...that's about it.

It's a C1 C4 hybrid, and the LegoMech system means you can throw it together now...with tumours.

My speculation is that they've been drinking pretty heavy and have no intention or steady enough hands to operate keyboards well enough to accomplish much in April.

Does anyone think that PGI will remember to buff the Command Console this patch... as they had promised for the last patch... and then the one before that... and then a month before that... i'm detecting a pattern here. Posted Image

They didn't promise to buff it actually. They said they were going to but then released a statement saying that they were going to do a more in depth buff with added functionality, they did not provide a release date. Not sure when we will get it, but we will likely find out at next weeks Mech Pack Announcement Hall.

Anyway, I'm just hoping for some different variants of mechs already in game. MASC Cataphract would be cool, as would a dual Gauss Victor.

I'd love a new Banshee variant but all the lore variants left are similarish to what's in game already...
