I just wonder what does Russ even consider to be soooooo special, NEVER done before, etc.

I'll be preparing for massive disappointment, personally.

Well Juodas, we know that we can cross LAM's and Quads off his list, LAM's he's afraid of and Quads he thinks belong in a circus...

Spoiler

So I guess that makes the Scorpion LAM part of a flying circus?

Narrower, with beefier arms for shielding the ST's that mount that large 360 IS-XL engine.... then again I'd also re-tool it from the ground up as a 85t omni with Endo and a 340 IS-XL... better weight efficiency.

Changing tonnage?

They could also take the Black Hawk KU, she's never been in a game as far as I am aware, granted she is just an IS 60t Nova, but still not something that has been done before.

Ugh. The IICs are bad enough, now we may get II-ISs. Gross.

How ever based on his wording, I half wonder if it will be a pure PGI creation from the ground up... but doing that they have to be very careful with how to build it, it can't be too good, but it can't suck either.

This occurred to me as well.

Honestly, my opinion on it is 'Your game, you paid for the license, fairs far.' But since PGI couldn't write fluff for the Most Interesting Man In The World, and they'll get blasted for either optimizing the hitboxes/hard points for MWO, or for not doing so, I think it's probably a bad idea.

I mean, Alex's art is never a 1-to-1 with that TRO art. We'll see what we get.

Almost. And the 3D modelers can only be so and so accurate to the concept art. Their models are for the most part ( or all imo ) never 1 to 1 with Alex's art.

IS omni mech....

[Tordin]

They can save that for easter instead. There needs to be something more worthwhile than a frigg'in IS omni. Seriously

[Gas Guzzler]

There should be other feature announcements for sure.



Maybe the special mech is >100 tons?

I can live with that, but the Sunder and Mad Cat Mk. II are both mechs I think would (and mathematically) be better being 5t lighter than they are, both gain approximately 1t give or take to work with, in the case of the Sunder she gains 1.5t extra pod space, with having max efficient standard armour (16.5t) with standard structure.

[TheArisen]

Well the MWO Sunder could be modeled after the MW4 Sunder which had big shield arms but it's torso was still exposed. Maybe a MW4 inspired with higher arms would help the ST not be easy picking.

But now for my letter...

Dear Santa,

I work very hard at being nice and I believe I generally succeed.

I still enjoy MWO and I don't want to complain but I wish it was deeper with greater variety. I wish for a FP where planets, economy and strategy matter, with maps of various types. I wish for new weapons and defensive equipment. Perhaps there could even be new game modes like Solaris and/or a Pve campaign! I hope I'm not overdoing it but could I ask for either the Nightstar or the Berserker? The Berserker or any melee mech would be just incredible.

I promise to have a wide variety of cookies like chocolate chip & snickerdoodles.

Tina confirmed in the other thread that there are no big announcement. Looks like Santa isn't real after all.

What? What do you mean?

[RestosIII]

Colorblind support and Clan Diamond Shark. Give me these basic things and I won't salt all of the Arctic. That's my deal, Santa.

No she didn't. She said there would be no big announcement during the Q&A part of the convention, because they're not actually Q&As, they're 'Mingle With the Devs' events. Which isn't terrible, of course, but Q&A makes people expect the wrong thing.

What I want for christmas is Warhammer IIC or Nova Cat and PvE gamemode.

Hey, don't you doubt what Santa can do!

(I know this, but way to kill the feel good thread ready :/ )

Russ will implement the M60A1 into MWO.

....and fix the barrels and boxes with rockets on top of the shoulders of many mechs (TDR, SMN, WHR just from top of my head)... so when you get shot at it -> you don't loose side torso. Maaaybe just loose weapon thats in it?

Same thing should go for those pillars on top of each side torso on phoenix hawk. Gets shot off... maybe loose JJ and/or heatsink?

Too much to ask?

I'm also waiting for the Warhawk to get its LRM launcher fixed on the Prime variant, so it gets moved up onto the shoulder joint instead of the ridiculously terrible spot it is in now, aka underneath the guns.
