It doesn't yet have its own PTS forum, which would appear here: https://mwomercs.com...lic-test-forum/ .. but it's going live in a few hours.

The forum for this PTS is at: https://mwomercs.com...ee-public-test/

The download is now enabled and you can start it.. although the website is now only giving you the option to use their new and super-crappy MWO Portal. https://mwomercs.com/game/download

..but if you still have the old PTS client, it now works and is downloading.

Also relevant: How to do the PTS without a huge download. https://www.reddit.c...hg8&sh=ccd339b0

Pushing the 'early' part of early February as hard as they can, I see.

Heh, ah well. Literally everyone expected delays, so nobody really over put out with this one I suppose. Will simply be good to finally see some real information in this "Comprehensive" post.

Provided it's as comprehensive as claimed, anyways.

Alright. Anyone want to schedule some times to play so that we can actually test this out without having little to no people on it or not knowing when to get on? I feel that we as a community should organize so that we can actually talk a good talk instead of just training ground talk and speculation on the battlefield.

More interested to see how balance is addressed by the skill tree and what kind of quirks are being utilized.

Yeah. Could do a solo video and just go through like 20-30 mechs. I'm usually the guy that can upload pretty quick so probably by tomorrow I could have a video up if the PTS is live tonight and I patch. Would also like to see what they have to say.

Yeah, Papa Smurfys says they're at 10 right now (the gold standard).

I'm not really sure what PGI is trying to fix with this 2.5 health nerf.

Where are ya'll seeing this stuff?

[Mcgral18]

Yeah, HoverJets are also 7.5 HP
Cockpit items are 4 HP
Gyro is still 10
Engines all remain 15

AC20 was increased to 25 (nice...but I'd say not enough)
AC10 now 15

cUAC10 still at 10, but so is the cAC10 (boo!)

Maybe make the cERPPC and cLPL be on the same level as the Gauss Rifle considering it is pretty vulnerable when the armor is stripped, since a GR is 12 tons with no heat and cLPL or cERPPC with heat but unlimited ammo.

That's my assumption.

LB20x at 16.5hp

What a strange number

So the skill tree PTS is also including a balance pass. Ughhhhhh

But what about the quirks???
