I liked the current pack formats. Hoping that I like the new ones as much.

Very excited for new weapons. That was my #1 ask.

[Requiemking]

Also, IS Lightmech. WHAAAAAAAAAT? I guess the Firemoth and Trollfish are off the table. SWEET RELEASE.

[Kasumi Sumika]

YAY! New tech and weapons for IS and Clans too in Summer!!!

[Deathlike]

Honestly was disappointed.

So much was veiled in non-specifics, that I might as well have gotten an basic outline of a long essay, instead of much else.

We have next to no shot that the new incoming stuff will be remotely balanced when introduced.

New tech. 2 new mechs from 3060+.



RUSS YOU BETTER NOT MAKE THAT CLAN 3060+ MECH BE THE BLOOD ASP.

All I want for Xmas 2017 are MRMs (Medium Range Missiles) and LFEs (Light Fusion Engines.)

New IS heroes would be nice.. but IDK if we'll really need heroes with the skill tree reset handing us back hundreds of millions of Cbills. I think this game needs a Cbill sink other than leveling mechs up with the new skill tree and consumable items.. something positive to do with hoarded Cbills instead of something negative and penalizing like R&R.

The tech balance stuff definitely disappointed, because the heat dissipation nerf on side-torso destruction is them missing the point. Then there was talk about using the skill tree to balance tech and we are at quirks 2.0 aka slapping yet another bandaid system rather than addressing the root cause directly. That and some vague info about the new pack structure which also worries me a bit since the latest incarnation ended up being more price gaugey than the last.

I'm starting to wonder how many times that new "Assault", now "Incursion" was delayed. It's like vaporware at this rate. Then there's IK.

I guess we'll figure out what's the new OP meta weapon/equipment in 2+ months.

IK really did disappoint me. Still no ETA on it? Wasn't it supposed to come out last year? But still, any new tech at all is hyping me up. And I try to avoid hype at all costs.

Yeah, agreed on this. The Skill Tree shouldn't even be a factor, because getting more usable base values for equipment is not impacted by the Skill Tree and they have to rework the quirks anyway.

The Inner Sphere and Clans will both be receiving two ‘Mechs, with at least one of their two respective ‘Mechs hailing from the 3060+ era.

Mad Cat Mk.II Confirmed.

I'm scared it will be, since that would explain why Russ is finally forcing the team to make new tech. But by god if it isn't the Mad Cat MKII, I'll be riotin'.

The blood asp has so much meta potential that it's not even funny. Plus, by multiple accounts-- it's Paul's favorite mech!

Heavy lasers ahoy, too!

If the Blood Asp gets added, we're going to have a full blown Kodiak situation all over again. I don't want that. .-.

This could mean that it will get a +3 modifier to its Dartboard of Balance™ rolls.


The road map says that it's two mechs per faction though, so it's entirely possible that we get both the Mad Kitty 2 and the Blood Asp.

What if they released both Mad Cat Mk.II and Blood Asp?
