Well, to be fair, we measure mechs performance by how good they are for 12v12.

Apart from people doing some community driven duels we dont really have the experience to tell how the mech will perform in 1v1.

A lot of them don't make sense even for 1v1.

Eg, the Kit Fox/Adder/Cougar being in same Division as Oxide and Jenner IIC. In a 1v1 dual, such slow and fragile lights really don't stand much chance against a fast SRM splat boat like those.

Timby at Division 2 makes no sense for 1v1 either, as even with its best brawling builds it stands little chance against other mechs in that division.

I just want to know how I am meant to compete in Division 7 on my Clan account to maximise my overall ranking. =/ hope theres a Division 7 mechs sale.

And what is going to compete with the Yen Lo Wang in div 7 rofl, nothing. I would call that a good marketing ploy to try and sell more wang's, bravo pgi bravo.

Same problem exists in Division 6, and in Division 5 they only have Jenner IIC-2, Jenner IIC-3, Hunchback IIC-B and Hunchback IIC Deathwish... just 4 mechs.

YLW actually isn't that good anymore; I suspect the Grey Death and Vindicators will be better than the YLW.

Can we pls have some info if the blot on cosmetics will be 'mech specific to buy like camos, or universal like colours?

[Horseman]

No details on supply cache refund?

[ZortPointNarf]

Neato, I look forward to this.
The map temperature was a nice surprise.

@PGI, could you please provide a list of mechs that support bolt-ons?

Wishlist:

• A page that highlights all the variants you have per division.
  
• IS Omni Mechs
  
• Urbie IIC

Speed doesnt mean much in the brawl. A srm kitfox will kill a oxide/jenner 2c.

Timber might not be the best in div 2 but its up on the top. Tell me who is going to win
timber or a mist lynx(lol right?)
timber or a nova
timber or mdd


Timber srm+small laser builds are very powerful.

more potatoe tears, thats why.

[John McHobo]

It speaks volumes about the current balancing of weight classes that Heavies don´t even exist in the lowest two divisions at all.

Also : Thanks Piranha for bringing up nerfs to an entire weapon class due to you existing. Who could have foreseen that boating a weapon this hard would lead to slight balance issues...

Another LRM-apocalypse incoming, prepare and lubricate your **** for 207m/s LRM-storms.
There seem not to be any limits how much PGI hates its old players.

Maybe Kit Fox, but what about Cougar and Adder?

Timber and Mist Lynx? IDK.
Nova would beat Timber.
Mad Dog would beat Timber.

Other Div 2 mechs? Summoner, Ebon Jaguar, Marauder, Warhammer and Orion IIC will all beat the Timber Wolf.

OK, the sneakpeak from yesterday showed that they are owned by 'amount', so I guess you need to buy them one at a time like cockpit items.

Flamers are not restricted in Solaris, however their performance has been reduced with a nerf which only applies to the Solaris Games.

Boo!

"Your 'Mech's equipped Bolt-Ons, earned and purchased in Solaris, will also be visible in all of MWO's game modes including Quick Play and Faction Play."

No! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

We were told ages ago, sell value of caches is what you get back and 25 mc for unused keys.

We were told what they were planning to do at that time, which could have changed since.
Note that last time there was a major refund (with the Skill Tree), the patch notes did cover it: https://mwomercs.com...15-16-may-2017/
