Greetings MechWarriors,

We will be rolling out a hot-fix, currently scheduled for Thursday, August 25th at 5:00 PM PDT (Midnight UTC), with the following changes:

• Crimson Strait: Fixed collision issues with the central mountain that could cause 'Mechs to phase through.

• MechLab: Fixed an issue where accessing the Cockpit Item screen for the first time in a session would cause the Owned and Sale filters to not function.

• Mini-Map and BattleGrid: Improved the readability of Sector designations over the changes from the August 23rd patch. Sector designations now have slight drop shadows and are fully opaque.

• Supply Caches: Fixed an issue where a specific Supply Cache was listing Rarity types for some of its items that were inconsistent with the Rarity type of those items in other Caches. This was contrary to the intended design that items have the same Rarity type across all Caches. The Rarity type of the affected items in that Cache did accurately reflect their Rarity type in that Cache, however. We have opted to remove this Cache, replacing it with a new Cache containing items of higher overall value.

• Atlas: Fixed an issue where the Founder and Loyalty variants were not provided with the entirety of their intended Pattern support in the August 23rd patch.

• Centurion: Fixed an issue where the Loyalty variant was not provided with the entirety of its intended Pattern support in the August 23rd patch.

• Hunchback: Fixed an issue where Founder variant was not provided with the entirety of its intended Pattern support in the August 23rd patch.

Regarding the inability to edit Drop Decks while in Faction Play lobbies

With the introduction of Multiple Drop Decks in the August 23rd patch, players have been unable to edit their Drop Decks while lobbied for Faction Play Matches. While the work required to restore this functionality has not been completed in time for this hot fix, we are planning to restore Drop Deck editing in the Faction Play lobby in the September 20th patch.

We will update this post as necessary if any further changes to the content or its tentatively scheduled time arise.

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.

Just can't do something without breaking another, can you PGI? Good thing I am already jaded from FW...

[Zoose]

Not that CW/FW is in high demand, but apparently it must wait til the next patch to be addressed.

It doesn't help the state of FW either way.

[justcallme A S H]

A month to revert a change no one wanted?

Hopeless.

And it was a change, not a bug/fix given the 'cannot edit drop deck' message. It was premeditated.


Poor form.

[LordLosh]

Thank you for listening.
BUT A Month is way to long. like others have said and will continue to say FW is a joke and this just helps further push it into a comedy really. I don't change my mechs around a lot but im sure i would if i was hard core FW and i knew what planet or any intel my unit had.

In a month, those that still play CW will have given up

Yeah, I'm totally worried about this, too.

[malz79]

I mostly still play MWO as I like to be able to play FW. I really cannot believe PGI must take a month until the sept patch for them to restore editing of FW drop decks in lobbies. Maybe PGI just wants all of us to purchase the additional drop decks during this period of time?

Previous patch it was the connecting issue, Some people have actually given up on the game during that period of time. We waited a month for you to fix that.

Now this.

[XxMizeryxX]

Was just in a drop, where our whole team crashed came back and the opposing force had mixed matched decks IS and Clan. we faced off to 2 Kodiak's jenner iic I'll upload a clip soon. PGI What is this?

[justcallme A S H]

Sums up Phase 3 really - a total and utter balls up.

[Van mw]

I feel like about a month for drop deck is actually "forever". Seems like there is workaround though. Please add it to patch-note if it works.

Turns out you can edit drop decks in lobby. You gotta go to the social tab and then hit the little pencil.

[Anchovy]

Yes, some players are able to drop with Innersphere decks for the Clanside and vice-versa. Not loyalists pilots though.

So PGI, either fix it or state it's a new feature for merc pilots or an exploit etc please.

What is this 'Testing' you speak of...?

[tee5]

Make a hotfix for editable DropDecks or the blood of CW/FP is on your hands.
