I'm expecting to see some non-bloodnamed and bloodnamed Steel Viper players coming in soon.

And all kinds off loadouts possible with the light engine that are not possible to use.
Who tests this stuff.

After patching I went to run repair tool and it said every file in the game wasn't needed. I closed everything and ran it again and it still said it. Figured I would run it anyways (you know for science and what not) and yeah, it does actually delete the whole game. I usually run the repair tool after patches so I'm guessing something in patch caused it, unless I'm the only one with the issue, then I don't know.

Guess they should have had one more PTS after all. ;o

Well, first match in the new Timber MCII-1S and I get over 1000 damage 3 kills

Very happy with this assault mech. Perfect blend of mobility, firepower, speed etc...

Lets see how long till it gets nerfed into the ground.

It will be nerfed to be on par with the Mad IIC and KDK around the time that it is available for C-BILLS, this is the standard M.O. for a Clan Mech release.

Why would someone prefer to play Jade Falcon tagalongs rather than Jade Falcons themselves?

Why is premium time active? Shouldn't it be saved until I turn it on in my profile?

WP. What loadout did you use? I'm just thinking now about equipping that Mech and taking it for a spin.

It used to be banked for prior Mech Packs, but they switched it to (and promoted it as) "Active Premium Time" for recent Mech Packs.

Many of us don't like the change. But at least they reintroduced Premium Time to the standard packs recently - activated - which is better than no Premium Time at all.

Now the PT that comes with mech packs is always active.

PGI seems to think that banked premium time is OP...

Premium Time being bankable is about the only thing that every MWO player agrees on.

The issue PGI was seeing with free banked time as a perk of buying a mechpack was that it was adding a lasting value (until used) to the account. If you let your thoughts walk a few steps further in how an online game account could be treated as a commodity, you can understand why they did what they did.

I was testing how the ballistics look on the new Uziel, and noticed there's a bug when trying to put a heavy gauss on the UZL-2S left torso. It'll show up on the right torso instead, and remove the cover from the left hard point making it look hollow. Looks the same even if you put one in each side torso.

I can't even get MWO or Steam to run... do I need to reinstall the game?

[mad kat]

Ssshh don't tell anyone. Heavy machine gun Arrow........... It's beautiful!

[Dermot Von Jankmon]

Cougar H is totally jacked up

Can remove the side torsos and put jump jets on it still

Remove head pod but it doesn't allow me to move the ECM (As advertised I'd be able to do)

Can't buy additional COU-H heads for C Bills

Also Cougar is hella squishie, Its gonna need some durability quarks.

Plz PGI hot fix this, I've spent a ton of money on your game, I've not complained about ANYTHING. But this. Yeah I'm going to complain about

Did you try turning it off and back on again? (from the UK help desk)

Ok, been a while since I got a pack with PT attached. Don't see how it's 'free' though since it comes attached to a cash-purchased package. Is any PT bankable anymore?

Because they don't want to be Jade Falcon all the time and it gets boring playing as the big 4.

Yes, I am aware that it is a business decision and I know why they chose to do that, but that does not make my previous post any less accurate.

I guess if there were meaningful differences between the factions, like unique Mech Variants, or unique Quirks it would be different.
