I too am unusually enthused for the Escalation countdown and am wondering where it's got to. I'm sure the reasons for its absence are eminently reasonable. Until it arrives, here's a musical interlude:

Boom problem solved.

I'd love it, that would help my BattleMechs so much, most notably my IS ones. But I don't want to have to deal with all the Clan players whining that "this was an OmniMech advantage!"

A pgi insider just informed that the reason for there not being any updates is because they are planning on releasing patch notes at Mechcon after the patch is released.

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

CAN'T BE DONE.

BattleMech something something OmniMech

Its always a crap shoot whether or not they start on Wednesday or Tuesday. This might be like that one countdown they did where we got more than one thing a day but started on Thursday or Friday.

Day 1 being badges doesn't mean **** to me. I want to see screen shots, agility/mobility stats, and hardpoint locations, and quirks I guess.

Day 2: Still no signs of life. Continuing search north while keeping an eye out for that white moose. I found a red crayon today, i'm going to eat it.

It will be on Friday.

I ask the same thing, and got told to go watch a failed movie at the theater.

We've always had a countdown . . . no matter what. I guess Alex or Tina have forgotten this. Or Russ decided this time, there's not going to be one.

This really irks me. Cause I want to see my Nova Cat. I paid for the full package, and this is what I get? Thanks for nothing, PGI.

This pretty much here.

Hand actuators do nothing but cripple mech builds. They provide no bonuses, and the black knight hero Partisan has already set the precedent as mentioned in this thread that you can still have the visual looks of the hand without having a lower arm actuator OR a hand actuator.

So why not have both looks AND actual viability?

At this point i say bring it. I have to deal with IS'ers Reeeeing at me constantly for being Clan, i want to see my fellow warriors let loose their best vatborne waterworks.

Why not an extra arm if they are at it?

Couple extra legs would be nice

Kinda wish Battletech had done a better job with quads and other non-humanoid designs back in the day. The Kabalevsky quadruped from Robot Jox made them look awesome:



Impractical, but awesome

Half way through day 3 and still no sign of anything, this is most concerning and perplexing -.-

Not sure why you're getting worked up, you've already achieved your Mechwarrior Endgame - getting the Madcat MkII

[Gas Guzzler]

I'm pretty surprised we haven't seen anything yet.

[Tordin]

I guess tomorrow.

I hope they're not removing the hands, my wallet might open
