Hey everyone we're aware of some issues right now when attempting to login, as we're currently looking into this. As soon as I have some more information I'll let everyone know here.

Thanks,

Steam client. Waving at fellow mechs in-match. Kicked out. Repeatedly told by launcher to "check MY internet" connection. News Flash: It ain't my internet connection that's the problem. Sure, I am happy you guys are back up before the announced time, but don't be like other devs and shoot the blame at the client/player when your servers just went down and came back up.

EDIT: Got back in... and now my mech is locked with no way to join the previous match since the whole thing went down.

Also, was kind of expecting the dailies to update since today is the final hours of the 12th day. Kinda surprised they didn't.

fp mkay you get more tonnage to drop with in both Invasion and Scouting, your faction map is so pushed in cuase most the merc units decided to fight for clans, btw the merc units had pushed the clans back same season before deciding to slam IS. More newbs play FP as IS simply cuase the mechs are cheaper (even though they dont realise they equally roughly the same after upgrades) the more seasoned players play clans cuase they can afford to, its simply not the mechs its the players skill gap. speaking of which you have Anni's which are hella powerful mechs, and yet clans dont get their Stone Rhino the direct counterpart to an Anni (Behemoth IIC for you IS wetnoses)

I play both going back and forth with my unit and clan mechs are better. IS is getting closer to parity, but clan mechs are ton for ton better.

I can not seem to log in now that the patch downloaded :/ I hope its just the servers and not my computer...

[suffocater]

First the download stopped about 10 times and needed a steam restart and now this. NO FUN!

It's the servers. Up and down. Just exit out and try again. Matchmaking is pretty much sitting still right now.

[PanzerTC]

I keep getting Error Code 61. I just waited two hours to get this download and up and running. I want my "fix" before I need to go to sleep. Not a happy MechWarrior here...

Got in twice - got kicked out twice. Game running even thought the servers are down...strangeness...

All is good, just need my fix for the day before sleep.

Yup. And as I said, the matchmaker is dead right now even if you manage to get in. Just give 'em 30 mins or so.

[ThomasAH]

I hope we get an extension of today's 50MC event, my evening basically started with the patch downtime and might end before the problems are resolved.

[suffocater]

Seems to be running again.

[Bobby Jubraj]

Hey everyone I can confirm we were able to get this issue resolved as we're back up and running again.

Thanks for all your patience with this

fp mkay you get more tonnage to drop with in both Invasion and Scouting

Your missiles weigh half as much, your energy weapons do more damage for the same tonnage (and even some weigh less), your ballistic weapons weigh less and take less critical slots, your engines weigh less. If you take one of the most popular builds right now, the gauss/laser Deathstrike, and try to do it with IS weapons and equipment, the Deathstrike would be a 106.5-ton mech (equivalent Light engine is 8.5 tons lighter, Gauss is 3 tons lighter, large lasers are 1 ton lighter). If you want scouting, one of the most popular and successful Clan scouting builds, the mass-SRM Huntsman, would be a 62-ton mech with IS tech.

And those merc units keep repeatedly saying that it's because Clans are better. Because guess what, they are.

Stone Rhino is more of a counterpart to the Fafnir, in how it plays. Better equivalent would be the Bane.

And I am unable to find the Manual Patch File Download in the News Post, where it should be??? What awful madness is going on here???

That's it... I'm tracking this one down myself... Let's see... Here we are...

...and now all of those who find this method a hell of a lot more reliable can start their patching.

Linebacker, Stormcrows and the other Clan heavies going 81 kinda beat out a 20-ton that can't straight-up fight any of the above. It's why Conquest is the Clan's best mode.
Clan weapons and engines weighing less counts for a lot, tonnage-wise.

For an 18-ton weapon that forces a standard engine and has a really hilariously low optimal range? Yeah, let's hope it's pretty good. Meanwhile, where's the IS's equivalent to the Heavy Medium? Because 10 damage for a 1-ton/2-slot weapon is more reasonable than 25-damage for a 18-ton/11-slot weapon?

Clan weapons have higher alphas. When IS gets 500m, 64-damage alphas, you can have your durability quirks.

Again, your weapons being a lot lighter counts for a lot.

Please play faction before you start complaining IS is overpowered. Heck, look at the faction play map.

We play Faction Play on a regular basis. You might want to actually play some yourself, otherwise you'd have seen us.

May not be a bad idea considering today's next challenge hasn't been put up yet (~3h to go as of this post)...this could give them some more time to make that happen without having to rush things out last minute.
