Pretty sure the Cougar already has the right quirk. So its only going from 12% to 13%.

Fine, but 1% is 1%

I don't know if it's a bug on my PC or what, but after the patch, the IS UAC20 sound effect is gone.
When I fire it on my Atlas it's mute....

So....again i ask... (and I posted in the patch forum too), WHY don't the Arctic Cheetah and the omni variants of the Arctic Wolf get the same heat quirk ? They're all capped to a 240 engine, and thus all only have 9 engine mounted heat sinks. Why don't they get the same 7.5% quirk as the blackjack, vindicator and commando variants with the 235 or 240 engine caps ?

In the loadout section I get the warning: "Firing more than 1 SRMs, MRMs, simultaneously will result in a heat spike higher than normal"

Is that supposed to be like that?

More info required. What do you have equipped?

Most likely a mistake - "Gift store" is the cash shop ( https://mwomercs.com/store/gifts#view6 ), not in-game store.

If it follows the same schedule as the previous loyalty mechs (which a March release to Gift Store is consistent with), expect it to appear in the in-game store for MC in July and C-Bills in August.

The reason Streaks 'seek out arms and legs' is because the goofy Lights keep JUMPING putting the legs closer to the missile flight path AND because they are stupid fast and stupid fast facing you and running doughnuts around you puts the trailing arm closest to the Missile flight path.

[Dee Eight]

The loyalty mechs were mistakenly added to the in-game store as well, including with their cbill and MC prices...which are also WRONG (they're lower than they should be for their equipment fits).

I hope someone at PGI is reading this thread right now. Unless they're allowing an early release intentionally (or both you and I have severely missed something we should have read, in which case there may be a reason that they're at those odd prices), this probably shouldn't have happened. I get the feeling there's going to be some in-office yelling and madness when they catch up with this. I just hope nobody has abused this in the meantime, or PGI's going to have to shut EVERYTHING down for long enough to correct the accident.

Well, either that, or they can take the opportunity to launch a Sale in the near-future just to slap those Abusers in the face really hard. Stopping the works would likely result in a P.R. 'Nightmare' again. On the other hand, launching a Sale would draw a lot of positive P.R. instead. Darnit, don't ya just hate a double-edged sword like this?

What abuse? Even if some of the prices are a bit wonky I don't think any of them are low enough that you could make money back by selling them.

Or do you mean like how you tried to abuse the Kit Fox portion of the Lunar New Year's Event for 99 extra warhorns?

I was thinking more of the case where it's effectively a minor Sale price, but without actually being a Sale. Effectively, people are then acquiring it for less than was intended by PGI. Further, they would be acquiring it early of when it should have been possible to buy it in the first place. Something like this can result in a possible shutdown of the servers while cleanup is done to undo what's happened, which results in lost time for the rest of the Community. Then legit people who didn't purchase now are mad because they had to wait due to the ones who did, unless PGI compensates them somehow.

You're really going to try to call me an abuser? That's really nasty, and I think may be bordering on a CoC Violation, as that happens to be considerable as a 'personal attack' or 'wrongful name and shame'. I seriously hope you're joking about acting like that towards me.

Further, there's Zero Extra Game Progression in terms of '(C-Bills)'/'Mech XP'/'General XP' provided by getting a huge stack of WarHorns like that. Sure, they're nice Cosmetics. But, they don't let you Buy Mechs to own and/or Skill Mechs already in your possession. An actual 'Abuse Situation' is the one you mentioned where people were using the In-Game Store to make (C-Bills) through Buy/Sell of Mechs, instead of going out to the battlefield to earn them the right way. An available Event Reward does NOT even fall in the same category, so please avoid lumping it as such.

Anyway, I thought PGI was really being serious when they did that, and that there was some off-the-wall 'Dog-related Pun' going on there. Heck, did you look properly at my post on that thread? I was trying to keep the spirit and crack some 'Dog-related Puns" of my own! Anyway, I hope they made sure everyone who did that challenge at least got 10, since that's what they cut all the ones who got 100 down to.

Good then I am not crazy. The ultra 10 have no sound either. Tried 3 differant mechs with ultra 10s and all with no sound.

balancing and all that .. most of the times games still feels the same because its always the same players around . PGI we need more players (but I must say that the community and the amount of players around do get better .. keep up)
