Do we get this or has it been forgotten about because of MECHCON?

Weird we haven't even had an action shot posted with the front page advertisemented for the pack with in the past week.

[Thorn Hallis]

Was wondering the same.

Are they hiding something from us? *suspense*

[N0ni]

Probably still trying to get an action shot or just can't decide on what mech it should be.

[Jay Leon Hart]

Maybe they're making sure the animations aren't garbage for 2/4 'mechs this time? I would prefer that to a countdown.

They're trying to figure out how to give the night star an extra arm slot so it won't be DOA.

Why not an extra arm if they are at it?

Easy make the actuators a toggle, you know like the one that's already in the game....

They really should just remove all hand actuators in the game (While leaving the models, of course). They serve no purpose, except to hurt the mechs that they're equipped on (IS mechs in particular, since 8 crits slots aren't divisible by 3 slot DHS).

[Trenchbird]

Especially since they set a precedent with the Black Knight hero.

That's fine with me, you know since we can't use them at all.

Different departments. I mean it's not like the community manager should do the animations. ... at least I hope so.

That's not entirely accurate. Even if it doesn't get that actuator removed it will still be a force to be reckoned with.

Besides don't worry, there are a select few elite forumites that have PGI's inner ear and proven themselves remarkably capable (esp in the last year) at getting changes implemented, buffs/nerfs etc. - If things go as anticipated, you're Nightstar will have it's actuators removed, have faith. The more I think about it, and in the interest of streamlining balance effort, why not give the hand actuator toggle across the board to everyone, as someone said earlier. Nothing is sacred anymore, after all. cheers.

Ya nope, PGI switched over to Omnitech years ago. Everything is interchangeable.

When is this Mechcon?

True, but it would make the Nightsar the only BattleMech that could do so. I can hear the "POWERCREEP!" and "PAY TO WIN!" crowd already...

Funny about that. Seems that P2W accusations runs both ways. Colour me surprised.
