So today, as of right now, the patch is live.

I'm looking to try and collect info on it, such as How well the mechs that have been buffed/nerfed are doing, as well as the new mech, known as the bushwacker, so hopefully some of you around here can help and compile how well the bushwacker is to you, or how well other mechs perform to you now.

I'll contribute by recording a session of the new main menu music and the Orion IIC now buffed, once It patches, I'll remove my soundpacks and wait for the new music.

NEW MUSIC:


Mechlab:



Faction Play:

I would be interested in whether the Orion is now considered worth piloting, now that it's a bit tougher. As far as contributing data, I'm not sure how much I can help. The only mech I have that's been affected is the Huntsman, so I guess I can give it a few go's to see how it's going for you.

Are you just looking for impressions, or do you want screenshots or such? How methodical are you trying to be?

Anything really. Be it text, or be it screenshots is entirely up to you.

Well, first look right off the bat - Steam doesn't seem to have gotten the new launcher. It's the same old one, though it does get you into the game.

So... manually only update, or did they goof?

The Command Console STILL hasn't been buffed? It's been almost a year now!

Well, isTCs=cTCs without the tonnage rule, so they could go add that InnerSphere equip flag right now, if they wanted

Summoner did not get the extra 20% velocity without the Nipples


In fact, since the velocity is attributed to the arm, you can take the 10% velocity with the Nipples
The STs have ERPPC heat (15%) and energy cooldown, so at least it's something for the Ape Arms

I'll have a video or 3 up with the music later today. Nvidia Shadowplay is giving me a headache right now...

You know, they're probably going to make IS TCs 0.5 tons heavier per TC level. And I am going to laugh and laugh and laugh. And then cry. And then laugh.

Why did the Night Gyr paint job get changed?

Paint used to cover most of the mech almost like the KDK but now it looks like older clan mechs with small section that are paint covers but rest is metal colored.

The Viper and the KDK kept their full body paint but not the NTG...why, just why?

I run mine all the time now.
Those huge torso are easy to it, but you can roll damage like grandma rollin some pie crust.
They can only get better.

So far the Orion IIC seems more tankier, which I like.

I've actually been scoring more higher consistently these past two matches- 600+ damage and at least 1-4 kills.

[GrimRiver]

The Dragon looks tanky now with it's armor and structure buffs and the Atlas armor buffs too, well some of the atlai at least.

I haven't checked yet, but I'm pretty certain the music score is Written by the same Musician, that did the music for HBS's Shadow Run series

Anyone got Scorch screenshots? Really curious to see how good of a job they did patching the camo.

[Snazzy Dragon]

Mechs that had their torso twist yaw turn rates nerfed are really noticeable. Makes brawling in a huntsman a pain and it's harder to spread damage in. On the hunchback IIC it feels appropriate but it feels a little overkill for the huntsman.

I got you covered. Posting in a moment



It... looks more burnt, I guess. Still not very pretty compared to the concept art. All color channels are now unlocked, though, instead of just one.

Thanks for posting!

That's... underwhelming. Is there still only a single unlocked color channel?
