Most from your era are gone, though a few stubborn/hardcore fans of the IP remain.

On behalf of the noobs (only playing two years). Welcome to this very different game.

There was no wipe. Also, you might have gotten some free mechs as Loyalty bonus. If you wanna buy new mechs, I suggest you to start with Clan battlemechs.

Very soon (within a few months) a skill tree of some sort is being added, and new Civil War weapons.

And cockpit kittens! I made the kittens up :(

Fortunately for you the core game play hasn't changed so you will be able to pick up where you left off.

However, don't be expecting any pillars of the game you were promised, those are long gone for the most part.

Mechs now have "quirks" that influence their performance and durability, but it's (supposedly) going to be gone and replaced by a new skill tree soon.

As well, the 3 mech requirement will disappear when the new skill tree arrives....that might influence your c-bill/MC purchasing decisions for the near future.

Well, it looks like the purchased Hunchbacks are still in my bay along with the skills progression in them so thats good.

Not a huge fan of the loadout screen being pure text but I'll get used to it.

Dang mouse-look wont invert Y axis though. That couldn't be a known issue after all this time, could it?!?

Switch it from column to expanded mode. That way the mechlab functions like smurfy. Drag and drop.

Have you checked the "invert mouse y-axis" box in the game settings? (sorry if this is obvious, I never use it so can't say if it's bugged.)

Also: Welcome back to the game! I tried it out at the veeeeeery beginning, then had no time for games for the last 4 years, and have been back on for a few weeks. Wishing I hadn't missed out on so much, but I'm enjoying it anyway. :\

Welcome back. I too am returning and have been playing for a bit over a week now, previously last active in 2013 before my first child was born.

Under controls I see an Invert Pitch Axis (not mouse specific) which doesn't affect the mouse-look one way or the other. Is there a separate setting for the mouse somewhere else I've missed?

Click on Settings. Right there. Don't go into any tabs. It's on the main page.

It's a good time to come back at least, to get familiar with what's here now then to get all those new weapons in a couple months

5-year vet here. I uninstalled 2 weeks ago because the crap that was annoying in closed beta is just exacerbated because of the high alpha, high speed meta. Game just wasn't fun anymore.

Good luck though! Maybe with fresh eyes you'll have some fun.
