Corsair Holiday Hero Left Arm Hand Actuator has to be a typo, right?

Not if the possible Model Shapes for the Corsair include an actual Left Arm! Those kludged Corsair Mechs are a type of FrankenMech, after all!

The COR-5T and COR-RA also have hands on the left arm.

Some have speculated that the Corsair might actually have arm geometry change between variants, like for example some might have both arms be long and some might have both arms be little stubs. I'm not expecting PGI to go that far though. I'm expecting the left arm hands to be modeled like those tiny Adder and Stormcrow nubs.

Wow, Can the Warhammer llc get any more energy variants!!!!!!! all you had to do is make it like the Blackwidow and EVERYONE would be more than happy. but oh no slap some more worthless energy variants together. Man, you guys screw up way more than you ever do good. I'm aware of free stuff. boo huu, poor me. I don't need it. I didn't ask for it. sure as $hit don't want it. No one reads these comments of any importance anyway. just a good way for me to vent.

Very nice. there's an old cowboy saying, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

But there's a much older one from 1250 B.C., saying you should always look a gift horse in the mouth.

Don't remember asking for it. So let's avoid the appeal to the majority fallacy on this one. Further, we are getting one with ballistics, and the uniqueness on the holiday hero is its jump jets. So judging from the artwork, a jump-snipe option for this one is not out of the realm of possibility. No there is not a quad ballistic variant, but there are plenty of flavors to choose from, 3 potential missile boats, 3 energy (1 with jump-snipe), and one with dual-, potentially large-bore, ballistics. I agree with Acersecomic.

Hey guys

Sorry for the slow update... Mech_Con took a lot out of us.
I had this other thing that needed to get taken care of yesterday.
Mech Info is up now and the Qualification times as well.
Will continue to work on this stuff to get you more details and post the event pages

• A couple Mechs came out for MC and C-Bills today Will be posting those details shortly.
  
• I am going to Start working on the Advent Calendar event and posting those details tomorrow.
  
• I have the Charger and Hatimoto Chi Release countdown to start. Will do 1st post tomorrow.
  
• Stocking Stuffer event and December Sales need to be planned.
  
• not to mention a bunch of housekeeping stuff to finish up from Mech_Con.

I appreciate any patience you can extend at this time while I try and work through this backlog of Items.

Things happen. That's life.

I appreciate the update and preview of what's coming up.

I didn't realize it was almost Charger time! I'm actually pretty jazzed about that.

Looking at the loadouts for the holiday mechs, I think the WHM-IIC is going to be interesting, though I was wishing for a ballistic or 2nd missile hardpoint; I suppose JJs will suffice. The Corsair... hardpoints look okay, but I can't say the concept art has me thrilled. I am looking forward to seeing it in game though.

Be Well

Hmm... No, sorry, I don't recall asking for that.

Personally, I was silently hoping for 2 Missile or 1 Missile/1 Ballistic in addition to X number of energy hardpoints. We get JJs instead. I can work with that.

I didn't. Don't put words in my mouth, thank you.
I'm liking the idea of a free Clan 80 tonner that can jump snipe.

[patriots87]

Kinda disappointed with the hardpoints on this WH 2C. Its basically a generic WH 2C that's in the standard pack but with a hero tag slapped on to it. Sure it has jumpjets, but that's not enough to make it unique enough to stand out from the other WH 2C from the packs especially the base WH 2C in the standard pack which only has two more energy hardpoints in the torsos. But its free so I shouldn't complain to much.

[tripcat1021]

Awesome Job PGI. Thank you for everything you and the team do. Love the game, keep up the good work....

[Augustus Ull]

Most cool! Maybe some more Frankenmech in future offerings? Always wanted a 'mech with a bulldozer blade for a beard.

[Augustus Ull]

Was there ever a Blueprint and Lore write-up done for the Warhammer IIc? I might have been napping or maybe....hey, was that a squirrel?

[cougurt]

oh boy, we're going to be seeing a lot of horrendous builds on that warhammer.

What about that email we're supposed to get with goodies??

Nothing stopping a team mate or friend from popping in for you while you're otherwise occupied. Where there's a will, there's a way; if you want the stuff bad enough, you'll make it happen.

I think that was a 'fudge up' by our slightly-nuts 'Mr. Russ Bullock' at "Mech_Con 2018"... Just look forward to the Holiday Bonus Gift Match, and what will come with that as soon as you've made a Single Match during the Time Window (currently 36 Hours, but has been requested to be more) where you contributed at least 50 Match Score of effort to Your Team.

As for this...

You DO realize -- like already does -- that happens to be a violation of the Terms Of Service & Code Of Conduct, right? Nobody is supposed to be sharing their accounts like that. PGI can even Ban if they spot a major difference in Login Location within too short a period. If you value your In-Game Effort at all, as well as any Real $$$ you may have ever put into MWO, then Account Sharing is something to ABSOLUTELY AVOID at all costs!

underwhelming warhammer iic hero.
JJs dont justify the loss of 2 energy hardpoints from the standard

and just think. how many pure energy clan Assaults are good?
not many. very few in fact.
off the top of my head, the laser vomit MAD-IIC (but the same loadout on EBJ is better)
and the erLL SNV (but again its not really that great in QP)

should have gone with ballistics. would have added much needed variety to the warhammer iic lineup.
and it would have made this hero actually good. like the Vanguard.

only way to salvage with such hardpoints is super quirks. like the Warhawk.
but even then its gonna be meh.
ppc poptart assault too speciallised and too difficult for most of the population who cant aim to play well.
laser vomit gonna make those who cry "Clan Laser Vomit is way too stronk" cry even harder.

so once again,
either DOA, or pro players gonna OP troll the heck out of everyone else.

Oh no, my completely and utterly free mech might not have a super-mega-ultimate-destroyer hardpoints. I got totally hosed! When the game police come to my house and hold a gun to my head forcing me to play it and only it for the rest of the game's lifetime, I'll be so unhappy! Life is so unfair!
