The long connection time issue hasn't been addressed properly if at all (1-1.5 wasted minutes of my time for every match - unacceptable), but despite that fact I still enjoyed the revamped Crimson Straight map (strongly disliked it previously). Please send my regards to the map designers/creators team. Unfortunately I hadn't time to check if Forest Colony became playable finally but I hope that lighting there has been tuned.

Wait, so now we can only choose mechs in our preset Drop Decks for CW, and can't update those on the fly once you get in a queue, only select between Drop Deck 1 and 2?

[tee5]

No editable Dropdeck during waiting times and in the last 1 min.
No single mech can be edited?
Only complete Dropdecks?
You wanna sell more Dropdecks? Clever!

But I will just stop playing your **** (not good) gamemode.

Change something, nobody was asking you to change.
Editing of single mechs was fine, nobody complained about it, you changed it.

[Husker Dude]

Looks like changing planet also un-readies the entire group.

I love love LOVE the way Crimson Tide looks. Fantastic job. I also love the cyclops. These monthly patch releases have been getting better and better imo. Cudos pgi

Can I get a refund on my Vipers? If they aren't going to be fixed, I'd rather spend my cash elsewhere.

What's wrong with your Vipers?

Looks like PGI broke the MINI map again

[Tier5 Kerensky]

This minimap is very bad. The poor contrast in texts makes them unreadable on some maps. Both for map tiles as well as friendly mech positions, specially for your own lance color.

The new crimsom is much more lively, like it.

I think some of the calls for arms are buggy. I received call for scouting, tried to take it but since I had no "drop deck", couldn't. Went to make a drop deck, the same scout call came again, several times I tried to select it but it always jumped into invasion queue.

Mini map changes are bad for anyone that is colour blind , great work PGI . unable to edit drop decks when waiting for a match is another bad move . un-ready every 30 second is another bad coding . Patch is so full of bug , but I think we all expected this from PGI . Bet a hot fix in acouple of days like normal . think we all should get paid for testing every patch they make . we doing their jobs for free , like hell .

Not only that, each new player who joins the group does the same.

Also, it seems some of the terrain on crimson can be shot through.

[justcallme A S H]

The minimap...

Once again. Horrible, just horrible.

This was my biggest fear with this "drop deck" change, that we would be no longer able to edit single mechs.

If this is true - FP just got even more painful experience wise.

I just do not understand these decisions. Who's making them? A monkey?





What must this happen patch, after patch. Stuffing around with stuff that no user has issues with, but creating more in the process.

You are giving too much credit to mr. Paul Inouye, his mental capabilities, in my personal opinion, can not compete to those superior of your average ape, they are too quick and smart damn beasts. Give him a handicap please, PGI proved being capable to deliver what they promise in 2-3 years.

[EK556]

Mini Map messed up a second time? Really PGI? Did you even test the changes you made yourself? You don't have to be colour blind to have hard difficulties reading the map - on the snow covered maps it is even impossible to read it. My suggestions would be - on bright maps black letters and numbers, on dark maps please white letters and numbers. And please make them bigger so you can read them better.

Nonetheless - new Crimson looks really good and my framedrops are way less than on the redesigned Forest and Viridian.

And the Cyclops? It looks great and I like it very much. The warhorn - wow - it just sounds epic. And every player within my unit is thrilled by that warhorn too.

[Falconer Cyrus]

"Favourites" implies SEVERAL favourite mechs (not 50 out of 100). Hence there should be no selection filters, just a plain list of mechs.
Disappointed.

[Mr Inconsistent]

Thank you. Connecting time is sufficiently fixed

Edit: 26/08/16 - connecting time is still ****...

What does the little radar icon on the right of the in-game screen mean? It sometimes appears just above where the consumables are displayed.

[Kael Posavatz]

Even if you want to go with fixed dropdecks for invasion mode, 4 is too few to be of practical value.

It's a sensor from a nearby Cyclops teammate. Kinda target gethering info.

The way a Cyclops influences gameplay (rather, it's tacticom) should've been explained in more detail. Right now, for a lot of people it is "+150m sensor range".

Dropdecks anf Favos are nice, good to see favourite mechsback again after more than two years of waiting since UI 1.1 got ditched.
I really like the Crimson Map, give the mapdesigner a free coffee on my tab pls. Lots of detail making this map less sterile. Still, it's not outright beautiful, but that is because the engine on which this game is running is still broken as hell. Modern shading/lighting would do help a lot. Dx12 or Vulkan would improve FPS on a LOT of systems, helping especially the middle end and low end sytem-users.
And I've come to the conclusion that you can easily discern a well-programmed game by the way it's interface handles a high resolution screen (Retina or even 4k/UHD) - design per Pixel is just so outdated, good games scale absolutely well.
Even the not so new-Diablo does perform way better than the nonsense they call UI 2.0.

And finally... pls show some love to the bad mechs, especially if you introduced them recently. Phoenix Hawk and Viper are plain bad, like in, Vindicator-levels of bad. In essence, there's no need to bring a Viper if you own an ACH. The way this game works the ACH is even sturdier than a Viper, so the medium got nothing for it.
Phoenix Hawk is just a bad Cicada/BJ, depending on the reactor used. It COULD bring a tad versatility to the IS-mediums, but without proper quirks, it is always a bad choice.
