I got booted and can't log back in. It keeps saying that there is a network error. I thought the PTS was going all the way through the weekend though?

I can't get in either..

Server status unknown in the launcher, and I can't connect to it either. Yeah, I think something's up at the moment, don't know what or why though.

EDIT: Nevermind, news post on the front page, PTS is over...apparently.

Yeah, just found it. Would have been nice of PGI to let us know when the end date was. I would have made time to try it yesterday rather than waiting until today. Ugh.

PGI just can't do anything right.

Was going to try getting on more starting tomorrow with the hopes that more people would be on but so much for that lol.

Yeah, they did this last time too, killing the PTS one day ahead of the weekend. It's almost like they don't want player volume on it.

Player volume risks more players fully seeing and experiencing the idiocy of their skill maze and all the related unbalancing nerfs. Better not risk that - and the cancelled mech packs that come with it - and just shut the PTS down early. Then, ram the skill maze down everyone's throats and hope that new tech sales will balance it out.

PTS finished for now which is crazy, I tried twice for about half an hour yesterday to find a match to no avail.

Pgi took it down , it only took them three days ....what is says on the forum post is and I quote

"Greetings MechWarriors,

The Skill Tree Public Test Session is now offline pending further tweaks and refinements as we approach its planned release in the May patch."


Basically the response on the forums was so negative that it took them three days to realize they better make some changes if the ever want to get the community to accept the skill tree.

That is very much not what they said they are doing. Filling the PTS with ****posts was a mistake if you wanted more changes than what they say they will be doing with Firepower (which was needed).

From what I saw, I was actually liking this round of PTS, but then I got booted from the servers before I could actually test everything in battle. I was only able to get in one Training Grounds drop.

I don't know if this is significant or not, but the PTS is down during one of the few weekends where there isn't an event going on the live servers.

That makes it even more significant, in my book.
