Thanks PGI for the free mechs. They look decent, too.

I'm waiting for the event and leaderboards

When did I go Merc and take a contract with the FRR, did I drink that much?

*UPDATE* Emailed suppot, hope I don't have to do the 10 probation matches over again.

Thanks for the 2 Heroes. They look great and i love that they both have the same pattern/colours.

I really wish you go back to that for (L)mechs, be part of something rather than have them be their own separate thing each.

Yeah, no crashes since I switched MWO to Steam, but I do get a bug sometimes where I can't see my piolot name in a group or click ready, even though the other people in the group see me on the list; this is fixed by logging out of the game and logging back in. I am almost certain that this bug is Steam-specific since none of the people I know who use the PGI launcher seem to have this issue. I actually reported this issue a few patches ago, but it persists.

The family resemblance is striking! Too bad "Cicada" Garth is not around anymore, maybe he would make this his new Mech.

The mobility of the Firestarter compensates. 'Mechs have advantages and disadvantages to use. If all had the same attributes, (e.g. pitch angle, torso twist angle, hard points, armor) then it would not make much sense to have such a diversity of them, would it?

lol... No it doesn't.

The Firestarter as some of the worst numbers for it's class of mech. Not to mention it's size since rescale. It's a light mech that is the size of a Med with the mobilty of a Heavy.

Ain't starting no fires with that.

[Warschnuffel]

Love the free Mechs Very brawly builds possible, had much fun tonight!

[Niyata Raastad]

Without knowing the aggregate data on it the machine gun Piranha still felt like it was a clear issue. I'm surprised and a little irritated this patch didn't opt to address it.

[mad kat]

Very early days but so far liking the two new mechs.
Running the roughneck with (LE 300) UAC10, 2X MRM10'S, 2X LMG'S and two SPL. It's for decent DPS and poking ability and can open up on exposed components quite well.
The sun spider, now that's a beautifully ugly mech in a good way (think group b rally car) great shape to it and I needn't of worried about it looking too small. Using UAC10 again with LBX5, ERPPC and two srm2's.

The word Fast should never be used in the same sentence as Highlander...W/O a qualifying term between them.
Example The Highlander IS NOT fast....if you want a fast mech DON'T buy a Highlander.

330 engine in a heavy metal will give you some pretty good speed.
Skip to 7 mins. Maybe 7 mins 21 seconds.

But yes I know what you mean.

[Knighthawk26]

Thanks, PGI, for the two free Hero mechs!

And the game (QP at least) is more balanced with more diverse options for both mech loadouts and tactics than ever. The current "meta" is almost no meta, and the mid range preference puts mechs close enough that brawling is often possible as well. Long range sniping and LRMing are still options but almost never dominate a match.

Overall, the game is better than it was a year ago, so gotta say, "good job PGI".

[Alan Hicks]

Well, what a nice surprise to have two completely new free heavy mechs with awesome paint-jobs. Their c-bills bonus and weapon options make them stand out with no doubt.

Probably will be testing and re-configuring those among the good news that CW no longer harbors penalties while switching loyalties.

Thanks, this was a good patch so far, I hope we have more like these in the future.

[Kali Rinpoche]

Thank you for the free hero mechs. Love the color schemes.

The Sun Spider needs serious ST quirks do to it's torso profile.

[Mikayshen]

Thank you for the free Hero mechs.

My only complaint about the Sun Spider as a whole is that when you use the 2 Ballistic mount side torsos the RT's first weapon goes into the lower mount and the LT's goes into the higher mount. Is that intentional?

[Conner Ward]

The patch is great! Thank you for all the Sun Spiders to farm for match score. And thank you for the sale on the Linebacker, which I have purchased and put to good use.

[Scythe63]

Only received the Vanguard did not receive the Roughneck???? They said two mechs to players not either or????

[D V Devnull]

Okay, my Profile's "Content" Page has gone empty. Is this Normal Behavior? I did happen to get the 2017 Holiday Bonus Hero Mechs, and both of them, but I find this puzzling to have disappeared.

Hey guys... I'm guessing it was because I waited a bit to Patch, but I'm not encountering any issues at the moment. Got the Holiday Heroes, was able to do the Manual Patch as PGI had thankfully put a link up this time, did NOT have to reinstall MWO, and I'm on the MWO Portal.

, I've seen that Group-based Bug that you're talking about, and I'm on the MWO Portal Launcher, NOT on Steam. Trust me, the issue is far more expansive, and it is a pain when it hiccups. The problem can be fixed, however, by rebuilding the group. Restarting MWO should not always be needed. But, let us hope that PGI finds the bug on their end and fixes it anyway, albeit that I suspect it may be linked to some odd form of lag.



As for this...

If you still don't have them, MESSAGE SUPPORT. You'll find the link at the top of any MWO Website page to gain contact with PGI's Staff.
